Negative income tax is an alternative to UBI, but it's discussed less often. Does anyone know why? I feel it should be easier to implement (plugs right into the existing tax system), should be cheaper (the more you earn, the less you g

Ironic. Every time a company measures its employee output with number of lines of code or commits, devs are the first to point out that management is dumb for using a surface-level metric. But you're doing the same thing here, except w

What's stopping someone from placing the silicon under ab electron microscope and reading the data visually? I mean, the circuit that encrypts data has to have some way to load the key (the circuit might not be in the CPU, but it exis

That's concerning. Could you elaborate on how you identified the traffic as cloudflare workers? Also, what sorts of HTTP attacks? wp-admin probes? Plain DDoS? Cloudflare has (had?) a murky history with not taking down DDoS for hire ser

While OP's reply answers your question, it's important to not apply current costs to predict the future of AI. Hardware for LLMs is one step function away from unimaginable capabilities. That breakthrough could be in performance,

Why is everyone so confused about this? Isn't verifying the easy part? You put it into the GPT-3.5/4 API as a system prompt and see it answers like the actual chatbot. If it does, you've either extracted the actual prompt (co

It's far easier to do productive, useful things with AI if you just treat it as a tool, like a chainsaw or a pulley. Everyone agrees there's a lot of hype right now but no one thinks _they're_ a part of it. You know why? It&#

Sure! https://pastebin.com/xm7D1c30 I didn't bother cleaning it so it's just a code dump, but it's fairly straightforward. Not included are a Python script to parse and clean the raw documents into JSON files

Unless you have several hundred million documents, just write a simple encoder that serializes the embedding vectors to a flat binary file. Writing code from scratch to process and search 200k unstructured documents -- parsing, cleaning, ch

You could apply the same logic to anyone ringing the alarm bells about climate change (or alarm bells in general). Just because snake oil is usually unfalsifiable doesn't mean everything _currently_ unfalsified is snake oil.

No, water is most dense at 4°C. If you take water at 2°C and increase its temperature by a degree, it will _compress_, not expand. But if you take water at 10°C and heat it by a degree it will expand. My question is what percentage of the e

I have two related questions: 1. Global temperature is rising. Any water that used to be above 4°C (or the equivalent for salt water) now takes more volume. But what about water that's below 4°C? Wouldn't that water compress? What

Storing (UTC, latitude, longitude, altitude) is the holy grail, I guess. Everything else is too leaky. I mean, that's literally the four dimensions of space-time.

When it comes to how sluggish a system feels due to its disk, it's much more useful to measure the read latency and throughput of random reads because that's what the system is doing: you read a lot of sectors randomly when you bo

Reddit search is somehow worse than a simple `WHERE markdown LIKE '%query%' ORDER BY upvotes DESC` so you can understand where that sentiment comes from.
