They're subsidizing a world where we need ai instead of understanding or, at the very least, knowing who can help us. Eventually for us to be so dumb we are the ai slaves.

This reinforces my narrative of AI being a terrible thing for humanity. It's not only making us forget how to do the most basic things, but it's making people with not a clue about what they're doing think they are capable of

If we shiver at the sight of some of those accounting-created excels, which we only learn about when they fail and they can't understand them anymore, wait for them to hand over a vibe-coded 200k loc Python codebase "which is not

funnily something similar exists in the UK since the post-WWII postcode change. Addresses can be "minimised" to 10 characters, or less. Obviously there's no way to change the real destination once something has been sent htt

It's helped me incredibly to proof-read a novel I wrote in Spanish and translated myself into English to make it sound more native. I review ever single suggestion an LLM provides (as I would do with a native proof-reader!). I think th

I don’t think they’ve improved much for common use since GPT-3.5, to be frank. They’re cheaper and more ubiquitous, yes, but when it comes to summarizing and generating basic text, they’re pretty much the same as they were back then Maybe w

I think you have touch on an interesting point here... When working remotely you really need to put an effort into keeping a healthy social life balance, otherwise you end up feeling exactly as you describe. It's easy for days to go on

a common problem of all systems that include a way for voters to verify their vote is that it opens the possibility of parties buying votes, as you can prove your voted for them.

I wonder how many subtle errors will make their way to the new codebase (decimal rounding, a library uses where a parameter is ignores and there's no tests for it...) only to be found in production and AI will be blamed.

I have been trying to hire someone with more than a couple years experience in frontend and event sourcing with any language in the backend for weeks and 90% of the applicants are just people right off a bootcamp where they just do Django.

even if they released them, wouldn't it be prohibitively expensive to reproduce the weights?

Nuclear doesn't scale quickly. It already adapts from 4GW to 7GW in Spain, but it does it slowly and ahead of weather conditions. What is needed is more co-located battery storage, and more gravity (solid or water) storage.

it's easier to move power than water :-) So as long as it's rained a lot somewhere, that can be used as a battery. Most hydro power plants are not in Catalonia or Andalusia ( https://www.google.com/maps/d/

There's a correlation between the death of Flash and the rise of mobile devices browsing. Flash was pixel-based and the whole paradigm doesn't really work for responsiveness.

I came to mention the same. Diagrams have redundant information, examples are badly picked, there's sentences with little to no value... I don't know if it's lack of care, the author not writing in his native language, or exc

This is what I used to typeset my novel. My editor and publisher tried multiple methods and they kept being impressed by how clean and "just right" the versions I sent them were... In the end, we ended up using the PDFs generated

How's this better than Midnight Commander? I saw a colleague using Far and we found that, as far as our usage went, both had a similar set of functionality.
