Gold is fluctuating wildly in price. It is meaningless to talk about measuring commodity prices in gold.

Please tell us where your window is - how can we avoid climbing through your window, if we don’t know which window we are not supposed to climb through.

This shooting war is going to end some way, eventually. And the ending is going to be some form of diplomacy, implicit or explicit. Even just agreeing to pretend each other don’t exist is a form of diplomacy.

The only case where Iran should not care about pissing off Trump, was if the US was totally annihilated. Trump is a madman with a nuclear suitcase.

But Iran does need to negotiate. They are being bombed quite a lot right now. Iran is not going to surrender, but they would prefer not to get bombed. Antagonizing Trump is not going to help Iran.

Israel will make sure hardliners are in control when the war ends, so they can justify reaching across the border regularly to strike targets for domestic political reasons,

Israel has been hit by rockets by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah regularly. Israel doesn’t want a hard line government in Iran that continues supporting Hezbollah, it is quite simple. No need to invent some tin foil hat justification for Israel.

Like, maybe? She could also just be a jerk. It is hard to know without social cues on context.

Sony loves making their own custom formats.

Stuff is just getting more expensive, because of demand competition with AI. There is no reason to think that production for non-AI computing will ever hit literally zero.

The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.

Those are not the same.

• Hezbollah was firing rockets at Israel from Southern Libanon. Occupying the land until Hezbollah/Lebanon promises to stop shooting rockets at Israel is in principle legal under international law.
• Russia’s invasion/annexation of Ukraine is entirely illegal and unjustified.

RAM used to be ~$4/GB. So 300*4=$1200. A price increase of $1200 is actually pretty darn affordable to get self driving, surely?

Sure, there are other components than RAM needed. But the RAM is not what would make it unaffordable.

The world is not that simple. There are too many combinations to try. And you risk hitting local maxima, even if doing the gradient thing.

I were simply unable to convince Codex to split a patch into separate git commits in a meaningful way. There are things that just doesn’t work.

Still useful for lots of stuff. Just don’t use it blind.

If used by an expect developer, then the combinations are not just random “lucky” choices.

Well, yes, that is a central point.

I am a senior programmer. LLMs are amazing - I know exactly what I want, and I can ask for it and review it. My productivity has gone up at least 3-fold, with no decrease in quality, by using LLMs responsibly.

But it seems to me that some people on social media just can’t imagine using LLMs in this way. They just imagine that all LLM usage is vibe coding, using the output without understanding or review. Obviously you are very unlikely to create any fundamentally new solutions if you only use LLMs that way.

only to find out you didn’t provide adequate requirements for your config.

Senior programmer. I know exactly what I want. My requirement communicated to the LLM are precise and adequate.

The database was an arbitrary example. A more relevant example would be tenserflow layers in a neural network. As I understand it, you can in some cases get a novel solution to a problem just by choosing a smart enough combination, with the right data.

ChatGPT absolutely knows how to help doing the grunt work setting up the tenserflow configuration, following your directions.

Even novel solutions are usually built out of smaller common building blocks. E.g. many novel solutions surely use a database. You can make the LLM help you set up and use the database, that your novel solution uses.

As I read it, they are scared of the Chinese Communist Party having an “official” back door built in. Not run-of-the-mill criminal bot-nets.

Yes - but you can choose any point to stand on. So all arbitrary separations in to “East” and “West” are equally valid.
