Solar punk as a genre is mainly optimistic. I just read and enjoyed the Monk and Robot novellas, also by Chambers - though I’m not sure they’re ‘scifi’ enough to scratch the itch this thread is about.

You’re describing a complex statistical model.

I wonder where LLMs got this style from, since, while you did see something like it, it wasn’t nearly as widespread before the rise of ChatGPT, so not the most statistically likely form for these to be generated in. Was it trained into them

At least six dimensions, right? For each character, color of background, color of foreground, and each color has at least three components. And choosing how the components are represented isn’t trivial either - RGB probably isn’t a good cho

This is amazing all round - in concept, writing, and coding (both the idea and the blog post about it). I feel confident stating that - unless fed something comprehensive like this post as input, and perhaps not even then - an LLM could not

This always feels to me like, an elephant in the room. I’d love to read a knowledgeable roundup of current thought on this. I have a hard time understanding how, with the web becoming a morass of SEO and AI slop - with really no effort bein

I don’t think the added idea of “I pay good money for my GitHub subscription and some of that pays you, you are obligated to support me!” would help here.

There’s a mean-spiritedness to even many of the early strips that, at the time, I thought was part of the gag - a sort of self-knowing nod to and mockery of the mean parts of office and engineering culture. In the spirit of ‘laughing with n

The ‘thesis statement’ at the top ( It’s contradictory to sit alone in a café. It’s against the reason cafés exist. ) is entirely incorrect - and it’s odd that the author thought like that. But I don’t think they deserve to be denigrated. T

I feel like I see an independent low-noise phone project like, every 3 months. Clearly there is some latent demand here. I don’t know - it feels to me that this is evidence that there _isn’t_ sufficient demand to sustain a successful prod

Bit of a tangent, but another WTF for me has been the mainstream return of mono audio for music (HomePods, Echos, many Bluetooth speakers etc.), after decades of everything being at least stereo.

There’s something to what you’re saying - but it’s also something of a spectrum. Our need to turn up the volume in dialog scenes and turn it back down again in action scenes (for both new and old content) got a lot less when we added a mid-

In response to (1) - you’re right, but that also implies that the added safety from static allocation when running on a modern OS is just an illusion: the OS may be unable to supply a fresh page from your ‘statically allocated’ memory when

It’s weirded me out for a long time that we’ve gone from ‘we will probe the hardware in a standard way and automatically load the appropriate drivers at boot’ ideal we seemed to have settled on for computers in the 2000s - and still use on

Short term punishment for states: ICE and the National Guard get sent into cities to make people feel unsafe, under the guise of an ‘immigration emergency’. Perhaps also Marines! To punish more fully, just illegally withhold federal funds f

Did big businesses in the West really think “investing” in China would lead to “freedom” and such? You’re right in your assumption that profit-seeking was the major part of it - like, it wouldn’t have happened otherwise. But the idea that

I’m surprised home many technically knowledgeable people on Internet forums still think IPv6 is some niche, unreliable thing. In my direct experience, in the USA, at least Spectrum, AT&T, and Xfinity (Comcast) still run IPv4, of course,
