Obviously they are not talking about the difference between the two browsers, but between the two situations. Your post looks like you chose the least charitable interpretation in order to pick a fight.

Recent claims that current LLMs pass the Turing test seem to be wildly exaggerated.

historically, "gaining unauthorized access" IS the second meaning.

Best in class chess program actually is a NN, just not a LLM.

I think you are beating a somewhat dead cow here. systemd wars are over. It's in most mainstream systems nowadays, but there are also lots of cool projects out there doing different things. Everything's fine, nobody wants to go into those old pro and con flame wars any more.

While you could argue that it's flooring, it feels much more like truncating. We have a inner representation of time that's like yyyymmdd-hhmmss-mmmm and we truncate it to the precision we need for a given task. If we need the month we truncate to yyyymm, and if we need hours we truncate to yyyymmdd-hh.

That's quit intuitive for all kind of time precision, and the author's rounding solution would be somewhat counterintuitive, at least for me.

what's wrong with uBlock Origin on mobile? (available in Firefox)

You claim that a 14% or even a 50% reduction of emissions would make no impact. Well, current climate research suggests differently:

- no reduction: > +4ºC by 2100 - 50% reduction: +2ºC by 2100

And those are two very different worlds we are talking about here.

So no, my comment is spot on: you say that, because current CO2 levels can't be undone, there is no difference between allowing this level to raise indiscriminately and trying to keep it at bay. It looks like you are caught in some kind of thought trap you can't get out of, and you feel like you stepped out of the matrix. Be careful, there is no matrix. It was only a movie.

So we burned a pile of wood and now everyone in the warehouse is having a bad time. Some people in the warehouse say: please stop burning piles of wood, we need what's left from the air for breathing. But you say: nah, can't clean it up, so it's fine let's just keep burning more piles of wood.

This is satire right?

This is bullshit. We, humanity, made a HUGE dent just in the last few decades, albeit in the wrong direction warming up our planet to dangerous levels. So we can't revert it back? Everybody knows that already, and that's not what it's all about. It's not about going back to previous levels, it's about damage control and keeping things at some survivable level, instead of burning it all to ashes within the next few decades.

So please don't make braindead, dangerous and lazy arguments that we can't make a difference. We are making a difference. We have to stop making a difference if we want to survive.

yes but LLM illegal moves often are not chessy at all. A chessy illegal move for instance would be trying to move a rook when you don't notice that it's between your king and an attacking bishop. LLMs would often happily play Ba4 when there's no bishop anywhere near a square from where it could reach that square, or even no bishop at all. That's not chessy, that's just weird.

I have to admit it's been a while since I played chatgpt so maybe it improved.

Your numbers are way off (at least for Europe). Panels are 580 W peak now and cost < €150. Battery < €1000 per kWh. Prices still dropping.

sure. just make sure to pay them what their land is worth... with the lithium below.

This story has a very bad smell of urban legend/history rewriting on it. I don't say it is, but without good sources (for instance good investigative journalism by renowned journalists and backed by leaked documents) the stink doesn't go away. Just to say it "transpired" doesn't suffice. Where are the sources and references for the story you tell?

I wasn't talking about riddles, I was talking about real world. Suddenly something is just a little bit different and if you miss the change you fail. There's plenty of that in real world.

> if you don't spot the change you fail

But that's exactly how real world works too.

The use of the word reasoning here... OpenAI sounds like a company that created a frog which jumps higher and greater distances than the previous breed - and now they try to sell it as one step further toward flying.

yeah now imagine another engineer go "my first bridge just fell apart the first time a real truck tried to cross over it lol" or "man my first plane crashed so hard"...

s/believe/know

The article says it also works in some languages without a writing system.

> patterns will eventually repeat

I know that theory, but isn't this a non sequitur?

let's image an infinite universe with only two possible patterns. isn't it perfectly conceivable that pattern 1 occurs only once and pattern 2 infinitely often?

edit: ok, "patterns will eventually repeat" is obviously true, what I meant is that "ALL patterns will eventually repeat" does not necessarily follow - which is implicit in the parallel universes thought experiment.

A plane is good at hauling cargo and goes fast, but general flying skills? Doesn't even come close.

Also make donation opt-out instead of opt-in because most people don't care either way and with opt-out those who actually care have to take measures and not the other way around. That's how it works here in my and in many other European countries.

No, you won't trigger a loss of trust if you do it the right way. This year, my 7-yr-old, for the first time in his life, asked me clear questions about Santa and all this stuff (we had more of that going on). Having been asked a clear question, I of course gave him a clear answer.

First he was sad - he liked the world of Santa, little gnomes hiding sweets for him in the woods when we were out hiking, things like that. But my clear answers just confirmed the suspicions he already brought home from school.

Then we talked about how this was a nice game adults and older kids play for the younger ones - and he got that immediately, kids inherently understand (and like) role playing games. So now he's in the role of those who know and play the game for the younger kids in our broader family - and he's proud of it :)

Before that happened, I actually was afraid and unsure about how to get out of this storyline without breaching trust. But it all played out smoothly.

They have to realize that the language model did it's job just fine. It produced a convincing piece of well-formed language that fits the context window. If they wanted knowledge instead, they should have used a knowledge model.

"being an intergenerational refugee" is one of the most absurd problems that exist in this conflict. Nobody should be a refugee just because their grandparents were. They should be plain citizens of whatever region they were born in.

If we extrapolate this stance to other past conflicts, we'd have today tens of millions of German "intergenerational" refugees sitting in Germany and waiting for their return to their home a few miles away, across the Oder river.

Yet modern EV cars and ICE cars have similar range autonomy without carrying batteries worth 20x the weight of gasoline, due to the abyssal efficiency of combustion engines which produce mostly heat.

Newton law once explained everything human observation could see. It was perfect then and still is perfect today for subliminal speed. String theory never succeeded to explain any observation whatsoever. So this looks like an unfair comparison to me. Unfair for Newton.

I call BS

Yeah this is a made-up story so obvious for anyone who spent any time whatsoever programming against those exchanges... Please don't upvote just to keep your replies on the top...
