Isn't it more accurate to say we went from wolves to dogs? Dogs are not a group of species. The domesticated dog is a species. Also canines seem to hybridize well, suggesting they aren't truly differentiated anyways.

Aren't the advertised prices just a number now? When OpenAI or some other big player comes to buy months worth of production capacity, they aren't doing it at a publicly advertised price.

I believe efforts like this were funded by HP. It is why the Itanium was kept around for so long despite being dead on arrival.

What I find interesting is that having lived in the southeast US for decades now, there is never any shortage of a story where someone buys a house near a race track. Not long after that, they complain that the race track is loud for severa

Why would we? More importantly, why would anyone go to orbit period when you can do it with a robot.

sure seems like this could just as easily be used to perform on-orbit disassembly of a hostile nation's satellite?

breaking DRM is so easy my generation was doing it as kids, there is no technical obstacle there.

so if I base64 encode my blog, have some Javascript that 'validates' an authorized viewer and then decodes the base64 into HTML which is added to the DOM does that constitute DRM ?

This argument doesn't make any sense. All manner of AI companies just ingest whatever random text they can find on the internet to train their data, including copyrighted publications. Why would DRM on a digital copy of a book matter?

The question you should be asking is: why would Microsoft not do this?

As a longtime amateur radio operator, Vara is encumbered by numerous intellectual property aspects. There also doesn't exist a publicly available description that is comprehensive. It's a good commercial product, but I've nev

isn't Ferrari the brand that requires any purchaser to be an existing owner? I could see NVIDIA going for something like that.

The part about sibling marriage is just so weird to read nowadays. When did humanity first figure out that inbreeding might be a bad idea?

I think I've seen the opposite end of this as well: I get the most value from any LLM when I ask it one very targeted question with a followup. I don't fall outside of any sort of context window sizing when I am doing that. That i

I guess for me, the question is how do you define each degree? If I say something like "Gemini, make the colors pop in my photos!" is that OK?

I hope they don't figure out virtually all housing is photographed with those weird lenses and the colors are enhanced digitally

I'm pretty sure if they stopped skirting the laws, it'd eliminate a decent cohort of their customer base. Watching someone come through a pedestrian area at 45 mph on a "bicycle" that clearly is an electric motorcycle is

I'm seeing a business opportunity for a gambling site where it is extremely cheap to play, but the payout is always 0 dollars.

This is one of the things I ran into early on. LLM needs to compute the determinant of a matrix? Sure, just spit out some huge hyper optimized implementation of it. Good luck maintaining that. Slapping "use industry standard open sourc

I've seen studies like this before. They'll suggest that as little as 15 minutes of exercise significantly improves health in some group they studied. My initial assumption was they added 15 minutes of additional exercise. No, the
