They’ve mentioned that they will have the ability to access less guarded models with a verification program in the future. I suspect these guard rails will have options to move past them shortly here in the future.

“Let’s not indulge US regulators fantasies that they get to dictate the product design of cars from non-US countries.”

Of course governments have the ability to decide what products are sold in their countries and how.

[fauigerzigerk → conception]

They ultimately don't have that power. All they can do is block the sale of products. Arguably, that power gives them leverage to negotiate the availability of some products or features. But as this Apple case shows, this negotiating leverage is limited.

So this page is just to shame people using LLMs and to make you feel better?

[conception → aogaili]

More to point out everyone has the same LLM discovery patterns. But none of the methods seems to have observable, measured improvements over the basics and tend to regress back.

> everyone has the same LLM discovery patterns

there's so much discussion about AI and "everyone" might just be reading the same things.

this is a good indication not to treat this particular phrasing of a discovery path as canonical

[aogaili → conception]

The tech is barely two years old and people are exploring the usage.

I think it's better to keep an open mind instead of claiming to have seen the pattern. Indeed, there is a lot of hype and delusion but there is genuine progress and it's clear as the sun, anyone claiming anything else is equally risky of being delusional at the other end of the spectrum.

On: New U.S. college grads now have higher unemployment than the average worker

> college education is a shortcut to generic employment

That was/is the societal narrative for the last forty plus years, yes.

[SL61 → conception]

Yep, I remember being told that it doesn't matter which major I pick because there would be jobs that wanted just any bachelor's degree.

I'm sure high school kids are still being told that today, and it might not be entirely false. Decent-paying jobs have certainly become more specialized for specific college majors, but I still see local job listings on the lower end of the white collar pay scale that ask for a BA/BS without expressing preference for a specific major.

[bombcar → SL61]

When only the self-selecting intelligent/diligent/driven went to college, selecting college graduates was a huge win.

So then everyone decided everyone should go to college - to me that's manifestly not the case, but that's where we are; plumbers doing quite successfully for themselves with a degree in something or other that doesn't matter at all.

How else would you sell it?

On: SpaceX, Other Mega IPOs Denied Fast Index Entry by S&P

[conception]

Or at least they are selling the idea of orbital data centers since the technology for orbital data centers does not exist yet or in the short term.

[Robotbeat → conception]

It’s literally just a satellite with GPUs on it. SpaceX already has about 100MW of satellites in orbit. They’re making an upgraded version of these satellites, V3, designed for launch on Starship. Making a bigger versions of those with larger radiators (because of the duty cycle) and putting them in sun-synch is all that is required, if it can be done cheaply enough. And Starship, if it works, should be cheap enough as its propellant cost would be less than the fuel cost of using airliners to do transpacific air freight.

Ok… but thats not a data center?

[Robotbeat → conception]

I’ve ran a small datacenter. 30kW can be a “datacenter”
