They’re common in clouds like Azure, AWS, etc. Life is better with ssh, but sometimes these are useful for bastions.

Looks like anodized aluminium. Maybe something like this.

Yeah, a good idea. You run into some material strength issues, but I think this is the way.

Here is a great video on spin gravity. It covers an important detail that another comment mentions but most over look. Spinning fast enough to create gravity-like centrifugal force causes real dizziness at small diameters. 5 or 6 rpm is about the maximum we can stand.

Sort of person that says “and a half” after their age.

I’m not saying it is a good value, just that it is one of the features. So just before a flight you can click download on a bunch of videos on your devices. That can be done otherwise, but not quite as simply on mobile devices as one click.

If I say “A screwdriver is a tool,” and “The brain is a tool,” am I then saying “The brain is just like a screwdriver”? Or is it possible that applying seconding order logic to an admittedly and clearly reductive statement I made isn’t productive?

And which part of the brain description is inaccurate, specifically?

There is active research right now for their use in pure maths. I don’t think it is primarily about direct solutions, but in program synthesis for formal logic. Keep in mind this isn’t just LLM’s, but also graph networks and other non-transformer networks.

That isn’t likely to happen. Fortunately, neither have I said that. But a pithy comeback won’t change the accuracy of the brain being a self-assembling probabilistic network. All your memories, experiences, and emotions are part of that.

You can also download videos, for offline playback.

We are nearly precisely that. The brain functions as a massive, self-organizing neural network where cognitive architecture is determined by the strength of connections (the biological equivalent of adjustable computational weights) that modulate signal transmission via the flow of ions.

Every decision made or breath taken is the outcome of how ions flow through this network.

More capable than the crowd here lets on. My take is like this, unchecked capitalism is a danger to mankind. The pervasiveness of LLM’s right now is just a symptom of that. The rich are the problem, not the AI.

It is a tool; a very good one along many axes. I think people that think it isn’t good for writing code are misinformed or intentionally disingenuous. It is extremely good at that, but it is just a tool not a replacement.

But it is the applications in pure maths, virology, protein folding, etc. where it gets really interesting.

Water consumption, power consumption, and profit motives aside, they are fascinating tools.

That said, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies is a fascinating take on how this could all go wrong.

In any case, I can’t understand the people that say stuff like, “It is just autocomplete on steroids,” or “it is just a probabilistic prediction tool.” Okay, but like… that’s all we are too.

Summary, interesting tools being used for profit at the expense of economies, the environment, and creative fields.

How? You make an unauthenticated request to the cdn to get the font data. So they get IP and user agent, but no site cookies or other scripts are loaded. I’m not trying to defend them; fuck Google, but it is definitely not like other analytics services from Google. So, computer info (beyond user agent), time on site, interests, etc. is speculative at most.

To clarify, when I say “speculative”, I mean they are speculating your identity, not that your assessment is speculative. They can make a pretty good estimate of who you are even behind nat and use that with graph resolution to maybe surmise those details about you, but it isn’t deterministic like the analytics api. And they “promise” they aren’t doing that with the fonts api, but obviously they aren’t to be trusted.

Pretty sure wealthy scumbags have been centralizing production and distribution to jack prices for many more years than this ai boom.

Distant second was deep bone pain when my knees were smashed together. But in first by a great margin are kidney stones. Mother of god! That pain is unparalleled.

A good kid. I say that in jest, but it is the one thing that might make you feel like a good parent.

No lashings in order, but that is an uncanny coinkydink.

That’s a good question, but I suspect it is pretty arbitrary where we choose and are able to draw these lines. But yeah, oppression is a big part of it.

The concept of property itself is flawed, but as long as it is here, this doesn’t seem too surprising. Presumably you don’t want somebody moving into your house without you approving that. It may not even be because you don’t like them, but you need to make decisions based on provisions, space, food, etc.

Immigration is pretty much that at a community / society scale. I’m not saying it is right. But if a society wants to maintain an economy suitable for them to flourish, controlling the rate of population change is a part of that.

Now, of course it actually serves as just another mechanism for the wealthy to fuck the poor, but I think this is the logic.

Didn’t we just do this yesterday?
