Maybe you should change the channel from Fox News, NewsMax and "apolitical" forums. It is happening everywhere dumpty and his goon squad decides to make it happen. Do you not realize these ICE agents are Federal agents? Sure, c

Yup. 46.8 GW photovoltaic in California and 22.8 GW photovoltaic in Texas. Over twice as much PV in California even though they have higher standards for new construction in general than Texas does.

Republicans are always trying to increase and protect oil subsidizes, cheer "drill baby drill", and have social media tools peddling their bs who are funded by foreign influence campaigns. The Democats may not be perfect, but they

The party is already being taken over by the energy we need -- AOC, Mandami, and more. Trump going full fascist fuck is a catalyst. We can have the left-wing reaponse to the tea party that really changes the country back to decency. Or we c

Rampant propaganda bots and consolidation of communications channels in the US is a real problem. Half the country is getting fascist cheerleading 24/7. When you can monopolize the communications channels there is effectively no free s

Because to really have the "bloomberg terminal" is to have access to all of the sources that it aggregates. A vibe coded "bloomberg terminal" is just an interface for slop sources. It's the information sources and v

To be fair, vibe discovery is a lot more viable than vibe coding. Vibe coding implies the LLM output is acceptable. Vibe discovery implies a human in the loop, because LLMs can't "discover". They have no inate preference base

Glad to see this getting another round of discussion. It was barely discussed when it was released ~2+ months ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46163347 Simon Willison is a cosigner, and posted on his blog the day i

It's a site that was founded and run by venture capitalists. It always had "pro-big corporate" energy. If for nothing else, because that's one of the potential exit strategies.

Which is absolutely unconstitutional. The constitution says the 4th amendment protects all people , not just citizens. It's been upheld many times by the supreme court. This administration is knowingly and willingly trampling the cons

It wasn't a hand wave. I gave an exact source, which OP admitted was better. They certainly haven't "condensed the entire internet into a few TBs". People aren't backing up their personal data to a few MB because

Agreed, but do you honestly think LLMs have reached the level of average programmer? Or is it more a matter of "they can churn out code until I see something that is close enough and I'll make the last few edits"? Also curiou

I think you missed the your parent post's phrase "in the specific areas _I_ work in" ... LLMs are a lot better at crud and boilerplate than novel hardware interfaces and a bunch of other domains.

It doesn't have to be the same analysis to put it in a partially overlapping vector space. Not saying it wasn't a useful perspective shuffling in the vector space, but it definitely wasn't original. LLMs haven't solved

The Gary Marcus proposal you refer to was about a novel, and not a codebase. I think GP's point is that motivations require analysis outside of the given (or derived) context window, which LLMs are essentially incapable of doing.

"quite obscure" doesn't mean there is nothing in the internet that directly addresses the question. Here is an english analysis of the text that easily showed up in an internet search: https://www.cantab.net/u

Of course you can. It's an amd64 processor with a different name and a coprocessor. Linux doesn't have any problem installing on UEFI, so unless they did something weird, it shouldn't be a problem. Apparently linux runs prett

It has been that way in the US since the supreme court decided that money is equivalent to speech. And the effects have been ramping up ever since. If there is only so much bandwidth in communication, then using money to monopolize airwaves

Yeah, but the OP is more like the "all you have to do is rsync and cron job". It's an article about the relatively complex step by step process that people do to implement a functionality. It may be the inspiration for an ana
