I didn’t say “I’m running into issues due to the ram usage”, I’m saying it uses a lot of ram. My computer also feels snappy and fast, it doesn’t change the fact that 2.2GB is a huge amount of bloat for it not having done anything yet and st

Does anyone actually use ChatGPT’s voice mode? It seems technically impressive, but when I try using it, it feels… deeply uncomfortable talking to a machine like you would a person. Treating it like you would a person feels silly: It’s no

Unemployment makes it more likely for the fed to lower interest rates, which makes the stock market more attractive, so, yes. (Unemployment also generally causes lower inflation in general, at least according to the prevailing macroeconomic

Good point! I skimmed over that part, you’re right.

First one depends on the bowling ball. Most alleys have balls ranging from 7lb to 16lb, all the same volume, and the crossover point where they’d sink is 11.6lb. If it was a floating bowling ball, the lake water level would stay the same wh

15% improvements are usually called “fixing a mistake in the code” or “getting to that task in the backlog for optimizing that code we had to ship on a deadline”. They’re more likely the bigger the company: more contributors working in disp

> I don’t really like AI but let’s stop kidding ourselves If I had to create a tagline to describe my opinions about AI in a single sentence, that’d be it. It’s possible to both hate AI and be impressed by it at the same time. Lying to o

> the state of the art lower bounds on time complexity of algorithms for solving 3SAT is O(n) Wow, that’s pretty stark. “What’s the minimum time it would take to solve this problem?” “Well, at the very least you’d have to read the input

Indeed, the internet is absolutely gonna be with us forever, but I’d hate to be the guy who bought Cisco stock in August of 2000. (It took 25 years to recover.) Although at its peak, CSCO was up ~2500% in a 5-year period, whereas NVDA is “o

Indeed, won’t someone please think of the poor AI company CEO’s, we should be ashamed of ourselves for criticizing their perfectly acceptable destruction of our creative works. Thank god you’re here to swoop in and defend them at every turn

They got sued for violating copyright in general, not for “not destroying books” in particular. Destroying the books was a legal trick they used to continue scanning them without breaking the law. If I were running the AI company and my law

Copying it. Because they clearly believe that they’re allowed to do so. For physical books, they believe they’re not allowed to, hence the destruction. It’s abhorrent, I agree… maybe if your world domination plan involves destroying rare

I think it’s pretty clear in GP’s first sentence that they believe artists should get compensation during the first 10 years. I personally would change it to something more like 20 years but I share the idea.

Reminds me of when Apple finally moved the iPhone to USB-C… they defended lightning for the longest time, but then when when they finally did the switch, all I could think was “the last N years [0] of lightning accessories I’ve bought are n

IMO it depends on the language… to me, map/collect/etc are useful in languages that have the concept of immutable data, because you can initialize an array with a single call chain, and be sure that nothing after that can modify i

Except you don't need a multiplexer for that. Essentially all modern terminals have tabs. Many have split-screen. Even windows ships with a half-decent terminal with tabs and multiple panes by default now! A multiplexer's job is t

Tmux only makes sense if you’re connecting remotely in some form or another. Otherwise, it’s just terminal windows/tabs with extra steps. Even if your terminal integrates with tmux like iterm2 does (where local tabs become tmux tabs, l

Committing untested code doesn’t matter at all. Merging untested code absolutely does. What you commit locally doesn’t need to correspond at all to what is even shown to others , let alone merged. Sometimes I think the use cases for “ver

To you and the sibling commenter: D’oh. I should have reviewed the docs better, you’re totally right. Now I feel dumb. Wish I would’ve learned this a long time ago. (Or maybe I did and forgot, perhaps multiple times. I’ve used git basically

My biggest problem with `add -p` is correcting any patches I added or rejected by accident. Often times I skip through dozens of things I don’t want to add, then realized that last hunk was something I did need. But I can’t re-visit it, I

Related: I wish there were a portable way for xargs to treat newlines as delimeters but not other spaces. Since 99.9% of the time that's what you want. (GNU's has this with -d/--delimiter, but BSD's, and thus macOS'

If Russia's national objective is to have access to the sea, and doing so means they have to take access from another nation, then no, I don't see how the things are different, except for maybe in magnitude (Hitler just did what

Please look up "victim blaming" and understand how it applies in this context. If Islamic terrorists say "if you depict Muhammad, we will attack you", and someone depicts Muhammad and are attacked, we don't say &quo

So let me see if I understand your argument here. Ukraine wanted to join NATO because it sees Russia as a threat (I dunno, maybe because Russia had just invaded Crimea and "annexed" it). Russia's response is to invade Ukraine

Framing Russia’s unprovoked invasion of their neighbor as “politics” actually makes me less trusting of Kagi than before I read your link. It’s really not a good look. Maybe english is not his first language, but at least in America we use

I’m against corn production for ethanol too: that AI datacenters aren’t as bad as one of the worst ideas our country has ever had, isn’t much praise. You know what instantly outs someone as unserious on the topic for me? When they give an u

I wonder what fallacy you’re going to use to justify GPU-heavy data centers using zero water: are you going to take the “they’re closed loop” path, and conveniently ignore that they need to be continually topped off, and that effectively ma

Yeah, I'm not convinced it's really the site's fault... I can understand the logic of wanting the back button to go back a channel, but also I generally want to go "out" of a page when I hit the back button, so ther
