There’s been some interesting research recently showing that it’s often fairly easy to invert an LLM’s value system by getting it to backflip on just one aspect. I wonder if something like that happened here?

At this point isn’t the marginal cost based on power consumption? At 30c/kWh and with a beefy desktop pc pulling up to half a kW, that’s 15c/hr. For true zero marginal cost, maybe get solar panels. :P

Yeah, I read this as "fortunately it didn't land on anyone and didn't damage any valuable property." (Value judgements about gardens aside...)

If they have the skills to verify the Excel model then they can apply the same approach to the numbers produced by the AI-generated model, even if they can’t inspect it directly. In my experience a lot of Excel models aren’t really tested,

It’s gotten so bad that I’m half convinced it’s either (a) deliberately trolling, or (b) ‘optimising’ for speech to text adoption.

Haha same! I had Klik and Play, and The Games Factory. I spent ages trying to implement side scrolling in KnP. The crazy complicated action grids for the TGF example games with all their hidden objects to implement game mechanics helped con

Didn’t they say the initial issue was some compatibility issue with the base station they were working with? Although throughout the article it sounds like they had a ton of software problems and maybe the spacecraft wasn’t quite as baked a

All phones have a removable battery. Modern phones just make it hard to use the phone again afterwards. :P

I’d imagine you could have a grid of conductors which can be temporarily connected together (by a grid of transistors somehow?) forming a cage when connected. You’d only need this mechanism on the back of the case - note that a phone can st

Wouldn’t gold be spiking in proportion to the market’s predicted future value of the dollar, rather than its current value? If the market’s paying attention you’d expect its gold valuation to lead the actual inflation numbers.

I’ve said for years that pragmatically, our definition of a “person” is an entity that can accept liability and take blame.

I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor and it’s so sensitive to EMFs, it’ll blink off for a moment when I take my jumper off.

“The car won’t start after I buy ice cream” The old classic, I think it turned out that in hot weather the fuel line vapour locked a few minutes after turning off, and the ice cream was at the back of the store, and took just long enough to

That’s interesting, the cloudflare screening whatever it is thinks my phone’s a bot. Safari on an iPhone 11 with Firefox installed as an ad blocker.

Have you tried turning your sense of self off and on again?

It’s not an invasion, it’s just a “special operation”!

Wow, that’s really interesting! It seems like alpha waves are the ‘tick rate’ of this system, and some set number of ticks are required to update the body model?

> "What's next"? Not an experiment. I think what’s next after an experiment very often is another experiment, especially when you’re doing this kind of exploratory R&D.

I wondered the same thing but after trying a few oem attempts, there’s definitely huge room for improvement. Lane following isn’t very ‘smart’ and doesn’t take context into account (ie. changing position in the lane based on clearance from
