Yes it really depends on the transmitter protocol. I was using SBUS, simple, cheap, familiar from my previous project. But limited to < 1 mile or so I believe, but ELRS and other protocols allow tens of miles or more.
No and it isn't on their roadmap. Projects who want to accept crypto should probably just put a wallet address on their pages rather than trying to rely on systems like Liberapay that aren't setup to facilitate transfers.
Nothing made me feel as dumb as reading its chain of thought. It made it click for me how hopeless we will be soon, once we cannot comprehend even the reasoning for some things.
I'm not so sure. LLMs are more like human simulators and are pulling this "reasoning" from what they've seen in the training data. It therefore might be possible that they cannot be more intelligent than those who wrote the source material.
This is not a wrong sentiment. I'd be super interested in hearing an analysis of its CoT. To my ears it was a nearly schizophrenic roundabout with a lot of contextual things like "that's high" but I don't know why it thinks that.
What I think is incredible about this example is how adept it is at mixing precise calculations with rough heuristics. That's exactly what I was taught, to validate the numbers by asking "Does this answer seem reasonable?"
ChatGPT doesn't do that at all, as far as I'm aware
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
Well he made billions from UBER and is now getting $400 million in funding for his new business, so maybe it's you that hasn't learned the value of being unethical in business.
His goal is to make money, not make the world a better place. This goes for every company, some just stay in sheeps clothing longer than others depending on how much power they have.
Fuck that. That's not the world I live in. It may go for many companies, even most. But to really believe this is (nearly) universal, you must be in a bubble I want no part of.
He sold $1.6B in Uber stock to Softbank (which had Saudi funding) at the peak of the Uber valuation - so came out way ahead of even employees in terms of cashing out.
He's getting $400M direct from Saudi's.
Saudi's are still supported heavily by the US government - new arm sales going for their war on Yemen etc.
The people who have had their lives ruined are folks reporting on Saudi's (killed and chopped up) and folks who are taking positions that don't align with Saudi's (ie, twitter posters where Twitter made it very easy for employees to sell that data to Saudi's).
At some point politically someone is going to connect some dots around the saudi's. The US went after Saddam (had a multi-ethnic country) and dumped on the Kurds (also better about protecting minority rights) in favor of islamic militants in Syria.
The value in being ethical is currently at risk. Voters are the ones who need to learn some lessons.
