The constitution says so. However, it was amended in the early 90ties to acknowledge that the scope of the ROC government is presently limited to Taiwan and the outlying islands.

China would have open access to the oceans even without controlling Taiwan. The same rules that deny China territorial rights to the South China Sea also grant it access to the oceans. The Nine Dash line is about territory. China wants the

The RoC releasing its claim on the rest of China would be a de-facto declaration of independence as well since it wound cease to be the rump state of the country founded in 1912 and become something else.

Nobody is considering giving AI unrestricted access to anything yet. Code written by AI is reviewed by humans, and I would be shocked to hear that sysadmins are considering letting AI agents execute arbitrary commands.

The software distribution problem is not a close-ended, technical task that we could realistically expect an LLM to have an answer for. At least not now. The latter problem could eventually be lessened by fine-tuning the LLM more specifical

So far, this involved changing the input or patching the code generator. Now we can simply nudge the code generator toward the fix. And we circle back to the point TA is making: just like you can't expect a junior programmer to get it
758.

In that case, it might be easier to start over with fixed specs. That might not be as much work as it sounds like since most of the existing code would have been produced by the LLM, and only the human feedback and interventions would have

That should be quite easy compared to software development, which is much more open-ended since the requirement are usually more nebulous, potentially contradictory, and at times simply wrong.

MOND and DM try to explain the same phenomena, and the debate can probably be settled on way or the other by looking at enough interesting galaxies, or by finding dark matter or definitely ruling out that it exists. GR and Quantum Mechanics

Wayland is working fine with NVidia hardware for quite a while now, even with the proprietary driver.

If you ask the IDE to show blame info next to each line, then a lot of lines will be from the big reformatting. If course you can dig in and retrieve the history still, but it's an extras step then. Btw, it seems that at least Git has

In a certain sense, all open models skimp on fine-tuning. Since ChatGPT gets user feedback, OpenAI theoretically sits on a growing pile of data that can be used for continuous fine-tuning and alignment. For local models, you'd have t

Yeah, I admit this was a risky statement :-) Editing the PDF just seems like the wrong place to place the edit since it is a format intended for interchange and archivation. Layering changes on top makes total sense. Changing existing objec

That's the issue - I keep hearing that it is beyond small research group's budget to meaningfully train such a large model. You don't just need GPU time, you also need data. And just using the dregs of the internet doesn&#x27

The issue with Attention essentially is that it is used to relate all token of the input sequence with each other. The need to do that somehow makes sense no matter how much one understands about the internals of a transformer. The naive wa

PDF manipulation is IMHO a niche application. If one really has to do that at scale, it would be probably better to fix the problem upstream to generate it correctly in the first place, or to layer the changes on top of the existing PDF and

Depends how much you quantize the model. For most general-purpose LLMs, the model completely dwarfs the size of the binary code.

Just because it could be deployed almost anywhere, doesn't mean it will . Just like with rental housing containers that could be ordered to be shipped anywhere a road leads to. We will likely see more nuclear installations though

by samus 3y ago
And we saw what happens when nuclear installations are caught behind frontlines. In such situations, installations composed of SMRs would have advantages. For example, artillery blowing one up would be quite gnarly still, but less so than i

SMR won't deployed to remote locations and then forgotten though. They will be installed and managed like usual nuclear installations: at dedicated sites, with appropriate security, and close supervision. Their purpose is to make these

A word or a concept that is unknown has simply no impact on the output. Try to replace "baby raccoon" with "maxolhx" in the prompt, and it will ignore the word and render an Italian priest instead. Strictly speaking it s

That's one large bottleneck resolved, perhaps one of the most limiting. But it doesn't mean they will actually crank up the assembly line that far to then sit on a large inventory, which would create its own issues.

Unlikely, that would imply a major breakdown of civilization. They are all connected to power lines, else they would not have been installed in the first place.

The only alternative is extracting them to other files or designing specialized string formats.

Those attempts sometimes fail, and then people might be in an even worse condition than they were before. Maybe quadriplegic and/or in a psych ward. The government is involved in every section of our lives. Births are registered, dea

It is allowed in some places. The problem is it's a terrible slippery slope which has been used to get rid of people whose lives were considered to not be worth living.

In the face of scope creep, changing requirements, unforeseeable external factors, and purely human factors (like corruption, incompetence, neglect, internal rivalries, etc.), projects always faced huge risks. Projects nowadays are vastly b
