Indeed. I have been experimenting with using frontier models for creative writing. Using adversarial models to evolve ideas. I have a whole novel of material, and the feedback has indeed been useful. But the actual novel? Not even AI mo

I rented one of these for a while after my wife and I moved in together. After a bit, I realized what we had paid for it was close to exceeding the value of the items stored within . Just get rid of your stuff when you can. Life will be b

This explains all those lots of "untested" WiiU's I see for sale.

In 30 years you may need to modify your PS5 just to get it booting. A lot of retro consoles have to be recapped. Also the plastic gets brittle. I was replacing a fuse on a PS2 motherboard and some of the ribbon connector pieces just shatt

Totally agree. Establishment Democrats are against these expansion of powers, but then when they have the opportunity to roll them back, they treat them like they got free stuff instead of inheriting toxic waste.

"After HRT" is the key word. The new regulations I am referring to had to do with how soon after was sufficient to remove advantages due to residual testosterone. There were other regulations which were total horse shit to your

I would say it slightly differently: humans themselves are tribalistic, and politicians are looking for ways to tap into that to gain and hold onto power.

The funny thing about that is - it's a solved problem. The reason you heard about it for a while is that they hadn't tightened up the rules yet. As with anything, problems are highlighted, they are studied, and new rules are put

Those are the ones I am keeping an eye on most closely. In a few generations they might be where they need to be for a "floating monitors" experience in AR.

I suspect that the current design of VR/AR is not likely to get cheap enough and light/small enough to catch on in a big way. Kind of seems like diminishing returns on headset improvements at this point.

Ugh. Parkrose Permaculture. I actually like her videos, and watch them to learn about some of the issues. I generally agree with her. Hear me out. I had an "AHA" moment recently, where she posted a video about data centers. Th

The problem the company has is not making enough money. It addresses that problem. The funny thing about that problem is that it is unsolvable.

I feel seen. When my wife and I moved into a new house, my big box of cables got sorted into several smaller boxes of cables, and an "other" bin. I also have a travel bag of meticulously packed USB cables of all kinds. 3 times in

I think we won't get meaningful change until a data broker gets hacked and a huge number of people (including elected officials), have their data on display for all to see.

I must be old school. I never got on board with Plex, because my "lifetime" licenses for PlayOn, TVersity and Twonky all ended up completely useless. Yes, those licenses still work, but you can't get the latest versions whi

I'd take these over a lottery ticket. Not mentioned: I'd bought a handful of these off CL as well, and they all worked. Dell business machines are pretty reliable. It's a much better wager than a lotto ticket.

$60 gaming PC's are doable if you buy an "untested" Dell Optiplex and get lucky. A few years ago, I bought a couple of these in that price range that not only worked, but had a GPU of some kind. Good enough for Left4Dead at

runako was making a joke about someone's grueling drive of 500 miles in 2 hours. ...Which would mean you're driving at 250mph.

Gotta be Germany and the Autobahn. The questions really are: What car are you driving? How are you not dead?
