Former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy wrote on X that GPT-4.5 is better than GPT-4o but in ways that are subtle and difficult to express. “Everything is a little bit better and it’s awesome,” he wrote, “but also not exactly in ways that are trivial to point to.”

plebeian, you don’t understand, you’re sniffing our farts wrong

imagine getting out of high school during or after 2008 and deciding yes i need to fuck over common people harder

he’s training to be professional healthcare denier, there were many despicable choices going back for a decade or so

these people have memory of goldfish on ambien

if they had any spine, they could turn it around when opportunity comes. but i doubt they do

where downsides?

it’s not startup gambling if it’s embezzlement

i don’t think it helps his case that he’s using chatgpt as a lawyer

old lecturer at my maths-for-chemists* course used to say something like this before exam: “Please don’t try to invent new maths, I won’t stop you of course, but it’s a sign of great hubris to think that you’d outdo three thousand years of development in four hours. Just learn beforehand, it’ll be easier”

* a bit of linear algebra and calculus, just enough to get absolute basics of group theory as needed in spectroscopy and to solve one-electron Schrödinger equation for intro to computational chemistry

not only money runs out, it’s also some categories of military equipment. i mean, it’s not like russia will run out of tanks entirely, because they still have ongoing production, but most of what goes to front are increasingly old rustboxes reanimated in tank factories - because it’s faster than building new one, but that happens too.

according to perun, they’ll start running out of tanks, ifvs, apcs, things of this type somewhere in 2025 - that is, storages will be emptied and any replacements would have to be new, which means that replacements will come something like 5x slower. it’s a bit harder to say with artillery, because barrels have limited number of shots and it is known that barrels can be taken from towed guns to put them in self-propelled guns. but it’s also bad, even if it means there’s another year there

if ziz is not a flight risk, then idk who is

in true rrrrationalist fashion, they would just let her free if she explained everything (just like sbf):

LaSota ended the hearing frustrated with her ability to effectively communicate her message.

“I shouldn’t, um …” LaSota said, taking a long pause. “I wish I could be more eloquent, maybe I could if the circumstances were better.”

i’ve installed it for my 70+ grandparents, they had no problems with it at all for a couple of years. (granted they just read news on it) i’ve used it on a two laptops for a 10y+ now and outside of typical linux problems that require minor configuring (bluetooth and wifi driver related mostly) it all works since day one, batteries included. for a couple of years timeshift is bundled in ootb so even if you fuck up there are backups

as in, distro for normal people? (for arbitrary value of normal, that is) distrowatch ranks mint #1, and i also use it because i’m lazy and while i could use something else, It Just Works™

altman, srinivasan, raghavan, ellison, andeerssen, all these musk’s underlings; yarvin, and even yudkovsky would probably get a spot somewhere

idk if one deck would fit all of them, i mean these that hit news at this point

i would also put zucc as #2

what can i say except
