Honestly, if you're not protesting, you're enabling. That's why I dont think all Israelis agree with their government, or all gazaoui agree with Hamas. Protests, regular ones, are happening, on both side. I don't see a l

... To me its a great idea, transitionally, until the shares are ready to be given to workers and ex-workers, but i'll admit that was definitely _not_ on my bingo card. Hopefully this work great and we'll see the US nationalize mo

No, the crackpot theory is that the virus was engineered with Cas-9, not that it was a lab leak. This is a heavy rewriting of what happened.

That's arguably the most interesting about the discussion on LLMs. Can't they reason? If they do, reason is an emerging fonction. 2 years ago, before inference was truly added to LLMs,a Honk Kong university paper wrote that ChatGP

Four years ago, I wrote that to me, Transformers' most exiting application could be translating whale's songs. I was obviously very wrong (won't be the first time, won't be the last), but I imagine recording of birds sho

Happenned two days ago for me, the rule to block shorts from appearing in my feed caught a bit too much, and I mistakenly deactivated ublock while trying to refine them. YouTube ads are terrifying. Probably others are to, but my opinion to

But it's for life right? You just can't bankrupt out of repayment, and since its in the US, missing a payment kill your credit score and prevent you from borrowing for anything. In the 80s-90s in my country, we imported us-style l

Trump has like 5 or 6 bankruptcies, but it's not a bad thing and pretty much on purpose. He extracted the value from the companies, saddled them with debts, declared bankruptcies and managed to make money from that. On that particular

I worked with Brussels for one of the 'h2020' projects, that checks out. COVID didn't change anything. And this high level of pay have _no_ impact on corruption. Zero. None. In my experience, it's the opposite even. Bure

Home electricians will always be fine. But if you work under a manager, I guarantee you some in your business will start to use AI to micromanage you if nothing is done. Hopefully I'm too negative.

It's the wrong way to look about that imho. That's not the impression chineese i've talked too had, and if the most rural, disenfranchised people i've ever met have the illusion of choice, like most people in western cou

With Claude new context size, we were able today to feed it our library, an API page as well as part of our architecture documentation, and it was able to write us stories really well. We still had to check everything and rewrite a bit, but

I mean, in the last 50 years, US called Italy, Germany more than the reverse. And if you don't count logistical units, US has France on speed dial, not the reverse. The one time France asked the US something military-wise, Obama refuse

Depends at which level. From what I understand, democracy in China exists for local elections (they are mostly in the hand of local small bourgeoisie, but you have a choice).

Like I said, I like MTTs, I agree that incentives is necessary for the game to be playable (i.e players don't play truly randomly), but rewards, at least in my opinion, break games. If I need to be manipulated for me to appreciate play

Yes, agree, holdem is to me the most interesting variant of poker because the table and how players react to it carry information.

I think you have a middle point between no-information and full-information, and poker isn't that. My issue with poker is the money component, especially in cash games (I don't mind it in MTT): I think it's manipulative, basi

Linguistics can explain why and how the language evolve, who caused this evolution. I don't know any modern linguist (as in doctor in linguistics) who ever wrote 'you should say this and not that', because all of them knows t

If a modern linguist call any usage as wrong, I would ask for his diploma and check if I have to close his university, because clearly they shouldn't teach linguistics 101, let alone bring someone towards a PhD. Linguistics is descript

It's not? Could we expect people posing as scientists to show a modicum of rigor and honesty? I know tech bros are only posing (except maybe Bezos), but still, try harder? Altman is making me sympathize with Musk.

Transformers vectorize words in n dimensions before processing them, that's why they're very good at translation (basically they vectorize the English sentence, then devectorize in Spanish or whatever). Once the sentence is proces

To add a complementary point: Unions here are 'global', i.e while you have some sector-specific unions (police, farmers), most unions are 'piloted' by a central bureau, that can't actually force a strike or prevent
