I used to experience the quality degrading with large context issue before, but I haven't in months. Is this still the case?
It's because their actual motto is "Don't tread on me, tread on them"
I don't think the answer is as simple as "The Dutch have better traffic light engineers" There are a ton of factors that go into traffic and traffic patterns. For one thing, I would be curious to see total traffic…
How would Google help with a carpooling profile? They are looking at ways they can improve traffic that are actually in their control. They can change how they route traffic that is using their app, they can’t change…

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/277/ Most cities have some intelligence on their traffic lights, and they do have traffic sensors to know where cars are waiting. You might not see any cars and are annoyed waiting at the…
It was confusing hearing that Facebook was recommending people to you when you made it sound like you were choosing to opt out of those things. I am not sure how your anecdote would show you are all tracked by Facebook…
Freedom is pretty useless without food
well .0014 is 40% more than 0.001, so it isn't THAT close. Although even if we grant you your assumption about 99.9%, doesn't this show that you can still have a business if that is true? 12 million customers is a…
I feel like a lot of the success of an AI project currently still comes down to the skills of the operator. I don't think it is possible to say "AI can't create this because I told AI to create it and it failed" any…
> And the gullibility of his investors is bottomless You can certainly have a problem with Elon Musk, but the people who have invested money with him over the years have done quite well for themselves.
Which is unrelated to Starlink?
> for 99.9% of everyone else? we're good! Well Starlink has 12 million subscribers, which is already more than 0.1% of the population, so clearly you are incorrect that 99.9% of people don't want it...
I doubt the transmission path is longer, fiber optic cables aren't laid in perfectly straight lines between all points.
> Obviously the author has irreversibly became AI-pilled and the day API costs balloon or APIs are down, what work will the author do? I am old enough to remember having these thoughts when documentation for things…
Obviously the abstractions that existed when I learned to program are all correct and natural and the way things should be, while all these new abstractions are wrong and strange and will lead down a path of destruction.
Most of my vagrant usage is from when a coworker has set up a vagrant file for a project.
I think this is just a sign that AI is now participating in the normal evolution of language over time. Language has always been about imitating... someone or some group comes up with a word/phrase/saying and uses it,…
I think this is exactly what the person you are replying to is saying; everyone knows it, but the people in charge of setting up the incentives still don’t seem interested in changing the incentives.
A few years back I underwent an effort to image a bunch of old 3.5” floppies I had from when I was a kid. I used KryoFlux, and had a close to 100% success rate (eventually) Some things I learned: 1. Different drives…
It really doesn’t, and it is easy to demonstrate by using an extreme example. Suppose I invent a device that can detect whether there is a giant invisible dragon living in your house, and it has an accuracy of 99.999%…
I don't think those previous capitalists were any different than the ones today, they just didn't have the same opportunity. It wasn't possible to build a company the size of modern ones with the technology at the time.…
Yep, and this is a perfect example of a base rate fallacy situation... even if the scanner is 99.99% accurate, because an even higher percentage of photos are innocent, most matches the scanner will find will be false…
This is the frustrating thing reading these comments, where people seem to assume that any profit margin is good enough to sustain a business. People see a 3% return and think, "Well, they aren't losing money so there…
