I know two extremely rural, middle of nowhere, normie people who switched from the iPhone to Android after Joe Rogan's interview with Zuckerberg. And, more in my tech circles, I've seen someone switch over to Android about once a

The base model Apple II cost ~$1300USD when it was released; that's ~$7000USD today inflation adjusted. In other words, Apple sells one base-model computer today that is more expensive than the Apple II; the Mac Pro. They sell a dozen

Current copyright law is not remotely sophisticated enough to make determinations on AI fair use. Whether the courts say current AI use is fair is irrelevant to the discussion most people on this side would agree with: That we need new laws

Armchair commentators, including myself, tend to be imprecise when speaking about whether something is illegal, versus something should be illegal. Sometimes due to a misunderstanding of the law, or an over-estimation of the court's au

Continuous learning might not have been important in the history of deep learning evolution yet, but that might just be because the deep learning folks are measuring the wrong thing. If you want to build the most intelligent AI ever, based

Couldn’t agree more. There are awesome use-cases for AI, but Microsoft and Google needed to shove AI everywhere they possibly could, so they lost all sense of taste and quality. Google raised the price of Workspace to account for AI feature

People need to start asking more questions about why the RTX 50 series (Blackwell) has almost no performance uplift over the RTX 40 series (Ada/Hopper), and also conveniently its impossible to find B200s.

Here's something I don't understand: Why is it that when I go look at DigitalOcean's GPU Droplet options, they don't offer any Blackwell chips? [1] I thought Blackwell was supposed to be the game changing hyperchip that

Realistically, in much of the US both urban and rural, cats are as much a part of the wildlife as whatever animal purists actually want to call wildlife. You can spay, neuter, domesticate, and indoor them as much as humans are capable of do

Software engineers aren't to computers as mechanics are to cars. The closest correlate is, like, automotive engineers working at Ford or Toyota; and I would 100% expect that someone involved in the process at those companies has reas

Some people received the ad, while others did not (I did not). I don't think we fully understand what has caused some people to receive the ad versus not; maybe its just simple probability, or maybe its something more personal like usa

It has everything to do with the deflationary nature of the currency. Its stated so right in their potential solutions: > Tail emission: stop halvings and allow infinite inflation The reality that no one wants to talk about is that Bitco

What I find interesting is how clear your media biases shine through even while attempting to make a statement about how this is something that's happening to the other side. I haven't seen evidence that the Austin robotaxi launch

Wow, its almost like deflationary currency isn't a good idea. Who would have thought? Certainly, uh, most economists.

Typically I would agree on the separation of nationality and race; but in the case of China its actually far more accurate to intrinsically tie the country and the race, given that this is the official position of the CCP.

Sure; and a bunch of Phillips (a European company) CPAP machines (which had received full FDA clearance) killed over 500 people [1]. The J&J COVID vaccine gave over 100 people GBS [2]. We could go back to the 80s and pick on the Therac-

The judicial still has significant tools to stop an executive branch that is clearly acting illegally. So does the legislative. If these branches don't leverage those tools, or those tools don't work, we have bigger problems. Gues

The egregiously heinous thing, in my view, is how a half dozen states still have some kind of health insurance mandate in their laws, and up until 2019 the ACA required all Americans carry it.

Agreed. The number of times the article specifically calls out "shady Chinese knockoffs" is honestly, actually, racism. If there's evidence that Hims' drugs are harmful: Present it. The article doesn't. I know tons

Huh? Healthcare is probably the most regulated industry in America, and the world. Many of the problems healthcare currently faces could be dampened considerably with greater market competition; while creating problems of its own, of cour
