What I don't see being asked is "so what?" Why would trade be important in this relationship? I'd much more expect them to see us and treat us as we treat our aged parents -- not very useful, but we still care for and pr

The middle of a large desert is effectively free land, and perfect for solar. I don't see how space could ever be more economical in any respect. If beaming energy gets cheaper than transmission lines, we can beam it point-to-point on

I have the DeArrow extension installed and am seeing that same crowdsourced title. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36273890

Yeah, they should really be complaining about Lima, Peru!

Since that immoral group would include many if not most of the best painters, sculptors, and playwrights, can we assume you forgot the '/s'?

LightSpeed C, later renamed THINK C, had the Mac market sewn up before CodeWarrior. They had an excellent hypertext help built in, before web browsers. They were bought by Symantec, added C++, and then got beat out by Metrowerks.

Theory and evidence will show the same thing here. If you've got the right theory. And a common toaster.

Besides the obvious privacy concerns, I'm worried about dangers from it being invoked by someone else within voice range. I've always thought that's why the current Siri has limited abilities. I'm sure it won't be l

There's no mention in the article as to why the cuttings were beneath the floorboards. My guess is one girl got mad at another and slipped her classwork between the boards. Possible since this predated tongue & groove (the technolo

I'd guess that they started doing them by hand, saw that they weren't getting caught (no one minding the store), and so didn't bother.

It's part of the reason why discussions about consciousness often result in people talking past each other, when they start with the assumption that other humans think just like them.

You can ask the LLM "now describe it with breathless enthusiasm", if that's what you want. There's been no shortage of training examples out there.

If it's a marketing gimmick, they're fooling a lot large power companies: "Solar and battery storage to make up 81% of new U.S. electric-generating capacity in 2024" https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy&#x2F

You haven't earned it, your ancestors did. But your inheritance of this property is only a small fraction of your unearned benefits. Ask a dung beetle how fair life is.

What's missing from the problem statement is how elastic/inelastic the collision is. If it's 100% elastic, both cars will experience a 100 MPH change in velocity (to 50 MPH in the opposite direction). But yes, the textbook is

They condition this with "in US" because Baidu in China is larger?

Yes, sorry, 14 miles (a wishful typo!)

Yes, the LBT could theoretically do 0.006 arcsecond resolution in binocular configuration (22.8 meter aperture), which is about 14 feet at Jupiter distance, or 10 times worse at best. But then it costs 10 times less, and can see the whole u

I've been thinking about this and haven't found any fundamental difference. Sure, LLMs don't have our fine temporal resolution, but GPT-4 (at least) knows the date, and can get the current time using Python when asked. And ca

Or do the bulk of the training in a virtual world, only going to the physical world for the fine tuning.

Check your Contacts page for yourself: you may have entered a work address. (Or Apple might have 'helpfully' added it?) I haven't cared about tracking since removing all ads, either paying for no ads or simply doing without.

Being underwater with the right weighting is a rough approximation, as used by astronauts for training. Parabolic flight is better, and can be done at 1/6 g too. NASA tested a lunar wheelbarrow that way.

On the upside, even if you don't make it to the top you can always go back down, recharging as you go.

I ran it a few times (in separate sessions, of course), and got 'right' some times, as expected.

Today we'd include the GPU. If we include supercomputers, we really have to compare total global capacity, which is on the order of 1 million times that of 1997 [0]. That basically fits his trend line. [0]: https://ourworldi

I want that too, but it'll have to be a lot more secure, as now it would be trivial to record me saying Hey Siri and play that back.

Because it understands what it's looking at. No clearer way to put it. If you compare scanning random garbage text, it will likely be as bad as the others, including humans.
