If you can tolerate the price, I am _confident_ that you will pretty much always have better results using the Earth as your thermal exhaust, because you don't have to dig very far to find a large region that's pretty much always

To be fair, in most states you don't even have to sue to recover back wages. You just file a report with the state labor board, who are empowered to bring legal action on your behalf.

Forget the crypto markets, it was obvious that multibillion dollar profits were being made on well-timed trades in stock and options markets before every tariff announcement. I really, really hope that when Trump is out of office and a De

3000 hours is a lot for a 3D printer, especially if you're not printing in PLA OR you are doing lots of filament swaps OR you're experimenting with different nozzles and filaments. If you load your printer with one 10kg spool of P

No, it's not theft, it's more like a fee, or like torrent clients enabling seeding by default. Mining Bitcoin is a zero sum activity. Fixing open bugs isn't.

Yeah, I think it's been technically possible to automate jetliners for a while now, but when a metal tube with hundreds of people in it develops a technical fault while moving 500+ mph there's no substitute for a pilot.

What is the literal FIRST thing that any child tries to do when you place them in the driver's seat?
249.
by SR2Z 6mo ago
Probably because there have been lots and lots of news stories about adults leaving keys in the car and children sitting in the driver's seat and accidentally crashing them, since there's no on button.

No, the Meta board is beholden to shareholders and must work in their interests. Zuckerberg is kind of rare among tech founders in that he still controls 61% of the company. Therefore the board serves him. None of this is a secret and this

If that's the case, society will inevitably be disappointed. There are already ten million AI image generators, the overwhelming majority of which do not watermark their outputs. Google auto-inserting them is nice, but ultimately this

Is there any risk? Don't the model providers also bill by the token?

You are a European who drives an EV, so you might not be intimately familiar with just how absurdly large these trucks are. I was recently driving and pulled up at a red light next to one; the top of the hood neatly lined with with the top

The methodology is about as sound as a sociology study ever gets - respectable n and in a domain where "only college students" is probably OK. The conclusion is pretty clear: intelligent people are better at discerning intellige

The main advantage to keeping inflation as low as possible but positive is also that it makes interest rates cheaper. Individuals are incentivized to spend when there's inflation, but banks have a harder time writing loans because the

The general rule for video codecs is that each release reduces the required bitrate by 30% - a release cycle is 7-10 years so each year the research version of the new codec can be expected to improve ~5%.

Hold on - you say "we find more gold every day" and then go on to suggest that the money supply doesn't actually need to keep up with economic growth? If we had the technology to maintain 0% inflation, we would do that. We c

Fair enough, but the fact is that until fairly recently most software wouldn't even pretend to care about conserving bandwidth. I certainly would never expect a desktop OS to do this well, even if MS loves their revenue-generating &qu

Honestly? I wouldn't stop people developing drug addictions until they're a burden to society. The "war on drugs" was never going to be able to stop drugs from coming into the US, but it DID stop regular people from hav

I fully agree with you, but the answer is obviously "because he's a very unpleasant man."

The difference between heroin and nicotine, practically speaking, is that one of them will ruin your life and make you a burden to everyone around you and the other one will make you a little grumpy.

The United States has many close allies who manufacture routers. Seeing as how we already share intelligence and military technology, banning their routers seems... inconsistent. The part that will make it absurd is going to come when Trum

But an adult is and should be allowed to develop a nicotine addiction. The reason why people do above all else is that nicotine is an intoxicant and (to most people) pretty pleasant. It's a rational choice. It's addictive, but th

I don't think there's any definitive way to check, but for me one of the biggest tells that a long piece of writing was LLM generated is that it will hardly say anything given how many words are in it. (well that and the "it&

So... add another presubmit test that fails when a test is removed. Require human reviews. It's not like a human being always pushes correct code, my risk assessment for an LLM reading a small bug and just making a PR is that thinking

I mean, having unit tests and not allowing PRs in unless they all pass is pretty easy (or requiring human review to remove a test!). A software engineer takes a spec which "shifts the distribution of acceptable responses" for thei

This is not true. Aviation in the US has problems because of the tendency for safety regulators to do CYA when making decisions instead of adopting new technology. Leaded gasoline? Illegal to use in the US - unless you're putting it i
