As an American, I trust Chinese AI providers more than American.
I know your comment is about the absurdity of such a thing, and maybe the stupidity of the administration, but for the readers at home: Fentanyl is actually a very simple molecule. The way it's (and other drugs)…
> AI is dual use technology. And? Computers are dual-use. Cars are dual-use. Telephones are dual-use. Freeze-dried chicken is dual-use. Single-use, i.e. military only technology is actually pretty rare. > This kind of…
Having a chatbot that talks to you about synthetic biology or nuclear physics is just not the same as being equipped to develop biological weapons or atomic bombs. None of this will happen in the "neighbors backyard."…
Or... they just disagree with Anthropic's ethical stances and approach to applying them?
The best conmen have an abundance confidence in themselves.
Lisp is a family of languages. They share a common ancestry. That family is larger than Common Lisp, although Common Lisp is might be the last living descendant. While there are common traits among members of the family…
Since there are other decent dynlangs out there, the benefits are less about the surface language aspect, and more about the process of getting to a solution. These are the system aspects of lisp that enable an…
If you are interested in machine learning, check out Gabor Melis's library: https://github.com/melisgl/mgl. It's not an area I'm super familiar with, so I can't speak to it's feature set, but I believe he used it to win…
lmao, brilliant scientist Elon Musk is NOT. A closer comparison would be general Groves, someone who can get the team and resources in place so the work can get done.
Grammarly used SBCL in production: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/engineering/running-lisp-in-p... It also sounds like they were very much a polyglot shop.
I don't think that's at question in this case. It was decided in Massachusetts v. EPA that EPA is required to make that determination itself. Three years after that decision, EPA basically answered "we think it is." The…
Excuse me, sir, flamebait is classified as a destructive device. I'm going to need to see the NFA tax stamp for this post.
Isn't it a good thing that armed citizens and the professional warrior caste like police and military -- who are also really just other citizens -- work together? If you are asking why the glorious revolution hasn't…
yes.jpg ? We are armed and dangerous, we we want to be. Not to you of course, but to anyone who threatens to cause you death or great bodily harm. How about a thank you for being prepared?
Right, right. Guns are absolutely about power. What is interesting to me about this difference between us is that I really, really want people to have that power: I think it is very important that regular people have…
It can't even do that for long, as the difficulty adjusts downward to compensate.
Tether has the veneer of bank equity from the balance sheet "attestations" it publishes, but I think a better analogy would be that tether issues casino chips for the decentralized casino that encompasses the…
Make Калининград Königsberg Again.
I read this thread and found it interesting, but the mafia boss argument seems weaker than the simple desire of all businesses to have commoditized inputs and avoid vendor lock-in. The oil and gas guys who are friends…
Honest question: if you are nvidia, why not publish the interface specification for your device? If there are silicon bugs, publish the errata and the workaround. I've seen SOC manufacturers do similar. What's different…
Well this is interesting: my perspective is that we are actually already living in the age of the bureau and the technocrat, with only some vestigial democratic traditions, and we have been since 20th century wars.…
I recently sent a low-fee, nearly instantaneous payment over the lightning network with exactly zero trusted intermediaries. LN may or may not be ready for wider-scale adoption, but it was incredibly cool. It gave me…
Where did you acquire this point of view? You sound very certain, but I think you've got it completely backwards: You say bitcoin cannot be a currency because it is highly volatile, but I'd argue that it's just as true…
