I tried to learn AI frameworks. I really did. But I just don't care about them. AI as it is today just isn't useful to me. Databases and search engines are reliable. The output of AI models is totally unreliable.

What is the problem this 'solution' is intended to solve? How to not pay a fair price for services?
93.
by nuc1e0n 2y ago
Yes. And that needs to be paid for somehow. Who most wants it and who has the most money with which to create it? Big tech always talks of 'making the world a better place'. Paying these costs is a way to prove that.

What is meant by "fight Calls to pay"? If the power company asks a certain amount for service and companies refuse to pay, then they don't get service. Installing infrastructure costs money. It seems these big tech corporatio

Yes I'm aware. It would be good to have a group policy or some such registry setting to disable them all by default for every computer on the network.

A HN thread similar to this one about how using Microsoft Excel corrupts data occurs about once a month. Nothing ever comes of it. Those emotionally invested in using Excel actively ignore criticism of it, or themselves for that matter.

Even with algorithmic trading, it's still set up to the whims and biases of whoever owns that computer system.

Interesting hypothesis. But what is the speed of news when filtered through the brains of whole populations of people? It often takes people some time to come to terms with new information to the point where they feel comfortable to reshare

GPUs are easily and irreparably broken by overheating, so GPU compute is something that's high maintenance. It won't stick around like a building or a bridge.

Well thunder and lightning comes from the sky and lightning is caused by static effects of ice crystals in thunder clouds. So maybe it's something similar.

The ring of Brodgar is in the area where this stone came from. There is also evidence of stone circles underwater near to it from before sea levels rose at the end of the last ice age. If your religious sites were getting inundated I imagin

That's what I thought as well, but clearly there's more debate there to be had than I realised. Was the city not founded by one of Alexander's generals or was it? Or ever called something like Iskanderha? I don't know.

Not off the top of my head, but a lot of the misleading is done through omission, for which there is no source obviously. The stretch near Beijing gets a lot of tourists and by default they're led to believe they're walking on an

What a fabulous comment. I'd upvote it twice if I could. These kind of issues of cultural identity over time are one of the topics in Frank Herbert's Dune series.

Yep. They also did partial reconstuction work of the great wall in modern times and passed it off as ancient. Similarly, Stonehenge in the UK was also partially reconstructed in the 20th century. Sensoji temple in Tokyo was also rebuilt to

Interesting. I've not watched that show and didn't know it's the same story. I know the same graphic artist who worked on the design for the band Gorillaz also did idents based on this story for the Olympics in Beijing a few

Oh really? Maybe that's wrong then. Is the name a transcription or a translation? What script were the records written in originally? Names can be retroactively applied, especially in translation. Looks like I've got some reading

Travellers from Asia journeyed to the Greco-Bactrian kingdom of Ghandara (whose name is a corruption of Alexandria) and took Buddhism back with them to the east. This is fictionalised in the story 'Journey to the West'. Nippon TV

Even if you are reading something written by a human on the internet that's still no guarantee of trustworthiness.

As the article says, it will be interesting to see if NDJSON becomes more popular. Although it's a bit more difficult to parse and has makes for larger files than CSV it is more unambiguous.

All life contains DNA only if you consider anything that lacks it to not be alive. There are viruses which only contain RNA for example. DNA-less organisms are an active topic of research.

Winston Churchill said "History is written by the victors". Napoleon called it "a fable agreed upon". But first hand accounts written soon after the events by people who were there at the time are more credible.

The guys who work for the city are also just some guys as well. No-one is special and the only thing keeping the world together is the kindness of strangers. So be more kind.

Yes, they are. If only something like alloca was more workable to manage allocation lifetimes, along with compiler support.

From the article: "How am I supposed to judge the correctness of an article if I can’t see the entire process?" If you can't, then don't. When software developers do code reviews, obscurity of the changes made is suffici

The UK stills makes good cars, but the management at British car plants is now Japanese. When the management was British there was a lot of industrial action. No longer. What does that say about what they teach at places like Eton?

I suppose education being a sign of prestige was a symptom of knowledge being difficult to replicate. Books used to take a lot of knowledge and skill to reproduce and were therefore rare and expensive. So the greatest benefit of attending a
