Nobody wants to wear shit on their face or have another device to charge.

Money down the drain, but itâ(TM)ll be funny to watch again.

Because if you're just new'ing an object for the lifetime of the project then its destructor isn't going to be called when the program ends. That would be unexpected behavior.

I'm part of the 1/3 that voted against it. I'll bitch as much as I want.

Because I've tried using LLMs to generate code and I've seen the results. They are not usable. They *resemble* valid code, but they typically throw exceptions and raise errors, they can't pass unit tests, and they don't correctly handle edge cases. AI-generated code is a mess that *superficially looks right* but isn't fit to purpose.

There is a meme going around about the fact that you can tackle a normal coding task by spending 3 hours to write code and 1 hour to debug and test it, or you can use CoPilot to spend 15 minutes to write the code and 8 hours to debug and test it. That matches my experience.

You can go ahead and take the quotes off of "fascist".

Here is an excellent video where a history professor addresses questions regarding dictatorships, including fascist ones, which shows some telling parallels with the current Trump presidency. It talks about how they like to dismantle certain functioning aspects of the government for their own power as well.

Understood. Which is why I believe any effort to take on illegal immigration should target the people hiring them for exploitative wages much more than the immigrants themselves.

I'm sorry, but when it exactly did this fascist nonsense become so popular?

Maybe this might not apply as much as I'm not thinking of the UK, but here in the US as a white dude I've always enjoyed the fact that we're made up of so many cultures due to immigration over the years. From different foods, religious beliefs, ideas, I find much of them fascinating. And I'd hate to see what we'd be like if only white Anglo-Saxon Protestants had been welcome. And I'm not saying that group of people are bad or anything either, it's just by welcoming others also we became so much more as a culture.

People from the right often criticize the left for being hesitant to listen to certain speech or ideas, and instead having to run away to "safe spaces" to cope. I'm not sure about all that, but if one has those beliefs it might also be worth wondering if they run to cultural safe spaces to cope as well.

Well MAD may help keep the peace to an extent. But one important point to consider the possibility of an "oops". IIRC there have been a couple times in history we came close to nukes being launched between USA and USSR due to a faulty reading or a misunderstanding. Dangerously close, too. The story quite possibly could have ended a different way.

The answer to this is simple and has been around for decades.

Prof gives a topic. You are instructed to show up able to write a paper on that topic without notes.

Papers are then collected and graded.

Simplest is easiest.

I have bought Bitcoin every week since 2015.

I am not angry. I am very rich.

It is still early.

Cheers

It goes to infinity or zero.

Bitcoin has been very good to me. I donâ(TM)t get the shade and hate; I learned about it here a very long time ago.

Hodl.

Optics are an order of magnitude or even worse than copper interconnect.

Cluster complexity is currently limited by L1 reliability on optics. Much development happening very quickly.

First off, anyone here using critical thinking skills and game theory should have already thrown some bucks in at some point in the last decade. What the hell?

Bitcoin made me wealthy. It can still make you wealthy.

Bitcoin has two states; zero, or it grows to consume all free liquid capital and ends up a proxy for global GDP growth. The implications of it's economics are clear, and we now have more than a decade of validation.

This is the very definition of asymmetric bet.

There is a tremendous first mover advantage to countries buying Bitcoin.. but it's a prisoners dilemma; once someone moves, everybody loses the ability to steal wealth through money printing. With the US debt approaching 37T, buying Bitcoin might force others to do so and ramp the price up - allowing you to print USD in unlimited quantity, buy the hardest of all assets, then have other counties.. literally pay back your debt.

What a time to be alive.

Cheers

I was lured out of retirement to build these monsters.

Current capabilities are not yet defined. Until folks know the ultimate performance envelope, any application or lateral move outside of core AI can be obsoleted almost instantly.

You'll see this continue until that leveling happens, or the AI starts to improve itself and there's a clear correlation between capabilities and power consumption.

Until then, it's wide open throttle. Most people either are having a very hard time accepting they're going to be replaced or are blissfully ignorant of the pace of development and advance.

O1-mini easily identified the information was irrelevant and produces the correct answers .. it is also the first model with basic advanced reasoning.

Insane resources are deployed. It is a race to when they stop getting smarter.. not there yet.
