I don't see any reason not to trust the Autobots, lets just put it charge of everything then!

The Cloudflare captchas just loop back to themselves for me on over 90% of sites that use them. But a few work.

I believe they're selling an anti-adblock service to sites, and pretending everybody is blocked for a different reason, through creative categorization.

The internet was created by the military to allow university researchers to collaborate on weapon research.

The heat and the light are not physically different things. If the light is absorbed, then the object that absorbed it was heated by that amount of energy.

If the heat escaped, that would mean the light was reflected, and it wouldn't be black, it would be white. (Or a mirror, depending on how consistent the angle of reflection is)

No. Any other questions?

It has nothing to do with small cars that the dealers will refuse to sell, it is about rolling back the crash safety standards.

Even after all these years of this shit, Americans are still to stupid to see a bait-and-switch staring them in the face. There is little hope for the future.

Yeah, it's not even worth considering for something like 15-20kg. A full pallet in this case is 464kg :) Years worth of supply for me.

The current "AI" is a predictive engine.

And *you* are a predictive engine as well; prediction is where the error metric for learning comes from. (I removed the word "search" from both because neither work by "search". Neither you nor LLMs are databases)

It looks at something and analyzes what it thinks the result should be.

And that's not AI why?

AI is, and has always been, the field of tasks that are traditionally hard for computers but easy for humans. There is no question that these are a massive leap forward in AI, as it has always been defined.

It is absolutely crazy that we are all very very soon going to lose access to electricity

Calm down. Total AI power consumption (all forms of AL, both training and inference) for 2025 will be in the ballpark of 50-60TWh. Video gaming consumes about 350TWh/year, and growing. The world consumes ~25000 TWh/yr in electricity. And electricity is only 1/5th of global energy consumption.

AI datacentres are certainly a big deal to the local grid where they're located - in the same way that any major industry is a big deal where it's located. But "big at a local scale" is not the same thing as "big at a global scale." Just across the fjord from me there's an aluminum smelter that uses half a gigawatt of power. Such is industry.

That "ruler study" was ancient. It's mentioned in peer review at least as early as 2018, and might be even older.

Believe it or not, people in the field are familiar with these sorts of things that you just read about.

Most of these new AI tools have gained their new levels of performance by incorporating Transformers in some form or another, in part or in whole. Transformers is the backend of LLMs.

Even in cases where Transformers isn't used these days, often it's imitated. For example, the top leaderboards in vision models are a mix of ViTs (Vision Transformers) and hybrids (CNN + transformers), but there are still some "pure CNNs" that are high up. But the best performing "pure CNNs" these days use techniques modeled after what Transformers is doing, e.g. filtering data with an equivalent of attention and the like.

The simple fact is that what enabled LLMs is enabling most of this other stuff too.

Jevons Intensifies

And the evidential basis for the truth of this claim is...

hmm...

wait a second...

That sounds awfully like a completely unverifiable conjecture with literally no possible way to be based on observable fact, but conveniently explains away that you're totally wrong when presented with things that are observable facts.

Weird. I'm sure glad our entire political discourse isn't constantly centered around those kinds of claims, it'd be really tiring.

You and I aren't particularly vibing lately, but I appreciate that link- that was cool as shit, and educational.

How do you end up with Mecha-Hitlers? Is that just natural understanding of that data, SS-Schütze?
