Can't one be honestly mistaken?

"US leadership has without ambiguity signaled US' intention"

That's a pretty funny way to describe the Trolling Bloviator.

Wow. And thanks. I don't mean to pry, but did this make you want to take it repeatedly?

I ask because I've seen people get in trouble this way. They have a first experience which is amazing and then get into chasing it.

If it's ok to ask: what was it that you experienced that you hadn't known existed before?

Christmas trees too, and Christmas lights for that matter.

A medicalized psychiatric state is not the solution to the current lunacy. Just imagine the abuses it would lead to.

It undoubtedly is. I have to assume the GP slipped up with a badly chosen example, since their point is otherwise pretty middle of the road.

That exact statement is quoted in the OP too.

You can fail to mention critics without copying anyone. For example, doing nothing at all satisfies both conditions.

Maybe you meant failing to cite authors you quote? That's not what the OP is talking about.

That link led me to this fascinating reminiscence:

Is charisma a skill? I doubt that.

It cuts both ways. Many American friends have told me that they were treated aggressively at the Canadian border as well.

"I've been saying we should do this for years. I walked on the moon. Did a pushup, ate an egg on it. What else can you do with it?"

Mr Show has held up well, maybe even gotten better with time.

Another reason for him and Fischer to enjoy being cellmates I guess.

What is it with these chess masters?

I was hoping you would say that, because it's a technical field you can do very well in without a university degree.

I don't mean to minimize your loss, but I cheer for you to succeed despite it.

Yes, that sucks. What would you like to study at university if you get the chance?

Wow. That's such a huge change. I hope it has been ok for you and wish you a great future.

Do you want to share a bit of your story? 3 years ago would mean you left right at the start of the war. How do you feel about that now?

They're too busy being on your lawn.

Another legitimate use would be research to demonstrate vulnerabilities in support of a return to paper ballots. Ed Felten and many others have been arguing this for years.

You just want to work on things that crack easily.

What was the tweet?

It's the other side! They're the ones creating two sides!

If you think of the suffix "ist" as a form of negation then it makes sense.

> the bigger cost is inference

I didn't know that. Is this always the case?

Not arguing with your point about training efficiency, but the degree to which R1 is a technical breakthrough changes if they were calling an outside API to get the answers, doesn't it?

It seems like the difference between someone doing a better writeup of (say) Wiles's proof vs. proving Fermat's Last Theorem independently.

Everyone is responding to the intellectual property issue, but isn't that the less interesting point?

If Deepseek trained off OpenAI, then it wasn't trained from scratch for "pennies on the dollar" and isn't the Sputnik-like technical breakthrough that we've been hearing so much about. That's the news here. Or rather, the potential news, since we don't know if it's true yet.

> The llm is there to rapidly synthesize the universe of information

That's a nice way of putting it.

Or some overly optimistic attempt at AI moderation.

Sorry for being ignorant but what is that place?
