There are a lot of people who basically believe in a conspiracy of stupid people while at the same time believing anyone who believes in a conspiracy is stupid. It is an amazing tr…

Having lost 30lbs so far in 2024, you are highly under estimating the devastation of our gluttonous foodie culture. All the factors you mention I suspect are completely meaningless…

Having worked at large corporations and now a small company, I think the reason for this is so no one can be blamed for anything when things go wrong at a large corporation. The ma…

This is nothing new. I grew up going to Canada every weekend in the summer. Canadians have known more what is going on in America than Americans for at least the last 35 years. I l…

As someone who doesn't use social media this analogy strikes me as a rationalization for something you know is bad for you and a waste of your time but you can't stop so you make u…

The old "can't make money with numpy, its all produced in already"

An even more fundamental problem is in trying to judge something completely subjective like how good food tastes. I assume you believe you have good taste in food and I very well m…

Totally agree. I would think part of a good defense is to simply not care about politics on any level. Personally, I think all these counter measures are a fool's game. It most lik…

But it will cause a reduction in wages and the quality compared to hand crafted fabrics will be inferior when automated.

I suspect this is a feature of the modern world. I have heard of a few philosophers of their day years back being considered "the most learned man in Europe". Not the smartest, but…

I don't personally see a solution other than student loan money being much harder to get. There is so much bad research because there are too many researchers. For myself, I think …

Anything that starts with "no..xyz" is always bullshit IMO written for an audience of morons.

I question how valuable the ontology is even once you come up with it. It seems to me if the idea behind all this was that valuable, it would have transformed banking in the 2000s …

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down! These people shouldn't complain when their is no creativity left in society.

I almost never put my camera on. I think people mostly like turning their camera on to show off their home office, living room or book case. Beyond that, there is just no point. It…

I just think these are the thoughts of old people. The creative mediums of the day are tiktok videos and video games. It is the same line of thought from back in the day that the e…

Maybe for a very short amount of time. I suspect this quickly will be like specializing in the repair of cheap, Chinese made desk lamps from Walmart. If the cheap desk lamp breaks,…

Totally agree the difference is in the scaling properties. On the other hand, I look around the room I am in and it is filled mostly with "low quality" Chinese made products. While…

That is the base style. You can get much different image qualities adding different types of film, cameras, etc to the prompt. With that said, I loved Midjourney a year ago but I a…

You can't be using KDE Plasma then. I don't even know how to access the KDE Plasma help because it is just so easy to use. I am writing this on a $500 ASUS Vivobook that came with …

IMO the unreasonable uselessness of LLMs is because for most tasks involving language the accuracy needs to be unbelievably high to have any real value at all. We just don't have t…

I am not a software engineer and these tools allow me to make a giant mess of an app in a weekend that kind of does what I want but I only get that weekend. Once I come back to it …

50 years ago at my elementary school playground in the US I remember a scorching reflective metal slide that would slide you right into pool of mud. I haven't seen one of these sli…

I kind of remember the Turing Test was a big deal for some 70+ years. We should have known that once we pass the Turing Test it would almost instantly become as passe as Deep Blue …
