Doesn't the title presuppose the outcome?

Agents can retrieve documents and query databases, but retrieval reliability limits the utility of agentic analytic abilities: a revenue metric answered faster is worth nothing if the number is wrong.

Just adding a few words takes it so far...

Thanks!

I need to watch that again, its been too long (would be my 5th or sixth time, but would be worth it). Is the whole series available there?
Re:Gemini 4 Carbon on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @11:35PM (#50284269)
Yes, but last time I asked copilot to provide an alt text for an image depicting a experimental procedure using rodents, it suggested "A rat being attacked by another group of rats".
What is weird is criticizing people who acknowledge good things because of past bad things when nothing anyone said here, that I can see, anything close to "they are redeemed rejoice!"
It's already here, imo

Too late, I hope lawsuits will make them pay dearly for their gross negligence.
I could imagine that you could loop over and over, but direct the outputs of each layer to two destinations: a) to continue through the layers, looping, and b) a separate CoT text output layer to make those CoT concrete. In fact, the model itself would not need to be aware or have access to those CoT traces at all. I am not an AI guy, so I don't know for sure, but that seems reasonably possible.
You might be right, but it isn't clear to me that that means the near-shoring hypothesis is wrong. Wresting control from the Cartel in the south can be a goal of its own right, but would also seem to support a goal of establishing more influence in the region for nearshoring our supply lines, as well as establishing another source of oil to counteract anticipated disruptions in the Iranian conflict.
Isn't the strategy to nearshore production, and recent moves in South America were potentially done to reduce Chinese/Iranian/Russian influence in those regions?
It's not entirely false...actually our best current technique...but we need more and better methods.
Isn't this what openai is doing, at least in spirit, by running multiple passes through the network before exhibiting thinking tokens? Isn't the same issue one of safety and control, because being able to interpret thinking tokens helps u control / monitor unwanted behaviors, and multiple passes before writing out the thinking tokens increases their capacity for deception?

Yep, it's AI - Meat - AI
I'm not cynical about the games, I'm cynical that the games have any relation to each other in their plots.
I've only played a handful of these games .. but do they work together as a theme or story progression or are they, as I suspect, pretty much independent rehashes with no real relationship other than making money and appeasing fans?
Re:Laser Fault Injection on a Budget: RP2350 Edition on Saturday October 17, 2026 @08:02PM (#50136431)
I did not know that about laser fault injection, at all. What practical uses has this technique found? Analysis of foreign military hardware? Cracking into secured systems?

Re:Artificial intelligence is capitalism's final destination on Friday October 16, 2026 @11:02AM (#50119237)
Well, it's not about capitalism anymore because the West will be damned if they'd let a Chinese AI destroy the world first, and so too would the Chinese be damned if they'd let the West's AI have that sole honor. ...and so everyone must stay in the race. Solving that geopolitical conundrum is not optional.
More like we solve aging but then we get smacked down by our new AI overlords

Yes, Putin cornered himself, the ambitious evil idiot...especially after their official act of joining the invaded lands to Russia.

Conscripts didn't typically come from the lands around Moscow, but from the poor peoples who are very far away from wealth and power. For most there, it was only Ukraine's drone attacks that made them feel at war
Re:3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit on Sunday October 11, 2026 @03:59PM (#50047201)
Agreed. While Ukraine targets energy and technological/manufacturing enablers of war, Russia continues to indiscriminately bomb Ukrainian cities, apartment buildings being their favorite. Fck Russian Imperial asperations and their murderous invasion of Ukraine.
Re:Decade-old RAM is making a comeback on Sunday October 11, 2026 @03:53PM (#50047139)
There is such demand for the GPUs, for example, it seems that they can pick the winners and demand they abide with terms.
Byte exact seems only of interest to preserve known bugs etc for cheats/shortcuts/etc.
So you restricted it to implementing the same function (same inputs,outputs, dependencies as original?) and prevented the agents from making design decisions by keeping it's scope restricted?
Yes. Agreed. I liked the civic engagement. With the Target thing though, opponents were just a bit hypocritical. Davis residents were already going to a Target: they were driving to Woodland or Vacaville for their serious shopping.
