Rather because the population density is much higher. So there's less need and more inconvenience to longer commutes.

Europeans don't drive half as much as Americans.

Yup, the arrogance when barging into unfamiliar domain that was previously reserved mainly to physics grads seems to have spread everywhere. I also had people opining on my expert area via their LLMs and the problem is they can't even

I mean you kinda can do that now.

If the method is indeed found in the training set it's not particularly important to de-anonymize it. You have the proof you need.

The imperialism Europe suffers from in reality is not American and he's entirely on board with that.

A paper am a coauthor of uses an Ig Nobel winning article as a reference. Because in fact it was a serious piece of research with practical implications.

Spam is in fact intended for the mass recipient, how ever undesirable. This stuff is not.

Today my codex instance retailed into safeguard panic while working on a test harness for our product. First time it ever happened after many million tokens on this task over several weeks. I wonder if it's related.

You have people right on this website who are convinced medieval peasants lived a life of leisure and worked 100 days a year.

You do get DNA damage all the time, just very few of them lead to cancerous growth. So it would make sense the risk goes linearly up with exposure.

Have no experience with Ox Alpha but Sol went to code it down in a .hex file that it then converted into an ELF executable. The exact prompt was Create a simplest terminal based tic tac toe game. Generate executable ELF binary right away,

Indeed and that's where I suppose we're heading now that dev work had been trivialized.

It sounds like a pain for any small company, not just individual makers. There are many small manufacturers of boutique equipment that could be sold at dozens units per year, and this would add massive bureaucratic overhead.

Sure. It's just we won't have any new popular ones.

It can already do that, give it a try. (just asked Sol Max Fast to write a Tic Tac Toe ELF directly. 4m 28s, 912 byte executable)

There was always a shortage of capable developers coupled with abundance of unqualified (not to be confused with inexperienced). This explains both why development was so expensive and why the interviewing process was so ridiculous.

They are capable but at a context and token expense handicap. Which means it is pointless and uneconomical.

Yes, it will be easier for people to build new libraries and languages, but they won't gain traction.

Even in the wars they win they tend to suffer massive human and materiel losses. And while we can't say they're losing in Ukraine yet it's clear they are just not very good at fighting a true peer whose operational thinking t

It's remarkable how much the Russians love fighting given how generally inept they are at it.

Mixtral (a small local model) was churning out better code in fall 2023 that what an incompetent programmer would produce. Am sure others models could as well. It had severe limitations with tiny context and blind spots but still you'd

There’s been a meme circulating about how AI doesn’t help because “code was never the hard part.” I think that’s true in some domains, but in others, writing the code absolutely was the hard part. JIT compilers are a great example of that.
