@slatt_eth @zocomputer we saw some downtime today due to an issue with an upstream provider. we're looking into ways to be more resilient to these sources of instability

@seconds_0 it’s possible that the slop is handcrafted!

but slop glasses are still good imo, even if whoever on substack typed the words in with their keyboard

@franklanfrick @max_spero_ @JohnHolbein1 why

@pleometric yea modular seems cool, all these are one-sheet

[Rob Cobb @robcobbable]

@pleometric there is a certain "this guy likes math" to the book list

what gives it away? 3D origami antidiamonds, or the four books on polyhedra?

[Rob Cobb @robcobbable]

@noelladart @AndyMasley - the data center that serves your request is often not close to you
- often, there’s lots of dcs in lots of places involved in serving a single request

@tomfgoodwin @yrechtman @TheArgumentMag @KelseyTuoc and someone should make that argument! to quote the article itself:

@DanAlroyPhilo @MaxRovensky @ryxcommar right! of course, the other ny taxes will...

[Rob Cobb @robcobbable]

@MaxRovensky @DanAlroyPhilo @ryxcommar if you're already spending $238M on the penthouse, the tax isn't going to change your mind

it might lower the price of these units! but not to zero

@squarepianocase @deepfates its online jargon

parallel of a strawman, except the interlocutor is real

@meekaale @jxnlco the deny list does sometimes work

[Rob Cobb @robcobbable]

@phrygiandomina @So8res I think this is explicit

any international agreements to limit training would require a monitoring and compliance regime backed by force

the force hopefully doesn’t get used! and any agreement would be between govts (and perhaps large companies), not rogue actors or terrorists
