We can have ChatGPT talk to itself by simply opening two chats and pasting back and forth. But the LLM can't win: if it notices then it will be called "wrong" because it is talking to another instance of itself. If it does n

I use Tailscale with an exit node to proxy my traffic through my home connection. This is undetected even though I am about 500 miles from home.

HSV-1 (cold sores) might be the ultimate example of success, it manages to spread essentially invisibly.

Is there a knowable "right" value? What should it be now? Otherwise this sounds like a circular "no true Scotsman" situation.

Not replacing, augmenting. Try to find ways to use the new tools to become more productive than other engineers. Help evolve integration and deployment frameworks to handle the snippets from LLMs in the context of larger projects with a min

This could be applied to society as a whole. Currencies are an abstraction on bartering which is an abstraction on doing every task required to support your life and family yourself. Each layer of abstraction creates a specialization and ef

I think it's fundamentally possible but the training set needed might be so large that you're better off just actually cataloging the DNA of most humans and pulling up the picture of the closest match.

The article seems to claim a speed limit of 0.1c for matter... but isn't this already disproven by the speeds reached in our particle accelerators?

I would imagine all sorts of genes are necessary to have blue eyes depending on how you look at it. After all, you need eyes in order to have blue eyes, and a whole bunch of other machinery to open them to check the color...

Great stuff... Now knowing what you do, could you speculate how would the current powers of the intelligence committee be viewed by the participants in that process?

That isn't what GP is saying. In order to effectively use the chat, you are going to tag that connection identifier with a name like Joe on your endpoint device, so that when a message comes in you remember this was the conversation w

Not just low... _zero_. That's where things get weird.

This is true, but those kids will simply operate at a higher level of abstraction than we do and get bigger things done. I don't know how to fab a transistor, but I can make good things happen across billions of them.

I wonder if LLM assist tools like GitHub CoPilot will further consolidate the programming language landscape. The productivity gains from using a well-supported language might raise the barrier to entry for new or niche ones.

Wouldn't this have profound implications for Drake's Equation? If the universe is that much older, then heavy elements have likely been around much longer. If that's true, then the Solar system is much younger than it was yes

I think GP means that at least you aren't dealing with a SaaS middleman that _also_ may intercept your code or claim authorship of the conversion.

I read it that way the first time too, but going back they mixed two incidents: One enthusiast had a treat quarter replaced for 14K, but this guy was charged 42k plus rental car fees that took him close to the at-fault party's 50k limi

So if I understand right, we know that those with colorectal cancer have suspiciously correlated proteins, which could be used for a better screen for this cancer. But do we know that consuming cow always causes this cancer? If not, what&#x

It absolutely does that... but the victim(s) sign the settlement, so it seems they are not ready to die on that hill.

I am definitely afraid of mass data collection and drones, both for warfare and law enforcement. They lower the cost of coercing and if need be killing, both emotionally and financially. AI will lower this cost further, and enable fewer and

Just like every other technological advance, there is a sort of "food chain" that builds on top of these foundational technologies. You didn't have to work in cryptography to play a role in the massive proliferation of online

This thread was a great read, even the tree parts, but it fails to address the line which I feel that social media crossed in 2020: I was inattentively ok with the behavioral spam filtering, I didn't notice it but very likely would hav
