Yes, it was a criminal offense since 1961 (I didn't hear about a special law for gypsies but it could be). So there were homeless and unemployed, but only those who really wanted t…

It was far from utopia but it wasn't orwellian. It was different in a way that's hard to explain if you didn't experience it. The lack of public goods, lower living standards, and …

No, it actually continues running headless on the host, and you can reconnect from another laptop or mobile phone, or even ssh to the host and attach to the session. At least Codex…

Sorry, it was more of a "shower thought" than a serious statement. The borders are blurry. Maybe it is alive. Maybe everything is alive. Maybe it is all relative. Humans classify a…

It comes down to "what stays the same when all its atoms are replaced" and "how can we tell it is the same entity and not just an identical but different one". I think the answers …

Because of compound efficiency and technological enablement. Or, risking to beat the metaphor to death, because over a span of time I'll cross many more deserts than I would have o…

It is simple. Continuing your metaphor, I have a choice of getting exactly where I want on a camel in 3 days, or getting to a random location somewhere on the other side of the des…

Okay, I'm gonna shoot myself, "ensloped" it is. "I find your email deeply ensloping." "This marketing campaign is going to enslope a lot of people." "Feeling ensloped, I closed Ins…

There needs to be a word for the feeling of sudden realization that you're reading an AI-generated text (or watching an AI-generated video) where you expected it to be human-author…

Yeah, strong crypto bubble vibes. Everyone is building tools for tool builders to make it easier to build even more tools. Endless infrastructure all the way down, no real use case…

You may want to check out https://purelymail.com who are pretty close to your target pricing. I've been using them since forever and have no reasons to switch but it is always grea…

Holy... That just unlocked a memory. When I was a 10 y.o. kid and a member of Young Pioneers organization in the late Soviet Union, we had a routine elderly care assignment. There …

Thanks for working on this! Language learning really needs a breakthrough. Now, I tried the web app and chose to learn Greek as a beginner. And while I had better experience with y…

I don't buy it makes me dumber. It just makes me worse at some things I used to do before, while making better at some other things. Often times it doesn't feel like coding anymore…

My take is that AI's ability to generate new code will prove so valuable, it will not matter if it is bad at changing existing code. And that the engineers of the distant future (l…

For humanity? It is the same reason most of us don't grow our food or make our shoes. Specialization makes a lot of sense. Western tech wouldn't have been able to grow as fast if e…

My guess is this is an artifact of the RLHF part of the training. Answers like "I don't know" or "let me think and let's catch on this next week" are flagged down by human testers,…

> But that doesn't scale at all. It doesn't scale if performed by a human. But what if... we employ AI to conduct the voice exams?

Western media has full control over information and if Ukrainians would do something like this, no one would even know. There were multiple cases of Ukrainians doing something evil…

Well, it really tells you haven't tried buying drugs on Telegram. It is all scammers, every single one of them (maybe with the exception for prostitutes but I bet most of these are…

"Find me a dealer close by" is a sure way to get scammed. I'm not saying you cannot buy drugs on Telegram, just not via the location search.

Oh, I am not a settler, I was born in Sevastopol and lived here most of my life, as most people I know. It is hard to be sure, but I'd say, only about 10% of the current population…

In the unlikely event of retaking Crimea, Ukraine is going to prosecute collaborators, cancel _all_ property deals after 2014, and expel Russian citizens who never had Ukrainian ci…

Well, I don't know what to say really. I have no idea how this all ends, and I fear it is far from over yet. I don't support Ukraine in this conflict for different reasons, one of …
