Jeez that place looks better than so many schools even vacation homes. Something's really wrong with this picture.

Having been through the VC system, I don't believe his face value statement, and I 100% believe you're right. They want to invest, but not at his terms that he's demanding. The thought experiment is - he wants to raise 1m @ 2

At a system level - in Singapore it is. HDB (public) for affordable, private for everything else. 75+% of housing is part of the HDB system.

You still make mistakes. Just because you did it yourself doesn't mean it's error free. The more complex the question the more error prone. Thankfully the more complex the question almost always there's more than one way to d

To be fair it's mental effort that you now have to expend when you didn't before. I stopped reading the news because it just became too tiring. Not saying it's right or wrong. It's just - I understand.

We were on another thread where the study was saying LLMs being used as psychiatrists is bad. Then another hnuser chimed that he ran a support forum for people. Said, these aren't the real problem. The real problem are the "AI gir

Downvoted. The mental leaps to connect the two are very very large. If you distrust western medicine's process then let's discuss, but trying say we collectively shouldn't because "look at Russia!" isn't it.

oh wow that's cool. I do understand why they moved away from it. Battery is waaaayyyyy easier to understand for the layman and lay-kid (me).

Are you proud of yours? I'm US and I'm not proud of how our taxes are earned and I'm definitely not proud how they're spent.

This whole page is an exercise in confusing UX. Left has "Active" in red because it's "Active Incident" not the cable is "Active" but at first glance "Active" makes it seem like the cable is oper

Flip side is we just use AI to promote dissenting arguments. This feels like the war on drugs and it won't end well in that nobody wins.

It's not, but interference is a big problem. You need to rule out that you accidentally picked up some radio broadcast and state that otherwise anyone worth their salt will first ask, "Are you sure it didn't come from the loc

mmmm this is up to each repo/maintainer's settings. To be fair you don't know if one line change is going to absolutely compromise a flow. OSS needs to maintain a level of disconnect to be safe vs fast.

Videos of earthquakes are common enough. It's the video of the fault line itself fracturing that's so interesting. We know where the fault lines are, so we generally avoid building anything major near them because... well earthqua

How is tire wear related to the method of power? It could be a steam engine for all it mattered. Accelerating and decelerating, in regards to the tire, don't care what is causing the force.

Ehhhhh, I'll say it's substantive and not just pure hype. Yes the AI "resurfaced" the work, but it also incorporated the Russian's theory into the practical design. At least enough to say "hey make sure you loo

To me, the short answer is we collectively stop learning. I'll take the flip side of the argument and say AI allows humans to get back to raw, first-principals research and writing. In many ways, middle men of literature (i.e. re-blogg

That's SUPER interesting because obviously the researchers didn't look here first. That even if "therapy chatbots" were fixed, you'd still have a massive space where the true problem is. On the ground, it's wi
