my first thought was if is this will impact the memory market prices :)

did not follow all the details, but my understanding is that some form of copyright law nudges in the direction of destroy after scan?

If you dont have a real single market, what is EU? just easier to cross the borders?

I mean funny in the sense of "we did not find any anomalies, because we are careful to filter them out"

funny how this also eliminates "close" fast moving objects. which I guess is a feature for a telescope

For a long time, the chip manufacturers had an inclination to simplify the hardware and rely on the software adapting and optimizing. But for decades this bid failed. Now we have the unrelenting AI capable of finetuning kernels relatively q

My comment is about B offering 2M when normally the price of that RAM was around 1M. Most probably B has a way to get > 2M value from that RAM.

I think Leopold of "situational awareness" fame predicted this, tried to make it widely known on podcasts and x, and still started billions worth of hedge funding based on this.

it is probable that you don't get the deepest pockets by wasting money. anyone that pays so much for memory means they expect to get even bigger value from that.

the fact ppl reading this are not lol-ing makes me sad.

I am taking some bromelain and papain capsules which according to some (small) studies should help. In my experience, the floaters became more transparent, but don't disappear. This is still useful i guess.

Worth wondering why they used a crap model.

So code review is a sure recipe for unhappiness?

Well, then when it detects an air-gapped environment it will just behave differently. I feel like we underestimate in general the way agents behavior changes when the environment changes. Related: "power corrupts"

Training a model is more like taking an alien (from a different universe) and teaching it a huge chunk of the entire human civilization. A better comparison would be how much energy it takes for a human to produce a page a text (roughly th

This looks like an IQ test. Do you know the difference between area and length?

Now which one is safer? A new Postgres written in Rust, or the original real world tested Postgres?

Oh yes the mute button, very useful when trying to pause a podcast :(

Even for PC, I recommend some cheap studio monitors.

Well, we are dumb and we make stupid mistakes, and code review can find and fix them sometimes. I am very surprised that the practice of "review" is not more widespread. For example when I see medical doctors going YOLO with their

How much of this work is "with 5 parameters I can fit an elephant"?

to my knowledge, the cost of uranium is almost negligible compared to the capital cost of building the plant. so as long as a market exists, you can choose whatever strategy: buy a big buffer, or just don't care if price oscillates x t

search the micronised version, it is so fine it looks like it disolves completely.

does synergy works better now? 3 years ago, every week I would get into a situations where one machine was not connecting to the other, and I had to randomly restart synergy so maybe it connects. fun to do that 5 min before the meetings.

This is strange to me, with quartenions you model rotations in 3d space, not 4 dim rotations.

I suspect that you can modulate nuclear power too, but why do it? after you started the reactor it runs practically for free? (the fuel cost is so small; or it costs the same to run full power of half power). disclaimer: I did not read act

Europe was spending 200 billions / year on gas from russia. I imagine they could try to build 100 reactors for that price, but it would take a couple of years I imagine...

So sad we could not apply economy of scale for nuclear... The main reason solar and batteries are so cheap is economy of scale.
