Quite a lot of money is at stake in the control for retail investors' minds. Lots of stupid takes get amplified by people who lack background. Look at the recent Intel/TSMC/Broadcom merger rumors. The story was "Canada

Eh, the problem is that god games like this always have to focus on a few angles or risk making a tedious game no one will ever play outside of a few nerds. I liked Civ(1, 2, uh.. 3 and 4 I think)because it felt like a good balance of strat

Yeah I think something like a snowflower, which I believe has totally lost the ability to photosynthesize, is a better definition of a parasite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcodes?wprov=sfla1

I'd pay $2k for something that folds my laundry reliably. It doesn't need arms or legs, just like my dishwasher doesn't need arms or legs. It just needs to let me dump in a load of clean laundry and output stacks of neatly

We had sufficient AI to make death machines for decades. You don't need fancy LLMs to get a pretty good success rate for targeting. I have said for years that the only thing keeping us from "stabby the robot" is solving the

I had them in my 20s on a weekly basis but since I could stave them off with massive water intake I thought they were something else. I didn't get optical symptoms, it was just a really bad headache, nausea and chills that felt like a

I'm not seeing what Broadcom brings to the table here. They don't have chip mfg experience. Sure, they're a customer, but so what? TSMC is not going to be motivated to build up a competitor who weakens the economic wall aro

Companies probably do several things(at least I would if it were me): - The pre-training dataset is sanitized culturally/politically and pro-regime material is added. - Supervised fine tuning dataset provides further enforcement of the

This isn't "news for hackers only". Hacker News is more appropriately described as "a news aggregator and discussion board frequented by those in IT and programming". But that doesn't sound so cool, no? &quo

Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize intelligence seems to be normally distributed and that most people are approximately that smart with a small number being dumber or smarter than that person.

The fuel, while not all native vegetation, is mostly evolved to burn. But it is "supposed to" burn every 100 years or so from lightning or other natural cause. Humans have quickened the pace at which CA coastal sage scrub catches

Plenty of jobs that are decades away from automation. Will a robot climb on your roof to fix your A/C or repair your plumbing soon? Probably not. Now I'm sure some enterprising startup is trying, but seriously, it's not cl

It's my job and career(well, C and C++) but I often try to avoid C++. Whenever I use it(usually writing tests) I go through this cycle of re-learning some cool tricks, trying to apply them, realizing they won't do what I want or

Wrong. Most programmers spend tremendous amounts of time reading and maintaining someone else's code. You absolutely have to keep up with it.

When I was a kid(~1980), I remember our microwave had a removable temperature probe you could insert into the food. I don't know if it was just for informative purposes or if it controlled the cooking however.

I read it around '89 in the midst of my hacking phase as a 15 year old. Fucking blew my mind. Hard to describe how it felt back then to be a punk kid finding about computers, telecommution, psychedelics, hacking and cyberpunk culture

Depends why you were/are punk and what it means to you. Is it a fashion statement, a music genre, a lifestyle, a political faction, etc.. No one agrees, of course. In any case, for me, it's not something I'd force on my kid

This reminds me of a comment I read years ago, maybe on HN, from a younger person who thought The Beatles were completely overrated. Like, sure, because you grew up on music that wouldn't have existed without them. You heard them thou

Another thing I'll add after having spent a few years in a religious cult: It's all about the axioms. If you tweak the axioms you can use impeccable logic to build a completely incorrect framework that will appeal to otherwise in
