Could it be that relatively few quartz arrowheads were made, but that disproportionately many of them survived to have been subsequently discovered? Survivorship bias.

You can both be right. I live in a high trust society (Japan), but was raised elsewhere. When I first came here, there were times I had to suppress my instinct to take opportunistic advantage. That was intrinsic motivation. Later, I had ada

Yosh would always be an abbreviation in Japanese. And only done for foreigners, not for other Japanese. Yoshihiro or Yoshiyuki would likely be called Yoshi by their friends.

Couple of expressions from pre-AI culture: "RTFM", "Google is your friend". These were well-used because they are directed, pithy, abrasive. (n)amow(?): (not) All my own work ?

Are you arguing that USA can no longer build parking lots due to environmental concerns? If so, that would indeed be remarkable since parking lots seem to be the facility that almost every US town has been able to build more than enough of.

AI are not real people . Obviously. Just look at the first line to see the intended line of argument. It's not about which people per se, but how many, in aggregate.

I don't know what to say. I have tried to point it out more than once. I agree with EU's approach to earbud access, but am also sympathetic to Apple wrt to ROI on its LLM. Perhaps the issue you seem to be having is that there'

You seem to be claiming that LLM is necessarily integral to iPhone. I am suggesting that need not be the case. Remember, half of the consideration here is to find a way for Apple to recoup it's investment in LLM. Without creating anti-

Gasoline is the very definition of a commodity. For now, at least, LLM is very from that. As far as I know, Apple is unique in delivering inference on such a tiny device. For this they deserve a reward. The question is how. Like the EU, I d

Apple has clearly made very significant investment in creating a LLM small and efficient enough to do inference locally on an iPhone. This is excellent work and should be applauded. For the EU, the issue is that Apple intends to recoup this

In the new TV series Alien Earth, the low resolution CRT monitors and clunky keyboards aboard interstellar spacecraft really stand out. Presumably it's an homage to the 80s' movies.

There are many varietals of rice. Most do not grow in marsh land. Farmers often do flood the fields at the beginning of a rice growing season in order to drown out any competing plants. Flooding is not necessary though. Rice will grow with

iirc, it is LSD, but not LSD-25. Which is the kind usually synthesised and sold on blotters. LSD-25 was so named because it was Hoffman's twenty fifth experimental LSD variant.

I am not an expert, but I suspect the disconnect concerns number of data sources. LLMs are good at generalising over many points of data, but not good at recapitulating a single data point like in your example.

I am not the person you asked, but it seems to me the key difference is concentration of accessible resources. If so, the areas where the trails behind your house intersect with wealthy suburban or urban areas are the areas most likely to c

The English word petty derives from the French petit (small). So that's almost tautological.

It should be fine, I believe. Just in terms of land-use, livestock is several times less efficient than other kinds of agriculture for the same food output. So a shift from meat to other food crops would be a net win, even as it frees up la
