I also don't use Kagi because of Yandex, and my reason is that it's a Russian company, owned by people close to the Russian government.

Someone has to buy that (presumably second-hand) laptop to prevent it from becoming e-waste. 8GB can be plenty for a student, most don't need much beyond a browser and PowerPoint. Many of my university colleagues were using new $5,000+

To me, it's more like prison loaf [0] than fast food. It contains the basic information it was intended to convey, but in a very bland, irritating shape. At least fast food gives you a dopamine hit that I certainly don't get from

I'm not sure to what extent an AI-generated skill will help the AI sound less like an AI.

I'd wager the most efficient way would be to sell your electronics and donate the proceeds to a local charity that does this at scale and knows its way around local needs and regulations. When I was a kid in Moldova a couple of decades

The article is about AI companies using the Internet Archive to source training data, not about people using it to avoid paywalls. AI companies don't care that the data is one week old.

If you read a book and then retell it to your friend pretending you came up with it, it is plagiarism. If you write down the book almost word-for-word [0] and send it to your friend, it is stealing. 0: https://arxiv.org/abs&

You're mixing up arguments. I don't know or care if solar makes financial sense for you, it does for many people. I was only addressing the fact that you seem inconsistent on whether something deserves to exist based on whether yo

What energy installation improves the landscape? Do oil wells look nicer? If I had a choice of minimal impact on the beauty of the landscape, I'd choose solar and wind. Great that you like your car, windmills and solar panels are also

by NicuCalcea 5mo ago
Solar panels may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they're fine, you get used to them. I think windmills look cool as shit. But then I think cybertrucks are one of the ugliest things created by man, so I guess the point is we each

By that logic water can never be wasted, it all stays on Earth and eventually comes down somewhere. Of course water use above replenishment rates is bad, it doesn't magically rain down in the same spot and all the underground water tab

The blog compares the cost of running Gemma4 31b, which on OpenRouter is offered by small no-name inference providers, not by frontier AI companies. It seems like a fair comparison to me.

I said Denuvo is "often" removed 6–12 months after release. Often means many times, frequently. I have given you examples that this has happened many times, so I'm satisfied with the wording I used. You said it "usually&

If I saw a headline saying "YouTube, your feeds are broken", I would think the post is about YouTube's algorithmic feeds. Search for "youtube feed", and you'll see that all the results are about that.

I think that battle is lost. RSS is already terminology the internet is slowly forgetting, being pedantic and insisting some RSS feeds should actually be called Atom feeds will only accelerate that.

I think the reasonable response would be to take the website down and make the repo private while they change the name.

Denuvo is sold as a subscription to developers, and it is often removed 6–12 months after release.

How do you know that it's easier? How do you prove athletes who have not been caught doping were in fact not doping?

by NicuCalcea 5mo ago
You can't definitively tell if athletes are doping, or students are cheating, it should then be allowed.

There's quite a big difference between "AI for individual rights" and "AI as a human right".

As I don't talk about that kind of stuff with LLMs, can you give us a few examples of what you consider pathological alignment toward political correctness? What tests should I run?

Ah sorry, it's one of those annoying websites that automatically load another article when you scroll down too far. Updated the link.

Can these AI-generated articles not be prompted to at least cite the primary sources? How do I know any of this is true? Here's a much better article: https://aimagazine.com/news/why-uber-has-already-burned-thro...

Not to dismiss the experience of Brazil, but Korea believed you would die if you had an electric fan on with no windows open. Safe to say entire countries are not infallible either.

When I registered with my GP in the UK, they asked me whether I would need an interpreter and what language. They then provide professional interpreters. https://www.england.nhs.uk/interpreting/
