No, this is not sufficient, since it would still allow you to swap to shite ram of the same size. This is an age-old problem for counterfeits. The ink on the chip/PCB isn't worth anything. The only way to actually catch this is to

I'll pretend you don't mean "sustained" to allow me to type something. Does this qualify? Put a bowl of water down at room temperature, wait for one molecule to "evaporate", and I think you did it? Unfortunatel

I was slightly accelerationist until I got into an "argument" with Gemini! The aggressive gaslighting and "lies" that it tries to use genuinely makes me worry about the future with AI.

Sure, nobody knows the exact future. But you still plan for what's probably going to happen. I don't know if social security is going to be around when I retire, and all the experts are saying it's probably not going to be. S

As someone that tried systemd init early on, without bias (I have no emotional attachment to how things start on my computer), it was incredibly clear that they would win.

You're arguing a point I never made. Experience can be shared without the intent to manipulate/persuade towards a common cause, which is the definition of "rally". A blog post/social media about experience of use is

I don't see how this could work, right now, since every failing I've had was just generic stupidity of the AI, which is brilliant one minute, and a complete idiot the next. I think correction actions still require the ability to

Sorry, typo, and unclear. I meant to say fuel is ~50% operational cost.

by nomel 9d ago
Some of these sails claim 10% fuel reduction, which is ~5% operational cost, or ~150k per trip to spend on some tubes of metal or sheets of cloth.

by nomel 9d ago
Sails have an immediate operational cost reduction that should add up to a future net savings. Fusion research has no immediate benefit.

Then, I suppose you could argue there's a possible, statistically significant, genetic component for efficacy of placebo, in autistic people. ;)

Reminds me of a "Dice" electronics kit I assembled when I was a kid. It just used some standard sequential counter ICs run at very high rate. Pressing the "roll" button would just stop the counter!

You can try to tease solutions to physics problems out of video models, with their better spatial reasoning, but the answer has to be a video, of course [1]. I suspect we'll see significant improvements when someone releases a multimod

Why is this a concern? Besides a few savants, humans also use tools to do non-trivial math. I'm in engineering, and it's extremely rare to do anything non trivial in your head, because getting a decimal place wrong has real world

Don't be naive. If a blind man is asking you where to aim his gun, are you responsible for the death or is the blind man pulling the trigger? In the context of war, BOTH of you are, and both are valid military targets, just as a spotte

Or, probably just some optics, like a slanted $9 IR mirror [1] in front of it, to direct the lidar to the sky/absorption box. Then you can point at the high res HDR TV that's probably already in your living room. [1] https:/
