Yeah it seems so weird that they keep introducing cool new swords into this show that wind up being just identical to a lightsaber.

The mentioned but unsupported link to “general intelligence” reeks of bullshit to me. I don’t doubt a modified LLM (maybe an unmodified one as well) can beat lossless compression algorithms, but I doubt that’s very useful or impressive when you account for the model size and speed.

If you allow the model to be really huge in comparison to the input data it’s hard to prove you haven’t just memorized the training set.

The United States has the largest prison population in the world and the highest incarceration rate. How do you think countries in the EU get by with ~1/6 the incarceration rate and lower crime rates?

It’s not that it’s too hard to maintain, but that in order to make sense it would have to be cheaper than building and maintaining the solar panels on some larger and less valuable patch of land 30 minutes out of town.

As long as you can find devices which let you do local only setup…

While we’re all bitching about this, is there anything I can do as someone with astigmatism to make driving at night less dangerous besides buying a higher car? I like my small car but it’s beginning to feel like a legitimate safety problem when I drive at night.

Eh, showering every day is bad for your skin and uses a lot of water. I work from home and definitely don’t shower every day especially if I’m only going to be leaving the house to walk my dog.

I think the primary issue though is that it incentivizes businesses to only hire people who live nearby. On the one hand that’s good because it’s good for the environment, but on the other hand it means I can’t decide to move further away from my employer without risking being fired. This is a bigger problem if your house has multiple working adults.

We could mitigate that by forbidding companies from firing employees who move further away but stay within some reasonable distance, but that then creates an incentive to move as far away from your job as possible to make that extra income.

So, how do you compensate employees for their commutes without restricting where they can live or creating an adverse incentive?

Don’t forget consumer protections!

Uber somehow managed to convince people that it’s not their fault if their drivers don’t follow traffic laws, drive intoxicated, and assault people.

You already need an ID to vote in PA, which is itself problematic, but automatic registration is purely an improvement
