Side note: for those with large PC game libraries, Playnite is a godsend! It has a similar UX as RomM, in fact it seems to be inspired by Playnite and has a plugin for it. It also uses most of the same metadata sources. Playnite is quite ma

Could you elaborate on these hardware projects? They sound cool. If your workflow lets you crank out hardware quickly and cheaply enough for just a marketing stunt, you must be using methodologies we could learn from. I’m not convinced deve

I completely agree with you. But perhaps we should be more worried that OpenAI or Google can retain all this data and do pretty much what they want with it in the first place, without a judge getting into the picture.

I remain rather sceptical about the methods they use to extract these, which boil down to mostly just asking the LLM about it with some tricks to do so against instructions. And this repo provides no documentation about how they were extrac

This is a reasonable take, and there is strong precedent that it can work. In Germany, the drinking age for beer and similar lower alcohol drinks is 16 instead of 18, and it has a big impact in preventing teenagers from binge drinking vodka

I don't disagree, but let's not forget that there is a significant difference with main things that are age-gated right now: alcohol, tobacco, driving... It's not just about addiction or mental health, it's a whole diffe

Weird how we ended up making real-life objects that "curse" everything and everyone they touch with "invisible evil death magic". It's right out of a fairy tale.

That's a good point, beyond prediction, history does have utility for surfacing "shared stories" that bring people together. Let's not underestimate the real-world impact of such stories. Most big societal movements, bot

Right, makes sense, it's all about it causing a sufficiently "steep" space curvature and/or over a long enough distance, to offset the speed of light trying to escape. Of course, high density is not the only way to have

Do they look like singularities? As I understand it, any object that crosses a certain density threshold, to a point where light cannot escape its gravitational pull, is effectively a black-hole (even if the mathematical model for them is m

This actually seems rather usable! It is rare that an esolang focused on aesthetics is so readable and relatively easy to use. And this idea can probably be applied for any Lisp-like, any stack based language or array language. With the rig

I'm seeing some reports saying that a significant frequency oscillation happened, which triggered automatic shut-downs, which cascaded. Could an event like this have that effect? I suppose it makes sense that it was an automatic shutdo

I see they are still using GloVe word embeddings for the first benchmark. Ah good ol' days! Nothing wrong with it, should still yield a realistic distribution of vectors. Just brings a lot of memories :)

I was actually quite impressed by the non-human version of the Waltz before seeing the video with the musician. It's a lot like the fantastic Succession theme, it's not a generic waltz, it's a bit dark in an interesting way.
