Perhaps they need a bigger drum. Maybe they make a set of health guidelines, and for those who choose to follow them you get a $1000 tax rebate. If the benefits are as big as some estimate, the added longevity and productivity will lead t

So has anyone managed to separate the effects of semaglutide from the effects of weight loss? If this is caused by the weight loss, it is a little disappointing that public health didn't act quicker - lots of people have been overweigh

It runs fairly well in dosbox in a browser though right? Why port directly?

> don't think we're allowed to run Chinese models even locally. That sounds like a policy written by someone who doesn't understand how LLM's work...

You're absolutely right. I guess this website isn't ready for primetime yet. Let me rewrite it all only to still have most of the same issues it used to have, and a few extra ones too.

It also seems to have far more tokens per second than needed for general "close the blinds" "tool_call(blinds, CLOSED)". I do wonder if more smartness could be had by using sparser experts.... And possibly even havin

Phones could be set to "allow incoming calls from contacts only" by default. Then a spammer has to persuade you to add them to contacts before they spam you

The bias has to be small enough that if you ask an LLM to repeat some passage of text like the national anthem, either from the training data or from the prompt it doesn't change random words. Gotta be hard to tune that.

I had a huge stack of ancient mixed floppies and sold them for a dollar each on eBay. Interestingly most buyers didn't care about HD, DD etc. I suspect they went into art projects.

Unclear why there is a 1 second timeout at all. Presumably the patch for that will be to make it an infinity timeout.

It was working great... But now it says it can't connect. Did the server go down or did I hit one of your limits?

I don't think this is the case. Having worked on Chromium, the codebase is very modular and internal API's change pretty slowly. I can stop work on my project (which does fairly serious surgery to the internals of the rendering sy

These guys had already signed a deal to build - giving them permission and probably an agreed price - the money was to persuade them to give that up.

Fail to deliver, and they get bankrupted because a court would not simply unwind the deal - a court would demand compensation of the market price of the goods not delivered on delivery day - which will probably be very high.

Fail to deliver, and they get bankrupted... Do deliver and they don't get paid because the buyer purchased with money that doesn't exist. Lose-lose situation!

I just don't think you can combine speed, latency, price and intelligence into a single useful metric. Clearly the weighting of those things depends on the usecase

I put a load of washing on, then ended up in hospital for a year. On return, the contents of the washing machine were pretty much this.

> In a 2-1 vote, the FCC repealed a 22-year-old rule holding that a company cannot own stations that reach more than a combined 39% of the U.S. television audience. This seems like a very odd rule. What about things like CNN? Aren&

Couldn't the real copyright owner just sue the US government and get a payout? The fact this doesn't seem to be happening suggests that perhaps the copyright owner doesn't care?

If a future version of Claude ever gets less error prone than a human, I might prefer the smaller chance of a building collapse from Claude than the larger but insured chance from a human engineer.

Either these guys are going to try and build LLM swarms and agent loops.... Or they're going to try to build much bigger LLM's which are smarter. The former isn't very defensible, won't work super well due to current mod

Tom Mueller, Chris Thompson, Hans Koenigsmann, Tim Buzza etc have all left. Makes sense - they had been there ~20 years and must have a huge pile of stock. But due to musks political aura (mostly right leaning), the smart minds from univers

Crew dragon was designed by smart minds. Those smart minds have mostly left spacex now, since musk changed political sides and became much less 'cool' for the brightest to work at. That's why the company is struggling now - f

Another approach is to simply accept low quality data into the database, yet have some kind of filtering during the viewing stage. Eg. Draw me a map, but include only data points tagged with 'osm-license-verified-and-spam-filtered&#x2

People use 1000x more water than they need to drink. If a water supply chain attack happened, we would just distribute bottled water for drinking, and people would go without washing for a few days whilst the issue was sorted. Bottled water
