On the other side, the way people act towards websites and companies has validate most of Ayn Rand's books. If you are one of the many people railing against YouTube or Facebook I encourage you to leave the platform and go build your o

The difference is that when China actually cracks down things change relatively quickly. In 10 years this group [1] will be lower than in the US [1] https://www.bmj.com/content/393/bmj.s771

Conversion sounds too soft and they probably have an army of lawyers to argue that it's not somehow not technically Conversion in $jurisdiction. "Theft by extortion" is probably better since they are saying agree to the terms

>They upload the pictures to iCloud even though I didn’t sign up. Many a celeb has been bitten by this one, Apple is 100% evil for doing it. I guess they just do it for lulz? Odd for one of the richest companies on earth

I think mathematicians like LLMs because this is the first time we have something like a computer for the kinds of math most people do, high level, hand wavy abstractions that are (relatively) easy for people to grok but hard to explain to

Stolen or counterfeit. For people that don't know Yu-Gi-Oh $1M is a ludicrous number since Konami has and has had a very aggressive reprint policy. The value here entirely comes from the fact that it's an uncut sheet, I'd be

The article is the opposite of informative, it meaningless comparing an industrial growth sector to residential. 40k residents use a million times more toilet paper a year. It uses about the same amount of energy as a similarly sized steel

There is only so much we can compress information, especially the spatiotemporal information that leads to breakthroughs in mathematics. Still doesn't mean we can't have 99% of the benefits of current 10T models in a 1B+search

Bad idea. Unneeded infrastructure isn't cheap to maintain. It would have to be a bike trail and it's still of limited usefulness when the internet exists and there is no infrastructure to maintain vehicles. What Africa needs is su

This is the demographic equivalent of overuse of pesticides in the US. People have to stop advocating for shorttermism policies that have been shown to fail over and over again. There needs to be a very high elementary school flunk rate, ba

Why would most people need a NUC PC or Mac Mini when a pencil would do the job? Degrowthing is dumb, people will find use if they have more.

Again, no silver bullet. You will have to know what tasks it's capable of and how to elicit that solution. The bottleneck was never code the bottleneck still is solving the right problem in the right way.

There is no technical solution to a social problem, rather the level of abstraction is wrong. Keep hammering these companies with regulation until the evil people leave due to lack of infinite free money.

This complaint is factually false. Click on the ask button and you get a Gemini chat instance that can recommend qualitatively similar videos with a description. Running with the c compiler example why not go the forge hosting the project,

And why would they? Google has Gemini even if nothing else happens it is patently obvious that the best current LLM will capture a multi trillion dollar advertising market zero sum. That right there is more than enough to justify Google con

Use AI to Fork it, add your own features, pull in upstream changes. What are the odds that the lazy contributor with AI is better in the long run?

by casey2 6mo ago
If AI was actually useful then this project would be irrelevant. No sense shitting it up for the "1" year (now 5) that people that are promising AGI is just round the corner. Founders go 1000x your own projects and leave real prog

Why would you even bother taking an interview with a company that has you write code by hand? Would you interview for a company that makes you use punched cards? How about stone and chisel?

EBM is actually a surprisingly old field, we just never had the ability to create and store and ingest all the data. There was another problem people discovered during the Renaissance. That the scientific method only worked for concrete mea

It's definitely time to turn these loose web features into a real program. I don't understand the desire to clone github as a website. It's demonstrably 10,000x more work to maintain github.com than a "github" comma

Stop repeating this lame talking point like a robot. We export because the crude oil export ban was lifted in 2015. If we didn't then we would already have the refinement capacity now. There are financializing vampires in charge and th

The EU can't think of anything better for the children of Europe than burning $300 billion on open sores? Investors and economists have gone crazy, chips and digital infra aren't worth anything, they just extract value from your p

This is why I'm not concerned about robotic labor surpluses. A human can generate tons of invaluable data. Right now they aren't capturing that much value, but eventually it will be worth it. That's why the EU is moving fast

So we should stop the one-time tax paid low interest loans to companies too? Or should billionaires pay their fair share.

By Americans' own choice. Nobody forced you to buy a $50k car on a loan you could never pay back. If most people just said no you could bike to work through a park. Or use the vehicle provided by your job. You though "If I'm

In most engineering fields we don't give the monopoly to people until they have actually demonstrated success beyond a reasonable doubt. There will always be groups of people claiming that the math/methods they happen to know are
