I think the difference is between: 1) me doing a nice thing and them reciprocating later, possibly. Others may or may not see this display of niceness. 2) me doing a nice thing, getting karma points my friend and other…
Ward Cunningham, who coined technical debt, describes it as having interest, which is exponential: > Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly…
You're making a lot of unwarranted assumptions about me: I'm not dismissing agency. I don't feel people making decisions is inconvenient. I don't not like their decisions. Their preferences do not mean nothing. I'm not…
It's not just a matter of preference or proclamation. There are decades of research showing that more walkable neighborhoods are associated with higher physical activity levels, lower rates of some chronic diseases,…
Ahh France. I was in Paris trying to order a sandwich. I asked: "Parlez-vous anglais?" Them: "Non!" (rudely and went back to what they were doing) I then tried explain in my very butchered french I learned in elementary…
Only it's been shown time and time again that piracy does not destroy the profit motive. As a personal anecdote, when I used to pirate things, I still bought things in the same category, ie: I would pirate movies and I…
I think whether you can say it's empirically incorrect depends on if the researchers measured the right thing. Measuring: “Do you think your job is useful?” was over-simplifying, and could miss the phenomenon that…
Late reply so not sure if you'll see this. But I mean: they appear to be results. They look real, but are not. There are subtle errors hidden that the casual observer will not, or even cannot detect. Obviously there are…
Asking chatgpt, in UK in late 80s, it would be 20-25% across all computers, depending on definition of "computer". A 1/4 of households is still high. It may have been higher in your neck of the woods.
I bought this book a year ago but have not read it. It's one of those books that requires effort from the reader, which these days seems in low supply for me. :) I'll have to give it another try. Recently I commented…
I used to report scams to facebook, but they deny my claim and say the ads are fine. Seems like fake AI videos of celebrities/politicians asking you to invest in alt-coins is A-OK in facebooks... book. It's infuriating.
My wife ran into something similar to this. Microsoft changed the bucket that email attachments went into for quota purposes. She had a lot of emails with pictures attached, so was immediately above the new quota, and…
I don't imagine that thinking, intelligent readers would pigeon-hole a very large group of people based off of one hn comment. Somewhat ironic.
I don't see many on one "side" with prideful ignorance. There are a few loud ones, sure. But I love to see the many ideas I've not had the time to implement come to fruition. I don't get the same satisfaction. It…
When I heard roblox was doing this, I asked both my kids if they uploaded their face data. They both had already. I didn't think to warn them. Really annoyed a company can ask this of children without parental consent.
I've only skimmed the article so I may have missed something but they seem to be equating AGI with consciousness, or that consciousness is required for AGI. I'm not convinced it's required. I'm also not convinced that…
I'm not sure how much of this is in my head, but when I first saw 4K sitcoms, their house looked like a movie set, not a house. It looked too real so the illusion was broken. Watching a movie on my new smart TV, the…
I have to say this sort of thing is hard to think about, as it's pretty hypothetical right now. But I can't imagine how the current iteration of AI could give me the same joy? Me and my friend were roommates. We played…
Apologies, but I'm copy/pasting a previous reply of mine to a similar sentiment: Art is an expression of human emotion. When I hear music, I am part of those artists journey, struggles. The emotion in their songs come…
That is part of it, but the bigger part for me is, art is an expression of human emotion. When I hear music, I am part of those artists journey, struggles. The emotion in their songs come from their first break-up, an…
If they are purely random, it's damning. Flip a coin until you get heads 52 times in a row.
Yes, and so the value of the persons opinions on the repo is low. Far lower than real documentation written by someone who knows more, that would not have made that mistake. The value proposition here is that these llm…
I thought your playground wasn't working as it renders black text on black background. Maybe I have darkmode enabled or something. Other renderers work, but ascii is invisible.
On my roku youtube app, you can only see 2 videos in full. Yes that's right, 2 videos. You can technically see 6 but there's so much cutoff on the right and bottom that you can't see what those videos are. It's insane.…
2 stories about ICE were in the top 5 yesterday and within 60 minutes one of them was at #80, the other I could no longer find. It might not be a conspiracy but these stories do get removed one way or another.
