This is my experience with Claude as well, and the reason I switched to codex. Codex just seems far more efficient, despite the smaller context window, and it actually follows instructions.
This. German really isn't that difficult for an English speaker. And if someone really wants to make a home and build a life in a foreign country, why would they expect that they don't need to learn the native language?…
No, because the thread is about preventing crimes before they happen, and asserting that this is unquestionably good and an unambiguous moral position. It isn't, even if we accept that widespread enforcement of the law…
Fair enough, I was under the impression that enough data was sufficient.
1) The only difference between a just law and an unjust law is time. I have family members who needed to wear dog tags to drink in certain pubs because of the colour of their skin, and I'm not old. And yet such laws…
It's definitely not. The law is not, and never has been, a moral bar. A healthy legal system requires laws to be able to change over time to reflect society, and sometimes this requires that people be able to break the…
It would depend on what the data says. By the time putting such systems into civil airframes is even a conversation, there will be an enormous amount of data generated by unmanned systems and military vehicles. If the…
When I last looked into it (admittedly a number of years ago now) this was true for remotely piloted aircraft, but there wasn't enough data on systems that pilot themselves with humans doing the navigating. I'm not…
It's unlikely; the energy density just isn't there, even for a hybrid system. Because of the way flight profiles work, you're still talking about enough battery to provide meaningful power for half a flight, which…
The philosophy in aerospace is more to build a better engine rather than to have more engines, and this extends to every aspect of aircraft design. Engines are already built to contain catastrophic failure, and the…
The economy is human-serving and human-legible because humans naturally create economies. Even in the most fanciful pie-in-the-sky projections of AI, human economies will still continue to exist and function, even if…
I'm honestly having a hard time visualizing the technique some of you guys seem to be using.
I have a few black wattle rounds that have been sitting around for years. I have a go at them whenever I feel like I need to be humbled. There's also a fallen tree at the bottom of our property that blunts chainsaws.…
It's hard to know for sure. There are good information theoretic reasons to suspect that general models will always be better than smaller expert models, but maybe a MoE can claw some performance back, albeit with…
Yep. These days, simplicity is a massive part of my development style. I don't want to be looking at a codebase, even my own, and thinking "shit, this guy was way smarter than me".
It is, but they have different use cases. CadQuery uses a geometry kernel that does boundary representation, which you need for path generation for modern manufacturing tooling. OpenSCAD produces a standard mesh…
The context here is that at one point, IBM was an innovator and global leader in the technology space before it got outcompeted. It was the first company to cross a $100 billion market cap. If you think of the IBM of 50…
Google is in an incredibly strong position. They're a top tier AI vendor, and in a world where content creation is largely commoditized and outsourced to AI, advertising companies will determine what gets seen, and what…
The policy is how you select your actions -- in this case, the next token. It can be random, but it doesn't have to be. "Deterministically choose the best action" is a valid policy (we would call it the greedy policy),…
The distillation risk has been brewing for a while now. In a very real sense, the model is the data, so if the data is locked down because of how valuable it is, it was only a matter of time before fully open access to…
You only get good at the things you actually do. Our ancestors had to maintain a minimum level of fitness in order to be able to eat -- a level that most people today never reach, because the modern world has removed…
Cars won because they were (and are) better than the alternatives. The need for powerful individual transportation with utility has always existed, and was originally met with horses. Bicycles meet the transportation…
The issues the US faces are political and humanitarian (and economic) rather than military. I don't see any compelling evidence that the US couldn't open the straits if it really wanted to, it's just that the cost in…
Does this use a boundary representation for the geometry?
This is my take as well. A human who learns, say, a Towers of Hanoi algorithm, will be able to apply it and use it next time without having to figure it out all over again. An LLM would probably get there eventually,…
