You are Internet King for the day, this is amazing! Not sure if there is a gyro keeping the seat stable and upright, didn’t seem necessary until he ended up on his butt when going …

When CoPilot showed up in my Word, I was writing a pitch doc that asked me to also describe whether I was using GenAI for anything for this pitch. It made me realize I didn’t know …

There is a Duolingo for Music, worth a look! https://blog.duolingo.com/music-course/

I feel this as well, and increasingly as I get older. It drives me to simplify my office over and over, or at least add storage elements that can hide clutter. Our dystopian future…

Thanks for your comment back… I clicked on it for game market Steam as well, but I learned a few years ago that my great grandfather built some steam cars in Rochester around 1900,…

How much less energy does a query against an 8B model take, vs a 70B model? Can we get more clever about using smaller, more specialized models?

NPR listener for 30 years and I'm having a similar reaction to many of you in this thread. For the first time, I'm finding myself turning off the radio once I'm awake. It seems lik…

japanese!

Thanks for your great work on this! As with a number of other folks here, I too have been playing with using LLMs for language learning. Primarily I've been using the Voice Control…

So happy to hear it. The closed-not-closed state of LCM was exasperating for several years and I know several groups of folks were trying to engage to bring it back to life. It was…

I was working at Nintendo of America in the 90's and remember hearing that the Rare guys were working out of their barn. For years they had an email address for the chickens as a j…

Insurance companies should get behind Right to Repair. We've so far waited three months and have an $11,0000 price tag to the insurance company on a minor collision that bent our c…

Thanks for sharing that info on Neall... It had been a few years but he was great to work with on ps3 rollout and other tech fun back in the day. Sorry to hear it :(

Starbucks cups are lined with plastic on the inside too aren't they? Mmmm tasty microplastics.

Agreed! But it's always so much easier to ban and get credit for "protecting Americans" than do the work and build a solid base for the future. We should hold our politicians to a …

It was, admittedly, already pretty bad when the industry was mostly in the valley and peninsula. SF has been expensive for quite a long time.

Editor wars are right up there with tabs vs spaces, right? I too was an Emacs devotee once upon a time. On of the CS professors at our school in the late 90's was even more so, kno…

If you click on the videos link, it throws this YouTube error: This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive pra…

CoPilot didn't "learn how to program", it is reproducing blocks of code from other projects, some of which explicitly state that using their code requires attribution or other form…

The one I think of immediately is CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience. Saw it in Games for Change Awards nominees and it has stuck with me to this day. 2D side scroller. Well wo…

I find myself wondering whether a useful testing step between mice and people might be the community of small dogs with IVDD. French bulldogs, dachshunds, and corgis seem particula…

This subthread highlights one of the things that seems true about RSI: what works for you may not work for me. I find that having longer key travel works better for me - typing on …

Great work! I'm a big fan of this idea, and as others have mentioned, it's a little reminiscent of the promise of VRML back in the day. Or even of PlayStation Home or Second Life, …

CircuitPython (derived from MicroPython) is objectively pretty excellent, and running on an increasing number of platforms. It's been a really great platform for education.
