Português aqui. Eu posso confirmar que pelo menos em Portugal existe a idea enraizada a noção de se ser Latino (querendo dizer, com correspondência geográfica com o antigo Império Romano e com parte das suas origens no mesmo, especialmente quando falamos dos paises que constituem o sul da europa). Eu cresci com isto. Os meus pais cresceram com isto. É muito comum cá a expressão "nós Latinos" quando se fala de diferenças entre estes países e o norte da Europa por exemplo, umas vezes para salientar características vistas como sendo qualidades (ex.: povos mais calorosos do que no norte da Europa) e outras como sendo defeitos (ex.: percepção de atrasos de desenvolvimento económico, tendências culturais para relaxamento no cumprimento de normas, para haver mais corrupção, etc.). Vai bem para lá de se referir a uma origem linguística no Latim.

Se o propósito de estar à "mercé do poder" é para ser preservado, tem de primeiro passar a imagem de que há algum poder. E muito honestamente hoje em dia a Praça do Comércio passa a imagem de que não há poder nem para comprar árvores nem para um projeto de jeito para a iluminação da Praça e das fachadas.

Já agora, o nome correto para a estrutura atual é Praça do Comércio. O Terreiro do Paço era efetivamente um terreiro de um Paço Real, que desapareceu com o terramoto.

Quanto à futura adição de árvores... ou leva paisagismo ou a cada verão que passa vai ser mais fácil o calor impossibilitar o uso da praça (pelo menos enquanto a maré alta não a começar a inundar na segunda metade do Séc. XXI).

You are seeing the glass panes oscillating. They appear white most of the time because they are reflecting the sky, but when the building moves and they ondulate, they can shift enough in angle to not reflect the sky. You can find photos of the building online before the quake and see the glass panes and get an idea of how those panes ondulating with the building would make that visual occur. But to be fair, it looked weird to me, too, at first. We simply aren't used to seeing windows acting like waves. That's why it looks weird.

I have seen many videos of earthquakes in the past, and I always had the conviction that it would always be possible to engineer a building to survive any strong earthquakes. This video is the first (yes, the video is real, not AI) that has actually shaken my conviction that buildings can always be made safe (I am aware of the fact that the building construction in that area probably is not good, but with that type of monstrous ground movement, even the best of buildings can come down. Truly horrifying).

Despite lacking textual information stating that both sticks are the same length, you can see that the drawing was drawn to scale and that the supposed "two" sticks are the same length. Moreover, you were asked about a dog and not two, so, since there is only one dog but the drawing shows two copies of the dog and of the stick, you have textual and graphic information that indicate that we are dealing with snapshots of the same stick with the dog in different positions. But, since there is no text directly stating that the sticks are the same or that there are two sticks but are the same size, I guess we can always choose to be picky instead of focusing on finding the answer to the problem.

Neil is right in regards to superintelligence as it was defined before it began to be used as a marketing term to keep investment flowing into data center development for massive (sometimes helpful) text and image calculators (an oversimplification, I know, but that's it in a nutshell). He is more concerned with systems that might arise from current and future developments in the field of machine learning and that at best could become one super powerful system capable of puppeteering the will of anyone into collaborating with its established goals and in ways that humans won't be intelligent enough to even have a chance of understanding, leaving the fate of life itself to whatever way the system understands its established goals or even goals that somehow it establishes for itself. While it is probably true that the current developments will provide tremendous gifts to the world while also causing some headaches along the way, one must not forget that these developments can potentially lead to development of systems akin to those portrayed in the most dire of sci-fi scenarios involving artificial intelligence.

@WXWatcher07 Does it fit bomb cyclone criteria? Is there a risk of a sting jet akin like the one of storm Kristin?

@IsaacKing314 I don't think idiot is the best word for it. For chatGPT for example (even the 5 in Thinking mode), it seems it understands whatever subject you throw at it, but every once in a while, it makes the kind of mistakes that reveal that it doesn't understand what it is writing at all.

@daniel_mac8 @karpathy Karpathy explained himself well enough, and I think he knows exactly what words he is using to convey what he means. So, when he says that AGI is still a decade a way, maybe don't simply assume that he meant ASI. I get it that it is not an attack on him, but it is not good either

@SpencrGreenberg You probably are getting votes from people in countries other than the US, which can skew the results.

@kimmonismus There will come models to which won't matter what you say to it or how you say it: the model will always get where you are coming from and get on its own to where it it needs to in order to be useful to you.

[Ricardo Rodrigues @rickysupercell]

@kimmonismus You got it partially wrong in the post. It is not "a protein that reverses brain aging" but blocking the protein that does it. Nevertheless, awesome discovery if the effects do indeed check out.

[Ricardo Rodrigues @rickysupercell]

@Limitless_LT @kimmonismus The only reason for having people working in space in ten years is for AGI not having been reached by then. Why else would anyone in their right mind send a human to work on anything (space related or not) in a time when AGI and advanced robotics have supposedly become option?

[Ricardo Rodrigues @rickysupercell]

@ashu00923 @kimmonismus If in ten years there will be no bee jobs on earth, why would there be any jobs out of earth? If there's going to be jobs in space, then for sure, we weren't able to automate most jobs on earth. What Sam said literally implicates that we still haven't reached AGI in ten years.

[Ricardo Rodrigues @rickysupercell]

@polynoamial @OpenAI So, it seems that we still haven't gotten to the point when OpenAI doesn't have to hire people. That is perhaps the best benchmark anyone can come up with in order to see whether or not artificial general intelligence has been achieved.

[Ricardo Rodrigues @rickysupercell]

@Arktophylaxxx So... I'm guessing a model passed some kind of "Turing-like" test where the developers of the model could no longer discern whether its responses were generated by an AI model or a human. Is that it?

[Ricardo Rodrigues @rickysupercell]

@ShadowfaxCNFT @snitskiy @visegrad24 You can check the coordinates on google maps yourself. What is hard to believe is for US intelligenge and NATO to miss this. It seems more likely that they know it and are trying to de-escalate the situation.
