    Russian credibility is at ~zero IMO. They've put forth so many insane theories related to this war that they started. And just on first principles, how stupid would the Ukrainian h…

    And what's your solution to mass unemployment due to AI? If you play this out, UBI or some near variant is inevitable.

    > A great achievement of European science and technology (ducks). It's a fantastic machine but the bulk of the achievement is clearly a joint European-American effort.

    I am not at all a security expert, but isn't this akin to giving a repo-owner RCE if you just clone their repository and open it? I feel like that's not an implied contract for ope…

    Lol the word guzzle in this context is just objectively spin. It's fine, especially because it's so transparent, but it only takes reading 4 words to know the position of the artic…

    This seems like a crazy position to me. In what world is someone with connectivity not significantly safer in remote areas? Obviously doesn't help with immediately fatal scenarios …

    I wouldn't stop driving my Tesla if they swapped the UI for Carplay but I'd be incredibly disappointed at the downgrade

    I'm a certified Superpowers hater. It's just not necessary with the modern models and fills up the context windows with garbage and adds an insane number of turns for no benefit. I…

    I think the "prove a negative" idea is a bit silly, my common sense says that the patent system should work better so if it doesn't, somebody's going to have to extensively prove i…

    Tbf, I recall the official guidance being a complete mess for a period. I recall feeling satisfied at not wearing a mask to comply with official guidance for a (short) period. Then…

    I just heard it for the first time but why is that ironic? Isn't the point about feeling and not age?

    I think the primary reason why our reality has quickly surpassed a bulk of earlier sci-fi is that sci-fi starts to become less interesting on average as AIs/robots start to dominat…

    Bayes Theorem...the chances this rather milquetoast and balanced analysis was written by someone with no knowledge is vanishingly low IMO.

    I mean, AlphaZero et Al start from zero. I learned writing my own code except for documentation and some textbooks.

    This seems kind of insane though, every time I go to Rio I think of the potential of AI/technology to solve some problems and leave it even more paradisiacal... But working on thei…

    I'm pretty optimistic. I think it's a threshold question where we need a number of basic technologies to all get over certain bars before the floodgates start to open. Over the pas…

    OP living in Switzerland is a comically poor messenger for this though. I follow a few accounts on Instagram of people that are good messengers in relatively boring places. A Japan…

    "has no real future"? I.e. not a net-productive member of society? Fun fact, machines are taking everything over, so you and any "healthy children" may be in that same camp very so…

    Exactly. I think it's funny / telling that my team analyzed Conventional Commits and came to the exact same conclusion the author did. Scope might not be important to every project…

    You can't justify $200/month in spending to your boss? Many people charge more than that per single billable hour. I would put your salary side by side with that number, which is y…

    This story actually checks out, which is quite the condemnation of our American drug development system. One thing bugs me though - why don't other countries with different researc…

    There was practically no responsibility taken by the author, all blame on others. It was kind of shocking to read. Anyone using these tools should absolutely know these risks and e…

    That should be buried, I agree 100% with their headline and structure over yours. For comparison, if the amateur did it by hand but the result was sloppy to read, would you prefer …
