> Just translate the thing.

But which thing? Language transmits information, intent, tone, sound and many other layers. Usually, there is no way to transport all of it to the target language, and the translator must choose what to sacrifice.

Japanese prose doesn't intend to be boring, and its target audience isn't bored by it. If you translate it in a way that sounds boring to an English audience, you aren't maintaining the intent of the author.

The famous example is Tina from FF6, a name exotic and exciting for a Japanese audience, but commonplace and boring for Westerners. Keeping such a word means missing its point.

Why do they need to change the temperature? I thought it was supposed to be constant.

So how often is this LLM wrong?

The whole point of the thought experiment is that not everyone agrees that pulling the lever to kill the one man is murder and thus immoral.

> Would it really have a strong negative impact on your life to run your dryer overnight

Absolutely. That thing is loud.

1) is probably phrased wrongly. I think it isn't even research for the AI labs, it's just an inevitable byproduct of how they train and verify their models. That goes perhaps to the heart of how the mathematicians feel about it: what they thought was a crowning achievement of the human intellect is now a byproduct of a mechanical-industrial process. But that also means the AI labs can't just stop, because they need ever harder puzzles to be part of the training.

Spiegel says Azerbaijan.

What ancient model did they use that it couldn't get the fingers right?

Sounds like artificial APM inflation coming back to bite the humans in the ass. If RTS players wouldn't mindlessly spam so many clicks, the target APM for the bot's limit would be lower. But as it stands, the bot just takes the inflated budget and puts it to better use.

Disagree about 3D Lemmings. Yes, the camera controls sucked, but the extra dimension opens up tons of interesting puzzles and interactions, and it's also aesthetically pleasing to watch them move around and change 3D objects.

There's an open-source engine for it called Loap that comes with a custom level pack, and I think the block-based design holds up better than the fiddly Revolutions.

> which is sort of an odd business decision

It's probably no decision at all, but merely poor coordination between separate departments.

Once a bureaucracy surpasses a certain size, odd side effects accumulate on their own, and the growing number of people affected by them seek to cast blame where no purpose ever existed.

The masses love clichés and stereotypes, which is why these "artiste" designers frequently miss their target audience.

> we need more projects like Anna's Archive

How would that be immune? It already has many copies of the same books and no way to tell which ones are erroneous or incomplete. A malicious actor could easily flood it with garbage.

IF headline contains (Google OR Musk OR Israel) GOTO outrage.

That's all.

> New capacity takes 3-5 years to come online.

Why should that be set in stone? Surely there are corners that can be cut if there's so much profit on the table.

Should have linked their "Policy" page instead. That's where they actually talk about who they are and what they want.

Just trying to sort out the details. I think any story, even a funny one, improves when the facts are correct.

The scene in the park indeed requires the radio. It's not very climactic though; you're just arresting some drug dealer, not confronting Death Angel.

The final scene in PQ1, where you're incognito? I'm pretty sure you don't need a radio there, or are even allowed to have one. You get searched before they let you into the poker room. Instead you get a hidden pen transmitter from the cops in your hotel room.

> It seems to me like he started out mad and looked to justify it.

Yes, but that's neither surprising nor a reason to dismiss the anger. People get angry about DRM schemes in video games, even if the slowdown these cause is practically imperceptible. They're angry -- and Gruber acknowledges that factor too -- because a stranger manipulates what they regard as their own domain, without consent by or benefit to the owner.

It might be another instance of consequentialism vs. honor ethics. Many consequentialists don't seem to understand that something that doesn't have demonstrable consequences can still have moral implications.

> it's just about the getting the knowledge out there that's motivating the creator

In that case the creator should welcome AIs with open arms; a human reader will forget eventually, but the AI will preserve the knowledge forever.

> I don't get the fuss about MV2 deprecation

Just observe this thread. It's a tribal moment, an occasion for a consumer to reassure himself that he has the right philosophy, uses the right product and rightly hates these other things that deserve to be hated. The fellow believers can upvote each other and downvote any empirical observation which threatens the faith.

But why Bryant over Butler?

It's interesting because of the conclusion: a noted expert verifying a surprising LLM finding.

But when does a product become waste? When the owner says it is.

I just read "The Tallyman", and I have no idea where this allegory and its moral message is supposed to hide.

It's more likely that the obsession with this theme resides in the reader, not the authors. Give these same stories to Senator McCarthy, and half of them will be clear allegories for the Communist revolution.

Technically you already have need of another format, because Kindles don't support epub, and your books get converted before the transfer.

> Its like driving your car 3 blocks instead of walking, your physical health will suffer.

And be sure to only walk barefoot. Relying on artificial shoes weakens the muscles and the skin of your feet.

"Translate this poem. Maintain meter and rhyme."

Average shot length is down to something like 3 seconds in modern cinema. That's a pretty low bar.

You can't just have that. It won't feel good unless you unlock it with honest gacha!
