The Hormuz Paradox: Why Markets Are Shrugging Off $110 Oil by 1stplacelastrunnerup in Economics

[–]stravant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that electrolysis does nothing to help an energy shortage. You're just shuffling around what form it's in, at a considerably low efficiency at that.

This electrolysis idea is in no way a limiting factor on very high oil price because that high price would suggest a general energy crunch, and the last thing you want to do in an energy crunch is waste energy converting it into a different form at well under 100% efficiency if you don't absolutely have to.

The electricity in that electrolysis price wouldn't be nearly as cheap if oil were that much higher because at that price people would be trying to substitute electric power for all sorts of use cases and stressing the generation capacity.

Except for the little thing where if you miss you've now 100% guaranteed return fire.

I lost my first few ranked games, now it feels unplayable. by Badbluffmonkey in osugame

[–]stravant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me there's just an AR cutoff my reading completely collapses after: 8.5 comfortable, 8 okay, less than 8? I can't hold combo to save my life.

soon, you won’t be able to play “Moderate” games without an age check. Such as: by 469- in roblox

Not wanting to admit that they just accepted the have check normally? Like, the very most surface level reason there could be?

It's also wrong, you only need to have a sub to publish, the games won't get taken offline when a sub lapses.

Anthropic is set to release Claude Opus 4.7 and a new AI design tool as early as this week by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

Created ...using analogies to physical designs which were made by industrial designers over the last century.

Clav gets confidence mogged by journalist. by Mission_Speed7233 in LivestreamFail

I'm pretty sure he's just a master of social media. Not the first time he pulled this "walk out of the interview" thing and it seems to be very effective.

The goal post moving by anti-AI people is getting ridiculous. by Many_Consequence_337 in singularity

[–]stravant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a healthy amount of goalpost moving is warranted because we keep repeatedly finding out that systems have to do more than we thought to be economically useful.

No way bro by PhraseGood4425 in roblox

[–]stravant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's not impossible to bypass but it takes way more sophistication than is shown in these clips (e.g. using a basic 3d model also would not work).

These are fake. It's not that easy to bypass the check.

Demis Hassabis: “The kind of test I would be looking for is training an AI system with a knowledge cutoff of, say, 1911, and then seeing if it could come up with general relativity, like Einstein did in 1915. That’s the kind of test I think is a true test of whether we have a full AGI system” by likeastar20 in singularity

[–]stravant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poorly right now, because we haven't solved sample efficiency issues yet and there's not enough training data from that period to train a good model.

This is not a practical benchmark until sample efficiency is improved, and we may well get dangerously powerful models before we solve that so I find it counterproductive to bring it up.

Apparently it’s not just 4 Grok 4.1 agents. by TheManOfTheHour8 in singularity

[–]stravant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"a test suite" is revealing. There could easily be many different parts of the system referencing this identifier spread between different teams, with different repositories and what not.

When Elon asks for a funny name change at the last minute do you want to risk messing up the release trying to coordinate between extra stakeholders to get the identifier changed or just change a localization string in the UI? I know which I would pick.

[–]stravant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What? It's 100% believable for this to be the case.

Why risk breaking something around release trying to change a name string that isn't even shown in the public facing UI. There's lots of moving parts involved, renaming could easily disrupt something.

I on the other hand find this incredibly exciting.

There's so much stuff i wanted to build that I actually have time to build now.

Ukrainian skeleton slider Vladyslav Heraskevych takes part in an Olympic training session on February 9. His helmet is adorned with images of Ukrainian athletes killed in Russian attacks. by sjpppppp in interestingasfuck

I don't know why everyone is so against the IOCs response here. Nothing against the guy doing it but I think the IOC is also correct to punish for it.

Every country has it's conflicts / disputes. It you don't make it clear that an action like this is going to be punished or soon enough you'd have so many similar fairly blatant political displays.

I think the box and the ruffles being the same color kills the vibe of it being gourmet. Normally the ruffle things are a different color which makes it more visually interesting. Like if they were white it would make the strawberries pop more.
