But outside the bible, who says we must be more and above replacement rates? Is such a tragedy for humanity if there are only 4 billion humans in 100 years? 4 happier billions? It doesn't HAVE to go up all the time, and between extinct

The history of humanity, I say of hominids even, was defined by humans playing it unsafe - migrating, sailing, inventing bombs, you name it. We played god before even we invented gods, and reached this point in time. Should we say "thi

Yay for European sovereign services! A bit through the backdoor, or as a side-effect if you want, but the result is the same. Or could be the same, if it continues like that.

And the installed system is, let me guess, the reptilians from their base in the inner Earth?

"après moi le déluge" - said every public sector purchase decision maker ever.

Which is exactly the point of the whole "sovereignty" debate: on one hand there's a lot of slop about "national interest" and "privacy" and "features" and such, and on the other hand management d

Okay to me "lawn" means one single type of grass kept down to 2cm height, constantly in need of watering and looking like carpet.

My garden has grass - wild flowers and wild grasses and I can walk in it. Even barefoot (not often, I'm a city boy unused to that). I sometimes walk just to pick up fruit from the couple trees here and there. I'm not even sure wha

Because climate is more important to me than pettiness.

I see stuff like Azure Container Applications like an easy introduction to the world of k8s. Sane defaults, looks managed but you can still get familiar with all the important concepts, and sooner or later you can move to a proper Kubernete

Are you sure, like really sure you mean gboard? In my gboard I choose the language I want to type in, and that's the language for everything (settings, typing, recommendations...).

And Swiss architecture - birthplace of Le Corbusier, and the very definition of dull gray chunks.

That part might be speculation, okay, so then let's add the number of people, European citizens, dying of overheating every year (lately at least). The history is history, while the current world is so much hotter. It doesn't matt

So it would need one model per language? Not impossible (for me)...

How about context. We have these not-so-new gadgets made by design to predict the next word, I mean those LLMs... a local tiny model should be able to beat those dumb GBoard predictions any time (and a note for Google: if GBoard uses alread

And anyway, there's no keyboard on earth who can handle multi-language typing in a sane way. They either mash all languages together, or force random layouts on you, or... I stuck with GBoard because I just hate it less than others, so

It's also this learned helplessness of the voters, a very useful tool for whoever wants to push their agenda. Have you noticed who the "anti-system" voters are actually voting for? They're voting exactly to increase bord

We have both Sean Young and Sean Bean. Black swans still exists and the pretraining cannot rely on assumptions - provided if you want answers, not hallucinations.

I cannot tell what about domain squatting, but I've seen a "why" in seemingly innocuous Facebook groups about baking or such, which at the right time slowly transitioned to fake AI pictures and stories, and then to straight-o

So the solution is... giving up? Let the technogods do whatever they please? Because we are not talking about storms and earthquakes, but about humans in power.

Provided you do have more than one candidate for the job - Streeting already said nah...

How would be the US now without Luigi Mangione? Would you have cheaper healthcare? Would Palantir or Flock disappear?

> the drop in fertility was most severe for teens You mean, there are less teen parents nowadays? That would count as improvement in my books...

The parent comment was about an accident where you're unable to give any details yourself. Maybe when you're under a truck you'd like your folks to know what happened to you, right? But again, such are implementation details.

Right, we actually agree on this. And where is regulation enforced? In courts. Who says the provider is liable? A court. This was my point: not locking your house means a lot of processing to get back to the place where you have been before

I also assume the "get better at parenting" folks have zero kids themselves, and likely (because HN) work directly with those technologies targeted by the governmental measures. But answering to their point, getting better at heal

You mean the people's rights to lure and attack my children? It's not a rhetorical question, it is exactly what is currently happening (and not only with children but okay).

I wish you good luck in court trying to get compensation for the damage you've got through a JS injection attack. Because people prefer to lock their valuables instead of constantly having to identify and sue thieves.

Zero trust device, with emergency channels pre-trusted. Like, the ambulance service is known to your device and can already suck your blood type and whatnot. And the police your name and emergency contacts. Or whatever schema with a similar

I cannot argue with a true Scotsman argument. Because it's not wrong, but also missing the point. And the point is, philosophy aside, most people you ask they will say they don't like AI. Some will use it, a few not, and most don&
