What's interesting is that the LLMs' coding personalities seem to match their policy WRT to strategy, which suggests an underlying consistency. Claude, for example, is very eager to begin coding, and very persistent. It tends to e

The article is really vague and a bit misleading, but the bill text appears to be surprisingly readable, and honestly not much longer than the article. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

A lot of agricultural water usage (more water than AI) is for growing corn to turn into ethanol so we can add it to gasoline. It's not a small amount either, 40% of all corn in the US is used for this purpose.

This was the same logic that was used when building nuclear weapons, and many of the scientists involved in that tried to find a different path (most notably Niels Bohr). I think we would be in a much better world if they had been successfu

They also removed the words build, develop, deploy, and technology, indicating that they're no longer a tech company and don't make products anymore. Wonder what they're all gonna do now? /s

You can't call something a bad-faith argument just because you disagree with it. I mean, you can, but it's not at all convincing. As I said, if AI companies reproduce copyrighted works, they should be sued, just like a human artis

Every artist and creator of anything learned by engaging with other people's work. I see training AI as basically the same thing. Instead of training an organic mind, it's just training a neural network. If it reproduces works tha

The navy comment is a bit unfair, as it's well-known that Amazon is more of an airpower (hence "the cloud" etc.)

You think the SF parking enforcement agency is tracking everyone?! That's one of the wilder conspiracy theories I've heard recently.

I mean, if you're that fatalistic, why worry about AI (or even climate change) in particular? If we're all just doomed no matter what, you may as well just enjoy what you can from life and not stress too much about any particular

You're still missing it, we are not in a deadlock. Developed countries are in fact decarbonizing. China too is decarbonizing, though they're behind where the West is, but their goal is to peak their emissions by 2030. In fact, i

We are much greener though, at least in the West. Climate emissions peaked in Europe and North America in the last few decades (earlier in Europe.) In Europe, forests are growing back, because marginal agricultural land is being returned

Is the issue that the suggestions from the AI tool are not good, or is that bad code is making it into the repo? The latter problem should be prevent by code review (first by the developer using the AI tool and then their teammates on a PR.

I think your definition is completely reasonable, but it's not how people answer the question (again, based on reading the report, which has a lot more detail.)

The living paycheck to paycheck stat is meaningless. It generates headlines, because bad news wins, but if you dig in, even the surveys that ask about this reveal that a large percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck are very financ

IIUC, I think it was built to have water in it, but sealed up, so it never did. So not quite the thrill you're describing.

Reminds me of the stories of people in NYC's diamond district making their living by looking for dropped gemstones and tiny bits of gold. https://nypost.com/2011/06/20/got-his-mined-in-the-gutter/

I initially agreed, but then I had the thought that this would lead to people just knowing which lights have camera and being extra careful around those, while freely running the lights elsewhere. Imagine if we had a problem where a bunch o

I don't know how I feel about all this, but I came up with an amusing idea I wanted to share. What if we refund the money to everyone, but only those who didn't get a ticket in the past year? Creates even more incentives to drive

Step 3 can be simplified slightly be doing git fetch && git rebase origin/main. No need to check out the local main.

I hate to tell you, but I've been training a neural network on the internet for over a decade now. Specifically the one between my ears. Unfortunately, it seems to be gradually going insane.

The ad hominem isn't necessary, counting calories is working great for me. Glad you found something that works for you.
