They never show the fully packaged version of the tent, though. It looks like even in their non-rigid state they're too rigid to be folded up easily and carelessly into a compact shape.

Lost me at the last paragraph. Comparing billion dollar companies to small businesses does not make sense. The real reason for Electron apps being a thing is that there is very little competition where they are used. If chatting application

Yes, if they are made with new technology and the quality is good enough they certainly are. AI generated video memes were NOT a thing a year ago. Yes, the AI video generation in itself was a meme (Will Smith eating spaghetti), but now ther

12 months ago "way too many stupid errors" was constant news. Today, you rarely hear about those anymore. Sure, the novelty of the errors has worn off a bit and thus the reporting. Nevertheless the quality has improved immensely

Opinionated system prompts forcing this are awful. It's similar to putting "ALWAYS INDENT WITH TABS" in the system prompt, but worse, because "self-documenting code" is a convenient lie lazy developers like to propa

Yet. If the exponential improvement had already started, the singularity would already have happened or happen very, very soon. The logic has always been that the AI would have to have significant tools and agency to do self-improvement for

Is it? What is the proof for that? I think we've seen time and time again that self-regulation of the industry doesn't work and that businesses will gladly fuck over society if they can get away with it and make more money. Usuall

A strange thing to comment on an article specifically about a toolkit produced by Apple to improve gaming on Macs. Needlessly dismissive of a large swath of people too.

I am not ignoring anything, I'm looking at the broader picture, which includes non-biological evolution. Simple rebuttal to your specific point: The population of self-improving AIs will also go from 0 to many more. In a broader sense

Actually, evolution seems to show the opposite : The rate of advancement has only sped up, with billions of years between significant changes going to millions, to thousands, to tens and arguably to mere years now. Having said that, we&#x2

It amplifies "publish or perish", which inherently causes scientists to rehash earlier findings just to be able to meet publishing quota. Given the way in which AI is currently used in publishing, it is altogether way too early to

It's an interesting question: Are people who are very very securely attached to their parents happy later in life, or is there a ceiling? The terminology invites certain conclusions here. Maybe the whole attention thing is more a mat

1. The definitions simply disagree with you: "Hyperinflation is a very high and typically accelerating inflation." "Mudflation is a term for the type of inflation found in MUDs (Multi User Dungeon) games. MMORPGs, these days.

50% is very generous. In the video it isn't even consistently above his body half the time. It is also constantly a good 80cm above him, so even a slight bit of side wind makes it fully useless to keep you dry. Any wind speed above 2

You are overstating this. Mudflation does not transfer to the real world well, if at all. Very few skill-capped bits of DLC for real world activities. These games do not include many of the complexities of the real world and can thus provid

To be fair, macroeconomics can hardly be called science, though. It is incredibly hard to falsify a lot of the theories given the lack of possibilities for experimentation. It is far closer to philosophy than to any of the even remotely har

The man in the room is comparable to a human hand, and the magic rulebook to a human brain. This in the sense that we can easily retain human "understanding" by stripping away almost all parts of the human body or replacing them w
