Thinking of files as “forbidden numbers” is too abstract a perspective to be useful. What’s in the file and how it will be interpreted matters. A file might contain malware, child porn, or RNA sequences for viruses.

Yes, I remember. But I don’t we should conclude that no program should ever be regulated.
273.
by skybrian 3mo ago
Regulation is not a blanket ban. Regulators (presumably government agencies) can review models (of any kind) and approve or ask for changes. There are many other regulated industries, like drugs (the FDA), cars (NHTSA and EPA), airplanes an

Not sure what you mean, but to expand on what I wrote, JSR rewrites the import statements to include file extensions and full version numbers for package dependencies, so that the imports can be resolved without looking for them in multiple

It’s unclear whether ISBNdb will scan books without ISBN’s, which were invented in the late 1960’s. Customers appear to be ordering books to be scanned by ISBN? Here is one book seller’s experience: > Bulk purchases also usually reflect

I would use it for a focused command-line tool that needs to share code with a larger TypeScript project, not for code with a lot of dependencies.

When publishing on jsr.io, you upload the TypeScript, and if using Deno, you also download TypeScript (with import statements rewritten.) Having nearly the original source code is better for debugging. Deno doesn’t type-check external depen

You don't want people to have to rerun the prompt though. Collaborating on a registry for proven results makes sense. This probably looks like contributing Lean code to an open source project and writing docs.

Not every breach of contract is fraud, but signing a contract when you never intended to fulfill your side of the bargain is. For example, if someone signs a contract with a seller, pays them, and the seller disappears, they were defrauded.

Yes, and I'm reminded of Bitcoin miners relocating for subsidized electricity or even stealing it outright.

I think the source of confusion is that the "response delay divisor" isn't a delay at all. This parameter is the inverse of amplification. If you dampen a signal more then it will oscillate less.

Reality increasingly has a science fiction problem too. Drone warfare and the HuggingFace attack come to mind.

Any online writing that you'd recommend?

I think this is just arguing over definitions? I would accept "role-playing" being used this way because machines can fill roles and it doesn't seem wrong to call the behavior of NPC's in a video game role-playing. Also,

This didn't happen for me, apparently because I already had "Show Gemini in Chrome in Mac menu bar and turn on keyboard shortcut" disabled.

Is Linux really about "profit before all else?" That seems like a moral judgement that many would disagree with.

I think that’s indicating that it’s only slightly higher.

Is it supposed to be marketing or a coverup? Make up your mind. What sort of announcements should they have made?

Seems like this is repeating the usual low-effort speculation you can find anywhere.

Looks like the API price in tokens is same as previous Opus or Sol, double the price of Terra. Maybe there’s a better comparison than cost per token, but it will be application-specific.

Yeah, everyone is saying that but I don't find the irony very interesting.

It seems like caching the relevant portion of PyPI in advance and turning the network off shouldn't be beyond what OpenAI can do?

Does distilling actually violate any IP protection laws? Sure, it’s against their terms of service.

This seems like patient capital that can wait out a downturn? Unlike a bank where the depositors could flee.

I suppose there is some limit, but it’s a bit hard to believe that Google won’t find a good use for more data centers.

In first-order logic, it's an infinite axiom schema , which means you can take a finite subset of them, like assuming induction axioms hold for the formulas you're actually using and not in any other case.

Knowing that a premise will stay true in the future and knowing that it will become false in the future are both knowing something about the future. Compare with knowing whether a program will terminate.

I tried out the speaker view now that I'm on my laptop, and that would be great for someone actually giving a presentation, but since I'm just viewing it, it's not quite what I want. (For one thing, the animations don't
