> It means they're a whole lot less likely to run out of money, which makes them a safer bet as a dependency. I don't think this logically follows. That is, yes being acquired makes one less likely to run out of money, but does

So do you listen to lots of AI-generated music? There's plenty of it nowadays (you can even create your own with just a prompt).

The term doesn't change its meaning because something new comes along. The point of the term "large" is to highlight the massive parameter count (compared to traditional statistical models, where having 1.5 billion parameters

OpenAI themselves must not have a "reasonable definition of L", then. Their own papers and press releases refer to GPT-2 (from 2019) as a "large language model". https://openai.com/index/better-langu

I would imagine it's the opposite. Most dev's machines can't query the prod database, for example, whereas a prod server can.

Well, data centers catch fire all the time. And it stands to reason that an infinite loop could increase power draw and trigger a fire. Though that still wouldn't really be the machine itself catching fire, but the building and/or

I had the same thought. I suspect this lawsuit will be dropped once they notice. Probably if the appmaker donates to the Trump foundation it will be withdrawn within the day.

There's no legal way to reach a chess position where a king is in check or checkmate and it's not the king's turn to move.

You're being needlessly dismissive. From a philosophical perspective, there's no way to know that any piece of software is truly correct without formal verification. But in the present, non-philosophical context, it's obvio

"can" can be a synonym for "might" / "may" (purists would argue that it can't, but common usage trumps purism) Also, I will point out that, even from the perspective of formal logic, the original stat

GameStop is a zombie company. As a retailer, they have been floundering for years and still are. But as a corporation, they are sitting on a lot of cash and zero debt, from the early-pandemic period they went through as an overvalued meme s

Is there a reliable way to pan around? Middle click + drag doesn't pan if my screen is covered by an object, it just moves the object itself. Scrollwheel pans up and down but I can't figure out how to go left and right. The minima

You seem to be interpreting "please be careful when..." as "don't". I'm not sure how that interpretation makes any sense. Obviously they just mean, first kill the service (or better yet, shutdown the machine en

To use your analogy - there's a big difference between the streets of New York and the streets of Boston. In New York if you know you're on 96th and 3rd, then you automatically know how to get to 101st and 5th - it's just a g

Forget all the fancy fingerprinting - sites that really care about blocking bots will detect that, in the first place, you are running a browser in debug mode. Does this tool prevent that?

Mac, yes. But I feel like being a "PC user" was never a coherent social identity. People use PCs for various reasons, usually pragmatic. (Reflecting on it, I don't think I ever knew anyone who was "loyal" to Microso

That's interesting. Where I live, the thing that sticks out in my mind the most about buying Kirkland bacon from Costco, is how ridiculously thick-cut it is. It's literally the thickest bacon I've ever encountered lol
