The link the site points to seems like a better source (no ads, cites DOI etc, affiliated with AAAS rather than random aggregator website): https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases…

The meaning of "practical use" is all about context - who/when/where/why/what - and so it would be kind of hard to definitely claim, in an intellectually honest way, that a piece o…

LLMs are obsessed with hidden, never seen before goblins - I suspect this is why this story has been doing so well. https://openai.com/index/where-the-goblins-came-from/

You can build software fast, but the more time you take the more you can be confident about it being correct. This was true already before AI code generation, but AI code generatio…

In 5-10 years an Apple Watch will run a Fable level model locally. I don’t think we (hackers) should worry too much about token cost inflation. The current wave of providers, that’…

Can you share studies that show they’re “identical”? You’re not going to overdose from using your phone too much, or die from withdrawal if you suddenly stop using your phone, so t…

32x memory isn't that big of a jump if you go from storing a bunch of low res, low color count textures to a bunch of high res, high color count ones. I don't know if that's what's…

No, because the premise resides in the fact that human care and creativity is what makes the value. There is a mountain of human care and creativity to draw from; and nothing wrong…

I have a 8GB M1 that still worked great, until macOS 26 severely degraded its performance. Thankfully the macOS 27 beta somewhat improved things (although Xcode is more of a slog t…

I derive lots of value from Little Snitch on my Mac, so this approach is more effective than not having anything. And yes, having the ability to deny any app network access on iOS …

Better yet, a tool like Little Snitch should be built into the OS. Give me a detailed log of every network requests, to which domains, with what data.

> society at large will benefit from the infrastructure Data centers as infrastructure are very different from DSL rollout though. Much, much more expensive to maintain, with a muc…

> I think every one of those animations are system-supplied ones. Some are likely SwiftUI ones Yes, this is a major factor for the regression in overall UI quality and consistency …

Rewrite in Swift

A bit fallacious because if you've been supporting the proper size classes API and not hardcoding assumptions about windows/orientation/etc. (as Apple has been telling you to do ev…

Yes, those tools are extremely good at reverse engineering. With a bit of know how, it is now trivial to reverse engineer any protocol or crack any software, often in a matter of h…

If your definition of machine is "purely physical object behaving according to rules"[0], then one could argue that everything in the universe is a machine, which is not a very use…

We are talking about physical replication, please let me know when a computer worm can turn my laptop into 2 laptops Otherwise you’re just arguing that Sims are totally alive becau…

Yes again, ribosomes have nothing in common with machines, that are built and designed by humans. The ball is in your camp to provide solid reasons to believe why they should be gr…

> Do you disagree with the assumption that cells are machines? Yes? Literally no machine ever built by humans is capable of (or even hinting at beginnings of capability for) replic…

> Who could have known that people wanted quality AND affordability? If you have spent any time in those gigantic corporations, you know that there is effectively no one there who …

Before: - programmers spend time in meetings discussing requirements - programmers spend time thinking how to improve performance and reliability - programmers spend time tracking …

That’s just the nature of these industries. 1) Incumbent is slow, clunky, unpleasant to deal with due to years of accumulated constraints to deal with 2) Newcomer can differentiate…

The voiceover in this video is in a weird uncanny valley where I don't think it's purely AI generated, but it doesn't sound 100% human either. Some sort of AI processing filter may…
