Taxing mega corporations more aggressively is one often cited approach, but I agree this doesn’t really provide enough for UBI. 1000 a month to each household would be about 1/20th of our GDP.

Are you implying software isn’t valuable? Because that’s just a non starter — it obviously is.

If a highschooler is using reddit to find information, I guarantee they find the thread through google.

And University of Nebraska, and University of Wisconsin Maddison, and Texas A&M, and Ohio State, and many others. It seems like you based what you said on some vague notion of prestige, but if you look at the courses offered/requir

Exactly. If programmers can be fully and effectively replaced, then almost all white collar jobs can be as well.

I would bet that even the worst Amazon truck gets more pounds of product per Joule expended than the best drone for any reasonably real world distance/load.

The Github exchange didn’t warrant sharing, but the email was over the line, in my opinion.

If you have binaries you almost always have “permission” to do that — you can do whatever you’d like with files on your own system.

I agree with the sentiment, but I disagree with this: > Any attempts to create a Reddit clone.. or system in which people freely communicate is now “regulated” for “hate” speech or “terrorism”. The fact is that many “systems in which peo

You can add hooks to functions and “fork” binaries, which is a pretty similar effort to adding training data to given model weights.

If the company supplied the employee with the “illegally obtained” books, that could be reason to view the situation differently than an employee acting on their own. Since the company is obtaining + providing these models with 100% of thei

Does the fact that it’s old mean it’s part of the scientific method?

You can reasonably expect an LLM to respond appropriately often. Which percentage of the time depends on the details, but it’s not much more magic than expecting the bridge you built to hold up.

You cannot predict results in _any_ domain with 100% accuracy, especially not in most engineering domains. Why do you think rockets explode, bridges collapse, etc.

Does the scientific method include peer review? I thought that was a recent phenomenon.

I strongly disagree that these are the only 2 possible explanations. The first is clearly not true — these second order effects are well known and often discussed, and the fact that sanctions are used in circumstances when the population is

What if I (like so many others) want my device manufacturer to retain some kind of control of my device after sale?

This sounds like a good thing; the sanctions are working as intended.

If you want to explain something in a loose fashion, that works. It doesn’t work so much for proofs in a lot of mathematics, especially because the “common ground” you speak pf starting at would be hours of explanation behind what you’re tr

I think it’s just that what’s being talked about is so precise and so deep in the weeds of nested definitions that you generally need to talk like that, or at least you have to be a truly gifted communicator to write a math paper without it

I agree that it’s accurate to describe LinkedIn, but the larger context is subjective moderation on a government run social media platform, so I was trying to point out that what’s safe on LinkedIn is generally considered to be good by the
