I am skeptical of this as well but slot machines are programmable and the house can change the odds.

Plenty of people support Flock or at least its mission. They're just not vocal because the opposition is vociferous. Like most things the country is fairly divided. This poll has it 46% opposed and 38% support: https://te

The US does not have a shortage of deer. Mostly the opposite as their natural predators have been drastically reduced in numbers.

Speed of construction is also not the same as efficiency.

But MAD means you can't use them. It might save you from an all out killbot invasion but it doesn't stop asymmetric warfare or being cutoff from the rest of the world.

I don't think this adds up. The AGI blocks will have AGI kill bots and those that don't won't have a choice about what they will or will not allow.

They didn't want his name removed from any paper. The invitation was to write a new joint paper between Buckmaster and OpenAI. An invitation Alpoge couldn't accept and OpenAI wouldn't make since he worked for a competitor.

This doesn't really make sense. You don't need massive amounts of computing to plagiarize something. The most nefarious explanation seems to be that they got wind it was possible to solve NS via LLMs and perhaps a small nudge in

This seems unsupported. OpenAI has access to internal models that the general public doesn't have and a compute budget that dwarfs what an NYU professor would have.

My perpetual reminder that this "healthy America" never existed. As far as generations go Millennials have it easier than the Vietnam, WWII, and WWI/Great Depression generations.

It absolutely has for me. Hours/days out of a month of smashing my head against silly bugs or SQL syntax errors have gone away. I will agree that some of the savings has been eaten up elsewhere. Lots of trivial but not wrong PR comme

Looks like it's still allowed in app. Probably a way to cut down spam and push people to the app.

Think it's more like the worst thing that can happen to a Roman army unit happened to us.

Housework is the obvious use case.

It feels like it's getting better at that too. It will push back against obvious nonsense a lot stronger. But you are right that it holds opinions quite a bit less strenuously than humans.

This is a tell of LLMs but it's not universal. I use ChatGPT extensively and I don't often get obvious nonsense any more. I'd figure out that it's an LLM because it's effectively superhuman. Taking that away I&#x2

I'm responding to the idea that police in the absence of flock is totally fine.

I don't know. Since the advent of cameras we've caught a lot of cops beating the hell out of citizens. It probably happened a lot more before cameras. And then you'd catch a charge for resisting instead of the payout today

Practical experience is that people cycle through ADHD and depression meds. I agree that it's hard to tell what that means because we don't generally do long term double blind placebo studies.

For me, historically drugs like this for ADHD or depression or gastric bypass or whatever tend to lose effectiveness over time as the body adjusts. Not for everyone but for enough where you've got a short term gain that ultimately com

Definitely one of the most unexpected bits of WFH is to show up to an onsite and find out your coworker is 6'5".

Sure there's some pressure but as you note it comes from the communities that couldn't stop their school from being closed. So ultimately it's a lot of noise that doesn't lead to much action.

The other half of this is that with declining enrollment city school districts are finding themselves with a lot of land. They don't feel any pressure to sell the land. Nor do they feel any pressure to use it for other government ser

This seems like what triggers are for and how we do similar type things. Update trigger on order does select for update on the inventory and increases/decreases it as appropriate. I don't think you really need that even. An inde

I don't think the amount of notice is as important as "this totally is for sure going to wreck you" is. We generally know something is going to hit somewhere at sometime. Which isn't specific enough for everyone to act

I would suggest that if every practical example contradicts your logic it is your logic that is wrong.

As someone who lives in Atlanta I can't imagine any way it's the second most livable city in the country.

It's because living in downtown Vancouver is expensive. Your rent probably comes close to covering the mortgage on one of those huge empty houses in the suburbs. That fresh baked good is probably ~$4 while the equivalent at Walmart is
