There is an absolutely huge ritual part to it because I have been trying swap out coffee and just take caffeine pills in the morning to be more exact in my caffeine consumption. I just can not do it. It is just not the same sitting here wit

The real problem comes when you look up what charity actually does with the money. It is hard to not get the feeling that outside of the local food bank, most charities are a type of money making scam when you dig into what they do with the

Zeihan is wonderful if read as a post-modern, historical fiction novelist. The characters and plots are obviously all exaggerations and fabrications of reality but there are many interesting themes in his novels. Of course, reading him like

This is "category" in the sense of Gilbert Ryle's category error. A logical type or a specific conceptual classification dictated by the rules of language and logic. This is exactly getting hung up on the precise semantic mea

This is a desperate move by a company that is in huge trouble. I paid almost every month since gpt4 came out but mine lapsed when Gemini was released and I haven't even thought of logging in. The subscribers are exactly the users who w

It shows nothing. This is a bullshit stunt that should be obvious to anyone who has placed a few trades.

I have always had vague ideas about this with pandas but don't have the aptitude or motivation to take on a project of that size. I hate Microsoft but love Excel. I was hoping python in excel would be this but I don't think it qui

This is completely delusional lol. No one that played high school sports can possibly believe this. Everyone knows by day two who the gifted players are, who is average and who sucks. The good players are never bench warmers because everyon

The irony is I am pretty sure you believe this because of some kind of heuristic, but I am not sure what that heuristic would be called. Priming has issues with repeatability in experiments. To believe that "debunks" the entirety

I got a quest 3 in the spring. Putting it on for the first time was such a mind blowing experience. It is obviously the future, for about 1-2 months. Before I tried one, I thought people might not like wearing the headset and that would be

This is exactly the kind of thing you would expect to happen and to feel in an insane unsustainable bubble. I am much more worried looking at these ridiculous prices on newegg that memory will be dirt cheap 3 years from now because the econ

I am sure it sucks if you had a build planned. I had to shelve a build when graphics cards shot a few years back all the sudden. In general, I can't but help think it feels like something we will remember in the future as a marker of t

It is also right in their military strategy text that you can read yourself. Even beyond that, why would an adversarial nation state to the US not do this? It is extremely asymmetrical, effective and cheap. The parent comment shows how easy

I haven't really found anything yet that Gemini can't do in python for this. LLMs have absolutely killed any interest I use to have in the max/pd/reaktor wiring up boxes UI. I have really gone further though and thought

Many people also program and have no idea what a giant codebase looks like. I know I don't. I have never been paid to write anything beyond a short script. I actually can't even picture what a professional software engineer actual

Google was better but it wasn't far superior to AltaVista is what I remember. Yahoo was always more a directory of websites. AltaVista was better than Lycos or Yahoo but then Google was faster, gave better results than AltaVista and th

I forget anyone takes 4'33" seriously. Imagine a chef making a dish of just an empty plate. It is just stupid. Even the biggest food hipsters wouldn't fall for something that stupid. At some point one should have listened to

No, the idea is just stupid. I just don't understand how anyone who actually uses the models all the time can think this. The current models themselves can even explain what a stupid idea this is.

It works because we are in a health care crisis and the nurse doesn't have anything close to enough time to do a good job. It is really one of the few great examples that LLMs are good for in an economic sense. In a different industry,

Yes because working on co-pilot makes one well educated in philosophy of mind. The standard, meaningless, HN appeal to authority. "I worked at Google, therefore I am an expert on both stringing a baroque lute and the finer points of La

The best is the instrumentals on David Bowie's Low IMO. I know people love Music for Airports but I think it is incredibly boring compared to what Eno did with Bowie. Beyond that the first few albums by The Orb are top notch. Balam Aca

I am rather pro-AI in general but I just can't imagine in 2015 what I would think if you told me that we would have AI that could solve an Erdos problem from natural language but it can't answer my work emails. It actually doesn&#

I love KDE Plasma but I gave up on it because Mint Cinnamon runs my RTX perfectly rock solid. I could not find a KDE distro that did not have some issue. As nice as KDE Plasma is, nothing is as good as the RTX actually working perfectly. It

I don't know if it is just the wealthy either. The retired middle class boomers I know are completely outside the business cycle. While I don't think they have enough to really be considered wealthy, they have no mortgage payment,

What is obvious and what would be hugely socially useful would be to have a completely online, completely free accredited option for degrees that don't need labs. That would cause downward pressure on all of tuition outside the top uni

Gemini 3 is a huge jump. I can't imagine how anyone who uses the models all the time wouldn't feel this.
