Idk, the grey goo for instance. It melts steel and concrete but not people and killed soldiers but not main characters. There are also stupid leaps of faith like Holly's mom hobbling out of bed and sticking an oxygen tank in a clothes

All of the characters are constantly arguing with each other. The story line requires constant suspension of belief based on the endless succession of improbable events and improbable character behaviors. Contradictions with earlier episode

I just said to a friend that the season 5 writing is so bad that I think AI would have done a better job. I hope someone tries that out once we get the final episode: Give an LLM the scripts for the first 4 seasons, the outcome frome the f

I'm 50 so I have enough experience to have overcome any resistance to the idea that I am mostly a dumbass. The majority of my larger life decisions have turned out poorly. Fortunately the ones that worked out paid off well enough to m

Many of us have to do this job(personality quirks, ASD, etc). I remember talking to a nerd friend(Verilog/VHDL guy) 25 years ago, in the time before Google salaries when engineering wasn't a job most people desired. He shared tha

Yeah, the number of lives counter started showing gibberish and we were like WTF. It looked like the game broke.

IIRC the issue with AO was the dioxins present as a side-product of the synthesis, not the herbicide itself. Dioxins are nasty.

Surely someone has proposed the existence of a civilization forming from <=iron and making the heavier elements themselves? Seems far fetched but you have quite a bit of time to play with there.

I'm 50 and got my NES in Xmas '86. It's funny how the difficulty has changed. I remember having no problem with carrier landings as a kid, beat Metroid(with the bikini ending) without reading Nintendo Power or calling the he

Apple not having an AI strategy doesn't matter until it suddenly does. Whether that is in 2 years or ten is anyone's guess.

This seems true at many companies. While I'm not all that impressed by many current leaders, I'm sort of terrified of my generation (younger gen x) taking over because some of them seem to not be prepared or not have been prepare

Optimizing costs while producing a safe, reliable, durable vehicle isn't exactly simple and requires an entire supply chain to be in place, not just a single company. Look at how many auto mfgs there are in the world that turn out ter

Tesla also has a big Elon problem in that the blue cities where self-driving Taxis will be most profitable may opt for Waymo or boycott Tesla over politics.

by 01100011 11mo ago
Yeah this. The argument for years has been something like: > Tesla will solve self-driving and everyone will be left unable to compete. Also, AI is advancing rapidly and will solve all kinds of problems for society. But apparently it wil

and shorting something priced in a currency is effectively going long on the currency as well. If the USD takes a dive due to, idk, increasing populism from both major parties, stocks will do quite well in nominal terms. Your shorts will b

IDK, my team at a FANG has an average tenure of around 7 years and the ones less than that are new hires. I keep getting refresher grants every year. I'm sure this article rings true for some people but not me.

This ignores the way it often works: Customer comes to NVDA with a problem and NVDA comes up with a solution. This solution now adds value for every customer. In your example, if OpenAI makes a massive new find they aren't taking it t

Copying Google AI's response here as it's at least as good as what I was going to recall: > Fever is a key part of the innate immune system, acting as a protective response to infection by raising the body's temperature. T

I wonder how the economics are shifted in China which is dependent on foreign oil but has plenty of (some very dirty, some clean) electricity? I'm sure subsidies are playing a great role(as they do in all things in China) and national

That's the thing - nobody knows. LLM architecture is constantly evolving and people are trying all kinds of things.

Weird they'd do this after developing several generations of their own inference chip. Google is basically a competitor. This may just be a ploy to get better pricing from Nvidia.

On point 5, I think this is the real moat for CUDA. Does Google have tools to optimize kernels on their TPUs? Do they have tools to optimize successive kernel launches on their TPUs? How easy is it to debug on a TPU(arguably CUDA could use

Software folks treat their output as if it's their baby or their art projects. Hardware folks just follow best practices and physics. They're different problem spaces though, and having done both I think HW is much simpler and eas

You don't need an app to use X though. I've been on X for over 5 years and never installed the app. In fact, X is far better with Firefox+uBlock on mobile.

The number of otherwise intelligent folks I follow on twitter who occasionally brag or make note of their follower count without realizing 80%+ are bots is way too high. I think that's by design though. Tolerate bots to get high-value

Two things I solidly recommend it for are helper scripts and test code. Writing boilerplate tests is so much easier with it. I recently vibe coded an entire text-ui frontend to perforce, similar to tig for git, and it took about 2 hours. Ye

Your comment is basically paraphrasing my responses to older threads on HN telling me I needed to use vibe coding. Most of my day isn't coding. But sometimes it is. On those days, AI helps me get back to doing the important stuff. Sur
