    (This is all obviously quite speculative) Self hosted local ai will go mainstream... but... it will be different from central ai. Local ai will be like a microchip in a dishwasher.…

    What will you do when the prompt was "Figure out the bug and write a report for me". Not saying it was in this particular case, but I think at least in other cases, it will be.

    Serrated knives are for back and forth sawing, not slicing. Would the same go for a serrated tooth?

    I think this is exactly it though. Instead of targeting the moving target of "correctness", we should be proving the absence of common defects. Proving that secrets CANNOT be downl…

    Restricting retail trading of derivatives and short positions doesn't sound like the worst idea.

    A known bug with easily accessible proof-of-concept is quite different from a theoretical bug.

    It should be mentioned that rust's type system has a long-standing known bug compromising memory safety, as made famous by cve-rs. It's perhaps not a big issue for most people but …

    If we play a little fast and loose we can consider openai to be a chinese room made up of both artificial and human intelligence, and this "room" certainly seems to want to self-pe…

    I think the nature of mathematics is an interesting question without one clean answer. To present a radically different view of mathematics: It's a game of string transformations, …

    This might work really well in practice idk, but I think it's not allowed by big O to pick a maximum supported size. Otherwise you could just make a lookup table. Your algorithm mu…

    I think the problem comes when you do a multiplication and you need more primes for uniqueness.

    I think you could solve homelessness really simple by allowing something like a favela. It will be an eyesore so pick an area out of sight of rich people. Then split it into like i…

    Doesn't that mean that if you have a slam dunk case you can get a super expensive lawyer just to run up costs as much as possible? Hell, could you ask your friend to be your legal …

    My tinfoil hat says this isn't "spontaneous grassroots activism". Someone made this happen that benefits from this. Maybe a country that wants to mess with the Netherlands. Hell, i…

    Your whole strategy basically involves having more compute than the other guy so you can look one step further. And yeah in an AI world having more compute or some exclusive data s…

    Firefox is software rendered on linux-nvidia which leads to a bizarre situation of simple web animations lagging on decent computers.
