Don’t all of these symptoms have really high (>10%) rate of incidence in general population?

Due to some unknown circumstances this might not be true for this person, but it’s certainly true for a lot of people. Social media used in that context is effectively automating human relationships. It used to take effort to have a handful

The office coffee machine is not „set and forget”, but you wouldn’t expect the entire responsibility for it’s maintenance to be evenly distributed between all people that use it. Similarly, CI needs ownership and having it fall on the last

Well, yes, you need to know how to boot up an installer and go through a typical Linux distribution installation process. After it first boots though, it can be handled solely via the Steam UI.

This is very achievable today with off-the-shelf hardware paired with ChimeraOS or Bazzite.

What’s important though is that we can discuss the appropriateness, but it doesn’t matter at all. We can’t bend the rules either way, they’ve been arbitrarily set by someone else.

The point is that once you throw a moderately complex problem at it, you’ll typically get something that at least subtly wrong. So now instead of having fun coding, you’re rather debugging hundreds of lines of „someone else’s” code.

Well, in this case it's kind of similar to how people write code. A loop consisting of writing something, reviewing/testing, improving until we're happy enough. Sure, you'll get better results with an LLM when you'r

The 2% result belonged to a traditional LLM that costs cents to run, while o3 is extremely expensive.

It’s not a useful distinction. The first LLMs had less than 1 billion parameters anyway.

Your kitchen likely depends on multiple external resources, like electricity, water supply, ventilation.

It’s difficult to overstate just how little lag there is in such setups. These systems had no frame buffer whatsoever - everything rendered on the fly. You could potentially affect a frame after it already started. That said, if you ever ge

That’s a loaded statement. In terms of directness, how do you decide which people to help? In terms of scaling, how do you know that if everyone did what you do, the resources would actually flow to all parties according to their needs, rat

These changes aren't always easy to spot. I live in a city that acquired a significant Ukrainian population over the last two years. Whenever I see a group of kids that biked to an arbitrary location and play, they turn out to be young

So, how does it work out? Are the customers happy? Are the bosses at my work going to be equally happy with my AI replacement?

Computing has been transforming countless jobs before it got to Final Cut. On one hand, programming is not the hardest job out there. On the other, it takes months to fully onboard a human developer - a person that already has years of rele

It doesn't really matter if the model is self-aware. Maybe it just cosplays a sentient being. It's only a question whether we can get the word salad generator do the job we asked it to do.

It's not really depth perception, but there is a significant difference in how objects are perceived when looking with both eyes. It's also applicable to binocular splitters used with a single mirror/lens telescope.

Difference Engine basically implemented one algorithm in hardware, while Analytical Engine was supposed to run a program. I believe that could make the latter one a computer.

That’s a charitable take. There’s a picture at the end of the page that shows coffee dripping with much lower flow rate in the „filter mode”. The upper one however looks like low pressure attempt at an espresso, which makes me question whet

There's only one clip/snippet in there of the machine actually producing espresso and whatever comes out looks very thin and watery with no crema visible. That's worrying. Google "bottomless portafilter shot" for ho

We know very little about the quality of this product, but it's competing with the likes of Flair 58 and Niche Zero, which makes it adequately priced. But again, if the quality is there.
