Definitely agree with LLM texts being boring and lacking personality. Which for technical text is fine, but devastating for fiction. I wonder if you could coax it into writing less…

I'm not convinced this is true in any sense at all anymore. Can you name a piece of hardware that isn't supported by Linux? I was gonna suggest maybe the surface tablets, but a qui…

It's even Carolus rex paludis! Not sure if fable is a history buff or a Sabaton fan, but I repeat myself.

As one of the Devs responsible for the technical part of that transition: thank you. We tried real hard to give users the best possible experience, but I think it has nevertheless …

Or perhaps all of your thousands of children being in peril, having found themselves on a murderous human, with no obvious path to escape as the gigantic scary human swaths hundred…

But that's just the thing with open weights: you're not doing any business with company that made the model. They might publish the weights to a, say, European host, and then you d…

Oh... Then...I don't think I understood what your point was.. How is running a inference business similar to sports betting, but specifically placing bets, not running a successful…

And it is? Look at kindred group for example, they made >700 million GBP last year. seems viable enough to me!

Citing a study published in '25, and thus conducted before that, basically before AI got good. Yeah this article is safe to ignore

Agreed! I find AI to be pretty decent at documenting and explaining technical stuff, which is a subgenre of non-fiction. I once tried telling it to write a fantasy novel for me bec…

Vibecoding a SVG based metroidvania as we speak! This is gonna be lit!

Building the indexer is the easy part. The hard part is indexing the vast seas of the web. You need a large pile of cash to do that. One of those cases where running the software i…

Welp, that's one less competitor in the AI race I guess!

Are we really complaining that good people make money now? Is poverty a requirement for being a good person? Sounds like thinly veiled self-righteous jealousy to me...

I'm good with starting from 0 if the bank is (my mortgage is a lot bigger than my balance)

Wait would that work? My understanding was that the pollen had to come from a different genome of pawpaw for it to work... But perhaps I'm mistaken?

Seems that the direction of causation is still an open question. Is TV watching causing smaller brains, or is it the other way around? Intuitively both seem plausible. More researc…

Well, no, but it prevents fraud, which seems to be the bigger problem. A honest dominant force is better than a fraudulent dominant force.

In Europe we've used regulations. There's standardised ways to measure area of an apartment/house, and it has to be included in any ads and contract of sale/rent. If the actual are…

I like how our very own Bobby Tables is ranking near the top in several categories! Go Bobby!

Today I learned the Nordic larp style is not the global default. As a Swede who's only ever participated in 2 larps,I hadn't realised people do it differently elsewhere! I really d…

Is fast fashion not a thing in the US? I was under the impression it was, but perhaps I was wrong...

The steam machine handily beats apple in terms of dollar per TFLOP and dollar per GB memory. It's also easier to upgrade, making it likely to last longer. Unified memory puts Apple…

Wow the animation makes it really look like an asshole!

Agreed. Half the thickness and ~2x the screen size and it would've been an instant buy. 2x the screen size and same thickness and I'd have to think about it. As is I'll keep my eye…
