And your response is, "don't look up!"

Tell me why you think animators in the West deserve exclusivity in creating anime.

Oh, I thought Stalin died from a stroke. But I like your version better.

People want to keep using air travel. And if making them (us) pay for carbon sequestration to offset the jet fuel burned renders it carbon-neutral, why not?

seems to be a problem for a univariate measure.

Does that come up in chess?

In "Infinite Jest," (1996) David Foster Wallace recounts a fictional history of video phones in which people eventually quit using them because people couldn't resist the temptation to increasingly embellish their appearance until it was all fictional and served no purpose.

This particular code might not be, since they're not releasing it due to the risk (certainty) of abuse.

But wow, this is so much better than I've ever seen in a video game. Combined with the ability to generate faces indistinguishable from real, NPCs are about to take a massive leap forward.

Even without a totally different sort of compute resource, I think algorithmic development (steady, or sudden) may very well reduce the compute required by 99% or more. The fact that EVERY parameter, reflecting ALL knowledge about EVERYTHING on the internet, is used every time for generating each and every word (token)... that can't be necessary. Mixture of experts models (or something) will fix this.

It's partly just age. Remember, the boomers had quite a radical streak in the 1960's.

Where do they differ with respect to how he would manage google? (Not disagreeing, I know very little about Indian culture other than the history of the caste system, but then again we have a "history" of slavery, doesn't mean an American boss is a slave driver).

I value the ability to upload heart rate data to Garmin and the privacy concern is manageable. For the foreseeable future, any brain data they are able to read will be at about that level of precision - I suppose it can do a better of job of quantifying the quality of your sleep. But it's not reading your thoughts.

I can't see most of the article, but I can see in the picture that it's a vtol aircraft (with an airfoil) not a quadcopter. So, that helps.

Compared to a helicopter, with a turbine engine and a long blade, this would have a very different noise profile with 4 electric motors each spinning a propeller. Hopefully not as loud? Or at least not at the low, long-traveling "thud thud thud" frequency of a helo?

I agree with you, AI inbreeding is one of those fairly clever intuitive insights that somebody has and which subsequently gets way too much attention in the next few years.

I would add that while the first generation LLM's were trained on crowdsourced data from the web, as LLM's have more real-world applications they will learn from the data they observe in their own "first-person" experience. Like how Telsa uploads training data from cars using FSD (misnomer that it is).

I'm really surprised 8GB are still even made, but also that 8GB still costs a whole $20. Not having shopped for a computer for several years, 8GB was the standard low-end configuration back then. It seems progress has ceased.

Yeah it looks like it nearly leveled off about 2010. That's about when I remember 16 GB being a pretty decent / normal configuration.

Made me curious if there aren't nations with no military.

enjoy

Interestingly Panama is one of them. After getting rid of Noriega they decided having a military was a bigger risk than not. No US military bases, either.

The federal government of the USA is, as well its role in the world, is of course a bit different.
