<p>I dont see how there would be remotely enough entropy in most model outputs for this to be close to feasible with any kind of accuracy.<p>Either they false positve on pretty much everything ever written, or the chances of catching a true positive is so low as to be useless.<p>Basically Cinavia for text, and that often falls over and is easy to remove even when there is megabytes of data streaming over a long period of time rather than 2 or 3 bits per wall of text, let alone what most people use claude for, when there is a strict dictionary and other tight output constraints.</p>

<p>Different order of magnitude in my experience.<p>Wayland mouse movement lag is/can be/could/was in the order of several hundred milliseconds.<p>Its that that people notice, not 3 or 4ms difference in click response.</p>

<p>this is almost certainly a us tarriff/China sanctions thing rather than an AI thing. sticks here outside of the us tarriff system never really changed, I just bought like a month or two ago 128GB DDR5 for $500 at a time when US best buy was listing the same kingston 32GB sticks for $200 each.<p>That said, getting hold of them was hard and needed a special order.</p>

<p>So you accept the earth was hotter than now and the sea levels much higher than now in our recent history then?<p>Do you know why the earth is so much colder when the southern hemisphere is in winter than when the northern hemisphere is in winter?<p>Because anyone not seeking money from the green energy VCs will tell you all about  that and how the earths axial precession causes 26k year ice age cycles - what happens to the climate when the sun is mostly shining on ocean rather than land. Guess which phase of that cycle we are in right now...<p>what was your rationale for accelerating that descent into the next ice age again? Cos yeah, no amount of claims based on zero facts is going to convince me of anything, I find your assumption that humanity under miles of ice a worthy endeavour to be nothing short of grotesque malthusian snake oil.</p>
