Moreover, Rust traits' associated constants/types get in the way of having a proper bottom type. What would <! as Iterator>::Item be? (In Scala I think it just doesn't compile?)

I also have limited memory though; surely that doesn't disqualify me from possessing general intelligence? Granted I have more memory than can fit in currently-practical LLM context windows, but RAG mostly solves that. When an AI is th

I like to think that I possess general intelligence, yet I'm not sure I would do any better in my first two weeks of trying to remotely manage a cafe in Stockholm. But fair point about novelty.

Why shouldn't an AI with RAG qualify? An AGI test should be black-box; we shouldn't impose require requirements on internal components. As long as the overall AI is capable of learning and remembering things, it shouldn't mat

Wouldn't agents that do inference in an infinite loop pass that bar?

You're quoting a civilian who has no role in the government, let alone its military command.

I don't love this either, but at least it's a short-term economic quirk. At some point fabs will figure out what the long-term demand looks like and scale up production accordingly.

That's not at all what the data shows. Lots of aid was crossing the border, but during some periods over 90% of it was being intercepted, according to the UN's own data ( https://app.un2720.org/tracking ).

One of WMF's more controversial expenditures was its $4.5 million "Knowledge Equity Fund", a grant program that tries to fight racial inequity. The recipients don't have to participate in Wikipedia or anything. They may

I think it's safe to say you're in the minority. Empirically, "fast and cheap" cosmetic upgrades like repainting usually more than pay for themselves. > I'd rather the outlet covers be original and clean than the

To add a few more: it's similarly easy to swap cabinet handles, vent covers, outlet wall plates. Fresh caulk is nice too, even if it's a bit sloppy, still beats stained or cracked caulk.

The centralized leadership has no hard power though; the community normally goes along with changes they propose because they're normally sensible. If they go rogue, people will stop following their proposals. In Vitalik's words:

Moreover, the vast majority of active software development work relates to modern proof-of-stake blockchains like Ethereum, not Bitcoin which is mostly ossified.

There isn't really a technical difference that made PoS viable for Ethereum but not Bitcoin; it's a hard fork in either case. The differences are more cultural - - For better or worse, Ethereum has more centralized leadership (mai

Compared to traditional concrete, isn't hempcrete much weaker and less rigid? It's an interesting material for sure, but I thought it was basically considered non-structural filler. Autoclaved aerated concrete is worth a mention a

My point is essentially that there are no new problems here, just the usual problems that we already have regulatory frameworks to address. Sometimes those existing frameworks are imperfect, e.g. in some states, power companies can't c

The rules shouldn't be specific to datacenters though; mechanics like Pennsylvania's "but-for" cost allocation make sense globally. If a new smelting plant requires upgrades to a substation, which wouldn't otherwise

Yeah - there seem to be a lot of pretenses which don't actually justify banning a particular industry. If environmental concerns were the real issue, we'd be talking about how to tweak those regulations. If power distribution was

What do you mean? Proving things about sensitive data without revealing it is what ZKPs are for. If you mean that the tech isn't mature enough to be trusted yet, I think there's some truth to that, but it depends on what software

Right. Is your view that nothing can be done about the extortion? I think there are lots of ways other states could make it risky for ships to pay Iran; the US was at least attempting that before the MoU.

The usual view of the international community is that everyone is bound by customary international law. This would remain the case even if the US or others violated it; the hypocrisy of other states wouldn't release any state from its

Any Jew certainly has cultural ties to Palestine, if we're talking about the region rather than the modern national identity with the same name.

by dlubarov 3mo ago
What do you mean by “Palestinian”? They’re Palestinian by the classic definition of “those who live in the region of Palestine”. If you mean citizens of the State of Palestine, that’s a political matter, and zero Jews have that citizenship.

A lot of the stricter codes have very real safety benefits though - modern electrical is much safer, fire sprinklers add significant cost but really do help contain fires, etc. (Not that it's all good, e.g. I don't like Washington
