What happens when you you start floating? I guess water propulsion... and a rudder?

There is a reason China does so well refining metals like lithium and rare earths: it's difficult, resource intensive and polluting. They have about a 80% global share in lithium processing. That doesn't matter under a communist d

Can you post the Amazon DE links? Because none of the listings I see specify that processor. Would like to try this out, but getting an incompatible machine would be a real bummer. Edit: OK, I think the Android 15 is this one: https:/

Did you get it from AliExpress? If so can you post the link to the listing, because I'm not certain that you'll get the same CPU even for the model number.

If you'd read the whole series of tweets it's obvious that is not their intention and there needs to be "incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation" for the penalty to apply. I

The Soviet Union, which was much worse, went on for a very long time. But it fell under similar circumstances, essentially bankrupted by a war in Afghanistan. It's not so much when the population feels it, rather the elites who prop Pu

It's the circle jerk economy. Companies appear to be spending endless billions on AI but ultimately it's a huge wank.

'Sorry' serves the same purpose as 'excuse me', 'yeah' or 'okay' in that it has a multitude of meanings depending on tone, intonation and context. For instance 'yeah' can mean 'yes, con

What's galling is Tesla's influence. Why do electric cars need to have screens besides (or instead of) the dashboard? WHY? Or any other of Tesla's misfeatures. I own a Kia Rio hachback. It was incredibly cheap for the feature

The best art makes you think and/or feel, and engage with it in a personal way. There's nothing about subtly in that claim, and all forms of art are equally valid, if not the same quality. Bansky's art has always been blunt a

In the long term nations will likely end up with whatever renewables work for them (hydro/solar/wind/thermal) plus the appropriate amount of batteries and expensive, low use (stored) gas/oil plants for "emergencies&

> Well, we did build airplanes out of steel, but there are better (lighter) materials avaiable. That's exactly my point. In this analogy LLMs are steel, but the flying things are made out of aluminum, lithium and titanium and not st

LLMs are amazing. You can call them 'smart', but they're not intelligent and never will be. They are useful but a cul de sac for heading toward AGI.

by nutjob2 6mo ago
That's not his point at all. He advocates using LLMs. The correct analogy is: if we just scale and improve steel enough, we'll get a flying car.

Much more interesting is Mir: https://github.com/vnmakarov/mir It has all the tools for custom JIT including a nice C compiler.

It mostly doesn't make any sense and seems to be motivated by some kind of animus or bigotry. But maybe understandable given the current administration's behavior.

That is nonsense. There is the rule of law and there is the arbitrary actions of regimes that are a law unto themselves.

Not at all. In non totalitarian/authoritarian countries you're fine if you stay on the right side of the law, instead of the whims of the regime.

This is false equivalence. Outside of immigration issues, you can only be made to surrender your passport if you have been arrested and indicted for a crime, as a part of bail. That power can only be granted by a judge. China arbitrarily tr

What makes you think it will? Your dichotomy is a false one. We don't even know what 'thinking' is so the idea that it'll create it just by scaling does not follow. What is much more likely is that we're on the wron
