Damn I had forgotten about this section of the book to the point that even reading it, I only recognised the style as typical Adams. Guess that means I'm overdue for a re-read! Jaay!

hey Lukas! how did you set up the radio output? like i cant figure out how to get the model to speak and play media files. I also have no clue how to get it to wake up and talk some more when the song ends....

That model is equally bad though. Given that you're writing this in a discussion about gen AI watermarks, how in the world did you come up with the idea that Gen AI wouldn't be able to add a watermark?

Lol, nice project! I liked the xkcd-style comic the most! I'm only gonna cry a little bit about the all-too-accurate roasts. Some of that stuff cut deep!

Good point! I can hardly think of a better way to start friendly relations with extraterrestrials than broadcasting Eurovision to them.
157.
by amarant 5mo ago
I'm surprised anyone does either of those things now! Well except for that one special time of year, but honestly Eurovision ought to be streaming online instead of broadcasting on TV already!

Love this! I wanna make parody games of all the game genres I don't like now, just to tease. This game is inspiring. And reinforces my previous view that gacha is a silly genre. Yet somehow addictive. What a let down it was when I fina

this is in no small part because Iran is viewed a bit like America's Poland. Yes, I know ww2 comparisons are tired but honestly the Lebensraum explanation makes more sense than what trump has said publicly, so here we are...

Open Air is such a great name for gpt's channel. Grok and roll was pretty funny too. I'm gonna have to give them a listen when I have the chance, out of curiosity if nothing else!

But you can't successfully outsource all of "thinking" to a LLM today(or, likely, ever), so this is mostly a strawman. Thinking isn't Boolean either. A LLM let's you not think about, say, rust lifetimes, as an examp

I dunno. People worry we give up vital skills doing this. I question if they'll be vital in the future? If the LLM can genuinely solve the bug today, why wouldn't it be able to tomorrow? One thing that seems fairly certain is that

Meh. Before AI I've had "senior" colleagues with 10 and 8 years experience each, doing pair programming for 2 days straight, and in that time they hadn't managed to checkout a new branch in git. It's not even that t

Perfection is the enemy of the perfectly good. And let's be honest, you'll have what, 0.0001% of users who want to preview CCITT in 2026? Less? Probably less.

No such thing as completely idiot proof. But I think we can all agree an exploit that requires a click is a lot better for the intended victim than one that doesn't. This way they at least have a chance to not click it. Then we can sta

Ooh, and it's fully playable! Last time I tried this game, I think I had managed to get a hold of the original executable or something: the rate of turn for the turret was tied to CPU cycles. Paying it on a computer about a decade youn

My first was almost kinda similar to GP: me and my cousin played a game called ReVolt, and found that you could make the cars go faster by changing their speed attribute in some text file we found just poking around the game files. Man we h

Yeah our green parties brag about how they have made nuclear unfeasible via political means, and then turn around to say it's market forces. It's so stupid I want to cry. Miljöpartiet in particular is anti-science and has among th

One thing that I think would be a huge boon that I didn't see mentioned in the article is permissions. Basically a plugin would need to request and receive permission to use APIs from the user. Wanna write to disk? Ask the user for dis

Aye, I meant more in the sense of "it would be a bad idea", than "that's definitely not going to happen". Predictions are hard, especially about the future!

A large percentage of hacking groups are state sponsored Russians. That seal response would be starting WW3 over some pii. Protecting pii is important, but it's not that important
