Apparently, "safeguards" mean "don't let the AI say something that hurts feels" rather than "don't let the AI act in a manner that is dangerous and unlawful." I say this because, apparently, Anthropic's systems have been leveraged by nation state actors for hacking campaigns (though details of this are minimal and read like marketing spiel about how awesome their tools are rather than giving information on what actually happened).
Agreed he's truly despicable. I'll also agree with dangerous as anyone who has that much money is dangerous by definition. There is nothing wrong with my understanding of ethics or principle. I also think SpaceX succeeds in spite of Musk and not because of him.
With all of that said, I fail to see how anyone's proclivities or politics play into whether or not a company they own will succeed at any given objective. I'd further argue that if you believe that someone is dangerous, you're fucking stupid if you pretend that they cannot achieve things that are clearly within their (demonstrated) capability to achieve, and the only thing you accomplish is convincing people they're less dangerous than they are.
Rust [...] makes it harder for you to work around the compiler when it comes to memory.
... which, to be clear, is a good thing. Working around the compiler is dangerous and a code smell, so it shouldn't be something that is easy to do. It usually indicates that either the compiler's capabilities aren't sufficient to meet your needs (in which case, a better solution would be either a better compiler, or to re-evaluate the wisdom of your approach), or that you are doing something the wrong way and should find a way to do it that works with the compiler, rather than around it, so that you get the benefits of the compiler's co-operation.
How many times have people been told to use the Oxford comma and still get it wrong?
Even worse, the use of lists without the Oxford comma is showing up more and more in publications who should know better, creating wording or joins the author never intended.
If this software is just now getting punctuation correct after several years of trying, it's doing just as well as humans.
They have an all-in-one package from Verizon. Phone, internet, and tv. It is well over $100/month. Cutting out tv would get them just below that amount.
When I gave up cable well over a decade ago price was the reason. I couldn't justify the yearly cost increases when I was only watching ten or so channels on a regular basis.
My parents still do though my dad keeps questioning if he wants it any longer. They don't watch much any more and the cost is out of hand.
What they do is spend two hours or so every night watching YT videos of places around the world or watching shows about this or that subject.
Also unsure how "fastidious" can be used as a description of a virus.
TIL that the archaic definition of "fastidious," based on the original latin root, is "disgusting" or "disagreeable." Which, to be fair, is a label I would apply to a virus that causes something as horrible as Lupus.
When the next Democratic president waves their hand you can be sure the Supreme Court will do its duty and say that waving is not part of presidential powers and block whatever it is they want to do.
They are not returning Starships back to Earth and reusing them.....hell I have doubts they'll be able to land it in one piece at all.
The most recent test proved capability of doing this.
Elon is a tool and a con man, but I never understood the hate boner people have for SpaceX.
