Having the police show up, confiscate a bunch of random computers, talk not so nicely to employees. Strikes me as a very simple way of ensuring that agents are properly contained and sandboxed the next time they train on exploit gym.

Haven’t the FM synthesizer patents expired at this point?

You can buy a full FM synthesizer on Temu for very little.

"AI-generated text is painful to read"

It is pretty obvious rails is dead as it hangs massively on its founder for good and for bad.

And it is quite telling that he prefers to kill it off like this rather than handing the reigns over to someone else.

A technical note - the big difference is that a design with a number of fat clients don’t need server side rendered html - that lowers the load on the server regardless of the programming language.

You can probably write quite light json apis in Ruby and the performance of them will be dominated by network and db usage anyways compared to a similar implementation done in a compiled language.

“Temu Elon” - just sampling the comments …

Are we the baddies?

...

Yes.

Ok - I am cool with that.

You are getting good advice here; if you don't go beyond the default AI aesthetics, your implicit communication will be that this is low-effort AI-slop. Regardless of your true effort.

Huawei uses their own non-standard HBM called HiZQ probably not produced by CXMT.

The BYD is sold in Europe but there is higher VAT and a special EU Chinese car import tax - so these cars are about 20k euro.

There is also the Renault Twingo which is in the same class.

You guys make more sense when you are not drunk.

Take a look at those Wikipedia pages I posted - do you the Danes or the Greenlanders ok’ed any of those things?!

The US under Trump is seen a bit like a good strong friend who has gotten way too much to drink and wants to pick fights with everybody - giving him a symbolic win to avoid embarrassment is the right to do.

Anyways that’s the sentiment - you can look at dr.dk and similar via google translate if you want.

In the sense that it is for practical purposes the same deal as before.

Also Denmark does not want to go to war with the US - something that was considered a real scenario just a few months back when the Danes moved an unusual large military force to the island.

No - the US could always do what they wanted - also in the old deal.

In Danish media the new deal is widely being presented as a huge diplomatic victory for Denmark.

The US has been in Greenland, and have had complete military control with it, for many decades. Doing its time there it has conducted a number of activities with very little regard for the people living there or the broader environment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Thule_Air_Base_B-52_crash

(Accidental crash causing the (non-nuclear) explosion of 3 hydrogen bombs and the loss of a 4th.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Iceworm

(A network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet.)

However after the cold war US activity there has been cut to a single base with just over 100 men.

So with the re-newed interest and a willigness to seriously mess up the NATO alliance - what does the US want in Greenland this time around?

Minerals, data centers, launch rockets into space, prepare for climate change, maybe something with the northern sea route?

It is very unclear.

"... such a different approach where you have to be specific about what you want and which options are open" --- back to where we started ...

Yes - I am old enough to remember the Biden admin’s October 7th sanctions, and the chatter about the US having another unipolar moment.

Of course it is - how else could Huawei and a number smaller companies compete with NVIDIA.

Basically signed by all currently living Fields medal holders that are not on payroll of Anthropic or OpenAI.

How about making a police report.

Maybe there is some truth in that reselling Claude subscriptions/trials/api bundles via third parties breaks Anthropic's ToS. The rest is putting a maximum spin on it in order to achieve the political goal of banning Chinese AI. Anthropic is a highly ideological company and they are convinced that they are just in what they pursuit.

Probably useful for influencers, people managing social media, content marketing etc.

The schedule your tennis lessons and do your travel package list scenarios are of course rubbish.

"I was shown a prompt and told the internal research model had simply been given the problem statement. Levent had been told by Sebastien “very little human input” had been used. This turned out not to be true."

The money in nerdy frontier math is very little. The money in Big AI is very very much.

So the deal is this: We will pay an army of you guys very well and you will get to work on your favorite problems. The only thing is if you find something you will have to credit the Machine God.

Do you think you can handle that?

What is DSH / PTC?

Sounds like fun.

But remember you are criminally liable for anything your “agent” does.

(Unless of course you are OpenAI or Anthropic).

But what are you writing? My bet is it is short bursts of text that are thrown away as soon as it is interpreted by your LLM.

Many programmers don't write long text; their way of getting a deep understanding of a problem domain is to build something, is to write code - in a process very similar to writing a long piece of text - it has the same reflection and externalization of thought.

The widespread introduction of LLM code generation is very destructive to that.

Perhaps LLMs can be brought to support human cognition in the same way writing can; but that has yet to be designed and it does not seem to be the way things are heading.

I think an interesting problem, perhaps even more interesting problem, would be the shortest / most concise / easiest to understand (formally verifiably) proof.

Who cares about some billionaire paying another billionaire a million dollars?

WHat matters is our understanding of maths, and whether this sort of thing makes us smarter or stupider.
