Would be a great way for up and coming researchers to learn and apply skills before attempting to work in labs pursuing novel research. Maybe some joint effort across a large number of research schools which function as “proportional to num

Also, the $20/month subscriptions are HEAVILY subsidized, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison really

We should be mindful of the context that many of these providers VERY likely have been selling their subscriptions at a substantial loss So as much as i agree “more profits to stakeholders screw the customer”, i think its more of an emergen

Money market/treasuries (even ETF like SGOV) gets pretty close to 5% when typical savings rate is a bit under If treasuries “fail” we have a different class of problem.

Ah yes, California the land of regulations. A compliance tax for the tire companies, less freedom of choice from consumers, and likely inferior products for a hefty subset of use cases. Tale as old as time.

Most of my model usage comes from my work’s model selection (which is now down to just Claude models) I’ll try out the latest models, but mainly stick with Claude only because I’m most used to its quirks and how to work around them. I imagi

This is a national security nightmare. For better or worse, fossil fuels have massive energy densities, which makes economics in defense context (and others) extremely favorable. Even with today’s energy polices, electricity costs have skyr

I experienced similar reaction when i was doing keto. It became far more difficult to burn that summer

I imagine part of the performance issue is their encryption flow? Their search is sub par even with the on-device search enabled, but besides that i’ve been a happy customer for a few years now. Catch all domain, multiple domains, their cli

You can just make the tool calls restricted/scoped to whatever the calling account has access to (or in this case the repo) That way even if the LLM broke out of the system prompt the worst case would be similar to a 404 or 401. Why ar

I think this seems purposeful, as there's 2 opposing forces at play: - Have a model that follows the users instructions - Have a model that follows the system prompt instructions more For the 'safety' argument (Re: Fable),

Accountants can be expensive, especially if your books are messy, or have poor accounting practices from the start. Systems like quickbooks, hubspot, payment processors all have tiers where yes on paper they make it easy to properly setup g

I’d slightly disagree, the profile of people who go missing is as important as a random chance there is a coincidence. Former military officers, high-level scientists. These individuals have training, money, and live in areas where this ten

Bit tinfoil hat, but outside of the phone becoming thinner and other design benefits with integrated batteries, I largely think the intelligence community has an aligned interest to keep phone batteries from being hot-swappable like pre-iph

Unfortunately much of China’s perverse tactics (they’ve done this in a wide array of industries) is to steal patented tech and trade secrets from companies outside China, subsidize the manufacturing and development etc, then sell their prod

For your first point, on the off chance they have other equipment capable of surpassing MANPADS I’d prefer as a passenger they just fly around. Second point, it’s not obvious if its for MANPAD reasons or it’s our own operation though we can

I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next 5-10 years the new and popular programming language is one built with the idea of optimizing how well LLM’s (or at that point world models) understand and can use it. Right now LLMs are taking language

As I understand it, it was in part about their Azure miss more about capital expenditure and market anxiety around their OpenAI investment ROI. Also a portion of their Azure spend was some clever accounting they did if memory serves me htt

Too little, too late. Switched to Brave and haven’t been happier. Firefox lost the plot years ago.

I think it has a potential to raise a lot of the salaries of blue-collar positions in middle America, and then create demand for the trades over the next decade or so. I find it unlikely that white collar positions will be switching drastic

Despite how obtuse the current administration views are, this has been true for decades. The churn of new papers and hype around medicine/biotech is nothing new. Says nothing about endemic reproducibility crisis of the social sciences.

Its just another layer of potential misdirection that BBC themselves, and many other news orgs, perpetuate. Im not surprised. From first hand experience -> secondary sources -> journalist regurgitation -> editorial changes This is

Defaulting to China stealing IP is a perfectly reasonable first step. China is known for their countless theft of Europe and especially American IP, selling it for a quarter of the price, and destroying the original company nearly overnig

Agree, I think the high cost of full time hires for entry level software jobs (total comp + onboarding + mentoring) vs investing in AI and seeing if that gap can be filled is a far less risky choice at the current economic state. 6-12 month

The fact something is profitable (even vices) does not mean it requires regulations, unless the regulation in mind is direct or indirect cap on profit margins?

Ah yes, the secret design of pistols which go off at the slightest bump (its a lottery, only 1 in 1,000 chance!) Revoke contracts, investigate the leadership who accepted the contract, and hold Sig criminally liable given they have internal

I agree its a popular excuse, however unlike the blockchain craze there’s legitimate use cases of productivity improvements with AI. And if you can (in some cases) substantially increase productivity, then logically you can reduce team size

Unfortunately i think many of those jobs can also be attributed to general economic health post low interest rates. Companies now need to leave pre-revenue and turn a profit, or if you’re an established company you need to cut costs/in

Especially given how the gov stats for unemployment rate and CPI have been changed over the years. Example, if you dig into who we technically consider unemployed in that number, you’ll laugh. Let’s say after 6 months of emails and ghost
