Re:Travel North Tahoe Nevada ensures winter access on Friday February 27, 2026 @08:37AM (#47180351)
TNTNV is paying for the TTD-contracted plowing service at East Short Trail parking lot #1, one of the busiest leisure trails in North Lake Tahoe. TNTNV is paying the full cost of the service, previously allocated funds for winter plows, and will continue to do so as required by the storm to ensure safe access to the area's trail network so that everyone can enjoy responsible winter recreation.
Most of my posts here have been satirical or exaggerated. Among those not so has been my aphorism that DeepMind can train a new model faster than you can go back to grad school. You‘d have went back to school for computer science for a Masters‘ degree and by the time you slithered out of that box, AlphaCode 2 slithered out of its box and into your cubicle. No more space for you!

That’s just James Lindsay’s pseudointellectual tripe, and has further roots in some early twentieth century political theorists. You can’t trust Lindsay because he’s a political operative first and a scholar second. I don’t know of any scholars of gnosticism who think gnosticism is connected to LGBT in a serious way.

Could you share the code with us?

Maybe it would take a sabbatical to heal its trauma like real humans. Maybe it would go to therapy.

Humans who pick their own training data can make greats results by chosing which courses at college or grad school to attend.

There are use cases as far as the eye can see. How about copywriting?

Can the exponential probability increase mentioned by LeCun be mitigated, for example with an approximation?

Lots of algorithms like nearest neighbor search are O(n^2) but algorithms for approximate results run in sublinear time.

AI doesn’t get sad. AI doesn’t get sick. AI doesn’t need to take a break. AI doesn’t need to go to grad school. AI doesn’t need to heal its trauma. AI can just do the thing.
Maybe. Unclear if that’s falsifiable.
Probably.

You will have somewhere to go. You can become a rich person’s serf and they give you food and an allowance and a place to live. It’s like childhood.
One can hope.
The story goes like this: we stop trying to cope.

Then go in on Web3. While Crypto as an investment is full of scams, Crypto as an uncensorable anonymous social network is the real deal. Make an anonymous twt clone with posts stored on ipfs.
Users of prisons are responsible for their conduct:

As the internet more closely resembles the prison the users grow more responsible. Just surveil everyone.
