As a non-USian but a fan of your republic’s ideals, I understand. I feel incredibly saddened at the slow-motion self-immolation that seems to be consuming your country. I read this article yesterday and couldn’t believe what I was reading.

Lol. Firstly, how we live now is far different to how we lived 100 years ago (people ate far less red meat than we do today for example). Secondly, how the bulk of humanity lives is inevitably going to change drastically. The choice we have

Love it. A great rabbit hole. Spent way too long reading some of the wacky and reasonable ideas. Loved the study-assist use case for Suno.

Full. Of. Shit. When I read anything written by an LLM, I feel either indifferent or annoyed. When I read the self-serving, reality-dissonant, vacuous tripe that Zuckerborg writes - knowing that its impact will be outsized and that he means

I always thought that those that can deny something control it. The workers, by withdrawing their labour, have effective control. However it’s rarely exercised and I think that’s partly because of lack of belief that it’s true. These days o

I’ve often thought that one of the downsides of being a billionaire is being surrounded by people eager to tell you exactly what you want to hear, remind you how awesome and always right you are, and mortally afraid to tell you anything tha

I love this so much. Did you ever take it further? Did you find anything close to ARexx?

Love it! Any chance you'd be willing to share what you've got on GH? Also, I wonder if anyone has tried creating an Amiga OS style Linux distro? Sounds like your work could be the guts of it.

Almost. I'm technically in the first year of Gen X ('65). I knew a some guys a few years older right into the hobbyist computing scene in the early '80s. I lost touch by the time the Amiga came out but they would definitely h

The first paragraph of the article and the contradiction in his own claims are apparent. He makes a claim for universal abundance so great that money becomes meaningless. Yet that will apparently be followed by a civil war in the UK. I don’

I’m sure that to the younger members here, you may be rolling your eyes at yet another “halcyon days of computing” post which will inevitably draw the rose-tinted comments from the boomers and gen-x-ers. Believe me when I say I get how tiri

Do I, as a paying user, own the output the LLM has produced or am I merely licensing the output? Most paying users assume ownership, in which case I’ll do with that output what I want. If the LLM outputs are not owned by the user, but are a

Replace the word passkey with password in your comment. What’s the benefit of passkeys again? If you’re not storing the actual private key in the Secure Enclave but only the “access to it” what’s changed from how Apple’s keychain already ma

I was referring to shirts specifically. If you put any kind of cotton shirt in a dryer it’s almost certainly going to need ironing. Waiting for a shirt to dry naturally shouldn’t be a big deal.

Ha! You remind me of something I used to tell my colleagues back when I held a regular job. They would compliment me on my highly patterned shirts (eg. A very small floral pattern repeated). I would explain that a shirt like that just requi

Strange. I’d guess that it’s an iOS autocorrect thing as that’s what I was using when I posted that. But I’m trying to reproduce it and can’t.

Good advice though too much “I” can sound a little self-centred to my ears. If/when AGI arrives I assume this tactic will stop working.
