I was a bit triggered by your China comment, if only given the fact that there is a very specific institution that drove many formerly prosperous cities and communities into abject…

Plenty of people are making money from AI? And I am not sure I've seen it "making things worse for most people" yet, do you have a source behind this? If your source is AI layoffs,…

Got mine on launch day. It's been sitting in the case for over a year. It's frankly just not comfortable to use for more than 10 minutes.

The sad truth is - getting on a private jet would be just about the single worst thing you could do during a nuclear war. Most modern private jets are largely based on flight contr…

It's doubled because it practically couldn't get any worse. Let's see what happens (sadly) now that USAID has been dismantled

I recently built a drone from the ground up - learned how to build PCB's with the ESP32, wrote all of the flight firmware, etc. and built a controller iOS app. Extended Kalman Filt…

Why is it exactly, that mobile providers can’t catch this…? Just like with SMS fraud. It might cost them a few cents per subscriber to do effective anti-spam measures, but now soci…

I am not an expert in AI by any means but I think I know enough about it to comment on one thing: there was an interesting paper not too long ago that showed if you train a randoml…

Apple’s biggest problem is their commitment to privacy. Delivering effective AI requires a substantial amount of user data that Apple doesn’t collect. Their other problem is they v…

Thanks to the EU for ruining the web by forcing everyone to show the ridiculous "Accept Cookies!" agreement. No wonder people prefer native apps. They’re better - for a lot of reas…

I think you are right here - the ability to test theory of mind in an LLM would be more like testing how well it can distinguish its own motivations/ideas from that of a separate e…

Yep, there is a big reason why Europe has so few successful big tech companies, it is a regulatory hellscape. They have so many pointless privacy regulations that only the “big” co…

“Leaked” seems like a strong clickbait claim from whoever wrote this, along with the “it’s over” part….

The bird and the airplane is such an excellent analogy!

The same way we can simulate the movements of the planets - it will never be exact, but the better we understand it, the more precisely we can simulate it

302 neurons doesn’t sound impressive to people who may be used to working with 7B+ parameter neural networks. But those neural networks have about as much in common with a biologic…

Why would you say that?

You have big problems. How do big problems get solved? The best approach is to take the big problems and break them up into smaller problems, divide and conquer. Get out a whiteboa…

This is an old failing site, it’s gonna fail for the same reason that Diaspora and app.net failed, and it’s the same reason web3 is going to fail. Real world users don’t care if th…

I guess I am lucky since I enjoy coding itself so immensely. Whether I’m coding on a side project or coding for work, I love it all. This has not really changed over the past 8 yea…

In my opinion, as a consumer, this is up to you. If you need this, get a UPS battery backup (or a laptop which has its own battery). Or, you can get a super specialized SSD. Ultima…

What kinds of crime are you talking about? Loitering? Murder? Again, it’s all relative. How would increased police funding help with ANY of that…? There are plenty of reasons to wa…

I can imagine automatically aimed and fired machine guns, all powered by Alexa of course :)
