Yep - the "value" of a Turing-capable system has been questioned for a while now. We watched Markov chains and IRC bots clear the Turing test on a regular basis in the mid-2000s, and all we got out of that was better automated sca

It's a fair comparison. Stargate is fundamentally about two things - America's industry needs a cash injection, and we're choosing a completely hype-dominated vein to push the needle into. Problem is, the parent comment is

While we're complaining about entirely tangential and inconsequential papercuts, I resent the 5 seconds it takes me to install bbedit and git on Mac. Upvotes, please? I said software was bad - I expect to be showered with praise for my

This is cool, but something tells me the t/sec rate compared to native is still wildly off-base. How much less optimized is WebGPU compared to the current OpenCL/CUDA implementations?

They're accepting your definition of censorship to highlight how fucking stupid it is. Is Hacker News a censorship haven because I flagged the "How to have Sex with Cars" post uploaded yesterday? Am I a tyrant for trying to

Because you aren't being "censored" by billionaires at all. They have made the business decision to reduce the usefulness of their AI to prevent their liability from being legally, or even socially, held accountable. Again, c

There is no "legit crypto" - it's a myth. Every single exchange that swaps spit with the Bitcoin ledger is laundering money made by criminal (often violent or fraudulent) means. Many if not most altcoins are equally as fraudu

They are absolutely different flavors. OpenAI is not being told by the government to censor violence, sex or racism - they're being told that by their executives. News flash: household-name businesses aren't going to repeat slurs

Is "securing your backend" an option on the table? A simple VPN or network subnet might frustrate them and send them away, but if your product isn't secure that's a serious problem you should fix.

R1 is a rehash of things we've already seen, and a particularly neutered one at that. Are there any better examples you can think of?

A sheikh, a famously overzealous Japanese firm and Larry Elisson walk into a bar. Ordinarily a joke would follow, but now America is volunteering to be the punchline.

What's the matter, America? I thought you didn't want sideloading, because that is an evil scourge from Europe that has no tangible benefits or uses to an ordinary user. All of the sudden you wish you could choose which apps you c

WWII, sure. Cold War, fat chance - the USSR was defeated by the mujahideen and then succeeded by Yeltsin and a bald ape that killed 800,000 trained men to take 1/3rd of Ukraine.
