Well, the positive traits you listed are certainly true, but let’s face it: she was also very intelligent and had a self-deprecating sense of humor, so there’s that.
Are the results in video generation precise enough to remove the need for 3D modeling?
CI/CD — Continuous Incidents, Continuous Defense.
…and once again, „flood the zone with shit“ works just beautifully.
They push out one outrageous diversion after another, and you fall for it.
Mh, if anything, this would make me want to do business with them
more.
Now what?
If used correctly, I find the em dash one of the most elegant and reader-friendly ways to structure certain parts of a text — that it got such a bad reputation lately really is a shame!
Thanks for the data!
Allow a question from someone who’s only got a very vague idea of how this kind of stuff works behind the scenes: say I rent usage of this model through one of the many LLM hosting providers out there, and let‘s assume I use it extensively through something like Pi or OpenCode and vibe code away all the time, keeping the hosted model occupied as much as I can, happily burning my credits.
Does that mean that there is a hardware cluster as described by you above that is crunching away just for me?
So at FP16, I alone keep a 1,664 GiB system occupied all the time?
The obvious book recommendation here is: Joseph Henrich: The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous.
I've searched through the Haaretz investigation; nowhere does it claim that Israel shot all (or any, for that matter) hostages that were released by Hamas.
This reminds me of Crypto bros reinventing the financial system, slowly, with lots and lots of innocent (and some not so innocent) victims on the way.
What are your sources for both claims?
> For example, VW, … have been axing electric vehicles that they started selling a few years ago
> most people who wanted EVs had already purchased them
You should really reconsider where you get your information from.
“Volkswagen reported more than 70,000 orders for its new Electric Urban Car Family within just a few weeks, while European BEV orders increased by more than 50% in Q2.”

"AI fills the vacuum with the obvious thing."
I like that a lot.
I just realized how refreshing it is to read an honest take like "from 2-3 documents an hour to 8-10 documents an hour" instead of "it's doing the work of a month in 5 minutes!!!!1".
The problem with this is that iirc, this also signals to web pages that you do not like a lot of motion, which IS a nice UX enhancer for some pages, but might supress animations from (auto)playing where it's not what you want because the animations are the reasons you're visiting that page.
Isn’t that a door (haha) opened by our supreme new AI coding overlords: that now it’s possible to take the Every Door source code (it’s on Github), and throw it into a coding agent with the instruction to „improve <ux shortcoming of your choice> without breaking functionality“, and with some iterations and human validation that yes, the UX is now indeed better, play the changes back with a PR?
Finally someone is asking the right questions.
I was recently musing in this general direction, too.
The movie business is completely foreign to me, but I wonder if stuff like this would work: copyright owners licensing out their IP for niche studios serving niche audiences — I‘m pretty sure a lot of people would pay good money for a different take on the final GoT season. Or that third season of your favorite show that never came to be. A Thrawn-focused Star Wars trilogy. Various crossovers.
Assumed this would work good enough on a technical level any time soon — could it work in terms of licensing and economics?
Did it stop booming afterwards?
Did you also talk about this:
> “Throughout OECD countries, men are much more likely to die from suicide, acute alcohol abuse or a drug overdose – on average, almost 4 men for every woman. This gender gap is largest in Poland, at 8.2.”
See figure 5.8 at https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2020/03/how-s-life-2020...
What do you think might be the reason behind this?
But why the did Poland introduce a de-facto abortion ban in early 2021, with terminations only permitted in cases of rape, incest or if there is a threat to the mother's health or life?
And abortions due to fetal abnormalities are no longer permitted in Poland.
Isn’t that at odds with „conserve freedom“?
Wouldn’t „more freedom of expression“ imply
less conservative?
Or what aspects of conservatism, and what aspects of freedom of expression, are you referring to here?
To be honest, it feels like you are contradicting yourself.
If LLMs are, as you stated, really good at catching potential issues, then they are, almost by definition, really good at producing code without potential issues, if guided correctly: all they need to do is inspect and iterate, until they do not find any more potential issue in the code they produced.
Well, I really wish that anyone, no matter their income level or job description, is immune against murder; or are we just throwing out civilization now?
I also like how they ask the model to work on it for 8 hours; guess asking for more is against labor laws…
If you cannot be bothered with learning our language, and think that being rich somehow makes our country owe you its citizenship — then yeah, maybe Germany isn’t for you.
The article is from 2019.
This is half question, half thought experiment: What exactly is it that makes us think „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and focus on architecture myself“, instead of „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and I can delegate architecture to the agent, and I can focus on <third thing> myself“?
And how many levels up can you construct this sentence before things go south?
What I‘m implying with this question is, of course: What makes us so confident that these things are not also better architects than us?
After all there is a huge corpus on how to architect applications correctly, and that’s in the training data just as much as Python best practices and C++ style recommendations.
It has always been my understanding that if talking about homo sapiens sapiens: then if you could „snatch“ a newborn from 200k years ago and raise it just like any other human baby today, there is nothing in terms of biology etc. that would stop said baby from becoming an engineer, astronaut, formula one race driver, lawyer, programmer, or CEO (or any other modern profession for that matter).
Never read up if that pet theory of mine has any merit, though.
