I am a grug!

In my math syllabus for Engineering there was a book "numeric analysis", it showed how you could find the solution to weird equations like x=ln(x) I thought this is nowadays called…

The money is just a gauge of how much food, housing, clothing, energy,... one person can consume versus another. Money is not absolute, it is relative x/y. Ultimately, the real stu…

There will be a form of UBI, because of the need for it, eventually. It will probably never be a 'fair' system (there probly will still be 1000xUBI people) but it will be necessary…

Gave an upvote to compensate :)

In this case 'did you read the whole article' feels apt and correct.

I'm not very materialistic and i have saved heaps, so never in financial trouble. What I'm always looking for is love, even though I have a loving family, wife and kid. Its always …

The galery of generated images looks amazing, it's hard (but often possible) to spot inconsistencies in detailed images.

I thought of making a joke that I expected to finally stumble upon a HN post that was not about AI and then Claude was mentioned on the wiki page.

The total image size is scaled each time such that each solution takes up the same amount of space. It is easier to browse that way.

So the availability of cheap phones is going down because of the cost of RAM. What about the RAM consumption trend of the last 10 years? I think it is very feasible to produce phon…

Anything anyone wants to spend money on, can be converted into dollars. The currency has no tell in what it is used for.

> Requirements gathering is NOT a software engineering problem. Software is implementation, product is behaviour. That's the split. That's a theory but I've never seen this work in…

I find that a very weird thing to write. I think the last BSOD i had was 10 years ago and when a laptop didn't work anymore, it was usually because some of its hardware broke. It's…

Having friends is a bit like a love relationship : you have to work at it and sometimes you get hurt. Things that are worth the effort mostly take effort.

Are you a very smart writer or are you using smart tools, I'm not sure?

LLM's are in principle text in / text out machines. If the user extends its capability to have agency over a production database or a machine, there's nothing that can safeguard th…

Such 'highly damaged' brain is still 90 percent or more structured the same as a normal human brain. See it as a brain that runs in debug mode. It is known that the narrative part …

A lot of people voted for someone who was known to be an evil crook. It was very clear that he got into politics for praising his own ego. They voted against 'the good' in the hope…

You lost me well before the anodyne canards... When talking about feelings, we now and then throw in an English word because some things are expressed in much less words when using…
