It makes sense that flowery language is more decorative than functional, but I wonder how much nuance can help shape reckoning, reasoning, and rendering -- if at all. Maybe RFC terms are all that's needed: https://datatracke

It's a pity the irony will be lost on those who most need to understand it.

I'm tempted to agree, specifically because of the depicted flag waver. That person embodies the leadership of the status quo, and nationalism is a core component of that. Flags are literally a statement of identity, but I think that co

I'm actually not wrestling at all with faith -- my point is that I understand the attraction and how in individual contexts it can be benign, but as a whole is the foundation of incredibly dangerous outcomes. I appreciate your recognit

I painfully recognize the value of community offered, as well as a sense of purpose. There's plenty of good things to be had from it. But just as opiates can remove pain and make one "feel good", they have serious risks as we

It's nice that it gives you comfort but it still boggles my mind how all of this gets rationalized. I also get that it's a personal relationship, but it troubles me because that mindset allows for an incredible amount of damaging

My company has an all you can eat policy, but I think we'd be well served by being thoughtful in optimizing usage so that we still have the overall capabilities but don't burn extra tokens by sloppy use.

I assume that there will be tools to refactor text to communicate the same intent but scramble the style. Using an LLM of course...

I'm stuck here but I'm in my third act of life so less of a quandary for me. The biggest issue to address your question is if the US is able to avoid succumbing completely to fascism -- it's not encouraging but there's s

I agree with the complaint but have yet to see a mechanism that is free of abuse and disenfranchisement. People are stupid and vote with their emotions or what the pastor told them to. It would be lovely to ensure that votes came from well

My definition of "intelligent" is native cognitive capacity. My definition of "stupid" is the failure to use one's intelligence. I consider myself to be relatively intelligent and yet I am not immune to being stupid

That's the thing. I can't tell him anything that he doesn't already believe. The programming is so deep that I think it's part of his identity and any questioning of his beliefs is taken as a personal attack. I wish I co

The appeal to me is that it is effectively a "serverless" shared immutable ledger. By "serverless" I mean that not a service behind someone's API that one just has to trust the data emitted. I think it could be usef

I brought this up with my MAGA friend about the earlier Jimmy Kimmel skirmish and he trotted out how Roseanne Barr was dismissed from her show on ABC because of her offensive tweet, and that according to informed sources (Barr herself), tha

For a picture of shells showing the numbers "86 47". We do have a problem with hate speech in society, but it's cruelly ironic to make his statement out to be such. Not being able to have contentious conversations based on re

If AMD's betting the company on their AI compute, they had best follow the advice in the article because the only way to compete with NVIDIA is to meet/exceed not just the performance but also the DevX.

Per a cursory question on the Goog I got: 95% of collections are now considered worthless. I worked at a blockchain startup back in the day and despite the PTSD of working with insane people, I appreciate the concept of the blockchain. I&#x

NFTs had no valid reasons to exist, other than to provide money laundering opportunities and to con rubes out of their cash. There's plenty to not like about crypto and at the top of that list is NFTs.

For some time I was a phone tech in the age of digital PBXs and phone systems were critical lifelines. It's changed so much now that a desk phone is an exception rather than the rule.

I'd think the moon would be the best primary target due to proximity and the ability to possibly use large rail guns to get finished goods up into orbit.

It does raise the question of the steps that happened to reach that functionality (not suggesting intelligent design here). I'd assume there'd be quanta of evolutionary evolvement but it isn't clear what that would look like

I think the value add of religion per the top comment is that it typically has a built in community and sense of connection. Churches bring people together in multiple ways. I write that as an atheist who is more isolated than I'd like

Should it matter if its vibecoded or not, if it works? If the performance is as claimed, and does not impact the quality of model evaluation it seems like it would be worth exploring. Disclaimer: I have a 3090 and would love to squeeze more
