Most self-employed people in Germany operate as "Kleinunternehmer" and therefore lack the liability protections provided by the LLC equivalent discussed in the article. It's apples to oranges.

That's not too far off from the average EFFR for that time period.

No it is not "super accurate" it's a dramatic fictionalization designed to get you emotionally hooked into the book and convey the author's message. It's indistinguishable from propaganda.

KSR is a good prose writer but I found The Ministry of the Future to be full of extremely unconvincing scenarios and I don't think you should let it inform your worldview. It's just a story written by someone who does not really k

Or: they have correctly identified that environmental harms from a small amount of fissile material in the ocean are so negligible it rounds to zero. Compared to the very real harms caused by oil leaking from existing cargo ships this would

Quite curious what research chemicals you've used against chronic fatigue (I thankfully don't have it or need medication)

By "worst areas" I mean "areas badly affected by this problem" which is a decent % of the city.

It's obviously biased because he goes to the worst areas and he only interviews "interesting" people. But it's pretty obvious he's not cherrypicking from weeks of footage across the whole city. It's really very

I've been using this as a daily driver on iOS for about a month now and it's been great. A few random teething issues but no crashes or real bugs. Supports extensions well.

> The first sentence is as reductive, and by extension the third as false, as saying that a computer can only do logical comparisons on 1s and 0s. Please, provide any example to prove me wrong.

But LLMs only have the capability to statistically associate strings of words. That's all they are. There is no other capability possible there. And you admit that they cannot be expected to keep secrets. So what is the point of trying

Hence training an LLM to keep secrets (your apparent practical definition of safety) is as much of an existential risk as not doing it at all? Your position makes no sense, and your arguments are all based on basically false data.

by tticvs 3y ago
Do you not see the massive contradiction in your view that "we should build a world where secrecy doesn't matter" and "we need to make sure that LLMs keep secrets?"

This is completely untrue re: software. All but the most rudimentary software written by chatgpt is riddled with bugs and inconsistencies so it's mostly useless to someone who doesn't know what they're doing to verify it is c

we are not talking about spellbooks sitting around that you can read and destroy the world. Acquiring the basic information is literally the easiest part of deploying any weapon. If anything LLMs make it more safe since they're liable

You are spreading dangerous misinformation about LLMs. They cannot reliably generalize outside of their training data ergo if they are able to give detailed enough information to bootstrap a bioweapons this information is already publicly a

Your comment implies that having homeless fentanyl and meth addicts does not cause actual harm to the rest of society, only the perception of harm. This is demonstrably false. You also suggest they should be "given more support" w

This is a pretty interesting article but the conclusion is literally insane: > For all these reasons, rather than keeping weapons out of the sustainability discussion – they should be our focus. If we cannot imagine low-tech warfare, we

This logic doesn't hold in the case where you would not pay anything for the product. For example bypassing a NYT paywall with archive.is doesn't deprive the NYT of any income since I would never subscribe to their paper or pay th

Under this legal argument wouldn't youtube just need to add the equivalent of a cookie popup to gain consent? Or switch to a serverside approach?

Adopting Christianity as the official company religion would also "appease someone". Why would that be so hard for you? It's just words after all.

If you try to bend over backwards to appease the whims of every group of people you'll never accomplish anything. A good engineer realizes this, and prioritizes accordingly. It's a core competency of the job. Not pushing back on m
