But what is the point of a 1-time tax? It doesn't solve anything! It's just a slush fund for the SEIU!

I don't understand the point of a "one time" tax. What happens once the money runs out a year later? Another "one time" tax?? Why not implement a permanent tax if you want to permanently solve the problem??

This is like Antonelli saying "we're going too fast, everyone slow down"!

Is there an imagemagick implementation that I can just throw into the pipeline?

Agreed. And his doom words have set a 1000 mouths in the Pentagon/Whitehall/August 1st Building/Kremlin salivating with excitement. Take China, for example. Look at any recent ML conference, and see the fraction of articles m

I think skills also count towards the token counts. In the end, everything becomes a 1-D array of input text.

Sergey Brin (of Google fame) was known for "dating" young interns/employees at Google in the early days. Once, when HR reminded him that he could get into trouble (since it was against policy), his response was, basically (pa

I heard once that even if DeBeers stopped all diamond mining activity, their existing stockpile would last for a 100 years or more.

Ariane is from the ESA, which is an organization under EU. The claim was that "EU is finally decoupling itself from the USA". My point is: the EU already has Ariane, for instance. It decoupled a long time ago.

Are we forgetting about Ariane?

I met a senior (as in, 4th year of college) recently and she asked me: what advice do you have for someone just graduating in the AI age? (as I had told her that I've been in ML for 20+ years, etc.) My recommendation to her was: just _

I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, and this is just based on my 33 years of observing the USG at work, so: maybe because Anthropic refused to cooperate with the USG and give them access to whatever it is that they (USG)

As someone who spent countless nights tweaking Edge Detectors (looking at you, Canny), morphology operators, etc., building models to recognize 10 handwritten digits, let me tell you: the current set of LLMs (even the smaller ones) seem lik

I often feel like the use cases, demos, etc. that these Silicon Valley employees put out are based around their needs and how they operate. "Oh hey! Here's a demo of an AI planning out a 1-week trip to Paris!" No one in Middl

Burning Man is ...... what you make of it. The last time I went, there was this dude in a camp next to where I was camped. The entire week I was there, I only saw him sitting and drinking; he was totally hammered the entire 7 days and didn&

The food comes out early in the morning (8AM). This guy I often find watching me around noon. So the food has long been consumed and forgotten.

I like the fact that they are so ... observant. A specific crow (I recognize him due to the missing feathers around his collar) will spend a while sitting on a tree outside my window, observing me for no reason. I do feed them generally by

It's good to be skeptical. But in my case, there is not much more to it.

Reddit seems to have let this AI demand go to their heads. I had multiple Reddit accounts, simply because I did not want my more "professional" account linked to the other accounts (some for more controversial opinions, some for m

Peppermint oil has traditionally been used in India for digestion, so you may be on to something. I remember this particular brand growing up: https://www.amazon.com/clp/B001NQ7S9G (no relation).

What if the result is a counter-example? A fact that disproves the conjecture? Is that not publication-worthy?

The best part was you could `finger @machine` and it would list all the users currently logged on, their idle times, etc. Then you could follow that with `talk user@machine` and start chatting with them.

You want to take a look at the "Scaling Laws" paper, so you can extrapolate from these numbers.

I don't think adding a 0.5% surcharge to transactions over Rupees 2000 is "pound foolish". Most transactions are smaller, and someone has to pay to maintain the infrastructure. :shrug: Also: just because money is being wasted
