> There’s no modern cultural framework for dealing with death. Indeed. We used to have religion to help us deal with it. In our modern world driven by science, death is just the absence of life. Since all (physical, chemical) reactions h

0.1%? You think so? Sorry you're wrong. Suburban population is the largest demographic in North America. And Home Depot says otherwise. They have reported record profits year over year for the past two decades. Just because you don&#x2

I love the post, but your blurry text is hurting my eyes. Looks like it's intentionally blurry but I can't figure out why. This can't be a holdover from older systems, they had razor-sharp text rendering on CRTs.

Mercedes is quite close. They have demonstrated commercially viable Level 3 ADAS systems.

And the air is within acceptable temperature and pressure ranges. I assume configuration takes weight into account as well.

Try moving a few bags of sod and mulch via public transit. Condescending tone is condescending.

Drones crash on takeoff all the time. Worth noting that drones are more than just quadcopters and serious drones are often winged aircraft.

Who else can bust BigCo's balls if not big .gov? A tension between these two entities is the best outcome. It's when they collude that the little guys get screwed.

The very same, but those days are long gone. Nowadays, I find myself steering my kids away from a career in tech. It's such a dismal place to be.

It didn't strike me that this was written by a machine, not a person. Some bloggers prefer a punchy writing style. How can you be sure?

Is it a Visa or Mastercard then?

Commercial banks don't usually share consumer info with each other. Unless it's the same bank, they're probably safe. Plus, there's no way to obtain a network-connected SIM with cash, so all of this is moot.

Used everywhere to buy everything? Some serious evidence is required to support this claim. I bet she can't even buy candy at your neighbourhood convenience store.

Did you pay cash? If not, you already gave them your real name and info.

Someone with many parallel trains of thought is not necessarily inflicted with ADHD. It's natural for some human brains to race a mile a minute while others to plod along slowly and methodically. I've known very smart people on bo

It's worth noting that a great deal of the high depends on biology. Some human beings produce high quantities of endorphins under muscular strain. Others don't. Not everyone gets the same high, and some people may not get high at

This is revisionist at best. Manjaro has always been portrayed as Arch with a GUI by both sets of maintainers.

I guess my only option is to switch to a more stable distro such as Debian or SUSE. Manjaro has always been touted as a very light distro, good for old machines, but its instability makes it a no-go.

I didn't say anything about the machine being on the internet persistently. It's a laptop sitting in storage mostly. The updates are for when it comes out of hiding.

YMMV. Manjaro's broken on me multiple times. I leave a machine alone for two years and it's next upgrade is almost guaranteed to break something.

Yes, but only according to the company's own logs, which were not externally validated. To rephrase, the company thinks this was an active attacker based on logs its own tool generates. It does not discount the possibility that the too

I'm not a fanboy, far from it. I'm not affiliated with the lab or his work. I'm not even a big fan of machine learning. But Hinton's contributions to the field cannot be understated. He single-handedly kept it alive for

Say what? Show some respect, son! Hinton published the seminal paper on backpropagation. He also invented Boltzmann machines, unsupervised learning and mixture of ecperts models. He championed machine learning for 20 years even though there

I think LLMs are absolutely fantastic tools. But I think we keep getting stuck on calling them AI. LLMs are not sentient. We can make great strides if we treat them as the next generation of helpers for all intellectual and creative arts.
