"Musk set up OpenAI as an OPEN SOURCE NON PROFIT because he is paranoid about AI."
OpenAI was set up as a nonprofit by numerous people, stop trying to pull a Tesla and turn Musk into the sole founder.
And then technology just froze. No sensor components got cheaper. Computer vision stopped, as a field. Multimodal AI didnâ(TM)t get invented. Robotic hand technology development stopped. Robotic planning and error recovery did not progress. Time just froze, after McDonalds ended its robotic program.
I mean maybe he's right, but I would always take with a grain of salt a software package creator's opinion on how awesome his software package is.
You'd think an experienced speaker would be able to adapt to the crowd.
What's the appeal on losing money to those with inside information?
Huh, haven't seen a change in my Pro subscription. Though I hit the weekly model limit -- if that's not changing then it's not really a big deal.
Makes sense, Gamestop became a weird used goods store a while ago.
Doesn't weightlessness make fires much less dangerous, since heat no longer rises and can't suck in the oxygen they need?
I am not 100% sure. IIRC (from reading it somewhere) I think it makes it worse because the fire spreads and acts like a liquid.
We will never truly know how many dimensions the Chess game has.
It's quite practical to build completely fireproof homes. Some Californians do, which proves the rest can do that too.
Californian's are only at the beginning of their experience with eucalyptus trees, which are native to Australia. You're quite right, it's possible to build bushfire ( I think the US calls them wildfires) resistant homes. In Australia there are specific assessment and building requirements for a home likely to be affected by fire called BAL and I think you also have to get a planning permit
I had the experience of my neighborhood having a bushfire go through it. I realized how few people know just how terrifying the situation is when they asked "can't you just put it out with a garden hose?".
Not quite, the flames were 4-6 stories high, when it hit my neighborhood 18 houses burned down in about as many minutes. Generally a bush fire will have embers fly a few kilometres ahead of it, which is where you can try to stop it. The really bad ones create their own weather which looks like a firestorm and the worst ones creates a fire tornado, which is basically a small tornado throwing the stuff burning in it around.
This fire was stopped from getting my house by an empty block of land and a chopper hitting it with 10 tons of water. High BAL houses survived next to houses that were burning and have things like sprinkler systems on the roof that extinguish embers. However even if your house doesn't burn, the heat melts curtains to the glass, paint peels off interior walls.
You have no idea it's coming sometimes, we got about 5 minutes notice to evacuate, people literally escaped their homes with what they were wearing. I prepare my house for bushfires by cutting back the garden and we have go bags with clothes and important documents. I still have more to do though.
Fortunately there wasn't a loss of human life, lots of people pets panicked, ran before their owners could grab them and died - few people saw that coming. My poor neighbor, came home from breakfast with his wife to see his house on fire, they lost everything. My neighborhood is a ghost town now, people I've know for a long time just gone and it's a special kind of fucked to watch their houses being taken away in a skip bin.
If this thing helps even a little, I'd use it.
... more proof that Kubrick and Aldrin faked the moon landing.
Using it to fight fires in space might become a good application of this. I remember experimenting with 100 watts of 100Hz at about meter made it difficult to breath, however that was easy to hear.
Say it with me, now. As we all know, the infamous saying goes:

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER
MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION
It's really incredible how marketing departments can radiate amnesia like this with such proficiency.
There are decades of studies showing therapeutic uses for psychedelics. There is no legitimate excuse for keeping say LSD as a schedule 1 drug.
