Limiting charging below 100% (which many tablets now support) helps, but the battery is still likely to be the component that fails before anything else.
Moreover, Rust traits' associated constants/types get in the way of having a proper bottom type. What would <! as Iterator>::Item be? (In Scala I think it just doesn't compile?)
Not only that, if you have `trait Foo: Iterator<Item = u8>` and `trait Bar: Iterator<Item = i32>` how could `!` implement both of them? It would simply make the language incoherent.
Another ! makes sense to me here. Are there any cases where it doesn't work to auto-assign ! to all associated types of a ! trait impl? Associated constants might require some mechanism similar to `compile_error!()`.
I am pretty sure the average human would not have done this (among other slightly less absurd examples in the article requiring employees to fix it's mistakes):
Andon Labs added: “During the first week of operations, Mona purchased 120 eggs despite the café having no stove and to solve spoilage issues ordered nearly 50lbs of canned tomatoes intended for fresh sandwiches. Employees eventually created a shelf displaying Mona’s strangest purchases: 6,000 napkins, 3,000 nitrile gloves, industrial trash bags and 2.5 gallons of coconut milk.
Made 4800 dollars in 2 weeks, EBITDA of course, with the demand of the novelty of an ai driven cafe, and with a single customer providing 20% of its revenue. In other words, it lost money. For further reading see [1]
I like to think that I possess general intelligence, yet I'm not sure I would do any better in my first two weeks of trying to remotely manage a cafe in Stockholm. But fair point about novelty.
An AGI test should be black-box; we shouldn't impose require requirements on internal components. As long as the overall AI is capable of learning and remembering things, it shouldn't matter if there's a stateless LLM internally.
Unless you infinitely increase the context window, its memory will always be limited. And their latest ARC3 result with and without harness demonstrates how important not discarding memory is for learning.
I also have limited memory though; surely that doesn't disqualify me from possessing general intelligence?
Granted I have more memory than can fit in currently-practical LLM context windows, but RAG mostly solves that. When an AI is thinking about math, it can have relevant math memories in context without needing all the other stuff.
This is why I talked about their speech doing a disservice to all Israelis, not their ability to act with authority. If you need an LLM to interpret 2 short sentences, here is what it thinks:
> No. That sentence does not suggest the people are in the government or military.
> It reads like you mean a group of civilians or public voices whose statements harm perceptions of Israelis generally. “Speak for all Israelis” implies they’re not representatives, not officials.
I don't love this either, but at least it's a short-term economic quirk. At some point fabs will figure out what the long-term demand looks like and scale up production accordingly.
Fabs take a long time to build. The price will come down once the new fabs come on line. It’s expensive because there isn’t enough of it. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s supply and demand. We’ve see this boom and bust cycle again and again.
This cycle might need more competitors, not only more fabs. It's in the interest of three companies to keep supply constrained to raise prices, and they act as a cartel so until the cartel breaks or a competitor grows large enough to have fabs that can make a dent in the demand we will keep seeing high prices.
For a relevant competitor to show up takes much longer than building a fab (which is already a long enough endeavour).
I'm not that hopeful the price for RAM and other PC parts will come down in any meaningful way for the next 3-5 years.
Why does everyone play the game where everything ought to be assumed above-board until someone painstakingly proves otherwise.
> To date, five manufacturers have pleaded guilty to their involvement in an international price-fixing conspiracy between July 1, 1998, and June 15, 2002, including Hynix, Infineon, Micron Technology, Samsung, and Elpida.
We are not the courts. The most reasonable and truth based position is operating with a fuzzy impression that most businesses are substantially more dodgy than their carefully manufactured PR releases are meant to portray themselves as.
And in this case, that includes acknowledging that a literal criminal conspiracy in well within the realm of possibility.
The reason for the price increase isn't hard to figure out. The AI boom is here and the demand is off the charts. Supply is limited and increasing production is difficult and slow.
> Why does everyone play the game where everything ought to be assumed above-board until someone painstakingly proves otherwise.
Because conspiracies are generally not true and it's not needed to explain this situation.
It could be a medium/long term political quirk, because as long as RAM and GPU prices stay high the BigCos maintain a monopoly on non-trivial AI compute, and personal AI can't happen.
I still can't work out if data centre mania is an irrational faddy bandwagon event or a covert socio-political monopolisation strategy.
Or rather creditors scrapping AI datacenters once all the money burning "AI labs" are finally insolvent & repurposong the hardware into something actually useful for people, possibly on chip level with custom PCBs.
That's not at all what the data shows. Lots of aid was crossing the border, but during some periods over 90% of it was being intercepted, according to the UN's own data (https://app.un2720.org/tracking).
Say this figure is true. That is because so little food was allowed in. If food was abundant criminal gangs would not profit out of intercepting and hording it.
However this 90% estimate is cherry picked. It is one report at one time, during a time when Israel was intentionally starving Palestinians during a genocide.
I don‘t think you know what you are talking about. Or worse, you are so invested in creating an apologia for genocide that you come up with these excuses which have been shown to be false.
Hm, if my options are "not knowing what I'm talking about" or being an apologist for genocide, I'll go with being an apologist for genocide every time. Why? Because if someone is going to misconstrue my comments to that extent I'd rather just be whatever evil you think I am because that's more fun.
Let’s not pretend there isn’t a concerted effort to push a narrative about genocide regardless of facts and regardless of Israel’s actions.
Accusations of genocide were made before Israel’s response to Oct 7 even began, with many claiming the genocide has been going on for 80 years — the only genocide in history where the population being genocided grew exponentially during their genocide.
Even Gaza has had population growth over the past 3 years, despite the war (reported births > reported killed).
Creating a throwaway account to espouse an extremely hateful and genocidal rhetoric is honestly a very weird behavior to do on a tech forum. And then you had AI write this short comment for you is even weirder.
I probably should engage with these claims as they are written, but I don’t think anything here is in good faith. I am clearly engaging with somebody who is full of hate, so much so they deny (or even support) a genocide.
What an original ad hominem — anyone who disagrees with your views must be using AI.
Also, you are arguing with bad faith assumptions regarding my views on actual genocide.
As a descendant of survivors of a real one, I’m not about to give you and your ilk my identity. You seem to think that this is something to gloat about. Good on you for feeling that your side has nothing to be afraid of — not everyone is that fortunate.
> Philosophical opposition to AI's impact on society.
I think this is the real reason, while the others don't make that much sense when we really think about it.
Large datacenters are normally limited to industrial zoned land, so they're "competing" for space with other industrial projects, and their externalities are typically mild compared to other industrial projects.
Most datacenters create little traffic, minimal pollution, and no bad odors. They do use substantial power and water, but they pay for it (though in certain cases the economics aren't perfect).
I'd much rather live near a datacenter than a dump, sewage facility, refinery, etc. etc.
