if you ever find yourself creating a new profile just to make a comment like you just did, ask if you're the kind of person who is afraid to acknowledge their own thoughts publicly
you didn't read past the second paragraph then?
"Did something happen?" you really think nothing that happened in the last two years could lead to anyone changing their opinion about whether LLMs will lead to AGI?
I'll just push back a little in case anyone thinks that all older translations are no good. You're quite right that as scholarship advances, they become more accurate, and sometimes the quality improves as well. But there are other examples (like Pope's Iliad) where the accuracy is secondary to the interpretation and artistry in the target language.
Here however I think you're probably correct (and probably your comment was specific to this, not general). But I'd also recommend OP and other curious folks try downloading a few versions and reading the first few pages or hundred lines, and see which one feels best to you. Enjoying the work is the first task, then appreciating and studying will come more naturally later.
I think Navier was doing some but it was limited, specific routes and a while back. But it's something to look into.
replacing the notch with a hole punch isn't much of an improvement for me anyway. it still kills the top quarter inch of the display for non-letterboxed movies, games etc. I'm tempted to replace my Air with a Neo just to have a non-punctured screen.
the thing is we are not short on "ideas" in the drug development process
just noticed the name. thanks very much for many hours of fun in my youth. I'm looking forward to playing this again!
Ah, the muscle memory comes back fast.
>The port was directed by a human, implemented by Claude Opus 5.5, and designed by both.
This is certainly one area where I find AI tools to be largely beneficial. There are so many pieces of near-forgotten software that are difficult to interface with at all, let alone to decompile, debug and port and so on. I was thinking lately how useful an AI-powered editor for NES- and SNES-era games would be. The existing tile and mapper editors are generally pretty clunky IIRC.
https://www.apple.com/v/ipad-mini/a/images/overview/product-...this is directly side-on. they've def removed the camera bump. In the initial animation at the top where the hand grabs it too. the bump is very clear in shots later!
wait... could they have hidden it under the hand? and why does that person's thumb seem extra long?! the more I look at this the less I understand it.
woah - that's pretty shocking to me actually. in the past they generally have just used flattering angles. This is downright deception.
I'll go with C: a total lack of imagination
Either that or The Parallax View. Or of course Idiocracy.
could this be... an actual example of "begging the question"?!
yes, you seem like someone I want to spend time talking to
To be honest I doubt it. As far as I am concerned at least, it's a bit like the distinction between a shit sandwich and a sandwich that uses shit as a condiment.
In the terms of the fruit of the poisonous tree, the tree is not AI or what it touches, it is an author who chooses to use AI in the process of writing. The fruit of that tree is simply not one I care to eat.
dot, bot, and duet, all announced in a month. you couldn't make up this level of industry lockstep. now all we need is google bit and microsoft ditty.
My understanding is it is not - this is something we have models for, and there was a flurry of machine learning based drug discovery companies about 8-10 years ago. But they ran into the testing bottleneck real fast because they would spit out thousands of candidates for binders and so on that all needed to be tested in vitro before they could even start the real drug dev circuit. Furthermore the drugs need to be manufacturable and that's not a trivial problem.
It's nice to (as the blog post suggests) give the opportunity to non medical experts, say in this case a snake/venom research center, to pursue a problem and produce some realistic candidates that they could pay to test. I do think it's good to democratize what parts of the process can be, but it's more of a resource prioritization problem than a molecular design one.
fair enough, this kind of thing hasn't been a strong suit for a while - I had hopes for Lina Khan but she didn't have the time or backup she needed. but right now is an especially laissez-faire moment when it comes to criminal enrichment
big fine? they paid 3 million plus 50 million eggs at cost - they probably made on the order of 2-3 billion on this criminal scheme.
I'm confused by your aspersions. should or should not Politico have written this piece? and what is this group of people, and what "approved" outlets do you refer to? are they the ones who naysaid the allegations to begin with or the opposite? have the conviction to name those you accuse.
well if you keep reading, the investigation has concluded and they are declining to pursue any charges, alleging that the return of egg prices to pre-collusion levels is the desired outcome. there may be a $3 million fine, which is of course microscopic compared with the profits created from collusion. surely a years-long price fixing conspiracy costing consumers billions deserves more than that, but under this administration we are unlikely to get it.
it would be irresponsible for us to assume otherwise!
you're right. for that matter I suppose ICE could also be carrying insulin. better not protest them either.
well yes. if you are OK with getting arrested and charged for demonstrating your political convictions, I support your nonviolent protest. this isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is.
good for her. nonviolent obstruction of a commercial endeavor she opposes, much like a sit-in. whether you agree with her perspective or not I think it is important to support her ability to protest in this way, though (as she is well aware) it may come with consequences.
this is so funny to me. it's not just a false signature. clearly the whole thing is false.
a fine hope if unlikely. but I wanted to also note in friendly fashion that the word you want is precedent (or precedents) - precedence has a connotation of "first among" rather than precedent's "came before."
