Not seeing much set back here. There are plenty of free high-quality models to put to work from Day 1.

This is a pretty weak character assassination. Maybe they should have waited for the actual facts, which in fact we still don’t know.

Regarding dismissals of LLM’s on ‘technical’ grounds: Consciousness is first a word and second a concept. And it’s a word that ChatGPT or Llama can use in an English sentence better than billions of humans worldwide. The software folks have

That’s my guess as well. The green chlorophyll is inside of the cell. It absorbs sunlight for food but reflects the green light back through the water-air boundary. Perhaps the effect on evaporation or water movement provides a better benef

It looks like this is from the primary source (IAEA) and the submission is an almost verbatim copy. However, it's a similarly short snippet. Here is another article including the illustrations copied on the blog post which has more det

Agree to disagree. Many people do not realize they should move at all when there are sirens and lights, even directly behind them. And a stationary vehicle is quite predictable. It seems highly unlikely a fleet of self driving vehicles coul

Kind of funny that it is assumed that a human-operated vehicle would be more prompt in getting out of the way. Yesterday, walking in my city I saw an ambulance stuck at an intersection for over a minute because of confused drivers and a pol

Sounds like a real-life Pokémon Snap. You should add a digital professor who gives you points based on how good your recent photos are. (Size of subject in photo, focus, in-frame, and if the animal is doing something interesting.)

Yeah, it’s unwise, but also a fair warning. If you threaten someone who has leverage over you, you might find your own problems escalated. Not everyone behaves perfectly rationally under pressure.

I’m sure it would be very fast at booting and fast at crashing as well. However, on the Android side it’s probably what’s needed to compete with Apple hardware and software.

The issue is speculative execution. Whenever there is a branch, the CPU makes a guess. If it guesses wrong, it has to go back to the correct path which introduces a delay. So any branching code has the possibility of revealing information t

I agree that this is unknown. In terms of finding the answer, I guess you’ll have to wait and see what optimistic or curious scientists, engineers, and doctors build and what they find. For ethics, how is this more dangerous than trials for
