ML weights are not binary. They are modifiable. If produce a program that outputs a hello world file, I can open source the hello world script without open sourcing the hello world generator.

Shrug. I’m not the one claiming 25% is a good figure. Just that it’s a huge deal, if true.

There’s so just much missing information or changing contexts. Forget any specific model. You will not become particularly good at any domain specific task by reading prompts of people asking questions. That data sucks.

That is precisely what you can do if your workers are 25% more efficient. Yes just a matter of recognizing it’s 25% of various job titles, not 100% of 25% of job titles Or alternatively, drastically lower the skill requirement for the job a

I’ve heard for years that antibiotic resistant bacteria don’t really seem to be a threat because they tend not be very successful in the wild. Like it’s going to be, at best, a very localized outbreak because competitive pressures don’t rew

Damn that’s a horrifying vision. Code by a bot that has no consistency in library preferences or the absence thereof. Peek under the hood and it’s made dozens and dozens of helper libraries that all do the same thing and get used one time.

I don’t really agree. These things are extremely small. An outage for 1-6 hours is negligible. Russia has failed all of its strategic objectives including an effort to maim Ukrainian power infrastructure. I wouldn’t have been totally surpri

I’m guessing the scale of this isn’t as large as the article implies but I suppose we’ll see It’s been sort of reassuring to see how absolutely minimal of an effect Russian hackers have had on Ukraine these past years

Literally not software dev costs. It’s in the prompt. You literally cannot simultaneously describe software dev as opex and still talk about the 800k. Those are mutually exclusive framings of the context.

A specific election you can take is not at all the same as “you can do whatever”. Your writing heavily implied that they won’t penalize you for getting things wrong up to $1M. That’s flagrantly wrong. Assets do not need to be sellable. Good
