Determining if there is a genocide or not doesn't depend on the kill score but on factors which (ironically) find their highest experts among jews and Israelis (Lemkin, Bauer, Charny, Auron). Some of them have actually helped define th

I'm not particularly involved with the whole Israel/Palestine question yet I was unable to not find myself put in front of a lot of evidence, and I don't follow/have social media.

Do you feel like Apartheid and/or genocide are justified in this case?

Feels like saying a kidnapper is "actually" feeding its prisoner, so after all it's not so bad. With all the money and political goodwill the US has spent on Israel, couldn't these good results be reached by anybody havi

So are you saying that Israelis have brought all those things to whom exactly?

Who is "us" here? And, just to be sure, are you saying that all those things exist thanks to Israel?

The real treat would be using AI to stop regulatory capture so you don't end up in a country where it's okay to be presented with a 195K bill that can be magically lowered if you insist hard enough.

I think "our" mistake is that we wanted to make a modern human first, while being unable to make an animal or even a caveman, and we lost something in the leap-frog. But we effectively have a database of knowledge that has become

It's truly saddening that we have to solve this problem technically, whereas it should have been solved politically (or better, this absurd thing should never have been considered). The fact that it can be slightly contained by more te

Pretty sure lots of smart-minded europeans would love a chance for europe to detach and be actually allowed to develop its own services sector. Seems to me the US wants europe to be a contributing ally when it suits, and an open market to d

Somebody might even say that the administration sees russia as a useful tool to force europeans into paying a protection tol, not sure it's limited to this administration either

The AGI argument assumes there is a 0 -> 1 moment where the model suddenly becomes "AGI" and starts performing miraculous tasks, accompanied by recursive self-improvement. So far, our experience shows that we are getting increm

I think the "deep state" crusade assumes a sort of good faith that it's obviously lacking in this administration, judging their intent from their behavior and outcomes paints a much scarier picture.

Feels like saying Elasticsearch (and similar) tools are dead because we can just grep our way through things. I'd love to see more data on this.

I agree. My speed at reviewing tokens <<<< LLM's token's. Perhaps an output -> compile -> test loop will slow things down, but will we ever get to a "no review needed" point? And who writes the tests?

The USSR fell because its economic model didn't work and was a society steered by corrupt principles. Jeans and rock and roll "envy" was just a symptom. After having seen the effect of communism/russianism on post-soviet

This needs to be solved at the language level by defining whitelist-like contexts. Some sort of with MyContext(allow_sys_cmds=false, network=false, read_disk=false): ... I've seen at least a paper trying to bolt-on such a f

Assuming the "Designed for caching immutable blobs", I guess the approach is to indeed increase the cache size in each AZ or eat the cross-AZ networking costs.

And a lot of lead-generating subreddits are gatekept by admins/mods, sometimes for money. Also, there are russians offering services to promote (spam upvotes and fake comments) your product, and for some of our competitors it's ve

I think that this kind of automation will lead to assets outweighting "real" work way more than they already do now, and I hope I am wrong.

A huge problem of articles in general is that they are made to entertain you rather than inform you because of ad-driven incentives. It's indeed all bullshit.
