My problem with this is that yes, looking at the species level from our sample of ~1 the most intelligent species wins out (although there seems to be a lot of debate as to if Neanderthals were more or less intelligent than humans). But wit

I too ran Squid. It was more annoying than not (except for images, where I do think it was quite useful) It seem you concede the point about survivability though? Those other things that seem unrelated to the utility of HTTP vs HTTPS.

Sure, but hiding the contents provides a lot more value than hiding some parts of metadata. It's ridiculous to argue otherwise. It's true that general resources could be cached in some cases, but personalized information couldn&

The OP was right - avoiding a unfair trial is still fleeing. The word "flee" is not a pejorative in any way. For example flee North Korea all the time.

You really, really need different skills depending on the model. If you are using Qwen 27B you need very prescriptive skills. If you are using Astra you usually want very minimal skills (because it will follow them but be unnecessarily cons

This sort of works. The problem is that you'll end up wanting to run 2 or 3 (or 20, 100, 10,000) agents at once and that gets very hard with a single VM. There's also an argument that you should be using a separate sandbox for eac

Of course skills shortages are closed by migrants! You've never met one of the many ex-UK police officers or nurses? Or the many welders on mine sites? And of course skilled migrants have dependents - they generally have partners and k

This isn't really right. GDP per capita is mostly static since a large increase pre-COVID during the explosive China growth years 2005-2020. Most variations since are exchange rate variations more than actual changes in GPD vs populati

Just to be clear on this - Australia is primarily interested in methods of reducing trade barriers, not any sort of political union. Australia is economically served well by free trade: most of its production is low cost, high quality prima

> it's not true that ai has a 10% chance of causing human extinction within 10 years. I agree with this. The rest of it I don't. For external actions to be taken there needs to be a consensus and there clearly isn't that.

Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry would like a word. Taste is subjective, but is there really a more beautiful building in the world than the Heydar Aliyev Center?
