I don't know what derails it, I just know that the line on the chart going up or down rarely goes straight. AI might finally be the thing that results in permanent exponential growth and not a sigmoid, or maybe it hits some limits. May

I totally appreciate this take and have thought something similar but I am old enough to be familiar with the part of my brain responsible for these thoughts and know it has a long track record of being horribly wrong. Sure, hedge your bets

To me, the refractive index of hot ethanol makes it sparkle like a diamond when leaving the still. I don't drink anymore, but man I loved distilling. It's like magic.

I think the solution is more drones(sorry, American here). The only cost effective way to fight drones is similarly cheap drones or possibly energy weapons. Given the cost of energy weapons, you can't deploy them everywhere you want pr

We're finding out quickly that international law is a farce and might makes right, more or less. You can defend yourself with letters of strong condemnation only as long as someone stronger doesn't want what you have.

Things are cheap and easy enough that this sort of state of the art warfare is accessible to individuals. It was obvious ten years ago that this was coming, but saying so just made you sound crazy. I said a similar thing when the Nordstream

I don't think we know if the ceasefire will hold or if it's another attempt by trump at strategic delay/deception, but remember that the strait carries a lot more than oil and those things cannot be transported via a pipeline

I don't even know why I clicked on this thread. It's like reading a thread on economics or other topics where we tech folk think our success at pushing around bits makes us instant expert on anything we ponder. Most of the respons

Is that reliable? The IRGC basically runs the economy and takes a significant cut. The IGRC is also separate from the military. The nuclear program, quite obviously for military use, may also not be included. What about support for proxy gr

My experience is that it gets the syntax right but constantly hallucinates APIs and functions that don't exist but sound like they should. It also seems to be tricked by variable names that don't line up with their usage.

What do you work on? I find people tend to omit that on HN and folks dealing with different roles end up yelling at each other because those details are missing. Being an embedded sw engineer writing straight C/ASM is, for instance, qu

Eh... In my systems programming job ICs have mostly avoided it because we don't have time to learn a new thing with questionable benefits. A lot of my team are really, really good programmers and like that aspect of the job. They don&#

On the plus side, Trump is helping Europe and Asia meet their climate goals. <ducks for cover> I hear diesel is running out in NSW and Queensland Australia. Good thing you don't need diesel to run mining operations. Oh wait..

The west should have just used cluster munitions in ballistic missiles. Apparently you can target civilians with those and no one will accuse you of war crimes. Drones hitting residential buildings, airports and critical energy infrastructu

It's a hail mary dash towards AGI. If we get computers to think for us, we can solve a lot of our most pressing issues. If not, well we've accelerated a lot of our worst problems(global warming, big tech, wealth inequality, survei

I don't expect AI to replace me anytime soon, but... AI is already letting me care less about the languages I use and focus more on the algorithms. AI helps me write tests. AI suggests improvements and catches bugs before compiling. AI

Disagreement is not the reason. You responded that you thought it was preferable to depopulate the most productive state in the nation. Come on man.

It has at times worked well for sleep. One thing I've noticed though is that nothing works consistently for me. While weed and/or melatonin helps me get good sleep, both can leave me groggy/hungover during the day. What'

As a middle aged guy who has used pot on and off for decades and no longer really enjoys the high, I'll say weed is good for two things: Old man joint pains. Not headaches, broken bones, etc. But it nearly erases achy joint pain for me

This is the sort of low quality reply that made me think twice about commenting. Every time I mention it it's another set of poor quality, no thought, drive by responses and downvotes. https://www.osti.gov/biblio/9

The US needs a national water grid. It would pay for itself after a few flooding events where were are able to redistribute the water more quickly. It also provides clean energy storage. I've posted about it before with links to the st

Stupid question, but are there models worth using that specialize in a particular programming language? For instance, I'd love to be able to run a local model on my GPU that is specific to C/C++ or Python. If such a thing exists,

PHEV would be my choice but I WFH and my wife doesn't work so we just don't drive enough for a non-IC car to make sense. Gas would need to be like $20/gallon for it to pay off.

As a homeowner I have zero objections to apartments built near jobs and transit (which also means away from my house). I also don't think apartments directly compete with single family housing. Like, they do, but only in certain situat
