Wtf I can’t even…

Do I read it right that Hamas isn’t responsible for the atrocities they committed?

Ukraine’s attacking with fewer resources and fewer men in a war of attrition. Ukraine simply cannot win in that context.

This offensive != war.

Ukrainian strategy is fucking insane to watch and Russia simply isn’t incurring the losses necessary to pull out of the conflict.

It will likely take a couple more years to see who will outlast who.

Of course Ukraine can win. But I understand why a Russian imperialist would like everybody to believe that Russia is undefeatable (even though Russia was defeated many times).

you’ve bled half of your able-bodied men to either the frontline or the border.

It’s Russia who spills Ukrainian blood, let’s be clear about that.

But seeing your post history, you’re a Russian imperialist / apologist, so I guess you know that and just twist facts intentionally…

The problem with saying LLMs are AI - let alone a step towards AGI - is that they cannot create.

I’m not sure if there’s an intrinsic difference between humans and LLMs here. What we, including children, do is just re-hashing, re-combinating what they’ve seen / heard. I think it would be very difficult to prove that people come up with completely brand-new ideas without any external inspiration (= training input).

The examples are not really convincing of your point. The GPT output is pretty good given the ask, I’m not sure if my daughter would fare better.

I’m not a fan of discussing such terms since it devolves into arguing vague definitions.

Assuming LLMs are not intelligent, they prove that you can do heck of a lot without even being intelligent.

GPT might not be a step towards AGI, but it proves that even non-general AI can be pretty strong and have a very wide range of applications.

It’s a problem for people who indebted themselves to buy those homes with a valuation based on scarcity. Also a problem for the real estate Chinese companies, sector which represents a quarter of Chinese economy.

Outside of UK, Coventry is mainly known for the bombing, is there some connection to its current bad state?

Really sorry to spoil the Putinist schadenfreude here, but Morawiecki simply said that they already stopped a while ago because they ran out of weapons to donate. It has no connection to the grain row.

Because it was taken out of context and used by Russian propaganda, Morawiecky later announced that Poland of course remains committed to Ukrainian defense effort.

He would love to, but he just can’t, at the moment.

It will make a difference if you don’t get enough of it. But having enough of it will just feel normal.

Some, like tschüß, servus or ciao are informally used by some Czechs, others like guten tag, bon jour, dobro došli are understood, but not used unless in some joke way. It would be pretty weird to encounter any of them when talking to e. g. hotel staff, though, unless there’s an expectation you speak that language.

Far right gonna naziing and far left gonna tanking. Does not say much about political stability…

Have you thought about why Switch is the best selling console in the current generation even though it’s by far the weakest in performance?

Who cares what OS the AWS machines are running? I can’t touch it, it’s completely inaccessible for me and other clients. I can only touch the services which AWS provides. I wouldn’t know the difference if it was running windows, since the OS is completely transparent, basically a hidden implementation detail.

You keep making the assumption that AWS == EC2, meanwhile it is just one of many services AWS provides.

Abstracting away is costly. You can target only the lowest common denominator. The abstractions are going to leak. It’s like the criticism of ORMs, only worse since SQL is at least standardized.

That must be why SMIC just showed 7nm capability years ahead of when people expected it.

Nah, it was expected all the way since SMIC bought 7nm lithography machines from ASML. It will be more interesting to watch when they start building their own lithography machines since their current stock will not scale (and will eventually break down without spare parts).

That must be why Russia is projecting GDP growth this year and Russia’s manufacturing

Yeah, according to Rosstat :-)

Who do you think you’re convincing with this?

I’m not trying to convince anybody, I’m fine with the current sanction course. But it’s kinda funny to watch the Russian / tankie desperate “sanctions don’t work, so … you know there’s no sense in continuing them, so … you should lift them.”
