Alcohol is a solvent for many flavours. That's why you have a lot of it in perfumes, and that's why alcohol-free drinks don't taste as good as the originals. In Europe, we drink a lot of alcohol with food exactly for that rea

Call me back when we have autonomous driving, and when Bitcoin will replace currencies. What's scary and cringey are your delusions.

It seems Japanese are histrionic Or maybe they just care about craft, you know? Like the author of this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40313733

The obsession with animals is also a mark of humanity - lack of compassion for animals is part of the anti-replicant test. It's also a mark of the current neuroses of Humanity: making mechanical imitations of life, including human life

It is not true that "no one else has done this". Do you think neural interface researchers didn't thought of something like that? There are plenty of other electrode designs apart from the "nails board", and none so

Yes Yes Yes Neuralink is putting the cart before the horse: none of what they are doing here are the true challenges of neural interfaces, which are: -either neurons move away from the stress caused by the probes -or neurons are killed by t

Lots of words to explain that buybacks are nothing important, that they are the same as dividends... Without addressing why, if it is "the same", do those companies do it so much. "Nothing to see here, move on you illiterates

Is there somewhere a good feature comparison table between Zed, Helix, VIM, NeoVIM, EMACS, etc.? Or the same but for goals/scope?

LLM can _pretend_ to do all kinds of things, and fall flat on their face as soon as they can't fake it.

The current AI wave is a perfect application of Conway's law: the bullshit industry has generated the perfect bullshit machines, pretending to show intelligence when they only parrot what they've heard elsewhere - badly but convin

There was the same deal in Switzerland! https://www.thelocal.ch/20220104/gambarogno-the-latest-swiss... It floundered, because it wasn't just practical to do anything in such a remote place.

Yeah, better listen to the serial liar and bullshitter.

Exactly. That's also the deal behind those "1 € houses" - castles, even ! - that one can buy in Italy or Switzerland.

The main reason for the persistence of Nix despite its warts and general mess is just "first-mover advantage": it was the first, therefore it has more libraries/packages/development of the ecosystem than the alternatives

For all people worrying about AI "alignment": We already have autonomous entities who are a danger to Humanity. They are called firms. (No wonder that it's a bunch of very ruthless CEOs who seem the most worried by rogue AIs.

Isn't the rigidity of the wires enough to keep the sample stable? This doesn't seem to be real magnetic locking.

It's hard like translating novels - you have to match someone else's style, which is why it's thankless. I don't know if that's really a good pathway to become a key animator - how many inbetweeners are there for on

A company with a good QA (that doesn't stop at the vendor's gate) and putting safety above all will have more recalls. This is the wrong metric to compare.

Now that's a great use for AI! Inbetweening has always been a thankless job usually outsources to sweatshop-like studios in Vietnam and - even recently - North Korea (Guy Delisle's "Pyongyang" comic is about his experien
