Sure, a parent can release their child into the wilderness and when they inevitably hurt themselves, shrug their shoulders and say it's the kids fault. That would still be a failure of parenting.

Kids need varying levels of guidance until their brains mature and they learn how to navigate the adult world, which is why we have the legal concept of adulthood, and age-restricted laws for things like drinking alcohol and voting. Kids are not tiny adults, they're adults-in-training.

Because raising children is unequivocally the parents' responsibility. It's, like, their main job.

HuggingFace doesn't have to be complicit in a lie here - the impressiveness or not of what actually happened rests entirely on OpenAIs report about it, doesn't it?

Why would a model have access to its own weights in any kind of uploadable format?

Flash memory generally doesn't have great lifespan for repeated writes; using it as a root device is going to kill it pretty quickly. I had a similar problem once running a NAS off a USB stick; within a year of so the stick would no longer accept new data and I swapped it out for an SSD instead.

Do you mean that curious growth spike in mid 2020? If so, can you think of anything else significant that happened in mid 2020...?

They used to publish a regular torrent of everything, not sure if they still do that? Maybe you could grab yourself a copy for posterity.

Because it's convenient and solves a problem and there's nothing better available for sensible money - maybe better to ask why no-one seems able or willing to make a product like this that isn't garbage?

Why does it have to be one or the other? 7+ billion small actions add up; power plants and datacenters are still at least partly about fulfilling consumer demand.

Or to put it another way - which of those things is under our control? If one can do something more, then why not? Because billionaires? The climate doesn't blame anyone, it just exists; being to blame or not, doesn't matter when we're all in the same boat together.

Indeed the fighting ended in an armistice so the war was never legally declared to be over. Visiting the DMZ between the countries is a surreal experience - part tense stand-off, part theme park.

"Radioactive Dust 5" doesn't have quite the same ring to it though

That's life I'm afraid - no system that rewards participation can be entirely free of people taking advantage of it somehow. It's an unavoidable cost that we pay to get the benefits. The best we can usually do is to incentivize good behaviour sufficiently that the percentage of bad actors is very low, using rewards and/or punishments as appropriate.

I can't believe it's not better.

For many people and in many places, having a degree is a differentiator that increases someone's chance of being able to earn money. Not everyone is studying because they're interested, but rather because if they don't, their opportunities will be reduced, possibly significantly.

Isn't it s/(s+g), where as you correctly say, g is legit account who want to buy? 1000 people want to buy a machine, 10 of them are scalpers, that's one percent on average? s = 10 and g = 990.

I feel like I'm having a slow day XD

See also BlindWarriorSven, another Street Fighter legend, who as his name suggests is blind.

He does figure briefly in the discussion at the end and doesn't qualify for the full treatment yet as he's a dictator-in-waiting. In any case what is there to say about McDonald's? The man is as boring and tasteless as he is appaling.

I don't see a misrepresentation there - the need to eat and the love of good food is common to most of humanity and points to the fact that even dictators are also just people. Banal humans rather than cartoon villians.

> Hard to remain motivated to consume an article after reading this in the opening.

I think it's unfortunate to be so dismissive of an article over one quote from one person that you disagree with. You can still get something out of the piece if you open your mind a bit.

You know that's true of most films, right? "Aging well" doesn't refer to howly closely it matched reality.

So many notifications - my life would be a mess without them :-) Thank you!

So you'd produce the code using Claude, and then use Claude to verify it? Would you accept my review of my own code?

And how would you verify that the review was accurate?

Are you familiar with the ScienceClic channel on YouTube? They have some really nice videos about subjects like this:

It's OK, we still have picaridin

Statistical significance is about whether an effect can reliably be said to have been measured at all; it's not about whether or not the effect itself would be significant in the sense of moving some other needle.

The ~5% improvement reported here might just be an artefact of the data collection or random variation, rather than a consistent repeatable change.

Nana's Archive would have a nice cozy feel to it

They're very calming

Do we need to keep pointing this out though? LLMs are not going anywhere any time soon and people will keep using them to generate articles.

If the content is also nonsense then that's worth talking about, but otherwise comments about LLM style are about as interesting as remarks about typos.

Mobile wireguard clients are very good as a solution to the access problem.
