Plus, many people also seem to not realize that our baseline is needing to create around 150k jobs a month just to keep the same unemployment rate. So in this current version of pa…

I think this combined with a bit of memory and something like the “high-bandwidth flash” they just announced (if it works out), could be an interesting thing for some resident (bur…

Land disturbance and rainfall/runoff/watershed considerations are literally part of the permit processes for any building?

My 2 cents is that it’s more about market manipulation (by proxy) than anything. What happens if you convince consumers AI is bad and they shouldn’t approve small datacenters, is t…

The copyright office’s guidance is that prompts are covered by copyright, it is the output of an LLM that one cannot claim ownership of.

They are meant to be sharp like an axe (high angle), not sharp like a knife (low angle). They aren’t supposed to be blunt like a butter knife. Dull blades damage the grass.

Exactly. If someone says, “I’m running to the grocery and McDonald’s drive-thru,” no one assumes they are sharing a drive-thru…

I have to agree in that, generally, people care in the same way they care on TT/Insta/etc, which is to say that any time they don’t know it’s AI they simply don’t care and will vie…

Wouldn’t work for me for about a couple weeks so I just stopped using reddit. Worked today when I tried again. I always use private tabs because I don’t like cookies/tracking acros…

Isn’t this an AI lab that also just happened to release a model? Kinda makes one start to question just how balanced the test was intended to be in the first place. Maybe by taking…

Plain water can cut through aluminum and other thin metals at pressure, and human skin probably isn’t harder than that, but that’s a good clarification for those who are unaware of…

Makes you wonder why; if we can cut steel in half with water, would it be possible to deliver ink to a specified depth with high pressure “ink needles” (microscopic high pressure s…

I’d ask that coworker, “so you would be okay with paying $10 per gallon of gas, while the Prius that barely uses gas next to you pays only $3 per gallon? You use more gas, which me…

Solely the direct output of an LLM? Not in the US, no, according to the copyright office. Can a human edited and corrected text in which a human adds authorship (corrections, style…

No! You see, it has text and a version at the top. That makes it new, fresh, and completely different. Some would even say superior.

I’m still curious if they “weren’t inside the U.S.”, how they are being charged with a law that is only applicable to…the U.S.

Plates can be retroactively searched, backtracked, subjects followed back to other cars and tracked back to where they left from, or other cars that are repeatedly in the area prio…

I don’t think that’s true; my understanding is that there are (currently opt in, I don’t it should be) monitoring that flags any such requests for administrative review and a numbe…

> while only have a weak grasp on the actual code. How much of a grasp does one need on the UEFI code operating their computer? The drivers that operate a hard drive? The communica…

Definitely agree, though not sure I agree on the why (I’ve also disagreed with the conclusions of similar studies as well). Programming is high-function job that requires knowledge…

Elderly and disabled people don’t ever live in one-bedrooms or ADUs? Also, where did you find all this information on their targeted renter — did I miss that in the article or did …

You’d take the bet if you could completely choose a different set of parameters? At no point did I say every line of a vibe-coded project in its entirety is better than every line …

If that were the comparison I made — that a non-developer vibe-coding is better than a developer — sure, I’d see your point.

I think the point being made is how this is different from stay-at-home parents? I would also add another example: home-bound elderly or disabled people? Is it acceptable to charge…

Is that what you got out of it? Seems like some bias might have been brought to the reading, since at no point did they “contrast” US workers from what I see. They simply stated th…
