The consumer economy only exists to extract value from common people and funnel it up the wealth ladder. If robots and AI take over all the production, you don’t need a consumer economy, the robots produce and their output directly goes to

This is a useful lesson! Tuning an allocator for a single application reduces to optimizing for that application’s empirical allocation patterns (sizes, lifetimes, access, usage).

I’m not exactly sure what you’re getting at, but I think I’ve had a similar question: why don’t HDLs have language elements more representative of what digital circuits are constructed from, namely synchronous and asynchronous circuits, rat

Maybe, another possibility is the frontier providers change their pricing terms to try to capture more of the value once a sufficient number of people’s skills have atrophied. For example: 20% of the revenue of all products built with $AI_S

Insiders bring information to a market. Intelligent analysis and prediction also does, but obviously insiders have special information they are incentivized to bring to the market. Most people placing these bets are simply gambling, insider

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of why index funds are effective. Being over invested into U.S. equities is a risk if you hold outsized U.S. index funds (esp. if you have a large allocation in the S&P500, you do not own the marke

Where did I say that? It’s ultimately up to a jury to decide whether lethal force was justified. Obstruct and provoke law enforcement at your own peril.

“Not listening” is really an incredible framing for trying to flee being detained for obstruction, and in the process hitting and nearly running over a federal agent in your SUV.

This will remain the case until we have another transformer-level leap in ML technology. I don’t expect such an advancement to be openly published when it is discovered.

There is a fan project that has revived the servers. It’s hard to get full matches but can still be played at least. It’s called BLRevive, there’s a Discord for it. IMO the only bad thing is it’s based on the post-PS4 update where the devs

I.e. disassociating from those people? Isn’t that what homeschooling does inherently? It’s more likely that kids will pick up bad behaviors than they will learn to “deal with” those kinds of people.

I doubt they have offline access to the model, i.e. the prompts are sent to the model provider.

Depends on the distribution of accidents and the distribution of costs. If P(ddos) * Cost(ddos) < P(no ddos) * P(cloudflare outage) * Cost(cloudflare outage) then you would be better off not using Cloudflare. This is not considering othe

You can create macro functions per generic function so something like Vector_New(int)(&v) expands to Vector_New_int(&v). It also looks less foreign (more like templates) than the G macro.

It’s not intentionally ineffectively enforced to enable big businesses to exploit illegal cheap labor under the threat of deportation. Entrenched interests, lobbyists, and big money have much more influence on immigration policy than who is

This is ridiculous. The real explanation is a level of uncaring incompetence that can only be sustained in large organizations.

Government backed loans inflate demand. If banks had to consider the risk of repayment prices would come back to reality.

Lowering standards is why a high school diploma is nearly worthless, it wasn’t always the case. If you can graduate with a high school diploma while still being illiterate, innumerate, etc. it is a signal with no entropy.

When graduating is essentially just aging out, it isn’t really graduating

What about pipelining? Something that has clear serial dependencies could still be pipelined to execute separate (but dependent at work boundaries) units of work in parallel.

The real equivalent is something like Stockfish, AlphaZero, etc. that performs at superhuman level across _all_ domains. It is something that beats any human at any competitive activity. Arguably, super human intelligence exists already in

The drop in ChatGPT usage once summer started was similarly indicative of what is driving growth.

Yeah, I’m not sure I see the problem (other than that threads are more expensive than e.g. file descriptors, but this is a moot point without a better API). You define how many requests in flight you want to allow and that sets the cap on h

Instruction decode for variable length ISAs is inherently going to be more complex, and thus require more transistors = more power, than fixed length instruction decode, especially parallel decode. AFAIK modern x86 cores have to speculative
