You mean, what about the tall, handsome, well-dressed creepy men? The dichotomy is not conventionally attractive/creepy, it's understands boundaries/creepy.

Do they, really? Because putting data centers in space would mean multiplying the infrastructure cost by a few orders of magnitude, while being far, far away from cheap energy - ph…

You don't necessarily need a computer for that. They built more than a billion typewriters, IIRC.

Yes? There is nothing incoherent with disliking something and putting in effort to see less of it. "Ignore it" is an answer, not the only possible answer, and probably not the opti…

For some reason, I was actually expecting a map of metals - tungsten, uranium and such. Not sure why.

What colour are those bytes? https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

Said human would likely not be able to create a clean-room implementation of any of the codebases they worked on.

That's exactly the problem. Digital natives have, by and large, grown up with computing devices which try their best to be the opposite of general-purpose: their skills are siloed …

> They know what a file is, they use & manage files more than any other generation prior. Unfortunately, they don't. They might have had a computer in their hand for hours each day…

Yes. In five years, once the PMOS devs manage to get a 2025 device in working state, they might have less devices to play around with, so there could be an indirect effect on the p…

Right now, their wiki page on device support [0] lists zero actual devices as "fully supported": > These are the most supported devices, maintained by at least 2 people and have th…

It refers to evaporative cooling of group belief - https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ZQG9cwKbct2LtmL3p/evaporativ...

Not quite - the chip the article refers to is the 47L04 [0], which is "just" NVSRAM built out of a RAM + EEPROM. I do agree on FeRAM being cool, though - I have a few I2C chips en …

People who do not want to read and trust the slop that whatever LLM du jour is regurgitating after calling out to said search engines . Humans are already unfortunately prone to bu…

Setting aside general-purpose LLMs, there exist a handful of models geared towards translation between hundred of language pairs: Meta's NLLB-200 [0] and M2M-100 [1] can be run usi…

You can't say "$TRAIT is binary " when you follow that up with "$TRAIT can only be true, false, or sometimes something else". That's not a binary trait by definition .

They would just move to calling the procedure a violation of the "natural order" - "Lovecraftian horror", "Frankenstein arrangement", "something Mengele would do" - argue that it i…

Do you work in circuit design?

Lynx is a well-known project which has been around for far longer than Github even existed - since 1992, in fact - which is in any case irrelevant, since it's not developed on GitH…

I am still using a 2012 X230 and it taking 40 seconds to boot already feels slow. Six minutes sounds like an HDD boot, but console lagging? I don't know how that could even happen …

They are... not spending tax money? If so, that would still be the only entity given power by the US Constitution to decide what to do with it.

To head off people's facile comments, I will just quote the first two paragraphs of the article, and then ask what part of it seems objectionable . > Italy's data protection author…

It sounds like 95% of shops - of shops you know well enough to have an opinion about - should get their shit together , then. Why should people tolerate their sloppiness ?
