It's mostly just annoying (for now). If you travel a lot it can amount to a couple hours extra per trip if you're unlucky. But the bad part is that it's extrajudicial punishment/retaliation for protected speech. She hasn

Me and my wife made something very similar ( https://nativi.sh/ ). I find it's a really good use case for LLMs to actually help you learn rather than doing everything for you. Also, not sure if you're getting hugged

It was a big miss calling them "prompt engineers" and not robopsychologists.

I wonder if lunar space elevators might be the fix here. If I understand correctly, such an elevator would not be as subject to the perturbations since the tension would keep it's orbit stable (is it still an orbit if it's tethere

What if we make it accomplish 20% less but spend 10% more money?

Thanks for the clarification. I expected it worked like that but couldn't find it spelled out after a brief perusal of the docs.

I have file A that's in two places and I run this. I modify A_0. Does this modify A_1 as well or just kind of reify the new state of A_0 while leaving A_1 untouched?

I was mostly just joking about him going off and running for Ohio governor. It does give "send the defeated noble to the frontier" vibes.

As far as I know there's not really LLMs good enough that can run locally. Maybe with the R1 improvements and future derivative work that'll change. We use about 4-6 calls per improvement and use a mix of Anthropic and OpenAI. Int

Treat your LLM input like it's user input and don't execute SQL directly from a LLM output.

So all the batteries are on the belly and a door opens up in flight when they get heavy and they get yeeted? Now you need to have sensors and actuators and inspections on all these doors. The cost of the plane just meaningfully increased. M

I imagine the extra complexity, parachute and release system weight, and risk would nix that.

Interesting. So if it was used for aviation then your takeoff weight would be lower than your landing weight. That'll be counterintuitive.

A 30mm round plowing through someone’s living room because some bath water IQ nitwit thought they saw an alien is not a valid use of government resources. Even if they’re from Jersey.
