Did he send her because he was afraid he'd be attacked if he went?

Anyone know what my hardware would show as if I play on my phone using something like GameNative or Gamehub? Curious what the android/arm numbers would be.

Russia isn't mentioned because it's no longer a superpower and it's also obvious that when Putin dies it's going to be a shitshow unless something drastic changes.

How China handles Xi's succession will probably define geopolitics for the next few decades if not longer.

The underlying issues, in my opinion, regarding LLMs is their indeterministic nature. Even zeroing out the temperature (randomness of outputs), you can get significantly different results between two almost identical texts.

However, building out an ecosystem supporting new technology is a fairly common progression. If you compare it to the internet things like browser caches, CDNs (content delivery networks), code minifiers, etc. are all ways to help combat latency (a fundamental problem for the internet).

As for the effectiveness of these solutions, RAGs do help a lot when generating text against a select corpus. Its what allows the linked sources in things like ChatGPT and Googles AI results. It's also what a lot of companies are using for searching their support pages/etc. It's maybe not quite as good as speaking to a person, but is faster.

Similarly, the reasoning models and managing the models "context" both have shown demonstrable improvements for models in benchmarking.

I'm not sure I personally believe this makes LLMs a replacement for humans in most situations, but it at least demonstrates forward progress for GenAI.

I think you may be mixing a couple of things together, but I'll take a crack at this.

When you get an Ai generated response from a search engine, this is usually a modified RAG (retrieval augmented generation) approach. How this works is that the content from web pages are already pre-processed into embeddings (numerical representations of the text). When you perform a search, your search text is turned into an embedding and compared (numerical similarity) to the websites to get the most related content for your search. That means that the LLM only parses and processes a very small subset of the returned websites to generate its response.

Another element you might be asking about is how can these agentic AI systems handle larger tasks (things like OpenClaw). That is a bit more complicated and dependent on the systems design, but basically boils down to two things. The first is the "reasoning models" first break concepts into smaller tasks meaning the LLM only has to worry about a subset of a larger task. Secondly, a lot of these systems will periodically merge all past context into a compressed state that the LLM can handle (basically summaries of summaries) or add them to a database for future/faster reference.

At the end of the day, your understanding of the limits of LLM are correct, all the progress we've really seen with LLMs (over the past couple of years) has been the creation of systems to work around their limitations. The base technology isn't getting much better, but the support around it is.

I think another one that's worth adding is Infinity Train. It's targeted at a slightly younger audience, but is a great sci-fi animated show.

Each season follows its own characters with a little bit of overlap.

Basically outside of the steam deck all x86 devices are large and cost $1000. However, android gaming devices have a wide range of form factors (clamshell, dual screen, etc) ranging from $200-$800ish.

In my experience, support is nowhere near steam deck (maybe half, if that) and you aren't going to be playing many 3D games, but it's great for indie titles.

So if you're looking for a smaller form factor to play indie games (including some older/lightweight 3D games) on the cheaper side, the android handhelds are an interesting option.

Disabling/destroying a satellite has only been shown to be feasible by a handful of militaries in the world in very controlled situations.

Unless you mean you disable it via commands to the satellite, but that assumes there is a way to disable it and that you know who can disable it and can force them to do so.

Yeah, that was my point. Like all technology it has potential to liberate communications, but also enable bad actors. However, to me, it's the biggest reason why this technology would matter at all.

Well, that's one way to get circumcised.

What's crazy is that this seems to showTrumps ICE has been undermining trust in federal officers.

There is a big difference between "Is it acceptable to help an illegal immigrant avoid Ice" and "Is it acceptable to help a legal immigrant stay in the country". However these concepts are getting blurred together as ICE continues to go after immigrants who are following proper procedures to stay in the country.

Even if you don't believe the idea of illegal vs legal matters, Americans have historically been torn over this issue. This poll seems to indicate though, that as ICE goes after "effectively legal" immigrants it appears to be turning the population more "pro-immigrant".

I don't think anyone was expecting zero casualties, I think that's the main reason why an overwhelming majority of Americans didn't want to attack Iran.
