Beautiful and sad- read and be reminded that real heros exist even in today’s squalid sphere.

Yep, with wireless keyboards and mice you really only need your monitor cables on the desk in this setup.

The issue of course is that the Judge can't change the knowledge that the head of the executive doesn't want people down the chain using this product, so they won't. Anthropic is a dead letter in government circles until the

Yeah, what studiously seems to be absent is a denial of the contents of the recording. Kind of as if Nixon's Watergate burglars had found damning evidence of Democratic shenanigans- just a melee between dirty handed criminals all aroun

To me, a lot of what makes us sentient is our continuity. I even (briefly) remember my dreams when I wake up, and my dreams are influenced by my state of mind as I enter it. LLMs 'turn on' when given a question and essentially &#x

We also live in an era we can create hydrocarbon fuel DIRECTLY from the atmosphere and desalinate fresh water in unlimited supply, from power derived directly from the sun or atomics. We also live in a time where the human population, where

I think a lot of those here are likely warehouse club buyers- Costco doesn't add anything to their ground beef or frozen patties. Sams 'seasons' some of their patties, but no nitrates.

Yep, I have an HDMI converter box that works great I got off eBay.

Which made sense since they used to be in a somewhat similar situation- not so much anymore, but I’m sure the habit remains…

Alternatively, gave multiple years for Linux to be good at what it supposedly is good at (wide hardware support) and yet it is still falling on its face…
