I don't see it as "do a job because adding value" or "do a job because enjoying the activity". I think these discussions need to consider if we're speaking in a professional or personal context. Professionally, I 100%…
Maybe we're about to test the scifi trope that a common enemy - like a superior invading alien life form - is the only thing that could unite all of humanity.
What are you on about? I'm not a mathematician, but I did a bit more Googling based on your comment, so happy to be corrected here. From what I understand, the solution OpenAI came out with might or might not have been…
I guess the issue is we don't have a solid definition of intelligence or AGI. If we did, there would be no reframing possible. It'd be nice to be able to say "being smart is x, the computers can do more x and faster…
Sorry, I think you're being short sighted here. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time rebuilding custom kernels and installing Puppy, DSL and other niche small operating systems on whatever random bits of hardware I…
I think you need to explain the solution you're thinking of in detail. "an RFC that gives parents the ability to communicate their underage child is using the device without revealing or verifying any further…
Yup, because if you had one, this post would have been the ideal opportunity to put it forward, but you just make some sassy "no u" comment instead.
FYI I stopped engaging with handfuloflight. I couldn't find a coherent argument or position through all the condescension and disagreement.
It's a strawman because it only makes sense if the one off up front cost is $50k, which wasn't the argument I was making. If the one-off up front cost is $20, then your point makes no sense - your boss would have no…
The only reason my chair manufacturer would be entitled to the proceeds of my success whilst I was in their chair is if I hadn't already paid them for the work they put into making the chair for me. Even then, why would…
This seems like common sense. I guess it's not seen as common sense any more because the assumption is that all software is going to be using someone else's compute, or be connected to the internet and therefore require…
I think the issues you're describing are all modern internet software issues. I'd guess you're possibly a bit younger than me, or maybe forgotten how software worked before about 2010. - All compiled software is static.…
Yeah, I totally agree. I think there's no 1-size-fit-all solution. I think the problem should shift onto "how many solutions do we need"? At least 2 I'd guess: 1 is going to be incomprehensibly hard and painful compared…
I assume this is supposed to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, because the argument that SoMeThInG mUsT bE dOnE aBoUt DnS because a whopping 10% of registrations were associated with spam/scams seems silly. There are lots of…
From what I can understand from reading a few different, slightly conflicting, versions of these events: they weren't given write access. They found a zero day exploit that allowed them to create folders, and the folder…
I learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_market in the early 2010s. It wasn't phrased like a prediction market focusing on when a person would die, but more like a bounty. If the bounty/pot got big…
They're fair points. I do respect their ethos and what they're trying to do, that's why I hope they have more success than they're having at the moment. I do want to give equal weight and time to that. But at the end of…
Sorry, I strongly disagree with what you're saying here, and I think you're part of the problem. I bought a fair phone because I believe treating people and things fairly genuinely leads to a better output over time -…
This makes no sense to me - what's the opposite of AI astroturfing? Why are people complaining about it? Ironically, your comment could easily be a failed comment from an astroturfing LLM tasked with…
Thanks for this. My main hope is that as PMOS become daily-driverable, the nature and number of irritated Fairphone users will quickly make PMOS a better alternative to any of the Androids available on FP6. If that…
I provided you evidence but you ignored it, so I'll restate it. In the article that we're all here to discuss, it talks about an unpublished novel that is unpublished specifically because expert publishers couldn't…
This feels about 2 - 5 years out of date now. There isn't enough dark theme with slop-neon accents.
