Absolutely this. Flip the idea on the head to reveal where he’s at coming out with such statements.

That’s correct but it’s multimodal. It might not have been the reason for getting involved in the first place but it does now seem like a reason for something happening every time the oil price starts to drop again.

No, because now they think they’re going to get $5000 of free money the day after the election.

It’s more like 2D chess, so within DJT’s comprehension.

It’s a simple calculation though and not talked about enough. USA went to war in Iraq 25 years ago thanks to the oilmen in charge at that time. For all the political bluster about Iran and gas prices, $100 oil makes them hugely more profit

I feel like it’s actually designed more with women in mind. Instagram influencing type women who will think nothing of spending $150 a month on it.

“It’s our smallest largest iPhone ever” They’re wiser than I but this aspect ratio already seems like a weird choice. And cynically designed to increase in gen 2, 3, 4 onwards.

How are you defining dystopian exactly? The climate is dystopian, all the rest follows naturally from that.

One person’s graffiti and vandalism is another persons freedom of artistic expression. Like how music magically turns into “noise” when someone buys an apartment next to a lively gig venue.

There’s just also so much confusion about LLMs and Agents because they use language outputs and can do these higher level reasoning tasks, ie given an objective can programmatically decide their own course of action, like the ultimate self-

yeah it's like one shortcut and a trim bar in QuickTime so that's the right tool for the job. iMovie isn't much harder but is a palaver with its whole pre-rendering thing just to export what should be a trivial edit.

They peddle confusion, not solutions or sense.

It’s The Guardian - they just propose left-wing hyperbolic noise with no connection to the real world rather than offer any kind of solutions. Not even aware that Zuck is the biggest shareholder and has all the voting rights, it’s his baby

Is this what happens with scooters and lime bikes etc? Because it always strikes me that they’re easy targets for cannibalism yet nobody seems to do it.

As a British person who was born in the EU and spent 35 years of their life as an EU citizen, the treatment of us since Brexit has felt like it. Naturally the standard comeback can be “yes but you all voted for Brexit this is your fault wha

One of the smart moves the EU has performed is to bring all ideas of Europeanness and European identity and Europe as a continent under its exclusive umbrella. Even places like Switzerland are somehow now defined by their exclusion when you

Get a job where you’re soldering all day, or doing audio repair or something like that. Embrace the fumes. Sloppily test live equipment. Remove and replace amplifier chips on amp boards 8 hours a day. Any company near you importing large am

Really not sure, the numbers aren’t too hard to run. GPUs in particular are really not doing very much most of the time. But spinning them up does max out the machine and make it hot and increase the power consumption quite a lot so it woul

Vibe code that app and business. It’s a great idea like a kind of SETI@Home for business but I’m not sure the compute and latency will really be good enough unless you’re talking about a business with literally thousands of machines sitting

Confusion around concepts such as intelligence, consciousness, self-awareness, sentience, sapience and aliveness is causing a huge difficulties in the debates around LLMs and AI. Hofstadter didn’t exactly say that self-reference and strange

by gizajob 14d ago
Kind of question-begging towards the idea that LLMs are self-referential in the same way that Hofstadter means. Even if they loop, they don’t do so strangely.

I can totally appreciate that there’s really not much of a difference between Americans and Canadians in terms of mindset and habits. What i mean is that if Canadians are going to want to stay as Canadians, then they really are going to hav
