There is a similar theme in both of an artistic person not wanting to compromise their vision to suit common tastes. But this goes in a completely different direction than Rand.
Well of course in 700 pages you'll be about way more than any super short story as this one. But it's there for me quite vividly. Of course LLMs give an amalgamation of many things, but it's like when you look at AI generated pictures and can see the base of the inspiration quite vividly. And then all of this is subjective anyway. People review that book and come away with wildly different interpretations already.
I don't mean that Rand wrote more. I mean that her idea was different and nearly opposite. This is a short story about an artist learning to reframe their frustration with customers wanting utility over artistry as a positive. The similarity to Rand is in the first few sentences. The point is entirely different.
If you judge stories to be the same based on this level of similarity, then The Fountainhead is just the same as a dozen older stories with the artist vs the philistine theme. It was common before Rand. As T. S. Eliot said, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal".
Time doesn't mean much, what is important is what they did in this 24h. If all they did was talk about it then it could be 1000 years and it wouldn't matter. What are the safety checks in place?
Do they have a honey pot infrastructure to launch the model in first and then wait to see if it destroys it? What they did in the 24h matters.
> I simply don’t see how a non-expert can look at what the experts are saying, and decide “I know better, there is in fact < 1% chance.” Remember that you are betting with your users’ lives.
Problem is the experts don't tell the truth, they say whatever game theory version of the world they came up with will make people do what they think people should do. If experts just said the literal truth it'd be different, and then when they would walk it back would be understandable.
But when later it becomes clear the experts said outright lies because they thought it'd induce the right behavior, that goes out the window.
> and it realizes it wants to test 2 things in isolation, forking is the only way
Why would forking be the only way, when humans don't work like that? You can easily try one thing, undo, try the second thing. Your way is a faster way potentially, but also uses more compute.
This assumes you can retain the same state after an operation.

Thats a great place where drilling bugs and recreating exact issues can be really problem, and testing the issues themselves can be destructive to the environment leading to the need for snapshots and fork.
Again, that is a problem of approach, not of compute. Compute just makes that faster, it doesn't make it possible. It's like you saying the only way to do something is with threads. It's good for some use cases, bad for others, and makes most faster, but it doesn't unlock much
Maybe the fact that US soldiers and military bases exist inside Germany's borders is slightly more important than where the gold is. First regain your sovereignty, I'd say.
I am guessing that these bases are one of the last things to go. Would be a major diplomatic incident. But then again Trump creates those for breakfast, so who knows when we finally have had enough.
Yes but you cannot make up more than about 10-15 examples everyone will agree with, seeing as those are subsidized in practically every country on earth, and then apply the thinking the guy above you gives for everything else.
In my opinion internet access is as fundamental a right now as water access so I think it should be subsidized to a fair degree.
But not for example if it is to supply only a small island of rich people just because they happen to want to live there and force the rest of the state to supply them. There's nuance to these things and we can't just outright subsidized everything and we can't market economy everything either
I agree with you. The internet is now important enough that it's required for almost everything past basic sustenance. Governments worldwide are moving services to the internet, so it's not even optional any more.
As precedent, the framers of the US Constitution specifically authorized the government to run a national service provider of last resort...
In that technological era of horses and handwriting, it became the US Postal Service, but I think if it occurred today it would be the US Networking Service.
Those extreme takes are taken mostly for clicks or are exaggerated second hand so the "other side's" opinion is dumber than it is to "slam the naysayers". Most people are meh about everything, not on the extremes, so to pander to them you mock the extremes and make them seem more likely. It's just online populism.
Someone said "its fine nobody uses this" and someone else gave the world's biggest slam dunk of "Ubuntu in 1 month" and your reply is that "not everyone does it". How far from the point can you be!
In the Linux world this is the worst possible scenario, distro with the largest adoption, LTS.
Not trying to downplay the importance of this, but the LTS versions aren't until the first point release, so 26.04.1 (typically six months or so after the release).
I can't find any link, so I think I'm getting mixed up between what they consider LTS and when the upgrade tool starts prompting to upgrade. If you're on the 24.04 LTS, then you don't get prompted to upgrade until 26.04.1
