I picture one where it locks the doors and drives you right to the ICE center as soon as the facial recognition cameras realize who you are even better if this is the only way to get around. no transport for whoever the Trump admin decides

Did you read the article? It's about Loudoun County, the wealthiest county in the US. The people "affected" both are the ones making the decision about where to put the data centers and the ones profiting off them. Don't

I'm not watching a video on Twitter about self driving from the company who told us twelve years ago that completely autonomous vehicles were a year away as a rebuttal to the point I made. If you have something relevant to say, you can

Sorry but you didn't really answer the question. The original claim was that transformers changed a whole bunch of fields, and you listed literally the one thing language models are directly useful for.. modeling language. I think this

Modern local models make it pretty easy to imagine a future where this would be useful, but they also make extremely apparent that the future has not arrived. Maybe in five years they will be useful enough that it would have been worth incl

because all the safety stuff is bullshit. it's like asking a mirror company to make mirrors that modify the image to prevent the viewer from seeing anything they don't like good fucking luck. these things are mirrors and they are

Gemini will lie to me when I ask it to cite things, either pull up relevant sources or just hallucinate them. IDK how you people go through that experience more than a handful of times before you get pissed off and stop using these tools. I

I noticed that my local library has a new set of World Book. Maybe it's time to bring back traditional encyclopedias.

Cinnamon? Really? In a KDE Connect thread? KDE actually was built around the Windows paradigm; Gnome is a Mac clone. Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome maintained as a side project from a distro with a bad security and management track record. Rea

ChatGPT didn't confirm anything! It didn't even output the decoded text. It made a guess that happened to be correct, at a greater expense than real forensics and less confidence. In order to use the ChatGPT response, in order to

It's a bad idea to try to execute a malicious string in any environment, but the payload is just base64 text and it's safe to decode if you understand how to use the command line. Look, I just deciphered it in Termux on my phone:

ha! I saw another comment on here talking about how ec2 doesn't need to be held to the same standard as the power company because it's not as important as real infrastructure. wish I'd already had this link in my back pocket.

The person driving is the one that learns the most in pair programming. In the scenario you've described, that would be Claude. LLMs don't learn. Doesn't CC sometimes take twenty, thirty minutes to return an attempt? I wouldn

I like how you changed "less than .4 meters" into "between .5 and 1" That was some smooth propagandizing you just did, I wonder if anybody else noticed. Between less than .4 (0) and 1 (1) is a much bigger window than the
