A simulation to what purpose ? What's the difference between a simulation and reality ? What is more "real" about the original hardware than about us ? It doesn't make obvious sense to waste such vast amount of energy fo

"all it takes", already impossible with any LLM right now.

All my Indian colleagues say "I agree with the same", this "the same" turn of phrase was so strange to me I had to ask (I'm French, so I have my own silly quirks, like I forget non-vocal plural(s<-- see, often I

I know this word, it's French and it means coastline, coastal, something at the edge of the land and sea ! We use it in French a lot to describe positively a long coastline. I'm surprised it's used in an English context, but

You forget one side of the equation: yes money is "printed" with abandon, but the other side gets an IOU, a debt, to repay with dividend. The government BORROWS printed money, the FED emits debt against that money, and the hole ke

Who is AMD ? A collection of shareholders, all 30% richer ? A collection of employees, all with stock vesting 30% richer ? A bank account in a corporate bank, that indeed changed not at all ?

Sentiments about what ? What is "actual future" ? Obviously we can only have feelings for it, not knowledge, right ?

I don't know, when "westerners", aka the Spanish, colonized the Americas, they would arrive in a village where almost everyone was already dead of the flu before they even started a fight. It seems more violent a colonization

It is fragile because it does not matter - a better lie will obfuscate it quickly. Let's imagine a simple truth: vaccines are efficient, work well, are tested seriously, produced immense good for humanity for at least a hundred years.

Yup, these things are all a bit obvious, ofc the truth "is what it is", not very sure why that sentence is so special and probably why it had to be wrongly assigned to an old hero rather than to the random guy who actually produce

Well it's not the same game. Here in China we're in this phase of accomplishing big stuff to help each other and flex a bit and wow at our own development. When the British colonized America, it was exactly the same - an insane ac

Im in a large company, sometimes we have long incident meetings running for hours and new idiots join in the middle "what happened?". Now at least we can get summaries of the past hours during the meeting to catch up without bothe

I've been once threatened by an ex-gf with a knife, telling me she was gonna kill me. You know what I felt ? A mild worry, "come on, drop that, it's not worth it". She threw it across the kitchen and cried in my arms (di

Sometimes "victims" have been looking for some consequences for quite a while. Poke a bear long enough to be hurt, don't be surprised people blame you, "the victim".

We completely understand the inner workings and can see the emerging result, but it's hard for us to accept that it took no decision and just chose a nice word to complete a sentence, time after time, and sounds intelligent. Then it sa

On one hand I cant wait for this fad to end, on the other hand, I cant imagine how bad the next one will be. I almost miss my middle managers running around with stupid blockchain ideas.

You only worked on very small codebase then. When you work on giant ones, you Ctrl+F a lot, build a limited model of the problem space, and pray the unit tests will catch anything you might have missed...

Because we really could use all that time, money and uranium to train them on complex problems we need to solve, rather than entertainment. But you're right, shareholders of OpenAI want profit, not progress, and they'll give us ou

because it is a stupid auto complete, it doesn't understand negation fully, it statistically judge the weight of your words to find the next one, and the next one and the next one. That's not how YOU work, so it makes no sense, yo

But those warm body that speak English, they offer a service by being warm, and able to sort of be attuned to the distress you feel. A frigging robot solving your unsolvable problem ? You can try, but witness the backlash.

Rum is a social lubricant and it is healthy to be relaxed in social settings... quite frankly as long as they dont say health benefit increase proportionally with consumption, I see no problem saying alcohol is healthy. Or, like, why is it
