I don’t think it is. To oversimplify, our input system takes a continuous stream of raw input. We can’t stop it, really. We get our input directly from the source. Even if it’s aliased by our neural pathways, when they receive that info ini

The difference is that when we experience something, we experience it first hand. When a model is trained, it sees a discrete representation of information. It’s like only being able to see 2nd hand sources of information.

Wasm and risc-v are totally different. Wasm is an assembly like language for high performance computing in the browser And risc-v is an arm-like instruction set for physical CPUs. Wasm has a lot of runtimes which are basically VMs that run

It’s probably because previous generations are becoming okay with drugs and millennials tend to be in favor of more permissive drug use. If parents think it’s cool, teens won’t. Pretty clear cut to me.

You see the issue here, right? Instead of just checking with a first party source, you ask a statistical guessing machine for an answer. There was a disagreement about the answer, so we needed to dig deeper. You bring up Wikipedia, a 3rd pa

I’m not suggesting an entire economic system based around hoarding money. There’s no “money should never leave your local town” ideas here. I’m saying that as a single pragmatic person in the current world we live in, it’s better to spend y

Using aider to make a simple Python script to fetch that csv and graph it on matplotlib was an acceptable experience. The worst part is how Claude refused to use seaborn. I used it to write a little bit of bash glue for a build system too.

I think you’re missing OC’s point. There’s always a human in the loop, but instead of stopping an immoral decision, they’ll just keep that decision and blame the AI if there’s any pushback. It’s what United Healthcare was doing.

One big reason is it keep money local. When you buy from a non local business, that money leaves your towns microeconomy. It’s part of why dollar stores destroy low income areas.

Raku is basically perl 6 and has some features that blew my mind when I tried it a few years back. Never really did much with it, but it was enjoyable to learn.

Describe a color. Any color. In your mind you may know what the color “green” is, but can you describe it without making analogies? We humans attempt to describe those ideas, but we cant accurately describe color. We know it when we see it.

Those are not mutually exclusive. We are both creating content which hacker news serves up to people who read comments. We’re not the only ones this conversation is seen by. Hacker news is, among other things, a platform for YC to find tale

The best feature of Linux is its ability to continue working just fine after rebuilding an entire computer. Windows screams that its license is invalid and requires a reinstall.

Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon. In the early internet days, there were no web-native companies. No entities really using the reach and software distribution power of the internet. It was a wide open pasture you could use to ship produc
