I’m guessing that passing the tokens through the visual cortex doesn’t matter as much as how you engage with the content.

Right, I'm not saying that they would be regulated, but rather the provider of the instrument, and the market adoption of it. Take the emotions he experienced after the event: "Who do I talk to, how do I undo this, what do I do&qu

With the bare minimum of modern electronics. The dream.

While I hear you, I think AC is better centralized for the building, along with heat and water. Yes, there are numerous reasons why this is harder to do than just doing it ad-hoc per apartment, but if we’re to see it as infrastructure, it s

To be fair, this seems consistent with what they normally do, and arguably consistent with what their voters want.

It's cultural. I've read that German society, for example, is largely based on contracts between the family unit and the state. Sweden, as a contrast, is largely based on contracts between individuals and the state. As an example,

They could build them somewhere where people don't care. But you can't co-opt 70 years of public infrastructure investments out in the middle of nowhere.

And didn’t Genghis Khan more or less go to war with most of the known (and some of the unknown) world and for all intents and purposes win?

You'd probably want to be more precise regarding "important for what" as well. And the philosophical angle: if the person hadn't existed, would someone else have slotted in to take their place? Is the impact measured in

Whoever came up with the wheel, maybe? Perhaps someone carrying the original homo sapiens mutations?

Same here. The miniseries itself has its quirks and oddities, but I find it charming. Particularly his role as Merlin.

Well, kind of. This is the kind of problem that you might throw schemas (eg. Malli) at pre 1.13. It’ll be nice to have it at hand in the base language though.

Yes, why not resolve it the same way all the others have done? Say that Trump has weird elbows or something, Trump sues for defamation, they settle, bribe completed.

The people we should be genuinely scared of today are the ones that are looking at Britain's past and are thinking to themselves that colonization sure looks like a good idea that will work super well in modern times. Which not many ac

Didn’t write “money”, wrote “resources”, but sure. Yes, there’s a risk to releasing a product whenever you can be held accountable for that product. I understand that Apple seeks to be as unaccountable as possible. So we ultimately agree wi

The point isn’t that it’s easy or straightforward to do. The point is that one of the world’s wealthiest companies can spare the resources needed to comply with the regulations of one of the world’s largest markets.

Right. Meta’s biggest culture problem is definitely “not enough masculine energy”.

Step 1: put tariffs on coffee and bananas. Step 2: pump out CO2 until climate is appropriate for growing coffee and bananas. … Step n: Load profits onto your scavenged freight boat and try to find Dryland.

Is it more efficient though? It just looks like burning long term prospects for short term ones. Which is on brand with the current regime to be fair.

Planned economies don’t work great beyond small scopes. The market does work, but it’s a giant paper clip AI and needs regulation in order to not turn everything into paper clips.

Wouldn’t it be accurate for that as well? Unless we change to base 10 time units or something. Then we all have a lot of work to do. But if it’s just about starting over from 0 being the AI apocalypse or something, I’m sure it’ll be more ma

It’s a canned tuning mechanism to force the model to change track and align with the user. It’s not so much a message to you as a message to the model from itself.

Same, but it’s a PITA when you also want to support tool calling at the same time. Had to do a double call: call and check if it will use tools. If not, call again and force the use of the (now injected) return schema tool.

I think you’re after something other than immutability then. You’re allowed to rebind a var defined within a loop, it doesn’t mean that you can’t hang on to the old value if you need to. With mutability, you actively can’t hang on to the ol

That’s the point, you’re just haggling about scopes now. All the way from being new per program invocation to new per loop. Immutability doesn’t have this connotation.

There is precedence for Apple waiting for technologies to mature before using them (last mover advantage), and then dominating by being the platform owner. Sometimes, it seems that this just makes parts of their offering seem aged though,
