I found it useful for learning to write prose. There's nothing quite like instantaneous feedback when learning. The downside was that I hit the limit of the LLM's capabilities really quickly. They're just not that good at wri

And in some areas it's even worse than that - construction quality for housing can be very poor. You basically need an independent building inspection to not get scammed by poor quality construction.

I can't read the full article, but I would like to remind everyone that this is not the first time the EU has done something like this. In 2006 the EU passed the Data Retention Directive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

You cannot have a "relatively weak government" that "taxes the hell out of the wealthy". First, if the people can incentivize the government enough to tax the wealthy with outrageous amounts, then those same people will

Most democratic countries use the parliamentary system, where the party that wins elections creates the government through the prime minister. They are also the largest party in parliament. Sure, the US does it differently, yet the parliame

That's great if you live in the USA or another giant rich country. Not so much when you don't.

They are slow though. There are noticeable delays on any machine I've used with them compared to native desktop applications. It's absolutely not just a meme.

You brought up a light computing load that a laptop from like 2005 wouldn't struggle with? People ran multiple browser windows, a 3D video game, irc (chat application), teamspeak/ventrilo (voice chat) and winamp (music) all at onc

The problem is the VRAM segmentation. A GTX 1080 came out in the first half of 2016. It had 8 GB of VRAM and cost $599 with a TDP of 180W. A GTX 1080 Ti came out in 2017 and had 11 GB of VRAM at $799. In 2025 you can get the RTX 5070 with 1

No? I'm saying that power concentration is pretty much unavoidable. The question is more about what they can do with that power. I suspect that people getting more power through wealth in the modern world is better than people concentr

The problem is that memory manufacturing is hard enough that there are essentially 3 major companies that do it globally: Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.

You'll just get a different form of power concentration. Do you think the Soviet Union didn't have power concentration in individuals? Of course it did, that's why the general secretary of the party was more important than th

But federal spending has been historically high ever since like the New Deal. Budget-to-GDP ratio in the US is close to 40%. (On that note, you should really consider federal + state combined rather than just federal.) In early 1900s this s

Well, they also list a "pay wall" as a dark pattern. I guess demo giving you a limited game for free is a bad thing now.

There's no such thing. Anonymized data can still be used to identify someone as we've seen on numerous occasions.

I don't think it's entirely the case. They are on franchises, but not the ones you think of - they're playing live service games that have been around for years. Games like League of Legends, Counterstrike, Fortnite, Dota, Wo

I used to play a 3D MMO (Lineage 2) with hundreds of people on screen with spell effects, sounds etc on a computer with 512 MB of RAM. I was also running a mIRC client in rooms with hundreds to thousands of people at once. And I was able to

What I find aggravating is when people turn to the "grow up, what's past is past" after they faced no consequences for their actions. Now you're the bad guy for not letting it go.

When I reach for a hammer I want it to behave like a hammer every time. I don't ever want the head to fly off the handle or for it to do other things. Sometimes I might wish the hammer were slightly different, but most of the time I wo

The biggest challenge is that websites wouldn't be able to pay the bills if they didn't track you (show you ads). The price we would pay for that is an open and freely accessible internet. Websites like YouTube, Twitter, and Redd

The reason I brought this up is that we clearly can have AI without the kind of agency people are scared of. You don't need to make your robots into sci Fi style AI and feel sorry for them.

I feel like these people have a fundamental misunderstanding of how human memory works. We have way better spatial memory than for words. The start menu is one of the better tools for that, because it can contain a lot of information (appli

Their telemetry data didn't seem to help them figure out how important the start menu is for users. I doubt it's going to help them really do anything else either. They might have the data, but they're not using it.
