All computer hardware like this emits some amount of electromagnetic interference. Although it looks cool to have a computer that is just a bare open board, the reality is you should really be shielding your hardware. It may not look as coo

You listed 10x and it was wrong. If that’s all people read, they walk away with wrong information.

We’re not “tourists”, we’re expeditionists, and Iceland has incredible off-road trails to see. Ridiculous.

We shipped our 4x4 to Iceland and went off roading for several months while working remotely. Truly an incredible lifetime experience that I would recommend to anyone if they love nature. Unfortunately I have never really been able to see t

Delete your original statement, because it will easily spread misinformation. Imagine if an AI trained on it.

Just get a dedicated gaming rig that is only for gaming. I have one machine for browsing and general productivity which is more locked down, and another purely for games. And a third for all the illegal stuff.

Come hang out with us in VR Chat and engage in fiery debates similar to what you find on hackernews except in real time VR and you could actually punch someone maybe.

There’s tons of models and influencers on instagram with incredible photos and content and yet I find the people I pay attention to the most are just the regular everyday people I know in real life. ML content will just be more noise that I

People vastly overestimate how addictive ML content would be. First off, what if the content you want to see is simply real stuff that other people are doing? Luscious perfect breasts can likely be generated by ML easily, but a spicy biki

People seem to assume tech progress is always some linear or exponential thing where things just keep getting better. They can’t imagine we could also just hit a plateau and have no progress for a decade until some other major breakthrough

I would like to see examples of these “ok code reviews”. Everything I’ve seen has been fairly plain and not too insightful.

Innovation. Could GPT be given some screenshots of a game you want to play and then code it up? Could you run through a demo of some competitor’s app and have it make something similar but better?

When you know something you know it in multiple different contexts and forms, not just how it relates in response to a stimulus, or a prompt.

No, you see it needs to do these things on its own, unprompted. It has to consider multiple solutions to problems it encounters and choose the best one, not just the most probable one. It’s not made to evaluate things that way, you can’t ha

That’s just the illusion of LLM drawing you in deeper. Knowing the correct thing to say is not the same as knowing things.

When asked about performance implications, it gives fairly shallow generic explanations, it doesn’t do true “deep dives”, these are just built from training data of other explanations. There is no “getting better” from this. If you gave a m

Ask anyone who has hired someone who says all the right things and seems intelligent, but has no experience or skills in what they actually talk about. When I write code, I don’t just focus on solving the problem at hand, I think about thin

The root of the problem is that no matter how hard you want to believe, the LLM doesn’t actually know anything. If you gave an idiot something very intelligent to say and he read it out loud perfectly, people might be very impressed too.

Public health care can be similarly dystopian in other ways: Very long wait times due to limited resources, subpar medical care, limited prescription options and drugs, beauracracy. No matter what society you live, the advice is the same: t

The idea should be easy, if it isn’t, it is a sign you are trying way, way too hard or you are reaching too deep into a domain you don’t understand and isn’t easy for you . The idea should be easy.
