Specific rates weren't known because they were spitballed last minute, apparently based upon a ChatGPT conversation. That there were going to be significant tariffs has been openly gloated about by this admin and mouthpieces like Howar

Quiet? Trump has been bellowing about his tariffs for months. China, South Korea and Japan -- long absolute adversaries -- even had a meeting about how to respond. The actual tariff plan is 0% based upon reciprocity, and instead is based up

Okay, I will concede it isn't balanced. There are magnitudes more delusional or in-denial people underselling AI in hopes that they can create a reality and that the status quo remains unchanged (and they're probably sure that e

I laugh at the vibe coding nonsense now -- yeah, a million people making tiny variations of the same crappy web games is not revelatory -- but it truly does feel like there are extremes that are just as harmful. On the one side are the supe

I mean...what image? The original listing had a terrible pay rate, they proudly boast that you'll be working 12-16 hour days and will start your employment making collection calls, which...I'd rather plunge toilets with my lips. I

Thought that listing was parody when I first saw it a week or so again. Since then the pay range has increased substantially -- originally it was, I believe, $80 - $120K for your "12 to 15 hour days", and onboarding that literally

There was one second between the driver taking over and the collision, so it was likely a panic reaction to an imminent crash. Which is fundamentally the problem with self driving technologies. If it isn't 100%, it might just increase

Of course they can get him back. If you've looked on Twitter at the account of the president of El Salvador, the guy is a lickspittle fanboy of Trump and Musk and is absolutely desperate to have their attention. If they tell him to j

They are testing for a very straightforward needle retrieval, as LLMs traditionally were terrible for this in longer contexts. There are some more advanced tests where it's far less impressive. Just a couple of days ago Adobe released

My older brother would type in games on the Atari 400 from magazines like Compute! The 400 had a brutal membrane keyboard, and we had no storage so you could then enjoy it until the device powered down and then that work was lost. The compu

Indeed. I wasn't very clear but my point was that other quasi authoritative sources describe it as a communications/coordination standard, whereas this is talking from a power delivery perspective.

The GI of sugar (sucrose) and HFCS is largely the same. Indeed, the HFCS-55 used in colas actually has less glucose and more fructose, and fructose actually doesn't lead to a blood sugar spike (or, more correctly, a much lower impact),

by llm_nerd 2y ago
Sucrose is 50% fructose, 50% glucose. HFCS has from 42-55% fructose (there are grades), the rest being glucose (well some 25% of HFCS is water, but simplifying to the nutritive parts) In the body it's literally all the same with minor

If the discussion was about the best way to play games remotely, your curious would be a great sneer. But it isn't. It's about someone doing full-screen video editing over a remote connection. And FWIW, remoting Civilization is a

It looks like an absolutely brutal way to edit video[1], even with an incredible internet connection. This is a compromise courtesy of the reality of the Apple hardware ecosystem and not some sort of ideal way of working. Sometimes I play
