Was hoping this would actually mean any device. Until it does, I've had pretty good success with Bazzite ( https://bazzite.gg/ ) on some hand-me-down hardware and hooked up to the …

This is some serious cherry-picking at work. Look at the NIH grants listed, which by dollar value far outweigh the NSF grants listed: https://grant-watch.us/nih-data.html Which par…

Adding some context to this, because it's a really interesting read that's worth the time if you ask me: it's about how some recently 'discovered' early playtest versions of Pokemo…

Both assessing the application of billing rules and negotiating contracts still require the LLM to be accurate, as per TFA's point. Sure, an LLM might do a reasonable first pass, b…

It disappoints me how easily we are collectively falling for what effectively is "Oh, our model is biased, but the only way to fix it is that everyone needs to give us all their da…

To put it simply: this is not adequately explained by stupidity.

Toggle on "Focus on hover".

Your conclusion of ~3L of gasoline is right, but it looks like you dropped a few zeroes on the way there - your example of 1x1x1m sunk 10km below the surface would be sitting benea…

There is some movement to fill the gap between GPs and hospitals: https://www.health.vic.gov.au/priority-primary-care-centres

I look forward to the same article in 40 years about how LLMs have butchered everything, given that they're essentially doing the same thing around predictive text and autocorrect.…

I really like this as a way to repurpose old hardware; I have known many laptops that end up sitting around in cupboards after their 'useful' life is over, that could probably stil…

Why is this just a copy of half of an existing comment elsewhere in the thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34733758

Big fan of Azgaar's - used it to build the world for my campaign. If anyone else who used it had issues a while back with an update (around 1.6) where biomes started showing over w…

(2019), but also this is an opinion piece that makes a lot of claims without any evidence beyond the libertarian ideology of its author. It should be no surprise that the federal g…

Imagine you had an employer with some empathy instead of the dystopian employment hellscape that seems to exist in the USA, and your entire justification falls down. When the respo…

This is a key feature for me, and I'm disappointed that the Pixel 6 has gone for the in-display fingerprint sensor instead of the rear-mounted.

I think they mean where none of the crew were state-sponsored astronauts; i.e. fully private.

Paragraph 6: > Scattered excrement can cause bacterial infections in cows. And when their poop mixes with pee, it creates an environmental hazard: ammonia, which can transform into…

When social media companies are trying to make the media as addictive as possible to keep you scrolling and viewing ads, and employing psychological exploits to do so, it's not qui…

Interesting implications and parallels for arguments about Section 230 in the US. I suspect this will lead to many more 'comments disabled', as the article itself notes: > One of t…

For similar and excellent write-ups of the causes and consequences of air crashes, I highly recommend Admiral Cloudberg's write-ups: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/

+1 for templates. The big hurdle I hit with every productivity app is getting it set up. I'd love to have some templates to play with, to find bits that work for me that I can copy…

My understanding is that the new law still requires a warrant, but that the warrant can be granted by an administrative tribunal rather than a judge - so technically what Fastmail …

I got an undergraduate degree in philosophy more than 10 years ago, and I would say it was absolutely worthwhile, and that it has improved my life substantially. Sure, I didn't get…

The counterpoint is that no responsible adult tries to have sex with minors.
