I think if anything LLLM has taught us... its that AGI will not be predictable. The idea of an intelligence being consistent as it becomes more capable is probably not a good assum…

I think you just made my point. If designing an eScooter you'd look at available power needed across the problem space. Even more so you might put in a safety features like a tempe…

I think maybe this misses the mark. Yes software can lead to unbounded complexity unlikely many physics based engineering disciplines. However, at the end of the day, there is an i…

Mewing is something intended to address this, but evidence isn't there. Everyone wants a non-invasive solution rather than jaw expanders, braces, retainers etc.. so depending on wh…

There's definitely an existential question around if fusion will ever be able to beat renewables plus batteries, but who knows with our energy demands ever increasing at some point…

Another way of looking at it is CDK's main product is an ERP tailored to the automotive industry. These aren't systems with short setup times and there is major risk to trying to r…

A few quick googles... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_timelike_curve as usual early thinkers on General Relativity were already going down this road.

Lately I've wondered... what if this flow of time wasn't true? at least not at universe scale? Messier than just gravitational affects but actual weird topography in time? There is…

Ditto as to living in "Dallas" proper. Tweets from Delkus and the Fort Worth National Weather Service are the main way I pay attention to new developments. Typically stuff will get…

Watches are common, indicators are common, warnings tend to be very last minute. I consider myself a very weather aware person living near the edge of tornado alley in Dallas, I ge…

Particularly since battery replacement is one of the easier DIY auto repairs many people take on.

I see what you are saying. My comment was more geared towards how a Zillow number or KBB number could move the market and I didn't consider that in the context of the article about…

Definitely think housing is more easily manipulated since there's little standardization of the condition of a house or the materials or features that would drive pricing. (sq foot…

Even a hybrid mission with humans in orbit doesn't make sense. You have to bring less fuel for landing/take-off from Mars. But for that same cost you could send way more robotic wo…

The install of postgres was relatively trivial, it did however raise many licensing questions and I don't think we even had a lawyer on retainer to talk through it. This also made …

Vague memory from 10+ years ago: * Getting real deep with detecting OS/instruction set and edge cases * Constantly validating permissions on every directory and file * Constantly v…

raises hand Similar only we created a Java Swing GUI since it was multiplatform.... So you'd install the JRE (it's multi-platform right?), then you'd install Postgres (what?) then …

Worked at a medium size enterprise and was trying to get some detailed performance metrics with a legacy tech stack that didn't have a drop-in APM soluion. This was in the age of g…

It's self-selecting. If the relationship was not in a healthy state to begin with, divorce doesn't fix that dysfunction. It's full admission the relationship between two people isn…

I'd agree and my comment is more of a critique on the evolution of American society leading away from community building. Whether it be subtle things like suburban homes with giant…

Or more to the point, lean heavily into "it takes a village to raise a child".

Another commenter linked to an earlier Nature article where 'Model' is a particularly carved out word in the ethical guidelines. https://archive.ph/Xnx5n#selection-1171.0-1171.349

This would be awesome... When I'm in a rabbit hole trying to find a product and I see three or four of roughly the same design I know not to bother any further unless I can find a …

I was "A man, a can and a plan" cook prior to being introduced to Good Eats videos. Particularly since Alton delves straight into the scientific 'why' things are happening. I don't…

Depends on the underlying framework on how it isolates processes... I could see this happening in a monolithic JVM application where it pretends there are separate containers, but …
