It doesn't seem to account for earthquakes, which is appropriate, since it's a climate vulnerability index. But definitely something one would take into account when deciding where to settle.

Does anyone have any understanding of how they do this? My knowledge of how these models work is basically that they are a black box that you put text into and get text out of. I don't phrase it this way to diminish their capability, b

The opposite of modesty is not "buying a Ferrari". Anyone at any level of wealth can be immodest. Not saying I agree with GP, but your point doesn't hold up.

You said: > For all you know, 90% of the proof could be useless, 8% would be writing out Shakespeare, and 1% abusing another bug in Lean. So you were implying the possibility of there not actually being a proof at all. Anyway, I disagree

Tao is saying that there is very little insight from something like an LLM counterexample (e.g. Jacobian conjecture counterexample he investigated further on his blog) - you don't learn much about the subject and _why_ a conjecture was

No, condescending people call them "aspiring". Anyone who knows and likes art calls them artists.

To the credit of the original commenter, that is why they said "give it one or two years". _Right now_ we need the experts to formalize/check. They're saying they think LLMs will reach a point in the near future where th

It doesn't mean preposterous or not preposterous. It does mean there is general dispute regarding the proscription. Appealing to it is not really progressing your argument. Both decisions are controversial, you don't make a more c

You're appealing to another proscription decision that is extraordinarily controversial.

Generational wealth generally is used to mean something like you and at least your children can live very comfortably off of investment income for the rest of your lives, I.e. none of you have to work for a living. That’s why sibling’s def

1 mil is not generational wealth in the US. It is a big chunk of money, no doubt. It’ll buy a reasonable 2-3 bedroom house in the city I live in, with nothing left over. No one’s definition of generational wealth involves not touching the m

Farage won an election in which no other major party participated. The standards committee doesn't make decisions based on what they think is best. They make decisions based on the rules.

This is a story about non-compliance. One hopes the Aus government is going to take some sort of enforcement action. If _that_ fails, then you could claim limited success or failure. Presumably you wouldn't call laws against murder a f

Right, I meant the libraries. I haven't used Gleam for a couple years at least though, so my opinions might be very outdated on this.

You're taking my comment way too literally. I'm basically just making a syntax comparison. Obviously Rust is not at all like Gleam in many ways either. It's just statically typed and has a similar syntax.

Do you like Rust or do you like Erlang? Writing Gleam is like writing Rust, writing Elixir is like writing Erlang. I don't know the current state of Gleam OTP, but last I checked it wasn't great. If you don't care about eithe

"Well ventilated" on its own is completely insufficient. If you are soldering without any fan or extraction, you _will_ inhale fumes because you have to look right over your work when you solder, which is exactly where the fumes a
