You don't even need that. Just a decent dust mask that seals over your mouth and nose that has an exhalation port on it, with the nitrogen inlet fitted in place of the dust cartridge. You need a dust mask that has a one way flapper valve over the inlet, which most do. Here's an experiment I did as an emergency fresh air kit: Fill a large wheelie bin garbage bag with air and duct tape it closed over a 1 inch pipe. Attach the pipe in place of the dust cartridge with duct tape. Put the mask on and breath normally. The bag will deflate over about 15 minutes or so, depending on the size. I noticed no breathing distress like I was getting co2 buildup. If you fill the bag with nitrogen instead of air you have a death machine for $15 in parts. 15 minutes is plenty of time.

The question doesn't even make sense. You have to redefine it to "purpose" or some other word to even get started. The only literal interpretation is "what does 'life' mean?", which is just something like "a metabolic system capable of Darwinian evolution".

When they hallucinate, they don't do it consistently, so one option is running the same query through multiple times (with different "expert" base prompts), or through different LLMs and then rejecting it as "I don't know" if there's too much disagreement between them. The Q* approach is similar, but baked in. This should dramatically reduce hallucinations.

Edit: added bit about different experts

Yeah, I'm surprised Google or another big player hasn't released something yet, or that the people like the IETF haven't had any RFCs or produced any practical standards. Now's the time to get market dominance. Perhaps nobody will react until the shit hits the fan.

I mean, pgp is great, but in this day and age we need a simple standard people can use to sign media without a hassle and we may also need chain of custody in light of social media (edits and whatnot). Developers will likely need or want to build it into their software, so we need a standard. I don't think the pgp approach really worked for most people.

Yeah, you'd need to produce 2 nuclear power stations per week to keep up with growth in solar alone. It's going to have a part to play, but it's ever slipping into irrelevance.

Don't be offended at the language - that's just friendly banter for an Aussie. You get used to it.

You may not have discovered TVP yet. You should do so.

Oruxmaps is pretty good too.

The max on this graph is 21.2. Each year, the time when cooling begins is getting later. If it's anything like last year, it seems possible it could break 21.5. Where is this 21.9 coming from?

Wait until they discover what stable diffusion can do, running locally.

Ah, you're suggesting using RFC 3514. Good thinking.

Fractal universe theories have been proposed. I don't know many details myself, but just thought it was an example of how you can still have theoretically infinite detail within a finite system.

Fractals are infinite

what about edited?

I'm not sure this is going to help your mental state, but the word is "worst". A is worse than B, but C is the worst of all.

No.

automaton — Noun: 1. A machine or robot designed to follow a precise sequence of instructions., 2. A person who acts like a machine or robot, often defined as having a monotonous lifestyle and lacking in emotion., 3. A formal system, such as a finite-state machine or cellular automaton., 4. A toy in the form of a mechanical figure. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/automaton

I said automaton wrong for years. I said auto-maton instead of au-tomoton. I still cringe a bit thinking about it :-/

Ferrock is an interesting new development. Stronger than concrete and absorbs CO2 when curing.

I was just looking at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and it listed appen as a site that breached my details. I had no idea who they were or why they had my details. I guess this is related?

Appen: In June 2020, the AI training data company Appen suffered a data breach exposing the details of almost 5.9 million users which were subsequently sold online. Included in the breach were names, email addresses and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Some records also contained phone numbers, employers and IP addresses. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com.

They have released it on github. The code is only about 500 lines. But releasing the model is arguably more important because that sort of compute is not affordable to any mortals.
