Teslas do very badly when benchmarked against human caused deaths in similar (luxury) vehicles.

The relationship is that the service and rewards you get are subsidised by generally poorer people who mess up their financial planning.

I've run it with a large context window on 256GB ram + 4090. It wasn't super fast, but it was manageable and it completed the tasks I gave it well.

It's definitely a bad argument worthy of some sort of label. It seems to go "you believe this thing, which I won't engage with at all, but I'll assume that because of the way you said it, you also believe all this other

That's a disappointing chart from the economist. When you have a lot of points, you can't show them as dots that occlude other dots, or the reader can't get much more of a sense than 'none / some / lots'.

One of the things I've been talking about with my senior developers is how the bottleneck has shifted even more dramatically to human code understanding vs code generation. AI is still not suitable for generating production grade code

So much of this depends on the specifics of the virtual world and participant pool. If there are a few other bots smart enough to collaborate, and the game world encourages it, then those instincts would be much more valuable. If the game w

I'm not sure who this kind of thing is aimed at. I think the majority of people who are happy to anthropomorphise LLMs from a philosophical point of view (rather than those who just do it for convenience, the same way you might a cat o

Ultimately it was inevitable that as passive investing got more and more popular, people would seek to game it. Not that I'm happy about it, but if this works, it is probably just the beginning of sneaky ways being found to trick passi

There have been a few screen revisions on the 13, so there's a decent chance that a better screen will be available eventually on the 12 as an upgrade.
18.
by kybernetikos 4mo ago
Quite possibly yes. The level of upgradeability they've given their Framework 13 line over the years has been very impressive, and you can still put the latest CPU in the original chassis if you want. https://www.youtube.com

I'm not sure that there's a lot of overlap between the target markets. Most schools near me require windows and require a stylus capable touch screen, so the mac is out of the running immediately. Even if it weren't, the fact

I think there are some factors beyond just skill too - the kinds of tasks you're giving the AI, and how involved you are in ensuring the output is good (via either extensive planning guidance, extensive review/testing, or a combin

There are decent alternatives. Personally I use newsblur, and I like having a feed that contains only sources I've chosen.

You can still hear the music written for the game 'glitch' if you join a slack audio room with nobody else in it.

yeah, it's like a list of some of the language features I'm most interested in (probably the only thing really missing from my list would be a form of capabilities- so you can restrict library code to a subset of the capabilities

"Don't click on links" is not a solution, and it's not something people actually do, it's just something they think they do. Corporate Security will tell you that it's ok to click links to the payroll system or

Current LLM architecture doesn't learn - and you're right this is a huge piece that normal folks fail to understand, since in many ways, it's the opposite of what years of AI research has been trying to create. However, I thi

It's hard for me to know for sure, but to me it felt like the fact that none of the firefoxOS phones were targetted as devices developers would themselves want to use as their main phone was a big misstep in strategy.
