Exactly. I've already seen two very obvious AI comments on Reddit in the past 2 days. One even had the audacity to copy a real user's reply back into the AI and pass the response back again. I just blocked them since they're

I think it's different to talk about a conversation with AI versus just passing the AI output to someone directly. The former is like "hey, I had this experience, here's what it was about, what I learned and how it affected

I like the way DuckDuckGo does it - it offers a button to generate a response if you want to, but it doesn't shove it down your throat. It's handy when I just need the quick syntax of a command I rarely need, etc.

Yeah, I had a tough time getting into the second season. Joel Kinnaman was really great in the first season though.

I'd love to know as well. I assume there's already some amount of treatment or measurements made before utilizing the plasma. Obviously it's no good taking your problem and pushing it to someone else, but on the other hand, I

I think the main problem is just that's expensive and time consuming to do full body MRIs, especially on everyone over age 40. The only person I know who gets a full-body MRI each year was my neurologist who had the resources to do it.

IMO the ideal path to working on COBOL without having decades of experience would be to spend a few days groking the syntax and writing toy programs for practice, then collaborate with a large LLM to understand the current code and graduall

Indeed, I've worked on billing system that relied heavily on pure JavaScript. Not even modern flavors with map/reduce, etc. - ECMAScript 5. It worked surprisingly well and our bottleneck wasn't the runtime but rather the data

Microsoft recently added both Copilot integration and rich text formatting (!) options to stock Win11 Notepad. Fortunately, they can be turned off for now. I do like that the rich text support allows converting to/from Markdown, but I

That would be an amazing proximity sensor. "Looks like time slowed down again, there must be someone close by."

Agreed! I think the Pixar lamp is a great starting point. Having the robot be able to flex and bend, shake yes/no, look curious or upset, and perhaps even let it control LEDs to express itself.

I wondered similar. Perhaps a local model cached in a 16GB or 24GB graphics card would perform well too. It would have to be a quantized/distilled model, but maybe sufficient, especially with some additional training as you mentioned.

Similar experience here. I bought a refurb V8 that weirdly needed service right away, but on the flip side, I got a new motor/electronics for free since it was under a fresh warranty. About 4 years later I still really like the V8 gene

I agree with the parent that distance driven should be in the equation. If there's a certain risk percentage associated with driving as a whole, then it's almost certainly somehow bound to distance driven. For example, the risk of

Indeed, similar on some other models too. My vehicle can up or down the windows by pressing and holding lock/unlock on the FOB. Indeed, a hidden feature without reading the manual or some forums.
