This is what a wild cucumber looks like, before domestication changed it through human preference selection (originates from India):

Same with the other (in a botanical sense) fruits, probably.

Background: Firm Tied to Trump Donor Got No-Bid Contract to Clean Reflecting Pool and Reflecting Pool Contract Has ‘Inflated’ Profit Margin, Government Analysis Finds

So if you think $14 million is too much money for what is basically a paint job, you would be correct. Trump gave his buddy a no-bid contract at way too high a price. And it turns out they were incompetent too. Additionally, I would be surprised if Trump did not get a personal kickback from they $14 million in taxpayer dollars paid to the incompetent firm.

Also 3KB of RAM. That has to be too little.

It’s that it’s only predicting the next token in a string of text.

An LLM has an internal state while predicting text. The "next token" chosen takes that state - a model of the world - into account. So a LLM is predicting the next token based on a world model and the previous text.

Saying that it is "only predicting the next token", without more context, while technically true is very misleading.

It is vice signalling. Which seems to be a thing Christians(!) in the US do.

Like, maybe, probably? But why are we not allowed to know?

That is one of the most bizarre articles I have ever read. Why in the world are we not allowed to know what the "four letter word" is?

I gamle dage så var der jo ikke nogen chance for at skulle i krig, hvis man havde været værnepligtig. I dag er det lidt mere "spændende".

Which they could spend on a vacation to see trees.

From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ratQlft_G5c

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

NASA just made a rocket - the Space Launch System. It was ridiculously more expensive than SpaceX's rocket. And the Space Shuttle before that was also very expensive and suboptimal.

I am not a private sector fundamentalist (fuck privatized healthcare), but rocket launches is one area where the private sector has proven better than the public sector.

So just for some context the shoes in the image appear to be "Asics Gel-Nyc - Graphite Grey/Black". Which do not cost US$30'000. So I dunno what currency the price is in, if it is not just a fake image.

Hvis man bruger KI konsekvent, er det så en stor kognitiv straf?

Det vil stadig være dyrere, end at bruge samme begreb som på engelsk. Og det er ikke rigtig realistisk at få danskerne til at bruge det konsistent, når man konstant vil blive bombarderet med den engelske version i den engelske faglitteratur.

They’re not mentally handicapped

Trump's narcissism is arguably a mental handicap. Trump is creating so many problems for himself - much of his behavior is ultimately pointlessly self destructive.

danske husholdninger og mindre erhverv øger sit elforbrug ved eksempelvis at købe en elbil eller skifte gasfyret ud med en varmepumpe på el.

Så efter at enhver videnskabsmand og hans moster i årtier har sagt at vi alle skal og vil skifte til elbil og varmepumpe, på grund af global opvarmning og net zero carbon, så er systemet overrasket over at vi skifter til elbil og varmepumpe?

Det ville også være passende at en dansk avis brugte den danske forkortelse, KI, istedet.

I en meget snæver forstand, ja så KI=kunstig intelligens. Meeen - der er en relativt stor kognitiv straf for at skulle huske 2 forskellige forkortelser for et begreb, og huske at de er det samme begreb. Især for et emne som AI, hvor stort set al faglitteraturen er på Engelsk. Så jeg er stor tilhænger af at det danske sprog importerer "AI", i stedet for at bruge "KI".

I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was unconscious guilty avoidance as opposed to intentionally lying,

As I understand it, that is pretty much the definition of narcissism. Narcissism is defined by an underlying inferiority complex, which gives the narcissist a mental block preventing them from consciously realizing (and acting on) their own imperfections.

Very much behavior shown by narcissists, as I understand it.

A narcissist would often do it at an unconscious level. But it could also be psychopathy, where the psychopath completely deliberately lies to gain advantage. In the specific case cited by OP, the mom has no rational advantage of her behavior, so it would be narcissism and not psychopathy.

"Gaslighting" is a lie told where the victim knows it is a lie. So could be.

But with one subtlety: If the "liar" is a narcissist, then the "lie" is often believed by the narcissist themselves, making it not a lie as such - since "lie" implies they know it is untrue.

In the history of mathematics, -1 was understood waaaay before 0.

For the Greeks, doing 1-1 would be invalid, something close to dividing by zero for us.

Just don't look up.
