Looks like it isn't on the android play store though? Any info on this? Play tells me there is a version for a prior version of android, which is won't let me install. Not helpful...

Yeah me to... Also I love plexamp for the android auto support.

Not just the first AGI, but the book deals with a (very) hard-takeoff scenario of the singularity. The AI, Prime Intellect starts recursively increasing its capabilities and things rapidly spin out of control. This is actually a small par

May I suggest you check out the game "Turing Complete" https://turingcomplete.game/ It sounds like it may be right up your alley. Its a simplified digital logic simulator, you make basic circuits from NAND gates,

Yes, I think you are correct in reducing the argument to its basic factors. Yep, its fucked up. However if we’re going to talk about moral responsibility for vaccine mandates, we also have to consider moral responsibility for non-vaccinati

I ordered a mac mini m4 pro with 48 gb of ram a couple of weeks ago. Apple said 8-9 weeks.

I ran the 26B model on my i5 which has no discrete graphics card. It ran about 7 tokens/sec, and appreared to be a very capable model.

We do not. Elections here are run very smoothly, with no questions whatsoever about their integrity.

>means debris that debris that is flung up is going to have a more oval orbit, so the high point (apogee) increases and the low point (perigee) decreases. And a lower perigee means more atmospheric drag, which will help deorbit the debri

That is not how orbital mechanics work. It may seem counterintuitive, but if something in orbit gets a push that isn’t strong enough to make it totally escape orbit, it will stay in a new elliptical orbit. That new orbit will pass through t

I read a quote somewhere that said democracy does nothing to promote good leadership. The point of democracy isn't to elect a good government, the point is to quickly get rid of a bad government

Correct. Core came from Pentium M, which actually came from the Israeli team who took the Pentium 3 architecture, and coupled this with the best bits from the Pentium 4

I had 100% the same experience. I thought they were stupid when I was young, after working in an office for a year or two I thought they were peak humor.

100%. Its common for non-technical users to complain their laptop is faulty, because it gets hot and the battery drains very quickly. They have no concept of a runaway process in a hard loop causing this.

Hard disagree. Hacker news is IMO a niche community anyway, and I'd say the crossover between people who built their own PCs 25 years ago, during the golden years of overclocking and hacker news readers is pretty huge actually. If you

I'm in the same boat, except my first and last name are fairly common. My gmail account is not my primary email address, and to be honest I don't know if I could manage making it my primary because of the amount of rubbish I get.

Freedom of speech is a very nuanced issue. Taking a black and white approach is problematic. The classic example, is can you shout "Fire!" in a crowded cinema? Should this be illegal in itself? Probably not. But if this causes a

I feel that if you are in the target audience for this article (deep dive into the behavior and design decisions of the .net GC) then you probably know who Maoni is. I'm just a sometime mid-level .net dev, and I immediately recognized

Yes, my 5 year old Garmin still lasts about 10 days. And thats with using GPS tracking + bluetooth audio for multiple recorded activities.

THANK YOU. I've seen the velocity of the space shuttle quoted as the speed that the foam had when it hit Columbia's wing so many times, and it bugs the crap out of me.

I was thinking maybe this, but more likely X.AI would develop the models for Tesla, such as for FSD and Optimus. Honestly, it might not be a bad move. X.AI has done some great stuff, Grok is rough around the edges but pretty much at the bl

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Pandora's Star/Judas unchained is the best scifi I've ever read. Peter F Hamilton's worldbuilding is unmatched.

I agree. I've played a LOT of kerbal space program, and yes, this is just a game, with simplified physics, and a MUCH lower orbital velocity required. But the fundamental problems with an air-breating spaceplane are still demonstrate

I've read that when they adapted the story of Desmond Doss into the movie "Hacksaw ridge" they had to tone down some of the true events, because the scriptwriters decided that audiences would find parts of the story unrealist

Exactly. You are either pro-genocide, or pro-terrorist. What sort of choice is that?

To be fair to Android, this is a limitation of the MTP protocol and not android. To mount your storage as a mass storage device then the host device (your computer in this case) does raw sector read/writes to the device, the host dev

Yes, they are exactly that. The only (current) working deterrence/defensive strategy against an attack from nuclear weapons is the threat of a nuclear reprisal. This has stopped a war directly between the major powers for the last 70
