Option 1 sounds better: I’m only out the cost of the drive, which is like $40 and doesn’t require anybody on the other side cooperate with me. - - - More broadly… You call it unlikely mixes, but we see it all the time: - people already have

You can run a small model off a home generator — so in an emergency, you’d turn on both the generator and information service, eg, a mesh for “quick” responses querying that huge collection of information. That way your machine that, eg, no

Perfectly reasonable - eg, organ transplants were experimental in humans at one point in time, following success in animals but before widespread success in humans. People died from rejections. My point is that if you feel that way, be loud

Embryos have their own DNA and constitute the full amount of that cell line — unlike your skin shedding. They are absolutely a human. To sibling comment’s point: personhood versus humanity is already the legal distinction - eg, children and

AWS already supports Llama and GLM in its Bedrock service for hosted models. They’re much cheaper to run, eg, Llama 3.3 Instruct 70B is 5-10x cheaper than Sonnet 5. https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/ Say you

Also cases where both happened, eg, Xerox wasn’t wiped out but copiers now have multiple vendors at the high end and have commodity via other brands at the low end.

How so? A quick search suggests that we tried it a bunch on animals, failed on humans, and of the first three human transplants, you had an adult (20s), toddler (2yr), and adult (50s). All of them were due to medical necessity, as it was a

They’re a human, but not a person. Human is a fact of DNA — of which embryos are unmistakably humans. But we don’t ascribe rights based on humanity, but on personhood, which is why embryos have virtually none. You come across as dishonest a

Statistical operation doesn’t preclude logical processing. We’ve know that since 1943 when McCulloch-Pitts came up with the first “artificial neuron” definition. And since LLMs are a descendant technology — our assumption should be they’re

2.45 + 2.45 = 4.9 For sufficiently large values of 2 and small values of 5, the statement holds.

$1/day forever is around $9125 using the safe drawdown rate of 4% per year. So if you’re a bakery and a customer offers $9000+ for a fresh roll every day forever, you should almost certainly take them up on that offer. A smart baker co

How so? I’m missing the irony.

I found I used fewer tokens by having many short prompts than long ones — because it spent many fewer tokens thinking and narrating.

I’m writing a JSX templating language — to manage context, branching, etc automatically. You hand it a spec/existing work and it automatically applies a recipe. So far that’s been much nicer for anything large or complex, because I was

If you do something to a person and they die after, you killed them. If you can’t admit you’re killing people you absolutely lack the ethics to compel actions for others, as in your case here. COVID vaccines and their mandates absolutely di

I believe Thailand did actively monitor some kids and found about 1 in 35 childhood COVID vaccinations.

Lots of societies who started with some killing “for the common good” ended in atrocities. The statistics on men under 25 are still horrific and suggest this was in fact the latter category: atrocity masquerading behind that euphemism.

Your bank almost certainly uses your personal information to advertise or market to you — and so seems like it would be covered by that definition.

Psychopharmacology is a great example of “doesn’t reliably work” as their products have serious and even disastrous side effects at times — including SSRIs triggering violent acts and suicides. Again, my exact point is that mathematics lose

No — people don’t successfully use things they don’t understand every day. They approximately use them with varying degrees of success, but also mistakes, broken inferences, etc. My exact point is that your view reduces our ability to do ma

That depends on who you ask. Type theory can also be an independent synthetic foundation atop which you build mathematics.

No, it doesn’t imply that. Just that the set of proofs a human can interpret and the set of statements a human can understand overlap; conversely, you require that the statements/theorems humans can understand be a larger class than th

You didn’t answer why merge it into a library focused on humans developing mathematics though. It remains all of those things, sitting alone in its own repository of 200kLOC; what benefit comes from merging it into mathlib? > There is al

No — both the person who pulls the trigger and the person who gives the order are criminals. Sony created a contract where this was possible, is who sold the product to customers, and is physically carrying out the act. They deserve every b

I was saying not just “years”, but generations (approx two, straddling a full one) have passed since the naming reflected anything real. In hindsight, I phrased that poorly.
