Yeah. In principal, scientists should be excited by weird results. In practice, though, humans are complex creatures with intellectual and emotional inertia. There's an understanda…

> Fable is a PR model. Yeah, Fable is Anthropic's Cybertruck.

"Communal ownership of the means of production" evokes an image of a hippy co-op trying to buy pallets of GPUs, or something, which is probably why it sounds unattainable. But if y…

The comment you're replying to made use of a simile, which is a figure of speech using "like" or "as" that constructs a non-literal comparison for rhetorical effect.

If only. If ICE arrests and deports someone without due process, there is no court case.

There's no such thing. The house always wins or the business collapses.

> A few individuals can completely takeover the government That's not what's happening. When most people serving in positions of government do so in good faith, most forms of gover…

The point is you can't reliably tell if someone's choice of vehicle is wasteful unless you get to know them a bit. Snap-judging someone's entire lifestyle in the second it takes to…

I think part of this is because people often don't appeal to local government unless they've got an axe to grind. Nobody goes to the city council meeting to comment on how everythi…

Yes. I pine for the ATX of phones.

It's not so perplexing when you understand that Python has long had the best ecosystem of libraries for data science and ML, from which the current wave of AI stuff was born. There…

Just a drive-by thought, but: What you're describing sounds a lot like Temporal.io. I guess the difference is the "workflow" of an agent might take different paths depending on wha…

I mean, it probably was a branch that several people contributed commits to that was squashed prior to merge into mainline. Folks sometimes have thoughts about whether there's valu…

For sure, but on balance, during that second: - A smart little girl aced her math test. - A loving father smiled at his kid. - A grandma blew out her 80th birthday candles. Lifetim…

If you actually want to offer substantive contrast, then I'd suggest elaborating on what you find interesting.

Your entire comment is threat modeling, which is great! But it demonstrates my point: using an old, insecure thing is sometimes obscure enough to fly under the radar of one class o…

> Security is not a consideration for such devices, because of their very limited number. Nobody is going to crack into your internet-connected Amiga except maybe some of your frie…

The basis for my understanding is a convo with a Google engineer who was working on self-driving stuff around 10-15 years ago -- not sure exactly when, and things have probably cha…

My (tenuous) understanding is that the challenge with lidar isn't necessarily the cost of the sensor(s) but the bandwidth and compute required to meaningfully process the point clo…

To be fair, some international keyboard layouts actually have variations of key shapes and locations. The shape of the Enter key and the cluster around it is the main example. So i…

I'm not sure I follow. Your complaint is that Framework only sells direct and not through retailers?

FWIW, I have a bind to toggle relative/absolute. You can have both!

It's ok. Turn on relative line numbers and you'll see the light. :)

Short selling a stock means borrowing shares and selling them.

Would you mind talking a little bit about the threat model that would lead you to using Graphine on a new device? IIUC, you have to unlock the bootloader to use a custom ROM, which…
