  • People who've never used Rust or only used it once and couldn't grok it like to meme that Rust is bad to cope.

  • They are a useful tool when you understand their shortcomings. They are very inconsistent, so you need to put a lot of guardrails around them.

    I don't really understand how people manage to be productive with swarms of agents. They really need to be babysat IME. I'm constantly waffling between arriving at correct solutions quickly and getting stuck in a tar pit of hallucinated problems and fake analysis.

    That said, I'll be upset when the AI companies inevitably start raising prices or nerfing models.

  • "Trippy" Reality

    Jump

  • Nobody with normal vision both looking at the same original picture claims the blue part is white.

    Doesn't matter what context I view the original image. I've never seen it as blue and black without manipulating the image.

    Jump

  • So Trump threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure. Isn't that a war crime?

  • It has a very recognizable rhythm and tempo.

  • The problem isn't that he doesn't care about the law. It's that our justice dept and congress don't either.

  • Announcing ARC-AGI-3 - A benchmark that tests if AI can explore, learn, and adapt in unfamiliar situations. Humans score 100%. Frontier AI scores 0.26%.

  • I'm talking specifically about the variant of RL used by systems like AlphaGo.

  • Wdym? It's existed for at least a decade. Plenty of papers about it. It mastered Atari and Mario. It became the best Go player.

  • LLMs might suck at this game but I'm pretty sure Deepmind's deep reinforcement learning AI could solve these easily.

    EDIT: I know you guys hate AI around here, but you need to at least be aware of what the technology is capable of.

  • Pentagon confirms deployment of US troops to Middle East – BBC

    Jump

  • It's illegal.

    The War Powers Resolution is a defensive exception to the rule:

    The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

  • Actually Congress is voting against stopping the illegal war that they never declared in the first place.

  • UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'

    Jump

  • I think it would be reasonable to consider reparations for individual descendants of slaves. There are plenty of people alive today that can prove their descendance from a slave.

    Reparations to entire countries in Africa seems a bit absurd to me.

  • Birthdate field under discussion also in Arch Linux

    Jump

  • and it happens exactly as the people whose claim is being denied with “slippery slope” fallacy said

    But this is the crux of the fallacy. What evidence is anyone providing that there is indeed an insidious chain of events we are enabling by adding the birthdate field? Are there examples of cases similar to this in history?

    EDIT: I can tell people are getting emotional about this because I'm being down voted for just asking a question that elaborates the point someone is making.
