When you start getting into things like this, there's the initial price, then all the pile on of tax and the infrastructure needed to run thing. It's like getting a boat. For a mere $55K you can get a small one... but that is mere

Funny thing is, you don't really want to just plug that into a wall socket. You want an uninterruptible power supply that can keep the machine running for the 5 to 8 minutes you need to get to it and shut it down safely during a power

Yeah, I bought a Thelio Major three years ago. I'm kicking myself for not going dual-4090s for a mere $10K back then.

So a new car, or an AI rig. That's a bitter pill to swallow. Most of this is the cost of the Nvidia card, and the RAM.

Why would they need to be deployed for an adversary to make use of that information? Sure it's more valuable on deployment, but wouldn't we also want to, you know, not give information on mobilization or lack thereof?

This is just happening now? Shouldn't this have been done for troop security a long time ago?

Some of the data centers build out solar, most are natural gas turbines. The outside agitators are in the news. The U.S. just happens to be a little more vulnerable to "straight to the people" propaganda campaigns.

So not the massive Chinese bot farm (200K +) launching anti-datacenter propaganda campaigns? It's just the green energy concern? ("Spiking local prices" was one of the propaganda talking points.) These new AI data centers are

This is just a complaint about a political stunt. No meat to the editorial.

"The more words in the text, the more accurate the analysis will be that the text was generated by a specific AI model or not." And this is why the latest Claude models blather so much more. All for the sake of this "watermar

At first I read the title and mistook it for an argument against the anthropomorphism of LLMs. It isn't. Instead it's a take on suggesting that maybe it's a bad idea to dumb down the self-chatter in the process. A reasonable

They have different applications. Sometimes you want steel because you want the pan to lose heat rapidly, depending on what you're cooking. Other times, you want cast iron; you want slow temperature change. A well-equipped kitchen wi

How? It seems like any legal framework for attempting to prevent something like this would only have worse unintended effects. For example: every sale of a brand or a company has to go through a government committee (bribes, kickbacks, fric

The context was medical intervention for a minor. You trying to narrow it to be only that of treating gender dysphoria has the convenient effect of having to only consider whether the suffering is related to the dysphoria, and not the broad

No, that is not the purpose of "puberty blockers." Those drugs were developed for four different reasons: 1. To delay extremely early-onset puberty in children as young as seven or eight who had a pituitary disorder. 2. To treat a

It's unfortunate that the label AI is attached at all. Gen AI as presently constructed is Vector Inference, not machine intelligence. R2D2, R. Daneel Olivaw... thinking machines, that's what the moniker Artificial Intelligence was

Fagles' translation of The Illiad worked best for me, but his translation of The Odyssey was very dry. I landed on Rieu's translation (I read Lattimore's too, but kept going back to Rieu.) According to the test, I should

I wonder if he posts from the toilet like Elon. You should have skin in the game to vote (citizenship as a minimum in national elections, for example). It used to be that owning property was that gate (land, specifically, not income). So ho

Are there sandboxes you typically use? I think the biggest concern from the article would be the open http server, and things like the fetched arbitrary command execution here: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode&#x2F

Social media these days is 80% psyop, 20% attention grind. That 55% of Americans stopped posting would be a healthy thing.
