I think that there a two problems, that prevent optimistic sci-fi from being more prominent: 1. A good story needs a conflict and a struggle. "...and they lived happily ever after" is an ending of a story, you can't go anywhe

I think you should make it clear, that when you say "without AI" you mean AI-related content, because some people in the comments seem to think that this is about AI-generated content.

Kinda ironic, that a "stochastic parrot" from TFA probably wouldn't make such mistake :)

I'm very sorry to say it, but even reading LLM-slop is less tiresome, then reading yet another anti-AI slop article. It's a pretty low bar. I could find 10 anti-AI posts on HN and they all will contain points from a very narrow po

I think, both FF and chromium on Linux disable WebGPU by default. Of course, it depends on where exactly did you get it (what kind of default settings people that packaged it for your distro used). Just look up "<browser name> en

Years ago, long before the current "AI"/LLM-craze, I've heard someone saying that in the future programming will have less fixed, deterministic algorithms and more statistical/ML algorithms, because even in the case

Just an observation, I didn't mean to say that it is bad. It's a bit grating, if you are not used to it, but there are no real harm to it, when an actual number is just one Wikipedia search or one Google search or, sigh , one cha

I've read a theory somewhere (too lazy to find the source, sorry), that people tend to care more about a cause that they have already donated to. Possible explanation is trying to avoid wasting money: "if I already spent money on

Pluto orbits center of combined masses of itself and Charon, which does not lie within either of them. Also, they are both tidally locked to each other, just like Moon is tidally locked to Earth.
