I'll go a step further and say Claude is an Interpreter.

It even has just-in-time compilation: it can directly follow a spec and generate small snippets live.

I'm pretty sure we'll soon see services (admittedly highly inefficient) built on Claude-as-a-backend.

How would you enforce, e.g. hate speech, moderation if there are both left and right wing definitions for it?

Or Twitter's content policies could follow the law and reflect the political leaning of the governement, but then how do you enforce moderation on a free/liberal social network which by definition should be free from governement censorship?

We'll probably be able to store actual light in some sort of microresonators and release it slowly at night onto solar panels.

Re:Buddhism can be as violent as any other religion on Saturday April 29, 2017 @06:06AM (#14225837)
Misleading title. Buddhism, as any other religion, can't be violent. Only ignorant non-practicing people can be. Some rogue monks do not represent a religion, they're just another tool of the Thai junta, just like the Pakistan governement is instrumentalizing muslim leaders into terrorism for political motives.
