good for her. nonviolent obstruction of a commercial endeavor she opposes, much like a sit-in. whether you agree with her perspective or not I think it is important to support her ability to protest in this way, though (as she is well aware) it may come with consequences.

this is so funny to me. it's not just a false signature. clearly the whole thing is false.

a fine hope if unlikely. but I wanted to also note in friendly fashion that the word you want is precedent (or precedents) - precedence has a connotation of "first among" rather than precedent's "came before."

kind of like saying that because a restaurant is doing well, it should allow rats in the kitchen

If a truck driver doesn't tie down their rebar then it flies out all over the highway, we don't call it "rogue rebar," we correctly identify the responsible party and take appropriate measures, such as suspending their license or criminal proceedings.

I think enough of these improperly constrained agent events have occurred that we can safely say this is misconduct of a level necessitating serious and concerted regulation of AI labs. We can't wait until serious harm is done like the disruption of medical or social services.

Hi Aaron!! I'll check out the posts. And yeah happy to take you up on that!

kind of confusing numbers here. the 13 million gallon figure refers to one specific datacenter, but you add on five more datacenters and the number grows to... 765 million gallons? The datacenter in Papillion accounts for 548 million of those. Is it bigger? Is it less efficient? not a lot of info apparent in this report.

If those numbers are yearly, they are significant (about what the city of Lincoln uses in a month) but perhaps not troubling. Depends on your perspective.

With the caveat that I have not watched the video, the title itself rubs me the wrong way. Intent, quality, and artistry as I understand them are not things intended to "scale." You would not, for instance, as a musician, think "I made an album, yes. But how do I scale up to ten or a hundred albums?" You may well think "How can I scale my audience," but that is a different question entirely and not a matter of intent, quality, or artistry. Scaling art is, to me, a wrongheaded notion to begin with.

If you haven't read the book, beware of spoiler warnings in this thread! It's pretty important in this case.

Remind us what the Foveon sensor's quirk was? Something in the subpixel layout as I recall. A non-bayer pattern since abandoned and largely unsupported, yet effective somehow. But maybe I'm imagining this.

ted chiang noted this issue a little while back

you're correct. this video was a pretty good visual exploration of some of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qpdUNMt2yg

my personal understanding is that in-orbit compute is perfectly practical up to some obvious limits like the ones you describe. a few reasonably sized clusters up there (tens of kilowatts) doing high priority processing jobs paid by the flop is a great idea. localized compute on existing satellites already does some of this but some earth observation company being able to rapidly scale up image processing for an hour is a great option to have. the really big stuff is just a fantasy.

it's a stylistic choice. when I arrange my comments in the form of a printed book i'll do a little copy editing.

I think you may want to interrogate why you feel this way a little more before you assign it to a "feature of Chinese culture." Frankly your comment comes across as aggressively ignorant.

What I wonder based on this piece is how much the lived experience for someone in China differs from the view from outside — and the author admits that his is a "fairly narrow window," though certainly wider than mine. But when I visited China, I saw both the part that reflected popular ideas of what it's like there (based on what actually propagates to other countries) but also a part that felt like everyone was playing along with these aspects so as not to stick out.

Of course that may just be me projecting my own perspective onto them, but I did get the feeling that there is a performative aspect to the culture described in this article, and that whatever lies underneath it is likely, as in so many places, not really accessible to anyone who was not born and raised in a place.

I don't think so. It's not just the simple style, which is accurately reproduced. It's missing and incorrect punctuation.

>“I like puzzles” said Toad. “Can I try them?”

Should be

>“I like puzzles,” said Toad. “Can I try them?”

That's how it's punctuated in the books, as far as I can see, and is standard for that type of dialogue. there are several of these omissions.

>“You cannot. These puzzles are for little machines, not people” said Mr. HuggingFace.

>“They could get up to mischief” said Frog.

>“Do not worry” said Toad “I have put each of them in a sandbox.

These don't seem intentional. also:

>“You must be very busy.” said Frog.

should be a comma, not a period.

fun story. missing some punctuation, though: primarily commas at the end the first parts of split dialogue.

in other words, you think that if you're rich enough, you are beyond the law?

the article addresses these matters

that is my understanding of the plain language of your comment, yes

you are suggesting it is unlawful to think that someone is guilty?

we must punish the taxes

I mean logically what you are suggesting is that anything is permissible if you can evade punishment. that's indefensible.

I would say 99 percent of people who use computers could not even really identify what it is these dot agents do

try speaking from your own perspective instead of assuming a universal one. your opinions, however unhinged, will come off as more genuine.

this kind of comment is charting fast for most annoying low effort response

kind of sounds like even you don't know what you want

strange to me that "lofi" has graduated from low fidelity to AI generated downtempo music, which I assume (like the art) is based on the work of real artists.

smooth as butter on 152 in windows 10, as long as we're all reporting

i assume this matter was discussed
