This is what Terence Tao said of Buckmaster’s and Alpolge approach: “There does not seem to be anything in principle preventing the methods from extending all the way to Navier-Stokes, and there is even a non-negligible chance that the forc

This quote from Tao is prescient: “ There does not seem to be anything in principle preventing the methods from extending all the way to Navier-Stokes, and there is even a non-negligible chance that the forcing term could be eliminated enti

This will mostly self-correct. Nature really doesn’t give a fuck about ideology. Just vaccinate yourself and your kids and listen to the advice of real doctors.

But will “business as usual, but with AI” justify the current capital expenditures? I think the market is pricing things as being closer to “AI cornucopia”. What happens if/when we don’t deliver?

You are horrified it needs access to its own stuff? I mean, any software that supports plugins needs access to them, no? How is that unreasonable? And with bwrap that’s an extra cli option.

I highly recommend reading A Thread Across the Ocean, a gripping tale of the development and laying of the first transatlantic cable. It’s quite a page turner.

Most of that money is wasted on keeping the military industrial complex fat and happy, it's not going into soldier's pockets. And I say this being pro-US and indeed seeing the world as a dangerous place. But let's not make so

You made a tiny mistake, you forgot the $800 billion for the military!

Anyone who has ever seen or handled a simple 1U server knows this is absolute bullshit. And laundry bags have to be absolutely the worst possible way to transport something like this. And they stole 80 of them? So basically a truckload? Sur

I think non-software creative work has indeed been completely decimated by AI usage, particularly on the small business end. But this has been going on for a while now, I think since the image generation models got good enough to write down

I don’t want you to be anything but a team player. Let’s work together and get it done. Be an artist on your time, not mine.

Well, it’s nice you bring up strawmen after you called me a hobgoblin (a delicious word btw). I hope this _divine_ irony is not lost on someone like yourself. > I learned that my style is somehow "bad." That’s what you are miss

TIL I am divine! By the way, you have the exact energy of someone who would argue about code style: a prima donna who quotes Emerson when confronted with disagreement.

The actual rules are less important, only the consistency of applying them is. I find that people who argue against automatic linting and formatting tend to be the same that would argue incessantly about style. So much wasted energy, I want

You can’t get nuanced, well thought out takes here on anything AI and Elon related unfortunately. It’s frustrating because I often come to HN for the smart contrarian takes. But now I have to search really hard to find the opposite.

I don’t imagine you get paid by the FSB, so I gotta ask, do you really do this for free?

Being a pacifist doesn’t imply being a doormat. At any rate, I don’t think Ukraine would have attacked Russia under any credible circumstances.

Most of the time it’s the other way around, at least in the US: because cash and credit card prices are almost always the same it is the cash users who are overpaying, to the tune of 2-3% of the purchase price. It makes no sense to use cash

It's funny you mention fair, because to me a fair society is one where smart kids are not penalized for being so. So yes, we all want fair, but what we think of as fair can be wildly different.

Following your analogy, what equity efforts turn in practice is to not only accommodate for track length for those that start behind, but also to cut one leg off of those perceived to be ahead.

by elteto 4mo ago
That all sounds great in theory but in practice it devolves not into only giving extra help to those in need, but also to _take away_ from those perceived to have some sort of advantage. See for example NYC's idiotic plan to close gift

The ashtrays are there, even today, because it is suspected that this flight [0] went down when someone disposed a cigarette butt in the lavatory trash, causing a fire. A reminder that aviation regulations are written in blood. [0] https:&

Can I ask why don't you want a Tesla charger talking to Tesla? Seems a bit odd if you already own a Tesla vehicle that is just piping the data to Tesla all the time.

Allow me to disagree while I look back at the last 80 years of US government-funded research. The government isn’t “picking” the research topics. It’s the scientists in places like the NSF that are. No system is perfect but some system is b

Fund them to do what exactly? Come up with their own research ideas? You got the pipeline backwards. The government picks the research areas/priorities then allocates funding for those, and universities apply and compete to get grants.

Local models will never compete with large SOTA models, in the same way an iPhone doesn't compete with supercomputers doing nuclear simulations. They paths will differentiate and split. Probably SOTA models will eventually be locked do

The image editing demo was fun... the model is not very well censored.
