It's hard to find specific surveys covering exactly that, but given the widespread belief among US adults that we are living in the end-times and beliefs in being raptured, 25% if anything seems low: "About four-in-ten U.S. adults

I'm born in Norway in 1975, and in the early 80's, while we didn't have "duck and cover" we had regular air-raid siren tests and my primary schools basement was a bomb shelter that doubled as an activity space. The

Reading Philip K. Dick's short stories in publication order is also quite something in that respect. It was so pervasive in his early stories.

I much prefer the taste of farmed salmon. It's not just cost.

Even if that turns out to be true, rather than it starting to hit a ceiling where we can expect it to not consistently go in a single direction it does not alter anything I wrote, which addressed a comparison between 1956 and 2026. The clai

It's also a first time decline afterany decades of steady increases. We have no basis for determining causality - it might just be that we've finally maxed out the possible gains from the causes underlying the Flynn effect.

Look up the Flynn effect. You're right in the first paragraph, but wrong about the direction.

No, in the experiment in question, the experimenters made the choice, and claimed to the brain half that couldn't observe that the one that could made the choice. That is how we know the rationale wasn't the result of informatio

Probably not, because now you'll have all of the people who are worried about this ensuring their AI generated text never ever uses em-dashes, and then that will be the new tell. Or we can just be more concerned with whether somethin

You can get powder and a digital scale, and there are relatively low caffeine pills. Alternatively, things like dark chocolate might be easier to cut to small doses.

Exactly. Very little of what we do is "explicit thinking", because it's slow to have to develop and verbalise those arguments step by step. Most of it is "hunches" that we then retroactively justify if asked, and th

There is explicit reasoning where we externalise steps, but it is slow and cumbersome. The point is that when we make a decision without externalising each step, and then afterward explain why and how we made that decision, there is no evid

We know that human introspection is at best imperfect, and at worst outright fiction, thanks to Sperry's split brain experiments, so while it might be interesting, if the chain of reasoning isn't indicative, that would be in l

No. Prefix caching is just an optimisation on the server side. What Kimi CLI does is insert <system> tags that include a checkpoint marker with an id. The model is then given a tool that allows the model to decide to roll back to a

Kimi CLI has a mechanism with checkpoints and the ability for the agent to revert to a checkpoint + a message of how to continue based on what went right/wrong. I don't know if that's the cause of what you've seen, but i

I suspect that it, like the "sinus" mentioned elsewhere, may well be a result of the scene (at least at the start) being dominated by people natively speaking Northern European Germanic languages. I started learning English about

I mostly just wrote mine by hand unless I needed something complex. E.g. just halving the y delta until 1, then doubling the x delta for however long, then the reverse.

Can confirm it's sinus in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, French.

As should be clear from the screenshots, in the 80's and 90's we were entirely unable to perform without gradients everywhere . Even my school notebooks where full of pencil- and pen-drawn logos full of gradients. At least one su

Fine timing takes time and data, though. If smart enough models get cheap enough, then most people have lots of use cases that are cost insensitive enough that it's not worth the effort. Of course, "smart enough" is a low eno

As far as I can tell, license fees are only applicable if you have more than 20m USD/year revenue from services provided using the model, or serve more than 100m users.

UK mobile operators already defaulted to blocking adult sites before OSA, and lets the subscriber turn it off, which seems like a reasonable option. It'd be even better if there was a way for people to selectively turn it off for speci

I have programmed since I was 5, so 46 years now. I have no problem doing it, and still do. I however wouldn't waste my time only coding by hand when an LLM can do it far faster.

No more than when they are up, no. Why would I? I can produce far more by having tasks running in the background while I do other work.
