Maybe I'm just naive but I don't really understand discontinuing things like this. Like, unless there are like 100 people using this, how can it not be possible to just leave this running at like 0.5% of its former capacity. Just

What is the most reliable place for ROMs these days? Is there any sort of checksum that can accompany them to ensure safety? While I trust Dolphin, I don't trust most ROMs.

I tinkered with an alternative to stream interfaces: https://github.com/ralusek/streamie allows you to do things like infiniteRecords .map(item => doSomeAsyncThing(item), { concurrency: 5 }); And then b

Has AI transformed the economy radically? Yes. Will it continue to transform the economy radically? Yes. Will that translate to the model-makers somehow capturing the entire value of the transformed economy? No. There were a few key moments

Disagree completely. Judgement of the sort you're describing should be done at the legislative phase (i.e. writing code). Inconsistent execution/application of the law is how bias happens. If a judgement done to the letter of the

I think Gemini is an excellent model, it's just not a particularly great agent. One of the reasons is that its code output is often structured in a way that looks like it's answering a question, rather than generating production c

This doesn’t make sense. It’s either written by a person or the AI larping, because it is saying things that would be impossible to know. i.e. that it could reach for poetic language with ease because it was just trained on it; it it’s runn

I mean at the very least if their clients can read it then they can at least read it through their clients, right? And if their clients can read it’ll be because of some private key stored on the client device that they must be able to acce

Why would you want an LLM to identify plants and animals? Well, they're often better than bespoke image classification models at doing just that. Why would you want a language model to help diagnose a medical condition? It would not su

I feel like algorithmic/architectural breakthroughs are still the area that will show the most wins. The thing is that insights/breakthroughs of that sort that tend to be highly portable. As Meta showed, you can just pay people 10

> Absolutely nothing about free software requires or even implies any responsibility to “give back” You're correct about that. The free software itself doesn't confer any responsibility. But the free software exists inside othe

Going to war with AI is pointless. It’s not going anywhere. Acknowledging that the world has already been turned upside down however, rather than burying our head in the sand (present company excluded), is necessary.

It genuinely makes me see the value in private companies. Public companies must grow. They're accountable to so many different interests. Private companies can be happy sitting at whatever profit level they want. They can take time t

Comments are kind of embarrassing how many people seem to derive a sense of identity from not using AI. Before LLMs, I didn’t use them to code. Then there were LLMs, and I used them a little to code. Then they got better at code, and now I

It's a bit odd to say, but another big clue identifying something as AI-generated is that it simply looks "too good" for what it is being used for. If I see a little info graphic demonstrating something relatively mundane, an

It appears to be a law that is simply adding restrictions to what the state can do (like the first amendment, the best sorts of laws IMO). It’s not granting people limited rights. Any existing rights people had under the fourth or first e

I think that Thiel would actually like this. Both because it's progress in the "world of atoms," as he says, but also because it's "blood boy" adjacent.
