Disappointed, I thought acid loops were fruit loops dipped in acid (303 µg a piece?). The sound is nice, though.

If 640 KiB of RAM was all anybody would ever need, what were they going to do with more than two hard disks?

+1. By now I've given up hope that software development will ever become a true engineering discipline, or even just somewhat close to it. Bungling it is so much cheaper and practically everyone seems to accept the current bad state

That would be safety-critical, so you had better not vibe code it.

If you don't guide the LLM, vibe coding is Russian roulette, no matter how good you think you are. If you look at the code, it's not vibe coding any more by its original definition. So vibe coding is only “good” for code that

Is Icelandic name declension deterministic enough that this method reliably works? That would be a lucky break. Language is typically quite messy.

“AGI” will be whatever state of the art we have at the time the money runs out. The investors will never admit that they built on sand but declare victory by any means necessary, even if it's hollow and meaningless.

To me it's just fascinating to see how much further you can pump up this hype bubble. My pop corn reserves need a refill.

Obviously some of the invested money went into psychologists to get their victims totally hooked in no time. These machines will be the end of social media as we know it. Why would you chat with people when a bot can flatter you so much b

Yea, if it were true, then Markov chains on steroids (LLMs) would be super at problem solving, but they can't even reason. And they get worse if you add random facts about cats: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=447

Is there any computer or internet company that the US IC doesn't treat as their own department? Maybe some very small and insignificant ones.

Trump already wins the golden sledgehammer price, and that's just six months into his term. Even if the sum total will only be eight times that, it will still be the most massive wreck fest the country has ever seen. Any enemy of the
