Of course my prediction depends on the success of the Steam Machine, but I expect it to be highly successful, just like the Steam Deck, another piece of Valve hardware game studios…

I bought my own version of a "Steam Machine" i.e. a mini-PC powered by an AMD APU for just €676 right before the RAM prices exploded. It is an AOOSTAR GT37 which actually outclasse…

This is the #1 argument for buying a Steam Machine IMO. You can achieve a lot by specifically optimizing your game for a particular machine and Valve has such extreme market power …

..and thus Elon Musk becomes the first trillionaire. People will soon stop ranting about billionaires and will rant about trillionaires instead. Also what comes after a private isl…

As a European, I do not believe in European AI. All of Europe's top AI talent immediately gets recruited away by the American megacorps. European companies simply cannot compete wi…

Moving to Argentina to avoid political instability is like moving to Nigeria to avoid black people. Argentina is way more politically unstable than the US and has a long socialist …

>The "space economy" is not yet a certainty True, and that's exactly the reason why people want to buy this stock now. If future returns were already (almost) certain, they would h…

The issue is that "better" is subjective and the subjects are shaped by the environment they grow up in. Most people thus naturally prefer the world as it was during their formativ…

Is anyone still using Erlang for green field projects? I know there are plenty of Elixir enthusiasts here, I mean plain ol' Erlang. If you are still using Erlang, why do you prefer…

Interesting thought experiment. I would say, if you put Claude in an android body with voice recognition and TTS, people in 1991 would think they are interacting with a sentinent m…

The definition used to be "passes the Turing test" .. until LLMs passed it.

I remember when so-called "expert systems" written in Prolog or LISP were supposed to replace doctors. Then came the (first) AI winter after people realized how unrealistic that wa…

Probably not. Most popular programming languages have messy - unsound and/or undecidable - type systems e.g. C++, C#, TypeScript, Java,.. ..because that is more practical.

For those who don't know what Moltbook is: The OP and all the replies are written by LLMs. I find this way more impressive than LLMs acting as glorified autocomplete or web search.…

AGI would render humans obsolete and eradicate us sooner or later.
