What's remarkable about this list is that every single piece of advice is exactly the opposite of what you should do! > 1. Non-interactive by default > Commands have to run without interactive prompts when an agent invokes them.

Virtually all the drugs you take, interventions, cancer treatments, etc. are based on such science. Almost everything we have in modern medicine is. This whole position is nonsense. The paper stands on its own.

The fact that the model is contaminated doesn't mean that it won't behave mostly like a model from that era. But it casts doubt on everything done with this model unfortunately.

Who is "their"? There are plenty of open models you can download today and run. No gatekeeping. No fencing. This whole "AI is evil" trope is getting a bit tired.

They did so much to keep this model from having data contamination and then in the post-training phase they basically gave up and undid all of their hard work. This model is contaminated in subtle ways that make me skeptical of the results.

Not how rules work. First they can shoot down your drone. Second they can ban you from ever flying one again. All without any criminal prosection. To prosecute you, it is not willfully and knowingly. It is willfully or knowingly. If you exp

You cannot fly drones over 400ft above the ground (with some very narrow exceptions). So this isn't narrow, it's extremely broad. You can't read such rules in a vacuum without knowing their context.

What strikes is not the systemic failures. But the intense culture of secrecy. Reports are heavily redacted. They aren't shared. Failures aren't acknowledged. Engineering models aren't released. That secrecy eventually causes

Meson merges the crappy state of C/C++ tooling with something like Cargo in the worst way possible: by forcing you to handle the complexity of both. Nothing about Meson is simple, unless you're using it in Rust, in which case you&

No we absolutely don't. The US hardly spends anything on research. The entire yearly budget for the National Cancer Institute is $7 billion dollars. To put this in perspective, that's 3 days of funding the DoD. For cancer. That ki

Most people are far more honest. I have never given a referral without knowing the person and what they can and can't do. Sure, you can always find a website with someone shady on it. But that's always been the case.

No. The people are to blame. Both the people who voted for the criminal to be president. And the people who supported such a horrible Democratic candidate that she couldn't even win against Trump.

If by roughly the same you mean 10% to 100% more (think cables for high markup) and I have to go to the store instead of having it come to me. With much worse selection. Then yes. That's an amazing experience!
