You can't justify it being OK just because it's common. Here, this just makes benchmarks into a low signal and useless marketing number once people get numb to all the 99%s. Also no idea what viruses and cancers have to do with th

Ah I get it but you can't also just self censor for everyone left and right, and we have no right to get others to self censor. We will quickly run out of words to describe anything offensive. It's just outrage culture, I mean you

It's not just learning is it, why do people buy hand ground coffee when there quite literally isn't any difference? Or audiophile snake oil? As long as humans are still the consumers, some part of consumption will be emotional. Co

I have no evidence at all, but could it be that repeating the same thing over and over again in the context makes models latch on to it wrongly and gives them more confidence despite it being wrong? Kind of like a sunk cost fallacy… Althoug

Not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting that the current state of affairs is a result of not putting in extra work to guide or direct models away from such behavior? That perhaps this is their ground state?

That's true. So there's probably a balance somewhere and it might differ for different "managers". But personally I think right now they're too far in the do everything yourself at all costs mentality.

The problem with latex is definitely not types, not unless you're maintaining hundred line macros and defs. I think one problem is just that it's hard to represent 2d stuff in 1d. Like let's not even talk about equations, wha

I used to take notes in latex. I was fast enough to do it with snippets etc. Just skip over mistakes and fix them later. So for that application I think AI assistance would still be not very useful? Also if you were to do assignments with l

Antibiotics of all sorts, runoff, etc... There's no magic panacea. Thai and Vietnamese shrimp farms have been known to kill of swaths of mangroves. This you can find from a Google search. On a more anecdotal basis, I've also heard

Container escapes can however be quite easy... There are tons of known exploits. Containers are not secure in the first place. In any case even if you're using VMs or bare metal, it is all for moot if you have poor networking set up li

We still have guns and knives and nail guns and even cars. They automate something, but also have potential to injure and kill. You just weigh the pros and cons. You don't just not do something because there's a risk of death. Car

Criminals also try their best to cover up their tracks but that doesn't mean we don't try to catch them too. So nothing should change for AI powered xyz too. I kind of agree. You can't blame a model for running a red light wh

Yea it's sometimes kind of annoying. I think they're optimizing for the wrong thing. A good engineer knows when to turn around or ask. This is just insane banging head on wall sometimes. It tries to find all kinds of ways to hack

Do you have a source on the speed limit of biological computation. Potential gradients should behave just like electricity. Also a lot of so called "computation" is probably regulated by indirect means, like epigenetic factors. It

WG is totally fine for home labs etc. But pushing configs to the server or networm when onboarding a new peer, making sure the new peer IP doesn't collide with someone else, etc. Can be quite annoying sometimes. NAT is honestly smaller

It just matches real life. What about lmb to shoot? You don't fire a gun on trigger release, you fire it on trigger down. Walking? Would be weird moving only on keyup.

Indeed, it's absurd people still have this left/right standoff. Boggled my mind as a kid in history class that the Republicans somehow wanted to free slaves in the past but are all in on bombing the crap out of iraq. Well, guess t

Highly doubt, perhaps you're just biased due to your own beliefs. Anyway the left/right divide is really silly -- it mixes economic and political orientation. National socialism would be left because socialism and so my god, Mr mo

Perhaps we should compare how many famous people died, and how many near missed. I'm not great at stats but I'm guessing if it was all near misses that would be pretty insane, suggesting somehow they all got the idea to cancel on
