German here, with little stakes in your shitshow. At no point during the obama years did I think: "Wow this looks just like the rise of the nazis!" Which was covered extensively during my history classes. Why did you even have all

This wasn’t a jab at stablecoins, just a startup joke, but in for a penny: ramen is at least 1:1 backed by noodles, and doesn’t depeg.

If you think email is still in widespread use because it’s doing a good job, rather than because of massive network effects and sheer system inertia, then we’re probably talking past each other - but let me spell it out anyway. Email “works

And it is infamously insecure, full of spam, and struggles with attachments beyond 10mB. So thank you for bringing it up, it showcases well that a distributed system is not automatically a good distributed system, and why you want encryptio

Nothing based on DOIs and OCRIDs will ever be properly decentralised. You need content addressing and cryptographic signatures for that.

How about receiving funds in coffee-shop vouchers and ramen?

The youngest millenials are still 29 this year. If they did a PhD they might not even have entered the workforce yet.

As a fellow german, this was the very first thought that popped into my head.

Whenever I read join optimisation articles in SQL based systems it feels... off. There is too much heuristic fiddling involved, and way too many niche algorithms that get cobbled together with an optimiser. As if we're missing the theo

The issue imho is mixing data and metadata into the same soup. Have a plain text document, and then an arbitrary graph of metadada pointing into subranges and the problem disappears.

Don't get me wrong, I think if the EU/California has any sense, they will forbid these models from being used to advertise for products, sadly money often wins. I also agree that AI sycophancy is a huge problem, but it's the

Show me one where it actively talked someone into suicide then, instead of generalized "whatever you do, you're doing great" slop. Even in the article linked above it never talked him into it, it just in some responses didn&#

> talk people into suicide In all of these stories I've never seen it talk anybody into suicide. It failed to talk people out of it, and was generally sycophantic, but that's something completely different.

Orion is the only modern piece of software that has ever made my mac less stable as a system. I don't know what they do, but it caused weird graphics glitches and kernel panics simply from running in the background.

On days like this I wish github had downvotes.

Well is it the humans responsibility and action, or is it not? You can't have it both ways. You also obviously didn't read the mail, because it contains explicit info that this was send by claude on behalf of AI village. It's

Oh no, they send him a "thank you for all the hard work you've done" email, how could they, off to prison with these monsters, they need to be held responsible for all the suffering and pain they've caused.

VHDL is ok, Verilog is a sin. The issue isn't the languages, it's the horrible tooling around them. I'm not going to install a multi GB proprietary IDE that needs a GUI for everything and doesn't operate with any of my e

I actually wrote my bachelors on this topic, but instead of going the ECS route (which still has redundant fields in different components) I went in the RDF direction. That system has shifted towards more of a middleware/database hybri

I completely agree that it is certainly something to be mindful of. It's just that found the people from there were a lot less delusional than the people from e.g. r/artificialsentience, which always believed that AI Moses was giv

I don't disagree that AI psychosis is real, I've met people who believed that they were going to publish at Neurips due to the nonsense ChatGPT told them, that believed that the UI mockup that claude gave then were actually produc

After having spoken with one of the people there I'm a lot less concerned to be honest. They described it as something akin to an emotional vibrator, that they didn't attribute any sentience to, and that didn't trigger their

If it's RDF it won't work as the foundation.

If "any amount" means millions of concurrent connections maybe. But in reality we've build thread based concurrency, event loops and state machines for decades before automatic state machine creation from async code came alon

by j-pb 1y ago
I think that's mostly async fatigue. Avoid it and you're good, you just have to accept that a big part of the language is not worth its weight. I guess at that point a lot of people get disillusioned and abandon it whole, when in

What these LLMs enable is fixing the foundations. If you considered writing a novel database, operating system, or other foundational piece of software two years ago, you had to be mad. Now you still do, but at least you got a chance. I ca

People giving themselves seizures and interpreting them as spiritual experiences is as old as kundalini yoga.

Just wanted to chime in and say you represented my case perfectly and got all my points (and their separation) 100%! You're right, I never said we should not care about LLMs because we also "rightfully don't care about meat&q
