Does every mathematician get cited in every maths paper? I think it's pretty clear who should be cited.

All the methods and data are not public. We don't know what unpublished methods they're using. You can get most of the pre-training data publicly but they've probably spent a ton of money curating it and are now doing things

I think a big issue is that the companies pushing AI want it to replace people entirely. So the software around it is designed with that mindset. I'd really like something that works more like pair programming. Where you share an edito

It's the exact same training process for both of your examples. I don't really see how you can claim books are not replicated, but that output from other LLMs is.

They have no choice but to train their own model to try and survive. They're paying API pricing for the top tier models but competing against subsidized subscriptions.

The problem is, what's ambiguous or precise is subjective. Your devil's advocate needs to reflect all of the possible readers, and that isn't possible. There's a good reason we use jargon in professions, or more constrai

The problem is that evolution works on a much longer timescale than the pace of change to the environment that humans cause.

The underlying feature of FIAT money creation is debt. And debt is a very natural thing (existing before money) that will just manifest in the crypto system instead.

How do you know it's safe to redeploy? If your entire operation may be compromised, how can you trust the code hasn't been modified, that some information the attackers have doesn't present a further threat, or that flaws tha

That's the definition of a "reference pixel", not a pixel. They actually refer to a pixel (and the angle) in the definition.

In the UK and Ireland (and maybe elsewhere?), a kettle lead is actually C13. I guess you need a beefier cable/pins in the US, as you're drawing more current at a lower voltage. Most kettles now have a base with an integrated cable

The rules do work on the AST but the current cookie rule is not as advanced as it could/should be. For example, we really should treat encryption as sanitizing the value. We'll take another look at the rules with this in mind. If

Thanks for your questions. Yes we do perform dataflow analysis: 1. Not yet but we are exploring ways to support that 2. The analysis part is sound. False +ves (mainly) come from limitations with what you can specify in the rule language. We

The main advantages of Ruby blocks over that approach are: - they have special control flow that interacts with the method call or surrounding function. ie. calling `break` in `something` can early return from `someMethod`, or calling `retu

You have to ask yourself, why are those middlemen there at the moment? We have digital trading platforms / banking systems, the technological side of it is not the issue. It's because regulation says only certain institutions are

Decentralised systems are always more inefficient. If certain kinds of transactions are currently cheaper, it's due to lack of regulation (lack of competition in many cases is sadly a symptom of regulation). When the inevitable economi

Aside from the environmental issue, I think Bitcoin is a poorly designed currency that ignores economic history/principles. I have a really low expectation of it being able to provide price stability.

All of the cryptocurrencies I've seen so far seem to based on a simplistic and fundamentally flawed view of economics. A long term trend (whether inflationary or deflationary) in the overall supply is insufficient to target price stabi

While there are obvious flaws with the analogy (like any analogy), I think the comparison with eyesight (or touch, etc.) is about making people think of the mind as more of a sensory organ. One that gives you input that may or may not be us

Why are you quoting figures for the entire tax take in a discussion about healthcare? To give you some perspective, the healthcare-only figures for those countries are US: 16.8%, Denmark: 10.3%, Sweden: 11%, Germany: 11.2%, France: 11.1% an

There were only a couple of people discussing that, and only a handful of comments. Most of the discussion seemed to be about how terrible the terms were and whether there were any alternatives to YouTube.
