Turning the link purple to go to the report, then following that link to the actual study, you can look at those concerns.

Oddly enough, the post-doc researchers at University College London doing research in behavioral science and psychiatry, published through Oxford University, do indeed answer the questions.

The paper shows is something they noticed and want to investigate further, presented as "the first evidence" not a final conclusion. They started from the UK Household Longitudinal Study data, data going back to 1991 and publicly available to any registered researcher, and cross checked against a few others with related sampling information. They looked at ages from 16 to 90, marital status, children, education level, employment status, household income, area deprivation index (living in poor areas to rich areas) and reported disabilities.

My friend has a fancy hearing aid, and it has a setting where it focuses in on the voice of the person he is looking at. I think it's even called party mode. It cancels most noises except for the closest person his head is aimed at. He can tweak the sensitivity to the point he can clearly hear people talking from several tables away at a noisy restaurant, if he looks directly at the speaker.

it is more profitable to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission

They spent a lot of time and money making sure CUDA worked right. For a while AMD's compute API wasn't backwards *or* forwards compatible. You had to do some rewriting and a recompile every time a new API was released.

Intel has gone through three completely different, and mostly incompatible, hardware stacks. Remember Phi? Altera? Now it's AVX for some compute tasks, and Xe for other tasks.

My very first PC build was a 486 built out of pulled parts from the computer lab where I worked. My first real DIY build was a K62-300 with a Matrox G200 video card. Ran every bit as good as my friend's P2 at half the price.

It's all statistical connections between words. It's not a conceptual model. There is no understanding of morality, ethics, or basic reason or logic. The only way to fix it is to bolt stuff on after training.

Also, you need an enormous dataset to get enough useful weighting for the model to work. For example, they didn't use chat logs because they wanted to, but because they needed the training data to get the models to function. They are still looking for more. You could prune back sources, but the models will perform worse.

Came here to say this. There is a *lot* of garbage in podcast land. The handful I listen to have been around for over ten years. I haven't heard a new one interesting enough to subscribe to in, probably, five or six years.

Coding is not development. AI can code. It cannot develop. For more information go back to the developers using AI to write a C compiler in Rust. It took a significant amount of developer effort. They didn't do a lot of coding beyond unit tests, but there was a whole lot of manual development work going on.

come to California.
5th largest economy on this planet.
public transportation is a punch line.
and there is so much more

Everyone wants roads near their house. If you don't have a road going to your house then your house is worthless. Once the government has a right of way for a road, expanding the road might be expensive, but it doesn't get the whole community involved in a series of lawsuits.

The only people that want to live near the train tracks, on the other hand, are the people out in the middle of the California desert that would love to have a way to easily get to the parts of California that aren't a wasteland. In the nice parts of California, every home owner within visual distance of the proposed route has hired a lawyer and vowed to fight the tracks to the death.

This means that California has built a tiny bit of tracks out in the middle of nowhere (near Bakersfield but not in Bakersfield). It also means that every single foot from this point on is likely to get even more astronomically expensive. The homeowners involved know that houses that are far enough away from the tracks so that their home value doesn't plummet are going to get a windfall as their prime real estate will become even more valuable with decent public transit. The rail system is going to be a serious amenity eventually. The homeowners near the tracks, on the other hand, are going to see a serious drop to their net worth. Everyone in California wants more light rail, but only if it doesn't go through their neighborhood.

It could easily be that California real estate is simply too expensive in this day and age for something like this to be built.

This is an incredible hack. And I just resurrected my father-in-law's Compaq Armada P3 laptop and it's looking for something to do...

Lack of hardware virtualization shouldn't be a problem as Windows 9x lets you do almost anything. Heck you can change addressing modes, which is verboten in WinNT+.

I diddled some children, so you're fired.

Compare the code, if it's similar then Claude is relying on stuff it's been trained on. If not, it's generating novel code that does the same thing.

They were government-required audit logs, tied to user accounts (21 CFR Part 11) The underlying feature is un-ban-able. We asked the companies for them so we could figure out the adoption rates of new features. Most companies didn't care. We didn't do anything else with the data.

Unfortunately that industry lobbiests got their hands on the politicians.

It has a *TON* of loopholes. The biggest loophole is all they need to do is start including these words in their disclosures: "THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM OR BY USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA." Just make sure it is included in the webpage along with all the other terms and conditions, and they can do all they want.
