Yeah buddy, asking for a backdoor to all my private files on iCloud is just a noble attempt to protect children. What else are you selling?

“Imagine a future where a handful of people can conduct scientific research and engineering tasks much more rapidly, and with higher quality, than massive teams of scientists and e…

From the self-stated bios, this group consists solely of CS guys. No biologist, physicist, linguist, chemist, biophysicist to be found. Based on this observation alone I call nonse…

I imagine elements in the Taiwanese govt are pushing a massive drone network to turn the nation into a porcupine.

You find NIMBYs on Hacker News as well unfortunately.

I’ve sat through enough city public hearings to know what the author claims isn’t true. People don’t care if the building is gorgeous; they will still oppose it simply because they…

I don’t know why the difference. But if noise is a problem I would suggest buying different nib types and experimenting with those. Amazon has a wide selection, including rubberize…

Pro Tip: In addition to the Paperlike protector, one can buy a range of different nib types from Amazon and experiment to find a one that suits you best.

Across a decade, I’ve used a Paperlike on five different iPads ranging from the iPad Mini, standard iPad, iPad Pro, both Gen 1 and Gen 2 Apple Pencils plus other styluses and never…

Would it make economic sense to strip it down and sell for parts? That’s how it’s done now for older data centers, where the obsolete equipment is sent off to China, stripped down …

How did you do this? The in-house setting will revert back to new reddit.

Because it’s AI, man.

Get one of these: https://www.andar.com/products/the-helm?variant=397924980491... Pricey, but the lip covers the edge. My current one is 4 years old and lasted a couple of generati…

The fish rots from the head. It’s Zuckerberg.

This and and other thing like Zuckerberg’s desire to integrate facial recognition into Meta’s Ray-ban glasses puts him in squarely in the lead for world’s creepiest human. https://…

Even for logged in users, it keeps reverting back to the new reddit no matter how many times one update the setting in preferences. It’s a user hostile shitshow.

No I am not. The discussion is about investment spending on AI. It’s actual less than $2T IIRC, which makes my point even more.

Calls to mind a quote attributed to Cardinal Richelieu, 16th century Secretary of State for France: ‘If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will …

For context, the US alone spends annually a bit more than $2T on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That money is widely dispersed both geographically and socioeconomically. …

Rest assured, this will likely come with no small amount of grift. The Trump administration has already installed political appointees in America’s federal R&D organizations includ…

I can’t decide if you’re ignorant or duplicitous. Go read up on zoning and educate yourself. I don’t have the time to debunk all this nonsense. For instance, it is not generally le…

At the local level. And yes, these local zoning laws are strikingly similar in their opposition to multi-story residential.

American zoning forbids taller ~6 story residential building and trades open green space parks for shorter, 1-2 story buildings. The lower density means people are further away fro…

The take home message: “While modern AI models have expressed some capabilities in certain fields such as coding, cybersecurity research, language translation, etc, no AI model is …

“Anyone with common sense understands that the nation of the USA is/was a place with a specific culture and genetic makeup” This is genuinely racist. You are a vile human being. Re…
