Describe reality. Make an effort to separate your aesthetic judgements from your observations.

When people say or hear "manipulation", it usually implies deception: someone is tricking someone else into a position that's against the former's goals and interests. It's possible to communicate without manipulati

Don't just dream. We can choose to use the ISP that says "yes", or at least a less firm "no". We can vote with our wallets to create a market opening for the ISP that says "yes".

Monetization models that intentionally create scarcity are scummy, including the one proposed in the article. The existing intellectual property economy is scummy. But we can fix this. Imagine a future where: The Internet rewards passionate

They're not trying to trick you. In fact when they were measuring perf/watt, the Lunar Lake chip was disadvantaged against the Apple M-series because they had to run the SPEC 2017 tests on Ubuntu for the Lunar Lake chip, which has

I suspect the throttling behavior has to more do with the power settings used during testing or OEM tuning on specific models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymoiWv9BF7Q In this video, they show the perf/watt curves a

Pardon my loose choice of words regarding the Mac-like efficiency. I was referring to the fact that the battery life is comparable to the M3 in day-to-day use, as demonstrated at around the 5:00 mark in the third video I linked. In the same

If you look the battery life benchmarks they did at around the 5:00 mark in the third video, you can see that it achieves similar battery life compared to the an M3 Macbook in typical day-to-day use. This reflects the experience most users

The article may be philosophically ignorant, but there's still value in the findings here. It answers the question in a limited sense: if materialism is ultimately true, then your blue is approximately my blue because the physical brai

I'm not an expert on the topic and don't really know the difference. But in the video they say it can finetune power delivery to individual parts of the SoC and reduce idle power.

It's not the ISA. Modern Macbooks are power-efficient because they have: - RAM on package - PMIC power delivery - Better power management by OS Geekerwan investigated this a while ago, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch

They control the guns, so you can't fight back with bullets. They control the airwaves, so you can't fight back with ideas. You're running out of options. The next step is to control your mind.

Indeed. I want to see how it was derived historically along with the experiments that validated each step of the way.

Social media is bad. But why? Misaligned corporate incentives? State-backed influence campaigns? Unenlightened masses? Notice how banning social media solves none of these problems. It just makes us blind to the problems and unable to speak

There is immense value in the ability to share realtime events with the rest of the world. If the curation algorithm is the problem, then the solution should target only that, not "BLOW IT ALL UP". There are a few ways: 1) We can

It's much easier to implement user-configurable client-side filters at the application and OS level than censor the entire Internet. But of course that's not what it's about. Online age verification and content moderation was

This is precisely why chain of thought worked. Written thoughts in plain English is a much higher SNR encoding of the human brain's inner workings than random pages scraped from Amazon. We just want the model to recover the brain, not

To be fair, GPT-5 didn't start off as a blank slate. The architecture probably encodes a lot, much like how DNA encodes a lot. The former requires human writing to decompress into a human-like thing, the latter requires the Earth envir

Materialism is indeed on shaky ground, but the ground shakes everywhere else, too. The problem of consciousness has no real solution. A quick way to demonstrate this is via the simulation hypothesis. Consider the following for yourself in f

People want different things. Even if two perfectly rational people agree on a shared model of reality, they still might not agree on what actions to take as a matter of aesthetic preference. That said, it's true that few are rational

You're doing the exact thing that makes up what the fuss is about: arguing over what is "real" without defining what "real" means. Let's all take a minute to ask ourselves what we mean by "real" ever

There is an M-series competitor from Intel that was released last year, codename Lunar Lake. Here's a video about it. Skip to 4:55 for battery life benchmarks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymoiWv9BF7Q
