I don't really have a strong opinion on the letter because I agree with a few of the comments that the cat is kind of out of the bag. Even if we don't reach AGI, however you want t…

If the price difference is justified, I can't argue with a refurb. Most of my purchases from Dell (mainly laptops, a couple monitors) in the past 10+ years have been refurbs from t…

I love that OpenAI uses a ton of other peoples work to train their model, yet when someone uses OpenAI to train their model, they get all up in arms. As far as I'm concerned, OpenA…

Scratch gets a lot of hate with semi-experienced programmers (the kind to browse this sub) because of its simplicity, but it's actually really good. It teaches you basic programmin…

How do you define "consistent"? Consistent with what? Because at the moment it looks like it's using completely other terminology than the VCS I am used to.

finally ESM. jesus. The internals are still CJS, but at least we can use it ESM.

I am personally doubtful. The problem with BABA is that it is a variable interest entity (VIE) listed in the Cayman Island that means shareholders are technically owners of shell c…

Apple supports them now. Everyone else has been doing it for years.

The charging issue and grid use is a massively overblown problem. You only need to charge your car for a few hours every 300 miles. Nowhere near everyone is always charging all the…

Wow, I've bookmarked the article for future reference, this is all very cool! I have been working in OpenGL recently on procedural meshes, particularly with L-Systems. My method fo…

I love how patient classical music fans are when people ask THE SAME QUESTION over and over and over again on forums as to why there’s a need for a separate classical music app. Yo…
