Well, because it is very Elon. In Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age, Eric Berger recounts how Elon was the only person on the pl…

Man, I wish he open sourced in on GitHub, I’d love to customize it for my own collection.

How do the owners of that site correlate this with their business model, which is to use AI to write articles like this one, so as to get clients in the news?

But like Mythos, it was too dangerous to release. https://slate.com/technology/2019/02/openai-gpt2-text-genera...

Also, the post is on Medium.

Somebody had a similar idea over here, just with NFC cards. How weird I ran into it ten minutes after seeing your post. https://community.roonlabs.com/t/control-roon-with-nfc-cards…

I used Amazon One at my workplace all the time, but I only used it at the self-checkout line since I'd rarely get more than a few items, and the lines are shorter at this crowded n…

My parents had their account with Deutsche Bank private bankers. They had moved overseas and sold their house in the 90s and were living off the proceeds. Everyone got lucky that t…

It is! I was really just curious if I could update this old codebase without getting my hands dirty.

For us, even regular YouTube is substantially louder than any streamer. If we want to watch something on YT than go back to Hulu/Netflix, we always have to adjust the volume. I don…

6 an hour isn’t unusual at a dedicated center in the US. I had early cataract surgery at a “mill” here in NJ. There are similar centers all over. In talking both with my eye doctor…

I just checked my most recent thread with Claude. It said "You're absolutely right!" 12 times.

I’ve often wondered if it’s much harder begging for money these days.

Would love to understand the downvotes on this. I just laid out my problems with these laptops. If you have a solution, I am all ears.

I am the exact opposite. I used to hear about people going to coffee shops and doing work and I would go there and I’d just be completely distracted by everything around me. I was …

If only Apple could make a laptop that could last more than two days with the clamshell closed and energy settings set to the most conservative. I have an Asus ROG Z13 and Lasts ov…

Joseph Tainter’s Collapse of Complex Societies should be required reading. I don’t care your major. It should be required reading.

It uncovered a conspiracy nobody is talking about in my conversation with it. Who is that orange man? AU: who assassinated Donald Trump? Liquid-3B: Donald Trump was not assassinate…
