What a joke. Compared to US, implementing chat control is like a pin prick compared to the scale of MAGA fascism. The EU is probably the best example of functional government anywhere in the world right now.

Weeding actually seems like a fantastic usecase for those humanoid robots like figure, unitree, atlas etc. it’s easy and accurate plant recognition is mostly a solved problem.

They've got some robots that do it already, targeting weeds with lasers.

I got to say, whatever my opinion of Iran, they’re really leveraging the few advantages they have very well. Between the Shahed drones, the threat to the desalination plants and essentially the complete shut off of oil and natural gas, there is nothing anyone can really do. You can’t defang Iran because those Shaheds are tiny and can be stored and launched from anywhere. You can’t send in an invasive ground force because that will result in tens of thousands of coalition deaths. You can’t bomb their cities because they don’t care about civilian deaths. This might end up actually solidifying the Islamic Republic then if you had just let events run their course.

We appear to be planning to send a ground force. I suspect that the US has overwhelming force, as it did in Iraq and Afghanistan. But it would also be a bloodbath; Iran is better prepared than either of the two previous opponents are.

"The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it." -Paul Atreides

A quote from fiction which should continue " ... at the point of destruction, after which there is nothing to control."

That doesn’t make sense. Commits are all text. If YouTube can easily handle 4PB of uploads a day with essentially one large data center that can handle that much daily traffic for the next 20 years, GitHub should have no problems whatsoever.

Even without charge attraction, say anti-neutrons (I don’t know the term) would instantly resolve because neutrons are everywhere.

SGI - Sub General Intelligence or another more colloquial word commonly seen amongst users of wallstreetbets.

If anything this makes the test much harder for the LLM to get high scores and that makes the scores they’re getting all that much more impressive.

The scroes they're getting are on the order of 0-1% for this ARC-AGI-3 benchmark.

I wonder what was in that solutions file they provided. According to the prompt it’s a solution template but I want to know the contents.

Another thing I want to know is how the user keeps updating the LLM with the token usage. I didn’t know they could process additional context midtask like that.

I still like it as a general search engine and everyday LLM over Gemini. Maybe I’m just used to the style.

agree it's becoming my new default search engine. But it is actively getting worse in a distasteful sense:

    Want to hear the one TRICK most people forget when doing X...?

Yes, every response ends with that. Why did they set it up that way?

To try and get continued usage. They no doubt A/B tested the shit out of this and saw it gets higher responses

It's quite transparently a trick to prolong engagement with the app, just as pretty much any internet product which aims to maximize the LTV extracted from the user base.

I would suggest to edit the default prompt to tell it to avoid engagement bait.

Honestly, it’s bait phrased but I’ve learnt a fair bit from those and end up learning a lot more from the session overall.

I far prefer perplexity for that. The fact that it always cites its sources is great. And it has a search bar widget for android, and search bar integration for firefox so its pretty easy to use.

But how? Iran is right next door. They can target any mode of getting oil out of there. Not just the strait of Hormuz but any pipelines that lead away from the region can just as easily be targeted. One Shahed to the pipeline is all it would take.

At these higher prices you can safely bet other producers are drilling new wells, adding more infrastructure, and upgrading refineries.

That’s not going to replace the sheer volume of the Middle East.

Yes it can. It's only 20%. The difference is ME is very cheap to extract relative to other places like shale.

You really haven’t been paying attention to Ukraine. You can launch them from trucks. from boats. You can make them so cheap defense becomes too costly. What people don’t seem to get is that you that much of modern infrastructure is not scalable to an age of war and chaos the US is unleashing in bid to shift power dynamics from economy (which China is winning) to military.

Pipelines have endless vulnerability surface as Ukraine showed and just do the math on trucks vs a super tanker.

> You can make them so cheap defense becomes too costly.

That's because the US chose to shoot them down with Patriot missles, like morons. Ukrainians have developed cheap interceptor drones for this very purpose.

There are also radar-guided anti-aircraft guns like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flakpanzer_Gepard

Just for context it’s about $1 million per patriot vs just $2000 for the Ukrainian Shahed interceptors.

As low tech as they are, they fly low, can’t really be detected by radar and you only need one to get through. Pipelines are long and can’t be protected.

Why not? Put them in the ground instead of on the ground. Or put a heap of sand on them to absorb the blast.

Yeah buried pipelines are common but I can’t imagine Iran is going to let them be built without interference. Also, a 2000 mile buried pipeline can take 2-3 years to build and that’s without account for 2-5 years of planning, permitting and land acquisition phase. None of this is going to happen soon.
