Satellite/drone detection of nuclear material? Shooting missiles out of the sky?

Yes! But if science is bottlenecked by funding, making it cheaper might help?

I think they're overcorrecting for being too long-winded in previous generations (and still, in some cases). I guess this is a hard balance to get right.

My reply still works when s/develop/innovate/. Companies were (and are) allowed to innovate in order to solve the blocking problems around supersonic flight. They just weren't allowed to ignore those blocking problems.

> There is no AI regulation in the US Well, there's the White House blocking models on a whim. I guess that's the closest they'll get to something resembling regulation.

The industry was allowed to develop, but not allowed to cause harm.

Yeah, we did the same thing when designing our house almost ten years ago now, using a HTC Vive running https://irisvr.com/prospect/ Just like the article says: Within a second after putting on the headset you just kno

Both parts of your comment lean on a sufficiently smart compiler to make up for recursion's natural disadvantage in maintaining locality of reference and performance. Sure, some compilers can bridge the gap in some cases (by transpilin

The prompt box on the landing page is fake. On submit, it just asks you to sign up for a mailing list. Do you honestly think that just after telling me that you lied to me earlier, I'd be inclined to give you my personal details?

Yes, and a high-level scripting language can in some specific circumstances be made to run code faster than a low-level compiled language. Generally, it's the other way around though.

Perhaps.. Mistral seems to be focussing more on LLM application rather than foundation models. Seeing that the latter may be becoming commodities, Mistral may come out ahead.

I think most movies drop a bit in IMDb score over their first few years. That might (partly) explain it. Or you just prefer older movies . :-)

And then.. you're basically trapped inside the AWS cloud (due to egress costs and db latency). No thanks!

Does anything about that strike you as particularly unfair, given the moral compass defined by Big AI?

Shrug. Hard to feel sorry for companies that created their empires by ignoring copyright themselves. Also, 'most extensive industrial espionage campaign, probably ever' is absolute nonsense. They did not need to infiltrate the com

In this context "working" means selling. If you're selling the product that means that others are on board.

Is there any evidence suggesting that Ukraine is targeting civilians? And what 'orchestrators' exactly do you think benefit from sending their soldiers through a meat grinder? Yes, Russia (not Ukraine) has done a lot of that, but

What's online about this restart? Just that the tcp port keeps listening? I assume all running transaction will have to be aborted, right? And connections dropped?

That doesn't talk about showering illegals with welfare. And yes, deportation is hard when the target countries are not cooperating.

Reliability issues occuring in the hypergrowth stage of a company's lifetime has always been pretty common, way before agents were involved in the scaling. And that was for products for which the computational load for a single client

Though your point may have some value, your comment comes across as meanspirited and ad hominem. Also, regulation is not universally supported by knowledgeable consumers. Often quite the opposite, in fact.

A rational person could argue both against EU surveillance laws and in favour of more EU digital independence.

Apparently they were given information by the US embassy that these people were an "active thread". Perhaps they could have figured out that this was bullshit sooner, but I don't think it's the police who are at fault he

You rescind an invitation by (preferably kindly) asking the people in question to leave. Not by informing the police that they are an "active threat".

You are meaningfully misquoting here ("doing their job" not "following orders", which has a different ring to it, at least for me). Also, apparently they do have brains capable of thinking because: "Eventually, th
