I'd imagine India has some pretty insane stuff driving around so that's not surprising. The US effectively did that (arguably even more extremely) 15 years ago with the "cash for clunkers" thing.

Maybe owning a Corolla for ten years as my first car and now a fairly old Highlander screwed up my baseline understanding of how car ownership should work. If I paid that much for a car and it lasted five years I would talk to a lawyer abou

So people are supposed to pay 10x the price of what they can get actually pretty decent used cars for and then not have control over the firmware? These companies deserve bankruptcy.

Touch screens have been around for a long time. Just like the situation on the upper end with AI: I don't think it's the technology, people are actually getting worse at socializing (creating stress for the people responsible) and

That looks like it lets you manipulate some kind of notes object. I wouldn't really call that a text editor. I don't think there's an app that lets you just edit arbitrary files which can be read by other apps or transferred

We probably wouldn't have even minded or noticed it if the people who replaced us continued the same egalitarian tradition we had. I think for many of us the destruction of that is much more upsetting than everything else (or at leas

Most people consider suicide on an individual level bad. I think it makes sense to consider it bad at a national level as well. EDIT: You sound like you're in agreement with me. I feel like I should point out that the Amish seem to man

What do we need people for to begin with? We want more people because we like people. If your civilization has a demographic collapse and your neighbor's does not that's probably going to end very very badly for you. At least it c

The missing piece might be thinking of these mesh networks as a new "tier 4" network and routing to the larger internet as quickly as possible. One huge advantage of this (beyond better networking) would be that apps could use exi

WTF Apple watches cost $450? You can't even run a text editor on it! What are people buying?

It also creates a licensing issue. Part of the reason Linux has so many drivers is because the GPL requires all of the kernel code be provided to users under the GPL as well. If you link to that in your OS/distribution now all of your

From people who want to lend them money? Or do you mean where is the Treasury going to find production?

Whether it's real or just poor communication a lot of the country felt like the scientific institutions had been weaponized against them. Maybe the constituents of those institutions even believed either making themselves an enemy of t

Most people are upset that Trump isn't going hard enough and that's why his approval rating dropped.

Lol what? At the time that was done we were drafting people to fight in foreign wars, taxes were extraordinarily high (after having zero income tax just recently) and those weapons were built specifically to support that.

Meh. For the first few decades consumer internet traffic was mostly porn. Stop freaking out and use the free effort people are willing to put into to solve technical problems.

If it's my civilization it's a feature, if it's your civilization it's a bug. It sounds like a joke but that is exactly how it works and many people have forgotten it.

Migration rates are so high incumbent home owners view neighbors as a loss now and do everything they can to prevent more.

Maybe older people just because of how Israel was sold in mainstream propaganda. If you look at the polls young people (both left and right) are very upset about how involved we are.

After you're stable there's just not that much to spend money on if you don't have a family. You might not be able to find a number that flips it for a lot of us. For me it would probably be above 500% and I'd still be c

I personally prefer the older synthetic voices for TTS when the text is coming from software or a language model.

Oh lol there wasn't even DSL, everyone wanted that. The options were dialup (over ISDN for a while which was one of the best options until that went away), geosynchronous satellite, or LTE if you're even near a tower. That's

In the US fiber has started to show up in very rural areas now as well. My parents got it last year and I never thought that would happen in my hometown. It's some small company I never heard of before, back when I lived there Verizon

Users are charged for compute and whether the outcome is positive or negative doesn't cost more for the company. I don't see where you got the idea that there are incentives to waste tokens. EDIT (can't reply): Have you nev

It seems weird to use stripe/paypal at that scale rather than having direct merchant accounts with the card issuers. Why would they do it that way?

If you wanted to make me 10x as productive in the past the best thing you could have done is quit forcing use of shared services and infrastructure I don't have control over. Any codebase that's difficult for me to read would be

Do they? useless tokens take just as much compute to generate as useful tokens. Burning a customer means acquiring a new one which is super expensive.

I had to do these for a couple college classes (The original OpenAI GPTs were just released around when I graduated, I remember reading about them and then avoiding pytorch because the wheels were a pain to build.) You have to get a special
