Or perhaps we should. Right now, an unprecedented amount of money is being raised for AI. If we can somehow turn that into green energy, that’s a big win for the planet. Those nuclear plants will be around a lot longer than the AI “gold rus

You’d be surprised… I ran a MITM proxy on my phone’s network and then downloaded ~30 of those scam apps which just wrap ChatGPT (you know, with names like “Best GPT AI chat 4”). I found about a third were connecting to OpenAI directly, expo

My goodness, how did that pass peer review? Postulating that evolution is strictly the result natural selection (ie our ancestral chain is solely responsible for what we are capable of doing) is such an archaic view. We don’t have to “rando

Isn't it interesting how we immediately get uncomfortable with that thought? I’m sure I’m not the only one. Logically, there’s no reason to get upset about bodies being ground up after they’re dead (since, well, they’re dead). But some

The stark reality is that there’s a difference between rape (the crime) and rape (the action). You can be convicted of the crime for a lot of reasons other than lack of consent. A common example of that is a 20 year old with a 17 year old i

You pronounce house like “mouse”, but “to house” is pronounced like “hows”, as in “how’s it going?”.

Yes, they updated their privacy and data collection policy. That’s kinda the blessing and the curse of FOSS. You absolutely can fork the repo, remove the telemetry, and republish it as a new app. But fragmentation is confusing, requires a l

I also have a love/hate relationship with HA. It has so many integrations I couldn’t imagine switching to some other controller, but I very much wish to only use it as a “backend”. I’d rather code the actual logic in something that doe

Probably because they don’t need to spend any time designing them. “Hey, remember that game we made in 1995? Let’s update the graphics and rerelease it for the switch at full price!”

Can you just block that element with your adblocker? FWIW, that’s just a Substack feature. It’s not like the authors all got together and decided they all wanted to make a modal pop up on scroll and interrupt your reading.

What's the point of "protecting" random SSNs? It's a 9 digit number and there are 331 million current people / active numbers. Even if you're generating numbers completely randomly, 1/3 of them will be rea

Keep in mind that not all projects use the semantic versioning we typically see (ie major.minor.patch). There’s a type of versioning called “ZeroVer” where the version is -never- to exceed 0.x.x. https://0ver.org/ According

I’ve spent some time thinking about this. A lot of things in life can be avoided if you have more money. Waiting in long lines, having uncomfortable seats, doing regular chores, etc. But it seems advertising can’t be completely avoided (as

The pricing is a bit weird. Their criteria is based on gross revenue of >=$200k. But instead of charging a percentage of that, they charge per install at a rate of $0.20/install. So if you made $200k off of 1M installs, you’ll now p

As if papers aren’t filled with filler BS anyway. This is kinda the perfect use case for LLMs. It’s not like the authors are using them for the actual results. It just helps when you need to turn: “We can probably go deeper” Into “It is pos
