You want supply to exceed demand? That doesn't seem very sustainable.

I don't think these results show that.

I think they show that additional prompting for testing approaches have wide differences in error rate (worst has twice the error rate of the best) but actually no extra prompting is pretty fine and most custom prompts are are worse than no prompt.

Regulation might have something to do with it but your example doesn't show that imo.

Multiple US labs were taken to court over copyright infringment for their training data. Mistral did the same data mining, but actually the copyright situation is weaker here so it's harder to build a case against them.

I think the capital situation in EU is just worse. A lot of is tied up in more conservative businesses that are reluctant to bet the house on some shiny new thing.

That's because NOAA are not doing the tests that would produce such evidence.

The brief excitement in the space between expecting a decahedral possibly artificial structure lurking in a gas giant and finding out it's just wind.

This has mid 2000's LiteStep theme vibes.

Windows CE (1996) was garbage compared to Palm OS (also 1996.)

I don't want that but it seems like it would the door to that kind of outcome.

Why move gun, when gun can move bullet?

Echoes of the Darian Scheme somehow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darien_scheme

This line of thinking is quite confusing to me. If you keep following it then ultimately we must reckon with the reality that we only experience time in one direction. While it might be technically true that "there is only so much you can do with that" I think it might also be a completely useless statement to make.

Anyone doing high volume on Stripe is paying IC+ rates. These numbers aren't comparable as you grow.

For me the problem is not that it has a plugin based architecture. It's that it ONLY has that. If there are no batteries included what's the point?

Yes this whole focus on customisation and plugins etc is really just laziness and the absence of innovation. I don't want an infinitely programmable IDE. I already have that it's called my computer.

I want something that actually has an opinion and gives me productive value without having to spend days reconfiguring it first.

This video really deserves a better soundtrack.

Biology is in some sense a language, how do we even agree on what the boundaries of biology vs other domains of science are without participants agreeing on the rules?

In any case I think you have an overly narrow definition of learning that we're unlikely to come to terms over.

That's exactly what OP was doing, or does teaching kids not qualify somehow?

How can you really say you you've learnt the alphabet if you haven't read the document in which the first use of the letter Y appeared?

You can plant trees now.

Productivity theatre is when activity becomes celebrated over outcomes. It's absolutely everywhere in US tech culture.

This makes no sense at all as soon as you start trying to define where the internal/external line actually is.

So glad I stopped wasting my subscription fee on these stupid vanity projects.

Is it still a tomb if someone already stole all of the human remains centuries ago?

Christianity has an ancient tradition of relics in which even in the absence of an actual corpse people will just pick up some random bone and be like "this was some old ladies actual hand, it has magic powers now" and then parade it around the city every year.

I just got back from a triple to Naples where there's a church that had a secret skull collecting cult under it for decades, it's a tourist attraction now. Yes it is still full of peoples skulls.

So yes, it seems like there is a statute of limitations on our obedience to the dead.

I'm sure some people said the same about ballet.

Is it somehow LESS nerdy to understand the geopolitics behind the tech we use? I guess we have different definitions of nerd.

NK is so heavily militarised and culturally isolated that an extraordinary rendition is likely to backfire even more so than they typically do.

The same way people generally equate luddism with anything. By entirely misunderstanding what it was to make a point that sounds snappy without all of that boring understanding history stuff.

You are simultaneously arguing for a more complex and nuanced testing approach that demands much higher quantities of data as a result, and also against RCTs, which perhaps rightly you've identified as having suffered from the same kind of cost disease as all other health care in the USA. I can't help but feel like you've identified the wrong root cause here.

The problem is that people are not listening to each other. Part of this is just working together is hard, but a bigger part is that there is status associated with being "in charge" of things as founder. The desire to feel like you are controlling the outcome and people need to take instruction and direction from you rather than working together to find a path through the forest.
