Most people don’t know they’re acting as a residential proxy, lots of devices and apps and free tools install spyware which often includes a proxy script. It’s a really shady market.

I mean Einstein had help, he was networked with the best scientific minds of the planet and his discoveries were grounded in experimental results that contradicted existing theories (at least for specialized relativity), and without Riemann

Terrible AI written article, utter garbage.

It’s just way cheaper, make a concrete ceiling, slap some insulation and proofing on top, done.

by throwaway63467 2mo ago
In theory no, depends on how it’s done. It’s mostly a concrete ceiling with Bitumen and another polyethylene based layer on top normally, requires renewal every 30-50 years but it will stay tight if done right, at least it’s not much worse

Most new single home construction in Germany is in the form of cubes with flat roofs, absolutely ugly and will look like crap in 30-50 years (for me it looks like crap now already), see e.g. [1]. Insanity but for the builder it makes sense

Great move by Microsoft to spur Linux adoption by making Windows 11 installable only on the “latest and greatest” hardware. I have a T460p which is still perfectly fine for most office use and gaming and has 32 GB of RAM, a TPM 2.0 and a qu

The Internet in the early 2000s felt a little more special as compared to today, when 99.999 % of content is locked in a handful of walled gardens. I mean sure everything we had then is still possible but let’s be honest everything about th

I think most LLM work will migrate to open weight models in a couple of years for this exact reason (as well as price), unless the big providers manage to have their way and the market gets regulated in a way that favors closed source model

They might just merge with OpenAI. Right now it seems they are still working out who might come out on top but they are both burning tons of money and essentially offer the exact same product up to some minor differences, economically it ma

Isn’t Apple potentially under a lot of pressure due to the DRAM prices as well as having to compete with AI for fab capacity? Before all the price hikes their products were already priced at the top of the market so I would assume that memo

Good. The amount of people I see looking at their smartphone while driving, completely oblivious to what’s happening on the road is concerning. I don’t see why that footage needs to be transferred anywhere and GDPR should ensure it won’t be

I think now a console like the Ouya could really be successful, I find when they tried this 10 years ago it was the worst moment possible as game hardware was cheap and competition strong. Now with the AI boom eating all hardware capacity a

Probably they think you’re using a personal account for your company, they don’t want that as they heavily (?) subsidize personal usage.

Such a weird way of thinking, we achieved so many technological breakthroughs that can benefit everyone, why should anyone fall behind? Worldwide we see the opposite i.e. the world is converging more and more. And even so I don’t care, you

For most consumers AI will be a net negative. Already I can tell more and more companies use it in their call centers and support workflows, often just to stonewall customers: they reply very politely and with great attention to detail but

Interesting, always found it would be cool to have this stuff integrated e.g. into server hardware for specialized AI services

Which chips are these? It seems the main challenge is data bus speed and memory capacity now and it seems no one can really compete with NVIDIA now? And i doubt NVIDIA is still optimizing for anything expect LLMs/AI, their last keynote

You assume there are enough of these jobs to go around and that you can just show up and do some extremely intricate work. Repairing historic doors and more elaborate woodworking isn’t easy to learn as the knowledge mostly doesn’t exist onl

I think so too I’m just worried about how unequally these gains will be distributed, for myself I am quite pessimistic thinking that all these gains will not benefit my life, if at all it will move the needle more towards making my expertis

I don’t say AI is sentient but what do you expect out brain to do in the end, it’s likely just some matrix operations and integration and other stuff arranged in a very intricate way.
52.
by throwaway63467 4mo ago
Why would you doubt that you’re sentient? Your world model includes yourself and you can reason about yourself as part of the world so why should the ability of an AI model being able to also do that change your opinion on that? Don’t get w

I think they overtrained on scientific papers or such as it would spout really sophisticated sounding nonsense with a ton of complicated verbs and adjectives. 4.6 was definitely better in that regard. The more I use these tools the more I t

It’s been like that for a while, economic gains went to a small fraction of people, before software developers were among those that were on the winning side, now they’re on the losing side. Think about how much the US economy is growing ri

Most software is just there to get the job done. I’m building compliance tools that most users would very much like to never use as they’re just adding overheard over what they consider real work. You can still strive to make the software i

The “requests” package gets downloaded one billion times every month, should that be a multi billion dollar VC company as well? It’s a package manager and other neat tooling, it’s great but it’s hardly the essence of what makes Python aweso

It’s a small tool shop building a tiny part of the Python ecosystem, let’s not overstate their importance. They burned through their VC money and needed an exit and CLI tool chains are hyped now for LLMs, but this mostly sounds like an acqu

I‘m running opus 4.5 which is arguably their best model and while it’s really good for a lot of work it always introduces subtle errors or inconsistencies when left unsupervised as prompts are never good enough to remove all ambiguity for c

Is there much you can do with it? Does it still work as before, does it still have a GUI? Sounds really cool.
