Maybe there's a positive externality: your individual learning percolates to others and benefits the firm as a whole.

What is there to learn? If anything developers are still the one's training and enhancing the models by giving them more feedback cycles and what works and what doesn't.

Is there more to the inspiration than "3d isometric with a lot of staircases"?

I mean I find this quite plausible, but you should tell the guys in the thread above, who are all posting "ha, the UK thinks it can tell a non-UK website what to do, how absurd!" and metaphorically pouring their tea out in Boston Harbour.


I think there's a difference between a website that citizens from country a can access but who are not necessarily the group the website is created for, for free, and a paid saas that I sell to citizens of country a.

Maybe there's a moral difference (I doubt it personally), but there's clearly not a legal difference.

They're both examples of Country A putting a law on the books that constrains sites in Country B. "Don't sell", "don't serve", "don't stand on one leg while fulfilling orders", they're all the same class of overreach.


"help people with depression" is not quite a full description of that website, is it? I thought it had advice on how to kill yourself.

I got 15 nematodes in a row which seems a lot even for an 80% chance.

Update: so now I learned something about compounding as well as about nematodes. Prob is about 0.03, much more than I’d have guessed.


I think something is broken though. I got 20 nematodes in a row. It's around 1% prob.

My first roll I got a Springtail (1%) then second a Beetle (15%) then nematodes came in and outlasted my patience. I wished this was just a table.

AI? There’s an awful lot of “not x but y”.

I think it’s interesting what this approach suggests about who will profit from AI. I’m sceptical that having huge numbers of GPUs is a moat. After all, real humans – even geniuses – are trained on much much less data than the whole Internet. But proprietary and specialised data could very well be a moat. It’s hard to train a scientist/lawyer/analyst without reading a lot of science/law/finance. Companies’ proprietary data might encode a great deal of irreplaceable knowledge. Seems as if Mistral is taking this bet.

> After all, real humans – even geniuses – are trained on much much less data than the whole Internet.

It's certainly different data, but one could argue that real humans have been trained on 3.5 billion years of evolution data.


> And at least the USAF doesn't think remote control will let them do what they need (which is to fly from Japan to Korea or Taiwan, or Philippines to Taiwan, and contest/control the skies in the face of a basically peer adversary).

I mean, they wouldn't think that, would they? It would put their pilots out of a job. But most flying has been done by autopilot long before AI, and even if/when you need a human in the loop, why would you want to put that human in the cockpit rather than safely in Virginia?


I'm beginning to wonder if we need a flag for AI-written posts, just so that those of us who dislike them can avoid them.

Article seems balanced, but the headline omits that a protester shot a policeman in the neck.


I think the headline is valid. I'm of course aware of click-bait or otherwise misleading headlines, but in this case I think it is good. It gets right to the point it wants to make. For additional context, a reader is expected to read the article. I don't know how much information a single headline can reasonably be expected to bear.

If you are intending to spark a discussion on what is or is not justified: 1. I think it is proper for someone who shoots a person to receive stiff legal penalties, as seems to be happening here. 2. I think it is proper for accomplices of a murderer to bear some legal penalties, and the details depend a lot on the circumstances of the specific case. 3. I think it is entirely possible, that someone could be wearing black clothes (a common protest tactic) and otherwise activley involved in the protest without being an accomplice to an attempted murderer.

The Trump administration has an idealogical agenda against whoever they call the "far-left." The concern of the article, and the concern I also share, is that they may use this case to make people who fall in category 3 (protesters they don't like, basically), to be considered category 2. And the really troubling part is that there may not even need to be a category 1!

Protesters in black clothes = domestic terrorists. That's the potential outcome that's very troubling. And also why I think the headline is pretty good.


What difference does that make, exactly? I'm fairly certain there was only one finger on that trigger...


It makes a difference if his compatriots knew he was going to do it, and took material steps to help him do it or help him get away with doing it. They argued, I believe, that they didn't know and only intended to have a peaceful protest, but the jury decided that's not true.


That’s a lot of words for you don’t know what actually happened. /if


I don't know why you would phrase this so confrontationally. All I know is what the source article says, and it doesn't include much beyond the jury verdict that would let anyone guess what happened. If you have a link to the specific evidence that was presented at trial, or other detailed information, I'd love to see it!
