Yet government wrongs normal people who have done nothing daily. Subjects them to crime through ineffective justice, taxes them, criminalizes behaviour that rational people would consider not to be criminal, etc...
In my country they'll try to prosecute you for longer jail sentences if you criticize the government than if you kill someone...
No, a healthy society shows mercy to the innocent, and enacts justice on the guilty.
Lol there's no such thing as an EU associate member. The EU has to come up with and agree to what the term means.
The same EU that still hasn't ratified CETA; 10 members still blocking it.
Trade barriers are trade barriers. Free trade means no barriers, not no tariffs specifically. Anything that makes doing business in another province more difficult than regular operation in your own province is a barrier to trade.
> There are no tariffs between Canadian provinces and never have been.
Did I say there were?
Well, let's say you sell online, no matter what you're selling, you need to apply the PST/HST of the province the buyer's address is in. And then you need to file a tax return for every province you sell to. Now some provinces have a sales threshold under which you don't need to do a separate tax return, others don't. Some have an HST collected by the Federal government, others don't. And all the PST/HST rates are different. This also applies to digital goods, SaaS, etc...
The US has higher thresholds in every state and no federal sales tax, and buyers pay the duties.
Of course the 2% of items not included are pretty substantial; agricultural products with strict quotas.
There's also strict country of origin rules so if too many materials are sourced outside Canada, even if its made in Canada it can be subject to tariffs. Not to mention needing to adhere to EU standards.
Canada doesn't even have free trade internally... It's literally easier to sell to the US or EU than to another province.
> That depends on what you mean by compatibility.
Emacs Lisp...
> I'm not actually convinced at this point on the value of a lot of the extant elisp out there.
I agree but lots of people probably don't.
Sponsor button works though ;-)
> Why these companies are allowed to damage others with impunity
Because investors have pumped hundreds of billions into AI and real consequences put that money (and growth) at risk.
Why? There's no point having a typed config/scripting language...
Lem's focus seems to be on being an "emacs" in and for Common Lisp. Lem throws away any attempts at compatibility with GNU Emacs.
This is trying to be compatible with GNU Emacs.
Then it'll just be another Bluesky...
The point is that you can't steal someone else's content 1:1. But you can use it for a different use (say, display the tweet in an article, then comment on it).
Search engines "modify" it ie. show snippets + direct to the actual site.
In general fair use pretty much always requires it to be transformative and/or point to the source. Simply scraping it to prevent people from going to X isn't free use in any definition I've heard.
Pretty sure it's legal when you do it for your own use (same as browsing a website) but it's illegal to redistribute web scraped results.
You'd think they'd keep it quieter so they can actively sabotage the terrorists if that were the case... It's the disclosure that's most odd.
If Anthropic has all this data that Claude was being used by the Houthis to develop a missile guidance system, why the fuck did they allow it?
Linux follows international sanctions in not allowing citizens of certain countries to be involved in any way, why isn't Anthropic following the law?
Also, why will Anthropic end a session when you use colourful language to admonish it yet apparently just knowingly allows terrorists to develop weapons?
Impressed with the model performance or the chatbot/agent performance?
> started one-shotting serious long horizon tasks.
They one-shot tasks for which there's a git clone one-liner, except worse.
My experience with them one shotting tasks is that it usually doesn't work if you try anything ambitious. You need agents iterating. And agents iterating isn't an LLM improvement. I did say tooling got better...
Why don't you actually read the words and apply a little critical thinking?
How often do you hack on actual LLMs? Or do you just use the chatbot or API for your agents? An LLM without internet access or tools is just as useless as a year ago.
This is corporate speak for "LLMs have hit a wall". I mean, it's been obvious for a bit, lately nearly all gains have been from harnesses (or whatever you want to call all the non-LLM bits that make up a chatbot or agent).
If Anthropic and OpenAI were still seeing exponential or even linear gains from scaling they'd be doing it because the rewards to reaching AGI or SGI before everyone else are basically infinite. If both are talking about slowing down it means there's no known path to AGI so they're both going to push the safety angle as an excuse to slow down training new models and take profit.
> I don't know exactly what it meant by "chained"
It does mean they tried to eliminate inflation as a factor. In my experience though the basket of goods used for inflation calculations do a poor job representing the majority of consumers' and businesses' costs.
> Also I don't think AMD and Intel is capable "to step in" to replace them
AMD has powered 2 generations each of Sony and Xbox consoles, Steam deck and shops a ton of GPUs especially if you count APUs. And then Intel literally ship more GPUs than Nvidia and AMD combined.
The gaming market doesn't need Nvidia. Especially as AAA is cratering.
Attacking Iran and then backing down has just shown all the West's enemies that the US has no resolve.
https://www.statcan.gc.ca/hub-carrefour/quality-life-qualite...You tell me. Median household (+ individuals not in an economic family) income went up $5k from 2015-2024. Given what you've experienced inflation wise in that time period what do you think?
US median household income went up $15k in that time period ($22k CAD), so >4x more.
Lots of counterpoints. Peronist Argentina, France under Hollande, Canada from 2015-today, etc...
I live in Canada. Under the current government, business investment cratered, 40% of our 1% earners left and our GDP per capita relative to the US dropped by 40%.
Keep in mind that LLMs were basically invented in Canada and we've captured next to none of the economic activity.
Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Andrej Karpathy and Geoffrey Hinton are all Canadian citizens lol...
Instead of leaking memory it'll just clone the whole heap over and over.
If I were the Rust foundation I'd be keeping this to myself right now.
