This is hands down one of the best instant payment platforms at the moment. Only India's UPI can match it in features, and China and Thailand in adoption. Most Western countries have had a (somewhat timid) taste of instant payments, bu

Very tricky. First, it needs management change willing to go Jerry McGuire on the c-suite and Foundation, plus deal with all internal culture debt and oxidized dynamics. Secondly, Mozilla would have to deal with Google - could be done, Goog

No they don't, do they. That also corroborates the fact that they could be both switched to CUTOFF within a second, like the report states. That impossibility was raised by parallel threads here. In the video they are both switched on

On my Tesla Model Y there's a hand brake on the push button of the right lever. On the left hand lever there's another push button, the windshield wiper liquid. Guess what have I mistakenly, and scarely, done twice already when dr

So, this is a cash out before AI or AI-first solutions out do Figma? Seriously, are people starting to replace Figma with just basic LLM or simpler LLM-based solutions? I'm just trying to understand the timing of the IPO and the market

Sure! All the hypothesis in the Fermi paradox deal ultimately with calibrating our expectations of making contact, not with denying the existence of "STEM-enabled" species like us yearning for an alien encounter.

Yes, and I would add my favorite hypothesis to the paradox, an anthropocentric assumption theory of self importance... or let's call it an anthropocentric bias: Humans tend to define intelligence, life, and communication based on our o

Yeah, but the case law resulting from the denied ruling could prove valuable for others who need to defend their use of trademarks in API naming. "API" here refers to the broad judicial term, where the User-Agent header falls unde

Well the article briefly addresses this: it's about the iteration: given a problem and sufficient processing power we can attain an intelligent,correct answer by quickly iterating from prompt to results. There's also a measurement

Drawbacks for using a pelican on a bicycle svg: it's a very open-ended prompt, no specific criteria to judge, and lately the svg all start to look similar, or at least like they accomplished the same non-goals (there's a pelican,

Not really - at least at current goals, population size, etc -, even with the very high energy expenditure of, say, LOTS of AI hardware to run the "Skynet" we're driving ourselves into, we're talking the order of magnitu

I thought you were going to say "give AI the first part of a paper (prompt) and let it finish it (completion)" as a validation AI can produce science at par with research results. Before it can do that, I have no hope that it can

Udio has these random "halfway" singer voices that I find really interesting to listen to - a little uncanny-valleyish sometimes but interesting nonetheless. Depending on genre it can be a Nat-Sinatra, a Whitney-Dion, etc., it&#x2

The ui of the travel website is getting in the way here for both the user and the agent AI. Probably we need a standard protocol for AI-enabled services companies can serve from their websites. I'm not sure this would be just new HTML-

Funny, I came here to say just the opposite, that I'm glad algorithmic computing is still a thing in research and that not everything is AI. Ironically, AI is able to produce research-grade algorithms and will probably become an author

I have to thank Redis Inc. for bringing on this shitshow. I had no idea about Valkey and now I do. Corporate hats should consider the loss of general trust and negative marketing their actions produce. And yeah, I wish FSF or some other, st

LLM gets things right, when it does, due to the sheer massive information ingested during training, it can use probabilities to extract a right answer from deep in the model. Humans on the other hand have developed a more elaborate scheme t

Just the fact that one can insert a USB drive into the air-gapped system amazes me. I remember my days as a contractor at NATO and nothing could be plugged into those machines! I guess the problem is that most air-gapped guides and practice

An engineering mistake here could become a huge derailment resulting in loss of hundreds of lives. A 15 year sentence is quite lenient in fact if you think about it.
