You don’t need to be really good at cpp to write a crappy emulator. All the “really good” stuff is about eeking out performance. If you want to build an emulator start with a qt gui and go from there. By the time you’re done you’ll be good

You have to be looking for a job or employed to be part of the labor force count. Stay at home moms arent in the labor force, neither are students that dont want to work.

Theyll certainly go for something they believe is reliably mildly shitty, yea. LLM translation has largely solved the biggest issue machine translation had which was proper nouns. Its good enough for most business cases now

Most paid translation work is just businesses that want to cover their ass so they don’t get blamed for a wildly shitty Google Translate. LLM translation is good enough for that. They’re not looking for art.

The most sickening part of this is that it isn’t actually broken, it’s working exactly how Spotify wants. Spotify thinks we are so stupid we actually want their janky “shuffle” that doesn’t work properly.

The issue is that GP is misusing the bitter lesson. Yes, search + learn tends to be more effective than human rules based strategies, but that's not what's being considered here. The original claim is effectively that AGI isn&#x27

I think the comic captures that nuance by exaggerating the stupidity of the trump tariffs. If your trade strategy is "we must eliminate all trade deficits" youre gonna have a bad time

Trump tariffs are a corruption tactic. The UAE is paying Trump ~$100 a year to dodge tariffs by holding his stable coin.

Twitter had 0 product growth for like a decade before elon tookover. If 75% of their staff was working on product growth it's hard to say they didnt deserve to be laid off.

Meta is planning to use their own AI to replace their workers. They are spending hundreds of billions of datacenters. If they cut 30,000 workers thats around 15 billion a year in savings. Once their own workers are replaced they plan to sel

The post that responded to you does a good job of explaining why systems exist that are difficult to change even though nobody is happy with them. It even provides 10 examples, although some of them are admittedly bad.

Yes, but a right now a lot of the RAM buy is for demand that doesnt exist yet. Big tech is projecting AI demand and making sure they have enough compute to fulfill that, so AI demand would have to increase even more than they expect, otherw

This quote is obviously not true though. There are tons of systems that continue to exist even though no one is happy with them.

I think that makes sense. The "ai prose" stuff is a result of post training where the labs force the model to sound a certain way. It makes sense that the general chat models are trained to sound similar to mass market media, reve

I dont think so. Disengaging from the system does not move the needle toward collectivization at all. Step one would be finding like minded coworkers which she didnt seem to do.

I generally agree, but the very first sentence of this post is "Same driver, same track." This prose is so AI coded, that even if its your natural writing style you would change it so as not to confused with AI. If this was in the

Israel has plenty of bombs. They have a shortage of interceptors for short range misses that hamas and hezbollah like to lob at them. This is why they would feel the need to establish a DMZ. They can afford to kick all their neighbors out,

Law enforcement doesn’t need a warrant to search phones at the border. I agree this is a terrible rule but it is the rule right now.
