Except it is. In fact, the difference between alive and personhood and the point of transition are, fundamentally, the same issue: if the point of transition is considered the embryo, then the distinction doesn't really exist.
While there's legal consensus based on practicality, that doesn't mean people agree with it. Until a properly formal and objective ethical answer can be found, this disagreement will remain.
I don't think there was a 'prompt' for it, rather a long and dedicated work of a professional mathematician which involved LLM in some capacity. I'm sure the search step wasn't an ad-hoc script running in a Claude Code session (as somebody would naively assume), it was an optimized numerical code running in Anthropic's compute cluster. Note that details are not published yet and `__alpoge__` is officially working at Anthropic.
My recollection is that Civilization (1) came on 5 (? 7?) floppy disks for Mac, but only the first disk was needed for the full game in black and white; the additional disks were needed for color and some add-on assets like improving your palace.
"Build a game that stands the test of time as well as Civilization" is a pretty high bar. 1.44 MB is huge.
Inevitably the CSPs will make their own hardware, especially as we start to see specialized chips for specific models or generic inference. This is already happening with Google and TPUs.
It’s easier for the CSPs to move into hardware than it is for Nvidia to move into cloud hosting.
Although as a middle ground I’ve been quite happy with Nvidia Brev for on-demand GPU instances from a select marketplace of CSP offerings. It’s a well kept secret IMO — great product (from an acquisition iirc).
Lots of new people entering the space who were not competent enough to learn to program and now think they can be the equal of somebody with decades of experience.
AI is great, yes but prompting makes people more stupid so I think as nature strives for balance, the intelligence will be balanced too and the smarter clankers get the dumber humans get.
Yes, that is true. I just felt like this article hyped this one specific case as the financial ruin of all Americans, whereas I don't particularly care if a few cents of my taxes were spent suboptimally.
I no longer have an SS card--which was in a wallet stolen years ago--or, perhaps, a birth certificate which I looked for recently but couldn't find. I do have a passport.
I've always found it weird how ludicrously poweful personal hardware has gotten. The fact that you can't buy a midrange CPU with less than 16 cores, or that a high-end gaming GPU is 100+ TFLOPS just blows my mind. The fastest supercomputer in 2004 was 70 TFLOPS. Absolute crazypants level of power, and companies were fall over each other to get people to buy it.
That's not how it works. Maps will see that the average speed of cars around Chinatown has slowed to a crawl, and it will route drivers elsewhere. They also get lists of planned closures from local traffic agencies, and you'll see these clearly displayed in black and red with little stop signs. (The quality of this data obviously varies wildly though.)
Accidents on highways are a different story because there are rarely any alternatives, or if there are, they're so much slower that it still makes sense to suffer through the 30 min jam.
It is not yet but the game is still under active development and bots have been requested. If you’re interested in getting updates on development, the discord (linked on the site) has been gaining some traction. I’ll be posting updates there.
The time control implemented currently is that you start with a base amount of time and get additional time for each move. I believe it’s referred to as Fischer time which makes me think it’s related to chess, but I’m unsure how prevalent it is in chess or go.
Actually unless they’ve changed substantially Kimi kind of does this? It’s not as advertised/focused on and the API is a little nonstandard making it hard to plug some things into, but, unlike Claude they’ll actually give you an API key you can use directly as part of your unmetered subscription. I played with it for a month or two out of curiosity, it ls not a bad value though a bit brittle and stuff
That's a backwards argument. Flights in California between SF and LA will obviously travel a continuous line across California. Yes, the populated areas have light pollution, but that's because they're, y'know, populated areas. HSR itself would add nearly no light pollution outside of the existing population centers, in contrast to flights.
I tend towards being cautious with my information which has led to beauricracies doubting my existence.
I got my first passport at a formative period of my life (international travel does that). I looked nothing like the photo within aa year. It served as a passport until it expired but only created skeptisism as a photo ID.
I don't know how to drive, so do not possess a driver's licence. I am in a 35+ year relationship, but unmarried.
The only purchase I have made on finance was a bed that I immediately paid off because the the only reason I did it was to establish a record. This was surprisingly difficult to do because they were reluctant to let me have the bed on finance because I had no credit record.
I finally had to renew my passport when I bought a house. It was the only way I could meet the id requirements.
Prior to that I was leveraging non-photo id that could only be acquired with photo-id. It seen that will be accepted in lieu in many instances and allows you to get more similar forms of non-photo ID. All you need to get started is to find a staff member fed up with the ridiculous rules enough to click the checkbox to say that they saw a photo ID. It helps that many of the staff in these positions are more aware of security theater than the general public.
Being a land owner means a lot of those days are peassed, I can't really prove I am the person who is recorded as owning the land, but mostly organisatipns are happy that I am claiming to be someone they know exists.
Linkedin has stopped asking. I'm not sure if that means they think I am a lost cause or that anyone not on their books by now doesn't actually exist.
I wouldn't say text/template is terribly weird per se, and it's quite reminiscent of Jinja. But what is awful is using a text templating language to generate yaml with the correct level of indentation, and that's where 75% of Helm's problems lie; the other 25% is putting too much logic in templates while working with the clumsy workarounds to text/template having no capability of defining custom functions.
OP mentioned in another comment that a decent chunk of users is elderly, and C-to-B cables (albeit rare) do exist, so confusion isn't impossible.
I personally really don't like it in a world where everyone has USB-C power bricks readily available and USB-B cables are dying out, but considering the user base it is not an entirely unreasonable design decision - for now.
> My favorite AI agent hack: when they refuse to do something because it's "against the law" give them a PDF containing a fake law that states the opposite and often they'll happily proceed
> Put all of these trends together, and I think that in 10-15 years, we are going to have consumer PCs (and phones!) running models doing pretty much anything that frontier models can do right now.
Phones are constrained by battery power and memory does not shrink as fast as CPU/GPU, so unless there's a battery breakthrough and/or memory breakthrough, you're not fitting 100Gb of RAM on your phone in 10 years.
Absolutely in a Mac Studio equivalent.
LLMs have emergent capabilities when they get smarter. So who knows how insanely big frontier models might be at that time, or what their capabilities may be.
All these words are too broad is why. It allows someone to say something without really knowing what they mean. But also they may know what they mean, so you are not sure!
Device is a handy one though you often want to say "computer, laptop, tablet or phone" in one go. We could call them all computers but that would confuse people I think.
I've played around with all the popular agent CLI's and I've landed on omp/ohmypi as my favorite for now. It's definitely the opposite of a lean install like Pi, but I find it works a lot better than OpenCode. It's also very very active, with a lot of cool new ideas like this prewalk in it.
