Sure, but neither did I. I summarized the quote, but OP's full quote included the the value of having the work artifacts and works-in-progress on your system to look at. If you are developing software on a VM, there will still be tools

>GPT Work runs on your own machines...is sort of the whole point. Which is also why they want to remove it from your machine. Call it conspiratorial, but I keep thinking about "You'll own nothing and be happy." It seems li

I think you're exhibiting a bunch of bias. The world's largest ad company purchasing a smartphone operating system to continue to collect information on their users to continue powering their ad network? Apple technology is not &q

Yet people put hundreds of hours into their favorite video games and story-based games are still doing really well. WoW puts 95% of the game at max level requiring players to invest dozens of hours just for table stakes. A well designed MMO

Giving private businesses the monopoly on violence seems like a great idea ;p What happens to the business when it isn't small anymore? What does that accountability even look like? Paperwork isn't accountability. I agree that det

So then what will the government due about supplying their military, offices, supplying technology, constructing the buildings that they work out of, purchasing or renting the land those buildings are on, or any other of the material goods

How is communism self-serving when, you said it yourself, the main concept is assigning resources to everyone?

How is that not No True Scotsman? You disagree with the outcome of the described libertarian structures so it can't be actual libertarianism? The government is inevitably going to do business with the market. Where do you draw the line

Remember Cambridge Analytica and PRISM? I don't think it's unrealistic for state or another party to be taking the decades of data on individuals they have and feeding it into their large hyperscale data centers and using the plat

It's a rebuttal in the same way that saying the Vulcans in Star Trek use AI in their classrooms. Star Trek is a fictional story in a fictional universe that doesn't have to follow the laws and rules of science, society, reality, e

They can, but I don't think we are there yet. No need to sending taxpayer dollars to silicon valley on educating the next generation using a new technology that hasn't proven itself in education yet.

Lost a bit of respect for the EFF with this. I can understand their dogmatism around not wanting to limit anyone’s electronic freedoms, but these are social media companies we are talking about. They aren’t there to provide a public service

Thanks for developing scc! Regarding LOCOMO I have a fork that calculates an estimate based on # of commits * price per task according to Artificial Analysis benchmarks for a given model, and includes a simple overhead multiplier to pad out

Zyn is freebase nicotine which does show some signs of being performance enhancing; mostly around focus. There are a lot of people with unmedicated ADHD self-medicating with Zyn, or vapes, or smoking due to the this.

Fun fact: the stress that smoking cigarettes relieves is only the stress caused by the addiction/relapse from nicotine. Surely, there might be some placebo effects going on, but nicotine is not a stress relieving chemical. So really it

If he doesn’t do it someone else will. Also, I’m sure Peter Thiel being one of his first major investors has something to do with it.

What's a bummer is that Walter is a smart and talented engineer, yet has a very stubborn and out of touch economic perspective that is at least half a century expired. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Bright

Body weight is controllable, but is not the same thing as obesity, but scientific evidence does not suggest obesity is voluntary, but I'm not trying to talk about obesity. I was just merely using it as a proxy for societal health, beca

It makes sense. The ~$10 someone saves pumping at Costco is easily made up in the >$100 shopping trip they are making, or compared to lifetime spend.

It is way too early to tell. If we are comparing to web browsers we are in the early 90s with Netscape, IE, Firefox, etc. I don't even think we are at the point where agent's have a metaphorical JavaScript, we are that early. The

What is being absorbed into weights is tool usage. It is incredibly counterproductive to train models on a specific harness, when instead it can be trained to reason about the tools that it has available to itself and how to best use those

Yes. We seek answers to why we feel so different or out of place socially living in a society. It has nothing to do with reminding ourselves of our shortcomings (although some do find humor in self-deprecation), but with the ways that socie

Non sequitur and false equivalence. Men being disadvantaged in the justice system doesn't inherently make it matriarchal. Absolutely absurd point to bring up to deflect on racial injustices.
