What about this is "AI"?

Don't forget to have the Official Social Media of the President of the United States(tm) installed, with an account following the correct list of truthtellers and rightthinkers.

Outer Wilds is a great work of sci-fi but it's not especially physically accurate. I really enjoyed playing it through with my son, and the ending made me weep. The end credits music still gets me a little when I hear it. Excellent

I wish the NPR news broadcasters on the radio yesterday had read the "it's good marketing so maybe don't believe it" angle instead of just parroting the OpenAI press release. Getting that message out would be enormously

You are assuming this thing is real and not just a web page.

Boston has a whole bunch of live and college ratio stations still.

A motion sensor activated light unpredictably turning off and on on my street would be worse than the steady street lamps we have now. It would be even more distracting and annoying.

The fact that I know what both Gleam and Tangled are in this context means I spend too much time on HN and not enough time doing useful things.

Why do you need an archive link for this?

The point about interaction with undo in a digital inking app is interesting. Seems like with ML handwriting recognition, we could create a handwriting "text editor" instead of a drawing app that understands the semantic structur

I don't see how "trust" is anthropomorphizing. Do I trust this bridge to hold my weight? Do I trust that this tool in my hand will perform as expected?

"Trust" - what level of review does the output need to meet your standards of correctness? Donald Knuth's code would be much more likely to meet my standards during a code review than some LLM output.

Set small achievable goals and hold yourself accountable.

Nice balanced perspective there at the end: "as such [LLM-coded interactive] supplements are not mission-critical to the core of the paper, I again feel that the downside risk of using guided interaction with LLM agents to generate suc

Use it to write and edit code when that makes sense for you to do so. Just like you always have. It's an extremely useful skill to have even still. I've had much more success with agents reviewing my code and offering inline aut

That might work if the software platform vendors kept compatibility with old versions, but they're quite poor at this. Windows used to be quite good at it, but Android and iOS are really bad at it, and macOS is not a lot better. Softw

It's not anywhere near hot enough to generate steam and make electricity. There are uses for low grade heat but they require colocation and careful design, which costs more than just dumping the heat.

Per the video description, this is a Lapp Knot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapp_knot , sadly not animated by Grog.

A reef knot (or square knot) cannot be adjusted or tied under load. When you tie the second crossing, the first one always loosens a bit. The lapp knot in the video can be tensioned properly after tying, which is pretty slick.

Keep the body shell, modernize the internals. I think they have already done so...

Wow there is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start. Widespread car usage has caused an enormous amount of harm. It has destroyed American cities, killed thousands of people directly, tens of thousands more with

Not sure where this icy, thunderstorm-prone city where it's either walk or drive with nothing in between is, but it's certainly pretty far outside my experience. From what I've observed, the vast majority of car trips in my c

"Stealing" as in having a public process for proposed street designs that you can't be bothered to attend. "There is never anybody in this bike lanes" you don't see them because they aren't stuck in traffi
