I was also wondering if the GPUs that die and need to be replaced actually become inert blocks of fused silicon or do they work at half speed or something? A data center full of half speed GPUs is still a lot of computing power waiting for

One of my least favorite things to come from AI is labelling any writing someone doesn't like as "obviously AI generated". I've read 3 of these kinds of comments on HN just today.

> Technology is neutral it’s always been neutral it will be neutral I agree with a lot of what you say here but not this. People choose what to make easy and what to make more difficult with technology all the time. This does not make so

This is cool but I'd love the option to filter out the author of the book you entered. I put in Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky and almost all the books are others by him, which is fine but doesn't really mix up the stuff I'm re

I feel like a lot of this is breaking up of culture into a million shards. People are being weird in much smaller domains so if you look at the old bigger chunks of culture it seems like it's solidifying. Just because TV is largely bor

Yep. Frog, boiling water, etc. If they get away with it for a few offices and a little money, it just becomes how they do business and grows.

I talked to my kids' teachers about their homework and just told them I didn't believe in homework for younger kids and they wouldn't be doing it unless they were falling behind and needed practice. Some teachers were a bit t

That's true, of course. It's a matter of degree and scale.

I first learned that it was possible to intentionally act "normal" when I was 12 (I'm now 47). So I spent a lot of years studying people to figure out how to do those things they did automatically but I had to do manually. La

Beating SimCity 2000 was one of my favorite gaming moments in my life. If you haven't seen it and think it's weird to beat a city game; if you fill the entire board with Arcologies, they all become rockets and take off into space.

I work with some bigger ultrasonic cutters/welders and the thing I didn't see in the video was the horrible noise they make. He says the knife makes no noise but they also don't have the noise on for the shots of the bigger o

Take a look at the maker community if you want to see people doing stuff just for the heck of it, with bits or matter. The article from the other day about a guy who put a web server on a vape, for instance. I do agree that there has been a

I was wondering what the orientation of the Earth is relative to the plane of the planets in the solar system. You normally see the Earth as basically North/South == Up/Down in pictures of all the planets but I don't know if

Absolutely. But you can combine motivation and discipline. Over time I've made my morning exercise into "just what I do" in the morning by having discipline as best as I can. But it sure does help to have a good show or the n

Does liberal mean something different where you live? Where I live, the right-wing republicans are the ones who are prone to letting corporations do whatever they want without regard to the people/environment getting hurt.

"confused" is a pretty generous reading of the situation. They just don't want anyone here from outside the US. Or anyone who isn't white, really. If they don't have a justification for kicking someone out they&#x27

It's easy to over index on data when it's the bubble you're in. I know it happens to me on Reddit. Since I see so many different subs it makes it seem like you're getting a well-rounded view of things but that can be an
