You might be in a bubble, there are a lot of people who consider AI to be useless. It seems you do not take them seriously writing it off as fringe, which is why you consider the discussion to be between evil vs benevolent. And to be clear,

Yeah that indicates more about posters personality, especially since it’s phrased as a universal. I’m more of a wing-it-but-have-a-backup-list kind of vacationer, planning is literally the least fun part for me. edit the rest of what he s

The bigger question for me is if Levi’s from outlet stores is worse quality - I’ve heard that originally outlets sold surplus, but when they realized it was a good business bringing lots of customers they started making inferior products sp

Cool, I also almost always prefer the subbed, but I meant a good thing for a wider audience for foreign films and TV shows. Imagine wider theatrical releases for, say, Let the Right One In, instead of a bad American remake. Think of possibl

Context: I think most recent use cases of AI is slop, generally people who identify as pro AI think I’m an AI doomer. But there are some good use cases of AI. This sounds like a good use. It reminds me of the early days of CG, it took a whi

Wow, food in China can be so hyperlocal that I thought surely this won’t include stuff that’s not know outside China, like Guilin Noodles, but its there just under a different name than what I expected. In particular, going to Hangzhou and

I used to work at CCP and asked about the backgrounds, and Homeworld was an influence. In fact the main reason they made a space game was it was easier to render detailed and beautiful spaceships/backgrounds with early-2000s tech, home

As someone who love the homeworld games as a kid, I can totally understand the type of kid who likes those games is absolutely the type that would make a presentation like this. The conclusion is fantastic, 12yo you had a great sense of hum

The closest I saw to this was my Dads Tandy laptop in late 80s that had no hard drive - the OS (DOS) was ROM and the file system was RAM, you could boot up with no discs inserted. In retrospect it was a great computer for me to learn on sin

Yeah I noticed that too! The article mentions other topics the poems cover - such as Japanese invasion and Zhang Ji, but almost in passing, the main thing this article talks about is the poem about cultural revolution. Unfortunately this is

Yeah I agree our minds evolved to think that way because it was useful, we succeeded because the way the brain works fits very nicely with how things operate at human scale. My point is that the scale matters, as we get further and further

Just because a model is useful for describing/predicting the world doesn’t mean it’s a fundamental part of reality. To be very broad, I feel math is at the intersection between how our minds work and how the physical world roughly at h

This almost exactly what I’ve been saying while everyone was saying we’re on the path to AGI in the next couple of years. We’re an innovation / tweak / or paradigm shift away from AGI. His estimate in the 2030s that could happen i

I think the griping occurs when things actually slow down, or system perceived available memory cripples resources. Maybe they point the finger to the wrong place due to misreading virtual, but I doubt people are getting angry when their sy

I’m surprised how many people bring up “Erm that memory is actually not being used” as if there isn’t plenty of knock on effects from how memory pressure is actually done. For example, if I keep chrome open long enough my builds slowly use

Lucid was a strong inspiration for my programming language Intonal, particularly the “fby” operator, which took over ~5 years of my life. Probably going to open source it soon

Not a Christian but there are parts of the King James that I really like. If you grew up in the west it can connect at a really deep level since so much of our culture is built on it. There are really boring and downright bad parts too. It’

It’s like when people think anyone reading in the park is pretentious and showing off - nooo, it’s just media. I like slow burns of stories, and was riveted by War and Peace just as much as the show Midnight Mass. But on the other hand I ge

Not only a great artist with a fantastic ability at creating a unified feeling unique for each project, but also designing for the constraints - so much of the combine look was around being low poly and striking.

Not at google, but someone took a plane ride to ask about a $20 billing error in person at a company I worked at. We definitely don't do in person customer support, and the flight must have been more than the billing error, so front de
