One is an ad medium, the other isn't. But it really depends not only on the presentation theme but also on the data set itself and that varies by region. I'm sure that there are still places where the sources Google is buying are

None, in the months (sometimes years) it spends switched off (off, not standby) between print jobs. It's a quarter of a century old and I can still get replacement cartridges when I need them.

I very much agree, the status quo is not sustainable. But I really don't believe that the solution is trying to one-up China in whatever they are doing, or the USA, for that matter.

It might be a minor contributor, but it sure isn't the reason. If you do do much admire economic success through suffering, can I assume that you have relocated to China? (mainland) Because they sure know a thing or two about that...

Or in other words: there's a big difference between public domain and copyleft and it looks like whoever came up with the asbestos analogy was underestimating that difference.

Needs a little more precision: not "those with an equity stake": those with a disproportionally large equity stake. Otherwise it's just an opener for the old excuse of "they might be ruining your life, but it's al

"Our models are so good they are banned by the government" I don't see any way how releasing an incrementally better model could get even close to the positive PR. For every Mythos token not sold because of this they'll

I call them ransom futures. But given how many of the ransom situations that are started with "give us N amount of crypto X!" I suspect being resolved entirely in conventional money, through some subcontractor chain of decreasingl

Yeah, there are clavicle fractures that clearly don't need any surgery, but when in doubt, always slap on some titanium. Just try to get rid of the plate before the next fracture opportunity, because then you'll get an AC joint se

The key service performed by a cycling helmet is not turning a death situation into a permanently maimed situation (they do that, but that's a very rare occurrence), it's turning a life changing injury situation into a situation o

Not only easier finding call sites than finding copies, also more intuitive to start looking. "Which callers will be affected by the change?" is the most natural question to ask. "Which places should have this same change app

Why pretend? "private" on value types just means nothing to see here except when you happen to be one of the functions conveniently namespaced with the struct. But I'd say that GP's complaint about inequality leaking mak

Value types are a concept very far away from the "magic black box organism" school of OOP thinking. It's not a novel way of doing classic OOP (does anyone still do that?), it's a way for a language born in OOP ideology g

I had similar thoughts, but regarding fiction: I imagine that there must be quite a corpus of Tom Clancy style stuff indulging in "military gear porn" up to and including the use of tactical nukes, but fiction involving strategic

I believe that it's more nuanced than that (this is from the context of German regulations): In the old days, reflectors and diffractors were rather crude and light distribution wasn't even at all. Regulation was setting a light i

Looks very much like the only chance of that ever happening now is if someone established a separate league that only allows naturally conceived horses.

by usrusr 4mo ago
Instead of requiring each session to understand the n tools used to solve a particular problem, you bundle up the solution in a conventional script (that's what I meant by "can", as in canning) that the agent can use with ver

I think that what they mean is that instead of ten perfectly orthogonal "unix philosophy" tools (skills) for the agent to compose when solving a problem, each with an API surface (description text) the size of Texas, you'd wa

Is that so surprising? I thought that was a given. And as soon as remote resources are involved, the old "it's in a docker" peace of mind does not apply.

Read about it back then in what might best be described as a kid's annual hardcover magazine and loved it so much (a few years later they had a long article about the Porsche 959, it's almost a tie for me). "Das Neue Universu

Do you find it hard to max out, or do you find it hard to productively max out? It's like paying drivers per gallon of fuel consumed and then acting all surprised that you see them revving their engine while waiting at a red light.

Same thoughts exactly. I wonder if Google is aware of its identity crisis? Even long after "don't be evil", Google was still "we earn so much from a healthy web that making the web a healthy one is almost a straight forw
