Look, the flow is stupid and broken, he's not complaining about typing the $0. I had the same issue. It's a gumroad thing I think. Again. It's stupid and broken. Not entitlement

It's not a straw man argument, it is the argument. An average user can't dive into the bluetooth driver code and figure out where in the 4000 page spec something deviates and is now a security issue. So we have to assume the wor

I used to save everything by default and over the years (~20) my storage requirements started getting out of hand. So I had a change in philosophy where I decided to throw everything into a "to delete" folder and start with a si

Also, a brain evolved to be a stable compute platform in body that finds itself in many different temperature and energy regimes. And the brain can withstand and recover from some pretty severe damage. So I'd suspect an intelligence th

This made me think.. I suspect someday AI will be able to just drop into a piece of commodity hardware and sort itself out and even compensate for shitty hardware a bit. For instance, if it can't control a hand properly, it'll jus

It's really telling how we're shaping our artificial helpers to not have a mouth, but eyes are alright. As if they're allowed to receive input but they should not bother us with any output! For me an ideal artificial helper w

Yup. And don't buy the line that Elon made Tesla a success. They had the core tech and talent to build an EV (without all the other bullshit he added) before he came along. Given enough time they could have been something on their own

You consider technological/economic dominance by Japan or China to be equivalent threat classes?

Enough to not be treated like I was. Sorry that's vague.

Yeah, as a litmus test of how much they care about their customers try to call in and get something done. Vanguard will throw you into an automated labyrinth with the only exit being a poorly-trained rep in india or pakistan that has no rea

I felt like I was having a stroke while reading your comment and had to scroll back up to realize it was a Trump quote. Makes sense now.

Similar to “Bullshit jobs” All the AI commercials are designed to appeal to people that don’t produce any actual value but haven’t been detected by the system yet. Need to send email to boss? Press magic button! Job well done, idiot. Someon

Cant wait for chatbots in the freezer doors nagging you. > Hey! Hey you! Based on your attire and general heath you appear to enjoy pizza rolls. Come here. Are there pizza rolls behind this door? > Pizza rolls are a great nutritious s

Really cool. I love that editing a note doesn't involve pop up modal windows, save buttons, focus selection and all the other crap that things like Notion and Trello end up relying on. You just edit the text. Perfect.

It's a red flag whenever I see an unclickable, unbrowsable, unverifiable "what people are saying" section. Even on the scammiest sites selling you trash on YouTube you'll see the same fake reviews. I immediately distrust

I’d bet Meta is counting all the random Instagram users that accidentally interact with the forced threads clickbait posts in their feed.

So the modes communication with built-in back doors for three-letter agencies were able to be monitored completely by an adversary whilst those designed with no known backdoor (iMessage) were not. Good to know.

Seeing products like this is just sad. On a personal level as someone who loves learning, it's sad to see that some people may only value using knowledge to just get to the next spot in life and not really understanding anything for it

I agree. The Bobiverse was really great. And Ray Porter’s narration was a perfect fit.

That's very interesting. Thanks for posting that.

Is the lack of asteroids between the Earth and Sun an artifact of our methods of detection? I'd imagine looking outward where light is shining on a surface would be easier to detect stuff than looking inward towards the sun at such a c

To be honest, the reason I mentioned it at all was because I do the same thing with the same word so it was as much of a comment for your benefit as it was for my benefit haha.

I think everywhere that you used “nonzero” you could have also not and it would have still made exactly the same point.

No shit, Gary. Every time I see this guy pop up is some bad take or argument with someone. What’s the deal with him?

So what happens in the far future when we send autonomous machines equipped with models trained on Earth life and structures to other planets, are they going to have a hard time detecting and measuring things? What happens when the model is
