I think this is a good comment. Could you also provide an example of a true (essential?) proof of contradiction of an elementary mathematical statement, to illustrate?

If /dev/null is fast and web scale, I will use it.

I did this immediately when wordle came out, too. Here's what I got for top 5 starting words along with the entropy:

"tears" 6.00570508021708 "teras" 5.95925128791865 "teals" 5.90122552646963 "tares" 5.88711668336419 "lears" 5.86158270234831

Using another metric which I called consistency (I think it was just minimizing the biggest bucket possible afterwards, trying to beat absurdle fast), the best starting word was tied between "arise", "raise", "aesir", "reais" and "serai". All of these have a worst-case scenario of 168 valid words remaining.

I find it interesting that different implementations seem to come up with slightly different rankings. Maybe the dictionaries are different?

It makes sense to me if the buyer is concerned that the performance would revert towards the mean on second generation if you attempt to breed further. But... The new paradigm is not breeding, it's cloning. So it seems like "one shot" high performance steeds even without pedigree could be viable?

I feel like I am missing a lot.

What would it even mean for the ublock origin runtime framework aka firefox to be equipped with an adblocker?!

Lee Sedol vs AlphaGo way back was it for me. Not exactly genAI, but that was when I saw that where I thought we were vs where we actually were on a problem could shift by 10 years in 1 week.

Seems like the opposite to me. We don't like theft because the victim loses something. If stealing a car spawned a new car for you while the "victim" kept his, would it be a problem? So I don't really get the murder analogy. It's more like if the government had defined some act as murder even though nobody died.

I love "Let our Fame be Great", about the history of the peoples of the Caucasus. Strongly recommended.

The first person videos of drones hunting terrified soldiers coming out of Ukraine seem relevant. Apparently the last moments of the hunt are pretty much automated now, which increased the kill-rate considerably.

I had the same reaction.

I was thinking the same. But it worries me that these news about Motorola in particular doing shady shit. I was looking forward to the upcoming GrapheneOS/Motorola partnership :(

This is a fascinating topic which was covered in-depth here: https://acoup.blog/2021/03/05/collections-clothing-how-did-t...

If I remember correctly, it claim is that about 50% of all labour over the course of history has gone into making textiles. More than food!

Having a stupid name is tables stakes in the search space.

So the death of asm.js is upon us? We are drifting away from the timeline of the prophecy:

(And to those who haven't encountered this before, I strongly recommend a watch. It may be the greatest tech talk of all time, for certain values of greatest.)

If you phrase it as an "insurance scheme", then sure they can? All insurance schemes work by giving you money if bad stuff you don't control happens. I'm sure they could.

They probably won't.

I remember a reading a similar prediction from several years ago, too, with more or less the same reasons. If I'm able to dig it up, I'll post a link.

It does make complete sense, doesn't it?...

I use ect on a monthly basis, at least. Especially for png files. It's pretty great!

Are the comments real?

I guess this is kind of the recursive version of the purported phenomenon, but, are we sure all those comments aren't just bot generated outrage so people can have big engagement by feeling superiour or whatever?

I guess Americanisms bleeding over into English LLMs as used in Britain happens similarly.

Should we also be expecting to see bleed-over of Indian English into generic English LLMs? Or is it not relatively large enough compared to America to force it, unlike Brazil to Portugal?

At first I checked out this happiness survey claim, which is true. Then I was thinking, maybe my initial informal impression was wrong?

But looking at the depression and alcoholism data, it also seems to be true!

This is really confusing!
