Someone I know does this, and seems to think it's a flex, because he bragged about it being "the first time I've actually seen this presentation" a few times during the presentation. It was all awful.

I built a project nearly identical to this one so knowing the level of complexity required, I'm not surprised it worked. AI is indeed raising the floor. Even simple hobby designs were once out of reach, but now we can "YOLO it and

Huberman also said it was good to gargle and swallow a glass of water in the morning before brushing your teeth. I think that was the last episode I listened to...

I fall into the AI sad camp, partly because my mind sees this comment and immediately jumps to: "What a great way to train an AI to imitate your voice, likeness and style all at once."

The imagery is vivid. Am I flying? Or being carried away by some kind of bird? How hard will I hit the ground if it drops me?

I remember enjoying watching Fable think during the original limited preview. It was full CoT for sure. They must have removed that feature recently. I use open models for non work stuff and sometimes I cancel the output because the CoT is

I think certain models are really good at mirroring and relationship building, and at a certain point people bifurcate. Some continue falling in deeper, while other people develop an ick. I remember an AI conversation with Opus 4.6 in which

Good spot, but the AI tells are getting so so much harder to spot. If I had to guess, models have producing content that is, for most of the population, indistinguishable from reality for at least 6-12mo. Very few people will watch a video

I used rope and suction cups to mount a shade cloth (neatly) over my apartment balcony. I quite liked it, it made the balcony more cozy, gave a bit more privacy, my apartment was cooler, my plants were less stressed. The building manager ma

I feel a similar divide forming over personal privacy. A lot of my privacy backbone (proton mail/VPN, a pixel device for Graphene, a disposable phone plan for registering with google play services, hardware for self hosting) is only po

I'm with you on this one. I'll be using my 11th gen i5 and GTX3080 for the foreseeable future. The 'hostility' you mention puts me off doing so more than price of an upgrade.

When I owned a iMac G3, the Classilla browser was surprisingly good. Looks like development ended in 2021. Also, the branding was "Mac OS 9".

I've paid for and recommended Bitwarden. For years it's operated along a stable trajectory. I was confident in its security record. Vaultwarden is an escape hatch I'm in a position to set up for my family as a last resort. Al

I had never heard of this before, then last week I watched a video about it and was hooked. Now I'm seeing it everywhere! Meshtastic and Meshcore are both cool LoRa-based mesh text messaging that operate in an no-license-required band.
