Though I haven’t been a professional writer, I’ve been a good writer with an expansive vocabulary since high school where English was my best subject despite being a STEM maven. I hate the fact that what was previously considered an advanta

I hate to say but this thread gives me comfort that: a) it’s not just me, b) it’s not my particularly unfortunate combination of hardware, and c) I made the right call to permanently retire my Caldigit TS4 and rely on my Lenovo ultra-wide m

So over 100K starlink sats and then another 50K mirror sats (see that other HN post). Leaving aside the very tragic destruction of the night sky for observers, I’m afraid for the day we have a cascade of satellite debris events that send us

Without further info that’s a lot to pin on the bottom layer of the stack. I have an Asus ProArt Ryzen AI HX 390 with 64GB RAM. Running CachyOS and Pop! the thing kept falling over at random times. Running Fedora workstation, it’s rock soli

At least when your grandkids look up from reading books where you’ve had to explain what ice skating was, and ask you, “What did you do?”, you’ll be able to answer honestly, “I did my best. Sadly kids, most people back then were arseholes.”

Totally off topic but this just came to me so happy to burn a little karma. Here’s a plot of a sci-fi thriller. What if, unbeknownst to most, when the vendors were claiming that there AI was too dangerous, they weren’t referring to an incre

Swapping the footgun for a huge long-range boomerang doesn’t mean it’s not going to eventually swing around and whack you in the back of the head.

Has it? If you take a global perspective since the Industrial Revolution it seems some parts of the world excelled at the cost of some other parts (through exploitation and expropriation of land, people and goods). Poverty may have been eff

I get the sense that folks here are assuming this could be the work of an AI practitioner or bot dumping a bunch of exploits. Assuming there are some serious exploits in this trove, what would the motive be to do it in this way - without re

Leaving aside the fact you’re a white supremacist racist as some of your other flagged/dead comments make abundantly clear, I’ll nevertheless engage with your first point. > A country has the right to determine who lives within it.

TL;DR. The next MRI. Pretty cool technology. As always, how economically it can scale will be the factor determining whether it can replace MRIs. Not sure about the Midjourney “spa” vibe. Sources: https://www.midjourney.com/

We need to clarify what we’re looking for. For some people, that’s general intelligence i.e. the ability to substitute an artificial entity for a human entity for all functional intents and purposes with the same or greater faith in their a

That’s not what I’m seeing. pclowes starts off the comment you quoted (“Faith in elections and election integrity is incredibly important”), then rayiner responds with “Faith in elections is a two-way street” and engages with pclowes point

Interesting. I suspect that in Russia and China there’s a fair bit of self-censorship going on as a result of their restrictions. Which implies that if the UK proceeds down this path, there would be a lagging drop in arrests (once people ge

Sadly, your faith is entirely quixotic. Like all other segments of society, there’s always a cohort willing to do anything - regardless of ethics, legality or morality. They are entirely nihilistic, not giving a shit about anything or anyon
