    I mostly agree, except for the Messiah part. I think the optimistic excited people are thinking more 'What a time to be alive' than 'All praise be, for they have come' Which is not…

    Are there any recognised examples of psychosis that has been caused by AI rather than being involved in a manifestation of psychosis caused by an already known type of mental illne…

    Prioritising is when you choose something over another. A drag racer prioritises time to travel a quarter mile. Going for the Pareto is when you elect not to prioritise. It is expl…

    Almost the complete opposite of prioritisation. The Pareto points are where you sacrifice the least of anything to get the most of everything. There's the saying about buying compu…

    I think you would be incorrect. While AI could not write what what I have so far on its own. Neither could I.

    If it performs the overall function but the code is a mess, then you can ask the model to describe parts of it, the structures and what the structures are for. When it shows you so…

    I think I could tolerate 50 Shades of grey rendered in this style.

    It's about a million tokens a week. So you can do the usual calculations of rent Vs buy. There are definitely some tasks, that if the system can run unsupervised (a largeish if), i…

    I used to use Matrix. Its user experience was sub par, but in the end it rendered itself unusable to me before I had decided to abandon it of my own volition. As far as I can tell …

    A friend of mine had a really good technique with parenting. He taught his kids the saying 'Funny once'. Children can come up with something that is quite amusing, especially if th…

    I think a lot has been lost by an overfocus on chasing a unified look and feel for User interfaces. Standardising the user interface allows applications that have no design to shar…

    I am unable to afford the attention at the moment to assess this argument, that's to its credit. They demonstrate that they are aware of the implications of the varying description…

    PIO to PIO between two rp2350s should be able to transfer as many bits per clock as you can spare pins for. They have a single cycle double multiply per core, and the interpolators…

    One of the things I have been wanting to try for a while now is something like this with a layer per MCU. I have some crazy ideas with RP2350's talking to each other with dedicated…

    I think their own community can make their own rules. My only thought in doing so the description of what they represent would then be subject to those rules. They state "The missi…
