But the US being the world’s cop was never going to be sustainable indefinitely. It was partly because of hegemonic power and partly because of a reluctance of wealthy democratic countries to seriously invest in their military when they could just “pay” someone else.

I don’t think anyone wants the pre world war 2 order. So we are likely going to see otherwise reluctant states step up militarily to protect their neighborhoods.

It does hallucinate a lot though, and is the most affected by context rot in multi-turn conversations

Even then, doctors are usually disapproving of ibuprofen (or some combination of it with paracetamol) unless paracetamol is contraindicated for some reason, and I had always wondered why.

I imagine there's a benign explanation too - the intelligence of these models is very spiky and I have found tasks were one model was hilariously better than the other within the same codebase. People are also more vocal when they have something to complain about.

In my general experience, Opus is more well-rounded, is an excellent debugger in complex / unfamiliar codebases. And Codex is an excellent coder.

- reducing the surface area of "acceptable use" (e.g., blocking third-party tools OpenClaw)

- tighter usage limits and more subscription tiers

- increasing existing subscription prices

- moving to usage based model completely

- taking away compute from training next gen models (future demand destruction)

Indeed. And this model breaks in several cases that overlaps with the current AI business model:

- marginal cost of incremental usage is too high (Movie Pass)

- adverse selection (all you can eat monthly steak subscriptions)

- demand is synchronized (WeWork)

Nit: I didn't see a final score of how many actions I took to complete 7 levels. Also didn't see a place to sign in to see the leaderboard (I did see the sign in prompt).

It's likely more relevant for asymmetric conflicts that involve conventional weapons, and would enable an otherwise less resourced adversary to become a near peer.

Dennis Bushnell from NASA presented this deck in 2001, and is quite prescient about UAVs and distributed warfare.

The other side of the scaling laws say that motor torque scales as a square of air gap radius (roughly rotor radius), and output torque scales as linearly with gearing ratio.

When you balance these out, the reflected inertia depends on the inverse of power dissipated for a fixed output torque.

In an ideal world, your total reflected inertia is independent of the gearbox and largely depends on the motor fill factor and how hot you can run it.

Cooling in general is not a bad idea to allow you dissipate heat as you push motors to their saturation limits.

The robot and ball pose is estimated by high speed mocap cameras, and is fed to the policy.

I imagine estimating that with onboard cameras - how humans do it - is much harder.

Almost all of closed loop robotics is a state estimation problem. Control is “solved” if you can estimate state well enough.
