> So if Canada tries to make friends with anyone other than the US, it's a hostile act?

If your ex starts dating your best friend directly after breakup, would you consider it a hostile act?

This caps the amount of CO2 you can emit; which is good :)

Idk, to me it looks like the German green party is very anti Russian...

Any 2x or 3x cost for the same thing is uncompetitive in a free market.

Is this sarcasm or do you still live in the 1980s?

Slowly?

You are confusing cause and effect imho.

Most people today are too aligned. Like they want the models to be also.

If you have a robot doing household work you can spend more time at work /S

I could collapse big bridges with relatively little effort with my knowledge in statics and engineering.

It was the foundation of science that information is shared and you can find papers and patents for a lot of dangerous stuff.

Of course with LLMs it's easier, but I don't think the difference is too big. You would still need some skills to follow through.

Yet I bake my own bread because the "bread" you can buy isn't bread.

Its not a smart calculation to poison yourself and live shorter just because it is convenient and less work in the short term.

If anything the bread paradox should describe that it is very easy to fool 90% of the population. Eat shit and then inject ozempic. Double win... for the industry

A lot of people try to get good at chess. If someone manages to become world class he is likely very intelligent.

The state has a monopoly on all kinds of violence you listed. If it wouldn't you would either end up in civil war or a failed state with local warlords.

Also LLMs are mainly used for work and if you can spend 6 digits on watches your likely financially independent.

Most people can't afford 6 digits for hardware that deprecates in a couple of years.

> Novel unified architecture: No multimodal encoders. The vision and audio inputs flow directly into the LLM backbone.

I would be interested in how this actually works. I couldn't find a description of the model architecture (and I did check the links in the Google blog)

SQL is not an imperative programming language.

Since Codd's paper showed that the relational model dominates other approaches (for data storage) I would expect a paper that shows categorical database are not affected by this and what benefit they have.

Tell me you never had a crazy thought and you are either a lier or a psychopath.

"Know your place" is what came to my mind when I looked at this.

I get that they think about going away from the combustion engine, but as a manufacturer of insanely expensive, loud and overpowerd sports car this doesn't make sense.

It's like if I as a software dev would be worried about the future market and suddenly advertise myself as a psychologist in search for clients.

It was always only a suggestion to the compiler, to hold this variable in a register.

Compilers got so good at optimization that there is little point using it.

If a variable is held in a register you can't access it with a pointer. So if your intention is it should be in a register you can't take the address.

It can be nuclear powered, so you don't have CO2 emmisions /S

You just need to add heat to the air at the point where the diameter is the lowest.

The russians are maybe using this idea for one of their new cruise missles named Burevestnik, although for them the nuclear emmisions are likely a positive side effect.

Owning 500g is enough to get someone hanged. A proof of trafficking or selling is not necessary.

It is exactly as I said. Please don't spread misinformation.

Singapore also hangs people for possessing weed.

Definitely the fish stinks from the head.

I'm also a bit confused about how the people on the top think this will play out.

A long time ago there was a french saying "noblesse oblige", or the german pendant "Wohlstand verpflichtet".

I still enjoy the things that are not overtaken by big tech (although it isn't much). Anna's archive and streaming niche movies.

I miss the old forums the most. The group mind on Reddit is just regression to the mean.

The rest I tried to cut back as much as possible for my own mental health.

I can't get of YouTube completly even though most of the time I hate myself after doom scrolling. Sometimes I still find genuinely interesting stuff there.

This is something I want to try. Does the time where the mind stays in the present before it strays away increase when you practice this?

Lasers controlled by AI computer vision?

Both can be totalitarian. Both are shit imho. I just don't buy the argument that China is worse because of it.

But if we start nitpicking the US also executes people all over the world without trial and has secret prisons worldwide where they put people (guess what) without trial.
