this is just click bait.
everyone knows these models are not good at actual gameplay nor is it news that they will confidently mis-state stuff. it wasn't news on the first round it's still not news, and it misses the point that there is a Ton of stuff that humans currently do which the models will do cheaper.

was ist, rigs ?

if you're asking for the source code then you haven't been paying attention.

read the first page or so of the paper.
it's clear that 1) in each request they're providing the model with a history of the conversation. this is standard practice. 2) they're also using the API's feature "tools" (also known as "functions") to provide the model with channels of agency. for example the model would be told "use the 'cmd' tool to execute a bash command".

wait so it's just a general purpose LLM given some reading material and asked to make predictions ? failure there is not very interesting. i'd be way more interested in a custom-trained network for horse betting.

the ionizing radiation which causes shortwave radio blackouts does. CMEs, no.

each letter is 10x the letter before.

solar flares often do launch CMEs (coronal mass ejections), but all of these three did not. Aside from a partial shortwave radio blackout right after each one, the effect on earth is expected to be minimal. no special auroras even.

the summary of the article is that someone claiming to be a current boeing employee posted a whistleblowey account on a forum which says that boeing's own internal documentation system points strongly to the bolts (which are not the primary load-bearing item holding the door plug in place) having never been installed.

major solar storms come from earth-facing coronal mass ejections, and take about three days to travel the distance from the sun to earth. the exact moment of arrival is unknown until it's about half an hour away tho. so it's true we only have a little bit of time of accurate warning but we also have about three days of rough warning.

some solar storms are surprises, arriving at the 30-minute outpost unexpectedly, without any correlated CME. but those are minor ones.

just visit spaceweather.com once a day to get the skinny on current events.

the argument here in favor of this universe being a simulation is "information complexity in this universe seems to tend to decrease, which is kind of sort of like a computer cleaning up disk space, so probably we're in a simulation" ?

not to be alarmist but we're clearly in the start of an existential crisis for human creativity. ask it to tell you a story about something. ask it to answer basic tech-screen software interview questions. ask it to write an essay on a topic.

It does really good.

together with visual generation like dall-e and craiyon, and bearing in mind that these are baby versions available for free to the public, what does all this mean for the value of human creativity ?

we were in a similar situation at the advent of photography, and that worked out fine, so there's that. but i'm worried.

I am far from sufficiently informed, but a thought that comes to my mind is this whole thing is to large degree an exercise on Russia's part to see what needs fixing in the army for some other action.

this is a great outcome. I'm super happy for Wardle.

it's so frustrating to see this whole crypto thing be as successful as it is with basically zero discussion of environmental impact at the high level.
a bitcoin seems like basically 'proof of harm'.
this seems fixable, but nobody big seems to give a hoot.
