One day, an AI will generate a truly groundbreaking research paper, and nobody will read it because they've seen too many bogus ones.

Kagi has a built in 'Forums' search that limits results to Reddit, HN, and other high-quality user discussions. It's probably my favorite feature.

It's not clear from downloading the mobile app how one would point it to the self-hosted server. I would gladly pay $10-20/mo for Ente apps to use my own backend. Unfortunately I have around 8TB of photos so paying for a storage p

Shadowbanning is extremely hostile to users that have been mis-identified as spammers (which will happen) while spammers will quickly and easily figure out a way to determine if they've been shadowbanned. That approach needs to stop.

For a long time you've been able to just describe what you need to a dev shop in India and have your program built on the cheap. And yet, most companies don't do that...

Thanks, that didn't come up in a search for me (probably because I included the word bread)

For the record, both ChatGPT-4 and Gemini Ultra affirmed that it's a valid date. Gemini reasoned through it and GPT-4 ran python code to make sure 2024 was divisible by 4.

Gas stations in New Zealand are interesting because for the majority of them you fill up before paying inside. They trust you not to drive away with their gas. Self-pay gas stations are relatively new.

Does this really get reported to the IRS in practice? Most companies provide free coffee and I've never seen that reported to the IRS either.

On the flip side, you would hope that the malicious binaries in these packages have already been flagged by antivirus providers.

Providing daily lunches to developers is an insane ROI and I don't know why it's not standard practice. It's pennies compared to their salary, and they are happier, spend more time thinking about work instead of what/whe

Because an airplane doesn't move its wings like a bug or helicopter, and it's wings aren't shaped like fan blades. One might look at a plane and conclude that since the wings and engines are parallel to the ground, it must on

Every medical issue I've ever had I managed to correctly diagnose by myself using Google (haven't had many issues since ChatGPT) and later confirmed by a doctor. I attribute this to my years of experience using Google to troublesh

I'd listen to Kaku on this if it were clear he had actually spent significant time using, developing, and understanding LLMs, but it's apparent that he hasn't and is just parroting other takes he's seen online ;)

Another step in the trend of everything becoming digital (in film and otherwise). It used to be that everything was done in camera. Then we got green screens, then advanced compositing, then CGI, then full realistic CGI movies modeled after

This reduces filmmaking to only editing. Filmmakers won't be choosing between 10 different shots but instead between 10 different prompts and dozens of randomized outputs of those prompts, and then splicing them together to make the
