Just look at how much insects get done with just a few neurons to run together...

/Literally hundreds of billions of dollars spent already on hardware that’s already half (or fully) built, and isn’t easily repurposed./ It's just data centers full of devices optimized for fast linear algebra, right? These a

Huh. The folks I know who work in circus are extremely creative, driven people, who often scrape by for years between gigs that pay decently. They're definitely not really in it for the money, though they do need to eat, and definitely

Eh, this strikes me as reasonable - essentially declaring const inputs, working in a functional paradigm.

Historicals are where it's at... Quality of the minis has been skyrocketing, and you can use them for a wide range of games. And it's a fraction of the price of GW.

Does it work out-of-the-box today? Execution is what matters. We can smoke a blunt and have some nice sounding ideas, but building something that works on data at scale is what actually counts.

Nah, intermittent failures are apparently enough to provide evidence that an entire class of entities is incapable of reason. So I think we've figured this one out...

I was referring to the original query, of course, as any entity capable of reasoning could have figured out.

That requires knowing the song, beyond the words provided. Would you flunk an eighth grader for getting it wrong?

Yeah... They used side rules and vast lookup tables of function values printed on dead trees. For the highest value work, they painstakingly built analog calculators. They very carefully checked their work, because it was easy to make a mis

Or, better yet, literally knocking on doors.

Here's the source. There were actual-court cases which found that oil and car manufacturers conspired to monopolize and convert local public transit to buses from rail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_

Same! I continued to be confused even on seeing the picture of the device and thinking, 'wtf, is there some steam deck console device I've never heard of?'

And there's little details like $320k settlements for wrongful imprisonment to help transition back out of prison... Harder when you're dead.

Big conferences suck in just about every area. Back when I was going to the joint math meetings (a couple few thousand math people), the dominant smell was adrenaline, as departments tried to streamline their hiring process into the confere

Sorting through twenty years of spammy email is one of those things that seem like an llm would actually be good for.

today's one of those rare days when my penchant for painting ancient greek miniatures feels like the shallow end of the nerd pool.

Well, that's wishful thinking at best... There's a lot of things that we know how to fix, but cannot. It's with thinking through why that is, and whether it's any different for a 'superintelligence.'

When market forces shit in the pool, they should expect it to get drained. Blindly trust in deregulation is itself dangerous.

Seems like a lot of grief could be avoided if the default was the secure rng... If the insecure one is faster or something, call it random.weak() or something.

That sounds.... Fine? I'm totally fine with some collateral damage in this space - the crm can surely contact out their telephony needs to someone who can actually keep up with the regulations.

People use cgi to generate the background in romcoms because it's cheaper than getting permits for location shooting. The ship is across the ocean...

Thanks for this! I've been painting a bunch of ancients miniatures lately and feeling a bit sheepish about using some blue. Good to know some additional background.

Between omnipresent cgi in movies and tv, animation, and video game physics (all of which are human-coded approximations of real physics, often intentionally distorted for various reasons), that ship has long since sailed.

Quantum supremacy was an absolutely awful name for what it was (ability to do something, anything, better than a classical computer, which remains 'supreme' on all problems of any practical interest).
