IMHO, the parent's point ties to the Bitter Lesson.
Use the best tool available knowing that advances in compute dominate clever optimizations.
If models stopped leapfrogging each other, then it wouldn't hold. But it appears to hold for now.
The parent is preaching to not become dependent (like the Huaorani).
Further, should the Huaorani also not use the most advanced technology and retain obsolete scaffolding?
Edit: eek! don't think these people had it better off prior to modern contact
>The Waorani may have the highest rate of homicide of any society known to anthropology. [0]
Details aren't as sexy as the headline would lead one to believe.
Instead,
> For three years the pitch from the big AI model labs has been beautifully simple. Software engineers are the most expensive employees on Earth.
Same formula across country, culture, time and people keep getting sucked in.
Unless you delete before scrapers get it, it's stored on multiple databases.
Anecdotally, I have noticed the same in the past week. It might just be anecdotal or driven by a long context window.
In medicine, it's a solution for someone who wants liquidity (buy kids new home, help local dog shelter, add a new mistress) and doesn't want to retire, yet.
The problem is that the terms are custom and YMMV as an existing patient of said practice.
To your comment, I wasn't aware of the eye rolling meta for the phrase [0]. I hadn't seen it overused to the extent people are claiming.

For the parent, an extra 1M umbrella is an extra $2-300/y and covers beyond auto!
* "More efficient, next gen coal plants"
* "Receiving capacity payments subsidies to stabilize grid"
* "We won't run these plants at full capacity"
When their carbon intensity still can't touch natural gas alternatives at scale, state owned enterprises are operating in a command economy, and they have no teeth to their carbon commitments.
They don't have to build new coal at 10:1 versus retirements to "replace aging coal" or stabilize the grid.
Coal is just too cheap and adds diversity,while nobody forces CN to enter climate agreements and looks the other way.
That doesn't make it righteous and is a common critique of their coal powered PV manufacturing base.
They're playing games with carbon commitments with arbitrary reduction goals from undefined peaks. We can't trust them.
Meanwhile, they're currently building >200GW of new coal plants.
I think of it like alcoholics who can't be near alcohol. It's some deep seated degeneracy or fear.
Occam's razor says this was simply a custom batch that was available cheap.
> multiple reports in Slovak media that linked the purchase to a Cyprus shell company with fake certifications.
We're talking about this as if it's some precursor to a James Bond plot, but it really fizzles after learning Nina in the sourcing department skipped the compliance paperwork. James Bond doesn't need to leave the bed!
Trojan exploits aside, I just assume that it'd be easier for someone in SVR/GRU to bribe an admin.
I've seen Kehinde Andrews defend Arday repeatedly about plagiarism.
He says
1. It was deemed "misquoting" and poor scholarly work that should've been caught by his advisor 2. And the university did an investigation and ruled it wasn't plagiarism.
Basically, the mom who will always love their ax murderer son.
This sounds worse than reality.
That was an unpaid research affiliation, while he was holding a separate, paid research fellow position at Cambridge.
Cambridge didn't fire him from his paid job, which was a terminal, three-year fellowship. [0]

"must" is over-stating the parent's point.
If the bar was provably lowered for him due to an attribute [0], then doesn't that invite scrutiny on others with the same attribute? To your critique, the attribute could be political affiliation, familial relationships, academic lineage, social circles, nationality, <your choice>.

Arday tried to ruin a journalist's life with police complaints that the police pursued without following proper protocols. The police issued a public apology [0].
This is a left wing think tank.
Edit: article flagged presumably for bias.
You already provided the facts, and they want to pretend like there isn't a legal obligation to respond to a distress call and the Zuck hate clickbait was otherwise.
Honestly, Zuck haters should be the first ones to point this out so it doesn't distract from other criticism.
Now, you're trying to conveniently ignore the context of the post you replied to here [0].

I skimmed the rest and saw too many weasel words. Good luck.
