You could say this woman is immortal. Or at least her cancer is.

I'm not a biologist. But it seems to me that this is at the level of one cell. Yes, a cell can become immortal, but cells live much less than a whole person. Over the course of a person's life, many many cells change. And the program for human life, rather than individual cells, is perceived differently.

It's very likely that aging is driven by some kind of scheduled gene program. It makes perfect sense to phase out individuals from a group-level selection point of view.

NoOn3 · a month ago

Maybe. But why in this case do we not see bugs and failures in this program, i.e. no one lived 5 times more than the average or did not live forever at all, for example? I'm not making a statement, just a guess.

This may be a misconception. "Free software" (e.g. Linux) also benefits billion-dollar corporations and "open source" also benefits all mankind.

at least under some licenses like GPL/AGPL you get some code back.

Recent LLMs are fairly good at following instructions, so a lot of the difference comes down to the level of detail and quality of the instructions given. Written communication is a skill for which there's a huge amount of variance among developers, so it's not surprising that different developers get very different results. The relative quality of the LLM's output is determined primarily by the written communication skills of the individuals instructing it.

NoOn3 · a month ago

It seems to me If you know all these instructions clearly, then you know everything, and it's easy for you to write the code yourself, and you don't need an LLM.

A 1.4nm chip offers significant performance and capability improvements over a 4nm chip, primarily due to increased transistor density. This allows for more powerful and efficient on-device AI processing, enabling new features and capabilities on devices like an iPhone without relying on cloud-based services

But at the same time, the cost of manufacturing may increase. But I have no data on this, it's just a guess.

Yeah I starved to death, but at least we all died equally starved!

Equality of outcome is the cruelest lie the untalented, lazy, and comfortable tell each other. They assume it means raising the bar to their level instead of drawing it on the ground. It's enforced mediocrity, peddled by those who fear effort and resent excellence.

If for you outcome is the same why you would prefer capitalism over socialism or communism? only because small group of rich people will be in more good? But if it doesn't affect you in any way, and maybe it will make it worse, there will be no point in it.

its honestly ruining this website, you cant even read the comments sections anymore

NoOn3 · a month ago

But in the case of OpenAI, this is fully justified. Isn't that so?

It is very strange to hear this in connection with OpenAI. After all, their goal is to save people from things like this...

Well, let's see how it works for Russia. Russia has a 1.41 fertility rate (2.1 is breakeven). Plus Russia has lost somewhere around a million soldiers so far in Ukraine. Deaths outnumber births by 1.6 to 1. They need fresh meat for the grinder.[1]

Current steps being taken include:

- Emphasizing family values via the Russian Orthodox Church

- Restricting abortion, which was cheap and easy in the USSR days

- Encourage teenage pregnancy (there's a "Pregnant at 15" TV show)

- Encouraging immigration

So far, it's not working much.

It's not that scary. You don't have to go to church. And don't have to listen to church broadcasts or channels. And no one forces you to do anything.

There don't seem to be any real restrictions on abortions in Russia.

It's funny but this show was first invented on American TV(*https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_and_Pregnant), then for a long time on the Ukrainian channel, and only then on a not very popular and not central channel in Russia.

There are also more standard material measures. Maternity capital. And all sorts of small benefits for large families. Preferential mortgages for housing.

Not everything is so gloomy Russia. But it's not helping well yet.
