I can't help but hate that OLED has been replaced by LCD. I actually sold my Quest 2 and kept the 1 just because of this despite the 2 being better in virtually every other metric. I guess I'll have to wait and see how the 3 LCD

Sometimes I ponder creating a story about how different groups trying to infiltrate groups actually become the group itself. Like undercovers trying to prove to the group they belong but are actually just trying to one-up other undercovers

Unfortunately this article is really just speculation. No official press release or statement from the actual organization. It certainly looks bad. But I'll reserve full judgement until they release their side. But overall it's an

Republicans don't all not support climate change just because they don't believe it. Sure some don't believe it. But there's also those that believe it's not going to work out well to adopt aggressive climate saving

I toggle around with the idea that the system is designed or heavily influenced to be like this to benefit the big-industries and rich people. Have talent but need money? Work for big industry. Have money and can afford to stay in school? G

My spouse is a polymer chemist for a large company. They spend tons of time trying things that don't make it to final products. Even if they produce a product which has the desired properties in a stable creation and application enviro

It's funny I'm being downvoted. Probably out of a sense that I'm ignorant. Yet I've worked on large data labeling teams. And if you think anyone outside of the military is paying for very large native English speaking te

If a water bottling company moved into your town I'm sure you'd support them paying a little extra. You pay for your water too.

If its detecting non-native English as GPT produced then wouldnt that mean GPT is modeled on non-native English to produce similar outputs? If it is NOT detecting native English as GPT produced then wouldn't that mean it's showing

Definitely the culture has changed as tech has become a mainstream career path. Also I think there used to be a sense of the "wild west" where you could push the boundaries while hacking and get away with it. Now someone smart eno

I have experienced this on both nix and MacOS. Increasing the font size gives the benefits of the high resolution display desktop space without making the text uncomfortably small. Scaling the display makes the desktop space feel like you&#

Within a few decades there will probably be technology that would allow a semi-dedicated person to engineer and create a vaccine or medical treatment from scratch if the code was available online. Do you think that's a good idea?

Your post conveniently ignores the current state of China's AI development but mentions Russia and North Korea. That's an interesting take. There's no guarantee that we are or will continue to be one or even two steps ahead.

Is military capable AI in the hands of few militaries safer than in the hands of many? Or is it more likely to be used to bully other countries who don't have it? If it is used to oppress, would we want the oppressed have access to it?

I had a family member who used to educate people on recycling. Growing up it was a major fact that styrofoam was a forever material that would never biodegrade and couldn't be recycled. Today there are methods to recycle styrofoam (alb

To overly simplify it I believe we witnessed a battle of big tech vs big ISP. Each had a financial stake. Big ISP didn't want to pay for investments in infrastructure it didn't think would bring a good ROI or the extra costs you m

I mean, the rhetoric for net neutrality was pretty extreme. According to the rhetoric of the time, we would be living in a world of internet "fast lanes" right now if net neutrality didn't pass. Only services affiliated with

The city should run a public campaign to publicly advertise the consequences of stealing a vehicle (e.g./ jail, heavy fines, reduced job prospects, etc.). Make it clear criminals will be punished hard for stealing cars. Maybe they can

We do sacrifice a lot of our time to raise children. But it's the cost of childcare that makes it really difficult imo. Unless you have a high paying job, you are quite literally going to work so you can afford to pay other people to w

I support protecting children but it's amazing how individual liberties are targeted in the name of the cause.
