Lego sets aimed at children are still good! They work as standalone toys, and can also be reassembled, modified and combined. Very few toys are like this. Adults collect them, true, but there are whole lines dedicated to them.

The assertion was "if you really know how to prompt, give feedback, do small corrections and fix LLM errors, then everything works fine". It is impossible to prove or disprove because if everything DOES NOT work fine you can alway

Ah, yes, let's concede just a bit of fascism, not a lot.

By your own data, Apollo had 65% more money than SLS/Orion. My point is, Apollo had a clear objective: put people on the moon. When that was achieved, they shut it down. SLS objective is: do something NASA-like with astronauts, using c

Iran's nuclear program cannot produce usable nuclear weapons just with enriched uranium, so there's no risk at all for them to blackmail anybody.

The budget is very much different, as % of the total federal budget (4% vs 1%) and in USD adjusted for inflation (60B vs 20B).

The Apollo program budget was immensely large, and the objective was clear: put people on the moon before the Soviet Union. Artemis objectives are less well defined, more ambitious and with way less money. The big budget is being allocated

No, you don't commit war crimes against anybody. You call them war criminals and prosecute them.

Digitally painting an image is completely different from asking an AI to make one. Writing a short story is very different from asking an AI to write it. Same with arithmetics, problem solving, coding.

Months (years?) of publicity from AI companies telling us that the AI is nearing AGI and will replace programmers. Some people are excited about that future and want it now. In reality, LLMs can (currently) build worse versions of things th

What tiny detail? The whole point of the article is that they used bombs that can raise the temperature so high that it can “evaporate” people.

And they are in Europe, thanks to strong labour laws!

At least the MK-84 can use tritonal, which the article mentions specifically. When exploding it can raise the temperature to several thousand degrees.

Could be, but the way to fix it is with labor laws.

Yes, you always need more sources, that's why I don't dismiss it as propaganda. It would not be the first time that a news org lies, and it would not be the first time that the IDF lies.

No, it's because of crappy labor laws

by mmustapic 8mo ago
But the specific information in the article could still be true.

by mmustapic 8mo ago
But why do you say it is distorted propaganda? How do you know that those bombs were not used in Gaza?

Why do you say it is propaganda?

No, homeless people should not live from tips, they should be helped by the government. I live in Belgium and tip because I'm used to (I'm from Argentina) and I know the staff is happy when I do it.

by mmustapic 8mo ago
I can't say if it's unfair or not. I would prefer every worker to get a decent salary, but no idea how they feel in countries where tipping is widespread like the US. But, if I go to a restaurant in the US, or, Argentina (where ti

Blood libel means harvesting blood for rituals. It has nothing to do with dropping bombs. Which Israel does, what's the controversy here?

I also live in Europe and tip, specially if I know that the salary of the staff heavily depends on tips. Also, if the service wasn’t great, I also tip, maybe they weren’t having a good day, like when I’m not that productive some day at my c

Exactly, and there needs to be some economic justification for a giant rocket. There is no money to be made by going to Mars, and AI data centers in space could attract investors (who are just riding the data center hype).

No, they started the engagement. What's wrong with trying to help somebody pushed to the street? Or are you recommending just letting police push people with cell phones to the ground and pepper spray them, unless you want to be shot d

You should watch the video, the police are the ones who engaged physically: pushed Pretti, pepper sprayed him, dragged him on to the street, hit him on the head repeatedly, and then got scared and shot. You can protest wherever you like tha

So, if you carry a gun and the police approaches you, better to shoot them?
