    And if you do follow these arrests you'll notice that it's old-fashioned investigations that catch them, by tracing behavior, log in times, etc. The comment I was answering was imp…

    Viewing corporations as amoral bots that are justified in squeezing every bit of profit out of humans is exactly what is wrong with our society. Someone in a big tech was the inven…

    Nowadays there are tournament matches with no resignations allowed, so setting stalemate traps may be more common from now on.

    Excited for stuff like this as a CRPG player. A possible future for designing a crpg NPC might be to write a bunch of memories, descriptions, likes and dislikes, etc. in text inste…

    Teens are way more excited than adults at seeing this stuff, as well, so we can expect engagement to increase the dirtier the content shown gets

    This content isn't as overt as it may seem, maybe you did come across it and just didn't notice flashing. Those "in the know", generally younger people whose friends told them abou…

    I've seen it called "agentic search" while RAG seems to have become synonymous with semantic search via embeddings

    The results are interesting for showing the efficacy of small, fine-tuned models that can be run locally. AI providers as a business need their do-all models to be better than thes…

    Yeah, I agree. The entire value/fact dichotomy that the announcement bases itself on is a pretty hot philosophical topic I lean against Kagi on. It's just impossible to summarize a…

    Yes, that's what it is. Kagi as a brand is LLM-optimist, so you may be fundamentally at odds with them here... If it lessens the issue for you, the sources of each item are cited p…

    Legally, you mean? Because I'd say most reasonable people would say a literal wire on your phone is pretty personal. Location is PID too if they store the data at all

    Which is so bad it barely means anything for lower-end PCs. I played and enjoyed plenty of hours on Elden Ring while rocking hardware well below the minimum requirements

    Have you tried Polars in Python? When you get going it's pretty similar to tidyverse, except you're chaining methods instead of piping, and it's lazily evaluated + parallel because…

    How is Julia in terms of data science dev experience? Nothing ever felt as good as the R+tidyverse combo to me, at least in Python.

    Comment #45300983

    Agree 100% on tidyverse becoming part of the standard library. Some of the language's greatest libraries (like Hyndman's forecasting stuff) basically assume you're using tidyverse …

    Well, the supposed PhD-level models are still pretty dumb when they get to consumers, so what gives?

    This has been my experience even in Cursor. I often select the GPT-5 option because I know it will "know" better how much reasoning effort it needs

    Just to be clear, are you saying that to know something: 1- You may remember only the initial state and the brain does the rest, like with mnemonics 2- You may remember only the in…
