People aren't mad that they collect the data, everyone does that, but that they immediately deleted it, then lied about it ever happening, in a matter of life and death. I would deeply encourage you to re-assess whatever led you to mak

Hefty. The process is effectively just injecting all of the JS into the Node interpreter executable, so it's the size of the interpreter plus whatever you stuff inside. It's close to 50MB.

Yes, I've created single-file Gleam executables by compiling to JavaScript and then using Node's experimental SEA (single executable application) feature. As a bonus, typically I've found the JavaScript targets to run a good

Not my point, but I agree with it so. The statement was one of capability. There are some things that the tech is flatly not capable of, and that it will take time to develop the capability of. Even if there were no safety concerns at all a

"Full self driving" was the term used and I believe the distinction is relevant to the point being made.

They had a rocky path to that first human patient, and even the first human participant has had a rocky journey with it, with many electrodes failing soon after implanted.

You can't easily convince a remote computer to curl | bash itself. Worms spread because remote code execution was laughably easy back then. Also because computer hygiene was abysmal. LLMs are more than happy to run curl | bash on your

Nobody is immune to propaganda. Thinking you are paradoxically makes you more susceptible.

It is not. People are allowed to do what they will, as long as those people are not the outlet itself. The propaganda outlet loses control over it and cannot push the media through, only hope that others pull it from them.

Generation X is pinned starting in the mid-60s. The Millenials follow, with Gen Z capping the range off in the early 2010s. It's about 50-60 years.

Two decades ago makes the GenZ reference confusing, as the very oldest of them by the most generous definition would be only 9 years old. With a span across 50 years, that range from Gen X to Gen Z is just awkward to place as "young bu

It's perplexing, to put it generously, but it doesn't throw the semantics of the entire sentence into question.

It may seem that way, but there's no way that they haven't tried it. It's a pretty straightforward idea. Being unable to escape untrusted input is the security problem with LLMs. The question is what problems did they run i

First, a few disclaimers, I am not a lawyer and this is an actively evolving area. The answer that most aligns with current precedent to my knowledge is that the parts you modify are protected by your copyright, but the rest remains uncopyr

The binary units like GiB, TiB, are technically supposed to be Gibibytes and Tebibytes. Thought it was a bit silly when they first popped up but now I find them adorkably endearing, and a good way to disambiguate something that's often

I did some ridiculous napkin math. A random URL I pulled from a Google search was 705 bytes. A googl link is 22 bytes but if you only store the ID, it'd be 6 bytes. Some URLs are going to be shorter, some longer, but just ballparking i

I think you're reading a little far into it, the number 10x was used prior so it was used there in demonstrating that there are some problems that scaling can't fix, it's not a statement on how far VR has come or not.

I wouldn't call it a clear sign of LLM use myself but in the year of our lord 2025 it should be unheard of, we've got so many nice tools for layouting nowadays. It's certainly below par if LLMs can't reliably manage it.

MCMC is reliably predictable. I believe I made it clear in my last comment that that was the goal, not actual run-to-run determinism which is achievable.

It's reasonable for tools to produce reasonable, predictable output to enable them to be used well. A tool can have awful, dangerous failure modes as long as they're able to be anticipated and worked around. This is the critical i

I'm no fan of 3000 year old vampire dragons, but this is not a 3000 year old vampire dragon. The whole of Japanese animation should not be reduced down to 3000 year old vampire dragons.
