FreeBSD already has Linux ABI compatibility and has for a long time. I have to say the GPL trolling in this post is some of the worst I've ever seen on HN. Literally 99% of the comments GPL trolls coming in and thread shitting everywhe

So if you put this hypothetical license on spam emails, then spam filters can't train to recognize them? I'm sure ad companies would LOVE it.

Probably China is building useful robots, not gimmicky "humanoid" ones. For any given task or set of tasks I'm very sure there are vastly better robot designs than mimicking a human.

Even the very people driving the AI rush are implicitly showing that they are skeptical: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy7vrd8k4eo Personally, I think everyone has realized there is a huge bubble, especially

Probably a wasm port of tesseract. E.g https://robertknight.github.io/tesseract-wasm/ Note that I haven't tried any of them, but tesseract is still likely the leading open source OCR that works with CPU.

But you don't run iOS on desktop computers. If MacOS went locked down like iOS people would throw fits.

I so wish it was possible to make paste unstyled the default. 99% of the time I want paste unstyled, not paste styled.

Just make it configurable. It's not that hard. The only thing I want to hear less about than light vs dark, tabs vs spaces, is the dripping condescension of morning people. Make it configurable and let people be.

It's certainly wrong on some things. For example, claiming that there are no examples of positive uses of LLMs is flat out wrong. I'm generally on the very conservative side when it comes to AI hype but even I'll admit it wil

I try not to buy from US companies these days, but Kagi is really so good that I make an exception here, despite the US government getting some of my money.

Yes they send fire here in Toronto too. They frequently beat the ambulance. And yes they prioritize heart issue above all else too.

Millions of people died from covid. It's not the flu. Vaccines don't just "maybe" reduce the impact, they DO reduce the impact. It's extremely well documented. Even now, with the milder strains of covid that are com

These are in fact the options. "I'm special" is common but wrong thinking. These likelihood numbers apply to you too. If you want to gamble that you'll get few side effects from covid, then great news your odds of gettin

The covid vaccine was not given to young adults nor children until much later iterations of the vaccine were available, and were specifically reduced in potency for that age group. If you recall, the initial strains of covid for the elderly

The media was fine on the covid shots and if you're not taking them then you're doing yourself and your family harm. Yes, there are side effects. Those side effects are far far milder than the actual illness, which you are pretty

Yup. Same, though I've actually decided to only buy stuff that supports home assistant. I shouldn't have to depend on a corporate server at all, and especially shouldn't have to call out to an internet site just to control so

They were still there pretty recently when I was there. All escalators are a pain for maintenance though. Sure it's cheaper to force people to walk but that's not the point.

I don't think there is any math showing that it's the models size that limits "fact" storage, to the extent these models store facts. And model size definitely does not change the fact that all LLMs will write things bas

Reading a book is being productive. You can also write, work, or nap. In contrast driving is the biggest waste of time in a persons life. I feel so strongly about this that I’d accept a vastly smaller house just to minimize time travelling.

There is absolutely nothing less pleasing than sitting in traffic in a major North American city with aggressive drivers all around you constantly breaking laws because they think they are more important than everyone else. In contrast Euro

Pearson airport in Toronto has ones that accelerate up to a fast speed. People who can’t use them can either walk beside them or hire a small electric golf cart. There is no reason to ban them just because a small portion of the population

The silence from the west on what's going on in Sudan is deafening. It's a completely fair question to ask why, when people are so vocal for Palestine? Why not Sudan? Throwing out "whataboutism" every time someone dares

I think there are a lot of people like me who use it occasionally and won't bother with AI nor a subscription. To me this is a bad sign, as free is unsustainable. It's only a matter of time before they look at their metrics and re

What? iOS has had "proper adblockers" for years now. It's literally why I switched to iOS. Android was forcing ads in all sorts of places, and forcing things into webviews that had no adblocking. Being able to install adblock

LG tvs have ads now. In fact, there are no TVs that are ad free at all anymore. At least keeping them unplugged from the internet usually prevents the ads… for now. True dystopia.

Much of the neural network work was funded by Canadian Universities, and commercialized by US companies. Even if you look just at the "Attention is all you need" paper, which is primarily by authors working at Google, most of thos

Putting the source in Github indexes it, as well as probably any github competitor. Hell, if you're not careful even things like Mac's spotlight might index it. Any web search engine will also index it.

You probably can't even index it, depending on how you interpret AI. Any vector based system, or probably even tf-idf, could qualify as machine learning and thus AI.

You can also correctly bias your sampling so that when selecting new training instances each language is chosen equally. Generally the diversity of data is good, unless that data is "wrong" which, ironically, is probably most of t
