Exactly! Think of how an image of a car and a car in front of you may look indistinguishable in 2D -- but due to your 3D vision you know they're not the same thing (but also know the image is of a car, while not literally being a car

It's not in the title, but this is 2.5 billion gallons per year . For context, the city of London uses about 2.6 billion liters, or about 680 million gallons, per day. So that's about four days of London water usage per year, giv

I mean: imagine we double our token space to get "red" tokens ans "blue" tokens. Then in all post-training, instructions are red and data is blue. The model can be explicitly trained to ignore instructions written in b

Having lived, driven, and crossed roads in both -- what I find is essentially that drivers from poor systems pay far more attention, but the system is a lot more effective than attention. The difference here is one of stability: in a deve

What I'd say you're pointing out is that the word "system" is overloaded. A vision system does allow you to pay less attention: you don't need to carefully remember how far away the door is, you just need to look!

Land value tax?

Wait... yes they do. If I raise the price of my product, less people will buy it but I'll make more profit per-unit -- so the amount of money I make is an inverted U with price on the x axis and money on the y axis, and I should set th

One of the best things about it IMO -- or we'd be spending the next hundred years waiting for copyright reform

No, that's actually UB. The important bit here is "compiler defined" -- UB means the compiler is allowed to assume it never happens while compiling. Consider, for example, an implementation defined function f() -- which can a

I mean... if it's got a similar amount of toxin X to drinking water... then it's probably not making things much worse. There is lead in dirt!

You know... janitorial work really is an excellent example: - Some labor is easy both to offshore and to automate -- e.g. factory work - Some labor can be offshored a lot more easily than it can be automated -- this causes at least a practi

Sure, but there's a lot of random matter on Earth -- excess trash being an issue is less about space and more about externalities (e.g. toxic chemicals leaching). Being mindful of how much trash we produce does not necessitate produc

So how did we deal with the human mistakes? You mentioned it: - Get humans to check each other's work - Systematize the process -- breaking it down into smaller and smaller tasks where the likelihood of mistakes decreases - Replace as

Nope -- those are artisanal, hand-written tokens. I suppose a slopatron could have said that just as well though. I agree with the UNIX philosophy bit, mind you -- modern browsers don't do that and that is bad . But you should be ab

I mean... you can use an encryption scheme compatible with this (if you know the password). I suppose this makes some sense for home computers (burglars and police raids are rare) but for a laptop, you really don't want thieves getti

So I need to actually check whether these actually end up on separate vectors in current models -- but as a human, there's a huge behavioural difference in: - When doing this task, I should do A and not B - I should refuse to help with

Is it? My issue with this type of thinking is it assumes "transport cost <<< manufacturing cost" -- a decent assumption for a lot of goods throughout a lot of history, but just... not really true for lots of things in a

So... I think scripting is actually really important -- otherwise not only are you stuck with the lowest common denominator of all browsers, but the browsers need to implement a billion bug-prone views -- that map view link mentioned? N

To be fair -- IP is a regulation (it is not, in fact, natural to be able to prevent someone copying data on their own hard drive) -- so one could imagine variants of a free market which are less regulated and yet more (or less) friendly

Wait... why? Making an unreliable, nondeterministic system give reliable results for a bounded task with well-understood parameters is... like half of engineering, no? There's a huge difference between "generate this code here&#x2
