Honest question, is it possible that since might be using the latest/best model to analyze and improve the existing ones, the moat will expand exponentially, making the models better and more efficient at each iteration until there is

I also was having a similar thought, and think you wrote the answer I could not put my finger on. Compilers are deterministic, AI is a stochastic process, it doesn't always converge exactly to the same answer. Here's the main diff

Me too, I printed it and underlined it, I will try to memorize some of the concepts and the exposition, because this is a cristallization of what I vaguely feel about the abuse of LLM I am currently witnessing

That is very true, although I also have the opposite example: some math books at Uni (e.g. the recommended one for calculus) were so dense with information that I could not make head and tails I often had to buy a second book where the cont

That's a question that I always also asked myself, from my layman understanding space time expanded quicker than gravitational collapse

Well... hold your horses, when you make solar panel self replicating and self-healing nano-machines that span all over the planet you would have beaten nature. So far we have beaten nature on the aspect of sheer efficiency

That's wrong, the fact that is inert doesn't mean it's useless If you remove all nitrogen from atmosphere, there WILL be consequences

It's not really clear to me what's your position. In the sense you state that you find it appalling, but what? The fact that there is a problem with such generative AI, the discussion that might follow, or its consequences. Obviou

That is a study I'd sponsor :D Joking apart (for I am joking, I'd never sponsor something that forces people to do things they don't want) My only point is that whenever I read something like this... well it stinks, because i

That's bollocks, it's more that the vast majority of people who buys a cargo bike is a bike enthusiast to start with. Case in point I am not, I was convinced to buy a cargo bike, and I still like my car very much, particularly whe

I think that one way to "easily" understand the syntax of git is to remember that when you perform a command you "always" modify the current branch for example: git merge my-branch will merge my-branch into the curre

What's the name of the continent where "America" is? :D From a European perspective, American means from the continent America, and not specifically from the US. To me a Brazilian is as much American as a US citizen.

I think that FSF in a very romantic sense, is fighting a lost battle. The vast majority of people don't care much about their freedom and easily trade it away for convenience, that's just that.

It depends on the topology of the clients network, if they are both behind a specific kind of firewall (don't remember the details) no connection can be established from outside When connection is possible, is my understanding that cro

The application has a default parameter that points to a relay server, when you want to share something, you tell to the server "hey I want to connect" and the server gives you back a passphrase, now the receiver connects to the s

Plants will grow more easily... due to increased temperature and CO2, just like in a greenhouse This in the long run will reverse the climate change, so after we go extinct, the remaining species will thrive :)

Instead of "So what do you do" you can always ask "So what do you like doing" ... that might give the person the chance to still talk about work if he/she/they/it/es want to :)

Yes, same here, once I knew it was a fake I started looking and the head looks glued on... without the tip, I might have unconsciously notice something was off, but would not be able to put my finger on it.

It's anyhow a moral argument, just based on different values. For example can you imagine to have sex with someone? Do you need their consent? How is it so much different to produce a deepfake for your own consumption only? I personall

Nope, I volunteer for nothing, and maybe I didn't state it clearly enough: I think that arming Ukraine is the right thing to do. What I cannot stand is that from given premises, one goes to the completely opposite implication. I was ju
