The fact that sci fi has gotten more pessimistic is debatable. But if we had to pinpoint a reason, I’d say that Silicon Valley selling the world technological utopia and delivering attention farming algorithms is a good culprit. Now every t

Zip libraries aren’t bomb proof yet? Seems fairly easy to detect and ignore, no?

To me the article says: the electron doesn't fall into the nucleus because we found an equation that says it doesn't.

The advice here about hiding negative things is not good. It will only get you in the same mess again. When I moved to a big corp to a small org, I said politics were bad and middle management was horrible and I got screwed over and I hated

Oof that demo video that shows a coworker coming to ask a question and the guy just hits the busy button without turning his head is brutal. The device itself looks pretty neat, and seems like it does have a lot more features than that douc

It's an investment though. Every part of France that's next to the high-speed train really blossomed.

France truly has awesome trains though. Main criticism is that it lacks routes that don't go through Paris (like Lyon-Bordeaux, or Marseille-Bordeaux). But I live close to Marseille and it takes me 7 hours to go see my father who lives

Come on guys, read yourselves. The article is pretty good and to everyone not well versed in colors and wavelengths, it is very interesting and well phrased.

We’ll see how it plays out, but this could be helping her party ultimately. 1. She is a woman. Her party is very conservative and a male figure would project more strength and attract voters that she might deter to parties further on the ri

Maybe or maybe not. Further research should tell. Maybe the tests results are better because the children are more rested on the day of the test. Maybe the hum of the machine creates some kind of meditative noise that helps children concent

> This is powerful evidence that even though models are trained to output one word at a time, they may think on much longer horizons to do so. Suggesting that an awful lot of calculations are unnecessary in LLMs!

If I’m not mistaken the story was: despite the movie being much less impressive technically, its narrative and emotional force pushed it ahead of much more polished movies. Qualifying Blender as “Oscar-winning” is a bit of a stretch. It’s a

COBOL will guarantee your employment, but beware that anything written COBOL is going to be deeply corporate stuff. It will mean that it is hosted by a company that doesn't need nor want to change, or worse that it's reluctant to

Author misses the point. There are now basically 2 answers: - go with vanilla html js + some css stuff à la tailwind - go with react for anything with more dynamic interaction I am not a huge fan of either, but anything else will be costly

Well, it could be argued that the “optimal response” ie the one that sorta minimizes that “energy” is sorted by LLMs on the first iteration. And further iterations aren’t adding any useful information and in fact are countless occasions to

Why shouldn’t there be a continuous range of skill? Why should we want normal engineers instead of you know “good” ones, or even “really good” ones? Oh and also, it wouldn’t hurt to qualify those skills to the specific domain to which they

Who says is easier to rebuild than to fix? The rebuild vs fix problem depends a lot on the state of the codebase and on the inherent complexity of what the system actually does.

A social media app where you can only write with a pen. Since everyone is pushing their idea of a social media app with some form of constrain. I think only pen would be pretty sweet. It's slow, it's difficult, it's annoying

Deleting or falsifying data by the US administration is the biggest issue that the US is facing right now. They get started with DEI, climate change and vaccines, which are all issues that a lot of people on the right care about, and that h

This is related to the libor rigging case, not the 2008 financial crisis. Thankfully in some cases, people do actually go to jail.
