Do you really mean 300mcg ? the lowest dosage I see available is 1mg.

It's been 14 years since the first Arm-based Windows laptop. What's the state of the system software-wise? I feel they largely failed to make any significant inroads.

For context, police gained support for this bylaw following this video. The guy posted the video of himself of calling an office a whore on socia media. The fact the officer was so polite and couldn't do anything about it made people furious. Of course, there is real risk of abuse of this law but that's the context.

Yes, but considering the goal of his project is a proof of concept, that is, proving this project is possible, acid3 is a good place to start to prove the worth of the project and aiming 100% first make more sense. Tweaks will be needed one way or another to make it equivalent to the big 3.

I'm somewhat skeptical of that approach. It's not even clear if "world models" are significant for our subcouscious decision making as human beings. Why assume it's necessary for AI?

Let's suppose each models was subsidized at 70%, so that we only pay 30% of the cost. They would loose much more money per token on the more powerful models. It's in their interest to encourage the use of the less expensive models. Let's say they increase Luna subsidies at 90%. They would still "save" relative to the use of the more expensive models.

Any locks can be picked given enough time and it might be the situation we are in with IT security. I'm surprised it's not an already common practice of spreading terabytes of fake data, fake keys, and fake servers and so forth. Slowing down AI attacks will become important. Monitoring access to fake data and triggering kill switch should be an no-brainer. Obsuscating libraries and tools names is another one.

I don't mind it as long as the company engage in the comments. They haven't so far.

From Google point of view, their users are nothing more than a statistic. An hacked account is a statistic. No surprise they see software that way.

Greed and inefficiency is what define SaaS. Compare what Microsoft give you for 50 bucks per month vs Atlassian or any ticketing services. It's absurd. They can charge up to $80/month for what shouldn't cost more than $5.

In Quebec, new data center will have to pay almost twice the price of what citizen are paying. it's 14 cents/kwh vs about 8 cents/kwh. Crypto center are set to pay 18 cents/kwh. That's the advantage of having a public utility.

They add a mode to Codex which is less technical or more oriented toward office work and you can toggle between the two.

Is it a dumb-down version of GPT like the current voice model? At least in french, I find the current GPT voice mode to be useless, to the point I only use the dication mode. I would ask a question and it would answer something along "That's a interesting question. I can help you with that. Anything you want to know about X?" I would ask again and it would answer the same kind of non answer.

Atwood is on record saying the inspiration is Iran 79's Islamic revolution.

indeed. That being said, there is a psychological effect of reviews that doesn't exists with LLM. One of the thing that make reviews effective is that when we code, we know someone will look at our code and judge it. It might be subconscious, but it's there.

Codex UI is great. It just make sense for an AI tool.

This looks somewhat similar to LINQ in how it order clauses.

Is't heat accumulation over time already dumping heat in the 4th dimension?

He was wrong about the timing of the bubble popping and might well still be too early, as passive investing might allow for the market to keep inflating for many years to come. Mike Green explaining it better, about how mathematically, there is an inflexion point where if x% of investment is passive, it could make the whole system unstable (I don't remember the specific number) and crash, but until then, it will keep rising.

Because the economy is un ponzi scheme and without young people to pay for old people and old debts, it fails.

This is the danger of a winner-take-all economy. They have no other but spend insane amount just to remains on top, even if it doesn't make economic sense short and medium term. There is no evidence AI will impact the GDP positively. To make things worse, so far, the use of ressources (electricity, chips) make it inflationary.

It indeed sucks for the honest workers like your friends who are losing funding because the CIA can't help itself.

The Belt and Road Initiative is reputed to be 7 times bigger than the Marshall plan in today's dollar. It's getting hard for the US to compete with that.

I'm not saying it's "better" in the moral sense, but from the point of view of the dominant, it's definitely more effective. The justification outlined for USAID is that it was "softpower". While this is true, we have to admit it's limitations. As you said, it was only 45B. You don't shape the world with such small amount of money. So, you do the next best thing which is to plant covert agents in NGOs. That's was the real purpose of USAID.

>Increasingly, he found his cover work more engaging and important than his intelligence-gathering.

Your father was a great man.

Very well put. As a Canadian, what I see is Trump's attitude gave the green card for Canadian politicians to take a stand, sacrifice short term goals for long terms strategies, and indeed, we end up seeing China as less dangerous comparatively, it being true or not. Trump made overt what was happening covertly (and also objectively hurt allied relationships).

If you don't mind listening to right-wing adjacent commentators, Mike Benz document those links extensively on his podcast. For exemple:

The inability of the US to maintain soft power, or any power that isn't rooted in the use of force, will be its international demise. An American belt and road initiative would be politically impossible. So instead, you have those timid humanitarian aids program which largely served as intelligence and subvertion network. Those NGOs end up being so secretive that most of the money disapears in the pockets of the middleman.

Another problem is the US is broke. With a 6% of the GDP deficit, it can't invest abroad. This is the curse of being the reserve currency. Subversion is the only thing the U.S. can afford. Countries around the world knew that about the U.S. and USAID.

I invite you to watch Mike Green videos. In short, the current market rely on inflow of money to substain itself. P/E ratio can't increase forever. There will be a tipping point and if most of the money is invested based on an algorithm, it can unravel rapidly.

Great! This, along with Webb, the other Epstein AI tool, are amazing effort to find documents. The way you link to files instead of just outputing an answer is amazing. Great works!

There will be consolidation has few players will have the revenues to justify training their own model. Google has enough cash and revenues to be one of the survivors of this race. Openai and Claude will survive in some form or another, at least as a brand. xAi will burn through SpaceX revenues and capital so it will stay around for a while. China will keep subsidizing models. Meta might keep a subpar model around. It still a race for relevance so not everyone will make the cut.
