As long as trying to break that fiction has real-world consequences like jail time etc., it will work anyway.

Is GPT5.6 Sol Superhuman?

This is not a simple y/n question. Computers have been superhuman at playing chess for decades now. Reading this article, I guess they are superhuman at understanding code now as well.

And to keep around a concurrent browser with full adblock abilities so they can cripple their own without too much of an outcry.

Because your sex slave uses teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee task completion?

The company says the robot completes Laundry Flow and Daily Reset tasks autonomously by default, but uses teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee task completion.

Does that mean some random human looking at my dirty laundry in the middle of my home, the most intimate place in existence for me? No thank you.

Do you want the honest answer?

Everybody and their grandma can "use AI". Reading (and understanding what you read), writing (coherently) and calculating (in your head) are those basic skills that need to be trained and will give you an advantage no matter in what kind of world you live.

well I see more problematic the people actually doing the Iran attacks and murder of heads of state. Betting on those is distasteful, but doing those things is where the damage lies.

So if instead of text we come up with a different representation for mathematical or physical problems, that could both improve

But then, wouldn't we first have to translate all of our current math and physics knowledge into that new representation in order to be able to train a model on it? Looks like a tremendous amount of work to me.

This is like saying that talking about my financial limitations is irrelevant because Jeff Bezos also has financial limitations...

well I AM aware that my comments here are shared with the whole world, which Y Combinator startups are a subset of...

it's actually black and white, and needed some programming to work like this.

I have an e-ink photo frame on the wall that switches picture once every 24h, picking one of my pictures of the last 10+ years by random. So every single one of my tens of thousands of pictures gets a real chance to be seen at least once during my lifetime :)

But transistor designers didn't pivot away from designing transistors. They left Facebook and all the other stuff to others and kept designing better transistors.

Sure, now show us how to recycle spent fuel rods (and become a billionaire).

Newton's laws are a good enough approximation for many tasks so it's not a "false understanding" as long as their limits are taken into account.

Analogy doesn't work because the bomb came first and the reactor later, that is, regarding fission the reactor isn't even here yet. And it was clear from the beginning that the chain reaction is real not hypothetical.

No way I get into a car that has a human driver who literally has no skin in the game.

The fact check will come when some foreign soldier kicks in the door to your basement computer room.

haha that word. back in the 80ies,some polish friends of mine taught me that but refused to tell me what it meant and instructed me to never, ever use it. Until today I don't know what it is about...

Obviously they are not talking about the difference between the two browsers, but between the two situations. Your post looks like you chose the least charitable interpretation in order to pick a fight.

Recent claims that current LLMs pass the Turing test seem to be wildly exaggerated.

historically, "gaining unauthorized access" IS the second meaning.

Best in class chess program actually is a NN, just not a LLM.

I think you are beating a somewhat dead cow here. systemd wars are over. It's in most mainstream systems nowadays, but there are also lots of cool projects out there doing different things. Everything's fine, nobody wants to go into those old pro and con flame wars any more.

While you could argue that it's flooring, it feels much more like truncating. We have a inner representation of time that's like yyyymmdd-hhmmss-mmmm and we truncate it to the precision we need for a given task. If we need the month we truncate to yyyymm, and if we need hours we truncate to yyyymmdd-hh.

That's quit intuitive for all kind of time precision, and the author's rounding solution would be somewhat counterintuitive, at least for me.

but it's nice to have something for mobile too

what's wrong with uBlock Origin on mobile? (available in Firefox)

You claim that a 14% or even a 50% reduction of emissions would make no impact. Well, current climate research suggests differently:

- no reduction: > +4ºC by 2100 - 50% reduction: +2ºC by 2100

And those are two very different worlds we are talking about here.

So no, my comment is spot on: you say that, because current CO2 levels can't be undone, there is no difference between allowing this level to raise indiscriminately and trying to keep it at bay. It looks like you are caught in some kind of thought trap you can't get out of, and you feel like you stepped out of the matrix. Be careful, there is no matrix. It was only a movie.

So we burned a pile of wood and now everyone in the warehouse is having a bad time. Some people in the warehouse say: please stop burning piles of wood, we need what's left from the air for breathing. But you say: nah, can't clean it up, so it's fine let's just keep burning more piles of wood.

This is satire right?

This is bullshit. We, humanity, made a HUGE dent just in the last few decades, albeit in the wrong direction warming up our planet to dangerous levels. So we can't revert it back? Everybody knows that already, and that's not what it's all about. It's not about going back to previous levels, it's about damage control and keeping things at some survivable level, instead of burning it all to ashes within the next few decades.

So please don't make braindead, dangerous and lazy arguments that we can't make a difference. We are making a difference. We have to stop making a difference if we want to survive.
