Not always true. I just recently watched video about Tandy VGM-225. Which had bad picture. Most likely due to being reused cheap TV. You can't magic more resolution out when you do not have enough "subpixels"... That is the

I give it non-zero chance. But not because AI becomes sapient and does something. But because either economy gest sufficiently screwed or some idiot massively missuses AI... Then again economy is already screwed. And idiots could always do

I have always wondered about most common tools. How much should maintainer of say bash be paid per install? Or per use? Or per month a system runs? What about all other core tools or common tools? Even most of things in say Linux? Surely th

No demand. There is some imaginary demand but I doubt it will realise. And on other side LCD screens are very cheap. 74,25€ for 24" IPS. With 25,5% of that being tax... There is no way CRTs with current volumes would be anywhere close.

"Our town has the castle". Is reasonable for meaning that it has the best/oldest/most historical/largest one. Or in general that the specific castle that has something which separates it from the rest.

War has always been here. It sadly just have been too removed from those countries doing it. Not enough enemy combatants have died on their own land.

I am thinking that they are just script kiddies with more automated tools. Not doing anything new just throwing tool that can try lot more at everything... With lot more computing resources and less oversight...

I have no doubt there is lot of boosting going on. Essentially entire industry is build on boosting in many ways. So manipulating any available discussion platform is almost certain.

Well for most of human history if you inherited something you inherited the building that contained that stuff. And the industry around it that used that stuff.

If they are sufficiently adult. Just ask them now do they want it. I can manage to pick stuff I want and then later dispose if I made mistake. If all children refuse just get rid off it already.

I feel something is horribly wrong with these ad-companies if there is no contact and automatic approval for spending over 100k on ads... From seemingly small and unknown entity. I would expect some verification or contact, but maybe I just

I have always seen Moon as absolutely sore loser mentality. Ofc they have bigger propaganda and infinitely more gullible population and lot more money to waste on that propaganda so mind washing succeeded. But in the end they(USA) were the

Bad "art" and annoying to read writing? Maybe slightly more software we don't really need.

Not to mention the how little usable interior area they have.

Well they are the ones trying to build market. And they have money to invest. Cycle most likely should be lot faster but it doesn't seem unreasonable thing to try.

Well they do have their own interference capacity. So AIs to solve every single issue.

USA won't ever default so you will get money back at maturity date. But I will largely question the inflation at that point. If inflation goes significantly higher than the rate you are being paid it becomes self-destructive loop.

Being from later developed part of Europe that is Finland. It is fun to consider that Iron age ended in 1000-1300 CE... So whole "ages" thing is really location dependent...

At certain point people just don't care about saving money. You get a budget and then get quotes and pick one that matches what you are allowed to spend. If there is multiple with same spend go for one with bigger numbers.

Seems to indicate to me that he had full mental model of everything. Whole thing in his head at once. Clearly having it in mental model sentence by sentence. AI would here be the word processor.

It is always about scale. At scale today's Nvidia does anything is so big that 100x is not anymore reasonable. Or then it is not significant... From sub million to hundreds of millions I could theoretically see. Even tens of millions t

So if they just had spare 100 billion they could make 10 trillion? Sounds reasonable and plausible right? Sadly market manipulation is not being prosecuted.

How can you have proper real understanding of data structures and algorithms without at same time having line-by-line mental model? Or do you blindly trust what machine tells you at whatever time you are communicating with it? Architecture

Either I have wrong mental model or then too many other people have wrong mental model. For LLM to self-replicated it would need to first hack itself. Or the platform it runs on it. That is fully extract the model and then upload it to be r

Yes. Buying companies at their actual value and then optimising the and extracting value they can. Considering lot of these startups and how they have acted I don't even consider them anyway evil.

At some point I need to go through my USB-A-C cables and figures out which ones are actually USB 3. Which only have power and which are USB2... Thankfully I think I have tester that can do that.

Without your typical tech/startup/vc/corporate bloat those sales will carry reasonable sized team very far. And it is really about what is reasonably sized team and what is not.

I think biggest issue is that you are not constrained to single world. But instead directed to be mostly directionless... Some players just feel no reason to comeback. Where as with Minecraft being in single world you are more forced to com

I feel like my issue was that every "site" on different planet was the same. Maybe I just hit poor randomisation or something. But I felt that I found exactly same thing just on different coloured environment. Or then things like

Cool climate. And cheap power: >As part of the deal, Google signed a 22-year contract with Finnish utility Fortum to buy up to 50% of the output from the Loviisa nuclear power plant. I think estimate of power cost of those reactors are l
