> the US can “sanction” companies that engage in intellectual property theft. Peak hypocrisy, US AI companies can train on unlimited intellectual property with 0 rights to it, whil…

I think you’re suffering from a false dichotomy. The average car capacity is 1.1 people per car, and 90%+ of the time, a normal individual is not hauling more than a backpack. Just…

I think it’s akin to a child growing up with technology, and therefore being able to operate with it at an intuitive level. These interns have never not used AI (in the industry), …

Kagi arguably “pauses” your subscription if you don’t use it in a month. They give you a credit at the end of the month that then applies to the next month, so that people aren’t c…

Weather data in prediction markets can definitely be gamed. One example that exists in real prediction markets is that the contract specifies a single source as the source of truth…

Your argument is against large generalizations and straw man arguments, and to prove it, you.. use a generalization and straw man argument?

Be like Discord, call it a “Quest”.

If you pay attention, your source has an asterisk of “typically” and “usually”, aswell as a distinction between phenotype and karyotype traits. While it is true that the majority o…

It seems they finally got past the “final final final” bugfix updates for 5.2. Been waiting for this for a year+ so it’s awesome to see it finally out.

What are the chances that, just like moltbook, the rankings are botted, meaning that not many people actually downloaded the skill. People are more likely to download more popular …

I’d be interested to see a satirical concept like this that goes more in depth by, say, having the operational semantics help fuel the satire. When I see things like this, I always…

I personally don’t like it intertwined with conversation, but I do think I like how it adds color to help emphasize certain information, outside of the text. A red X or a green che…

Yes, I have plenty of games from, e.g. the Epic Game Store on my steam deck, even in the steam home page, seamlessly. Gamescope is even fully open-source, so you could remove the s…

It’s interesting this is coming at the time when it’s also announced the licensing agreement between YouTube TV and Disney has ended. Perhaps they are bracing for an impact to reve…

> In all popular languages that support "sum types" we just call them "unions." When I was doing research on type theory in PL, there was an important distinction made between sum …

The word "clanker" is interesting to me in how it anthropomorphizes AI to the point that when I hear it, it makes me confuse it with a person. For a word that is supposed to be moc…

To clarify, the reason I say that the projects led me to offers was only because they helped lead to the process being started (I.e. led to a first interview). Indeed, other skills…

As a new grad in this job market who got 2 offers (1 FAANG), I heavily disagree. My projects (specifically my toy operating system) got me my offers. Projects are just about the on…

It is relevant because it wastes time and adds nothing of substance. An AI can only output as much information as was inputted into it. Using it to write a text then just makes it …

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really see the advantage myself for touch typing. My current style of typing already reaches me 110+wpm, and it feels natural without any wrist prob…

> Solving the challenge–which is valid for one week once passed– One thing that I've noticed recently with the Arch Wiki adding Anubis, is that this one week period doesn't magical…

Can you explain this quote, because it feels to me like it’s the exact opposite of what standard government practice would dictate? Everyone in a country with government gives up p…

I’m not sure if the amount of ads is different, but the quality of ads is definitely different. The ads on TV are “skippable” in the sense that you watch 2 minutes of ads, and then…

Having satellites orbiting the planet is more beneficial than just solving the first-world problem of “knowing where you are” or “having Internet”. NASA has done a large amount of …
