The comments here seem to presuppose that somehow Slovakia is the only ones who would need to worry about this, and not, say, any town with Flock in it

This is awesome, it's literally harnessing llms for creativity. There's got to be a deeper angle here to develop llms in this direction explicitly: exploring possibility space and then mapping that into reality as post processing

Those free models won't be able to keep up so easy now that the actual frontier models aren't giving away all the answers anymore.

My wife is working on her PhD in microbiology now, using OpenAI to implement her research ideas. Genetics is just too much data, and she eats through tokens like nobody's business. I thought I was careless with them, but she barely las

Other than "numbers go up" it's unclear to me what the consequences are, as I'm not extremely familiar with El Niño events. Hurricanes, maybe?

As an American, I always see this kind of "cautious" foreign culture he talks about in shows and anime and I always thought it was meant to be a commentary of specific characters in the show, but everyone is like that? That's

This is delightful! But I was hoping for more "why" in the readme, clearly someone wanted to do something fun here and it'd be lovely to hear more.

I've lived in major US cities my entire life and have never been a victim of crime. Do you have any facts to back up this seemingly outrageous claim?

This article is absurd. They make a credible claim that nuclear deterrence through behavioral norms has failed, and then go on to conclude that the best alternative is ... Nuclear deterrence through behavioral norms. Has the author read the

This is written with the genuinely unreasonable treatment of American claims as legitimate and actions as legal, with no consideration offered to the very real likelihood that the American government is simply lying and committing a war of

Except you need food to live and tv shows are an artificially scarce resource that's actually free to distribute in unlimited quantities, so the harm is very different.

I contend people starving is a worthwhile problem to solve. Can the tech industry solve it? I don't think so, which makes me curious what the point of the tech industry really is.

All the security issues patched in software have either been there since it was released or are introduced with feature updates. As a security veteran, the end of patching is hardly as dire as this imagines. Update: Patching has always been

I agree that when people say "I'll have to get back to you" it sounds a little less than inspiring. In the military, we always called that "taking a look up" or a "due out," but it helps to be able to arti

Having worked on half a dozen government projects backed by Oracle databases, this really seems to be Oracle's entire business model: ship the shittiest product on earth, years late and oodles over budget. I've yet to witness some

I used to work on a DoD special project that required rare earths that we could only get from China and we had to write a monthly memo about the risk to our $10B program that China would just stop selling it to us. The problem boiled down t

This seems like yet another a hilariously disastrous misstep on the part of the Democrats, dark money and restricted speech and red tape. Have they considered just, you know, talking to people on the internet? The way normal humans do? The

It's fascinating that the driving force here was human-driven capitalism enabled by enhanced data collection, and not data-driven decision making at all. It's risk-aversion that's draining art of its artistry, much like the e

I think a lot of doomerism over AI making everyone stupid is really overestimating how many people have good critical thinking skills today. I've worked in high skill engineering domains for nearly twenty years now and even well-accomp

Could not get past the multiple paragraphs of strawman nonsense. Here, let me summarize: The counts of the indictment are luxury, bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect to elders, and a love for chatter in place of exercise. … Chil

It's not peculiar at all because obviously those things are harmless, and that conclusion is harmful to the administration's political agenda, so why even research it when a foregone conclusion is readily available?
