My parents had something very similar to this in their apartment in the midwestern US in the 80s. I recall it as being an aluminum mount with a chain ladder.
Posts containing links to external sites which are not owned by the parent company are downranked or outright excluded in many social media feeds. This has been a known pattern for many years. It's not only Facebook…
A neighbor of mine had an Apple IIc when I was a kid and I thought it was the coolest, most futuristic computer I'd ever seen. I was very envious. So many colors.
> fossil fuels have no future in the energy mix In the really long run that's of course true, but in the nearer term we are not going to have a replacement for jet fuel any time soon. So, for example, I personally would…
This effect still happens to with cheap battery-powered cat toys that chirp. Some are rechargeable, some just keep squawking pixelated noises for years on end. Ask me how I know.
I hadn't seen it before, funny. OP mentioned in a top level comment that this Joma Tech video was part of their inspiration.
From the actual Anthropic post: "We run Gemma4-26B-A4B, distributed over 15 inexpensive off-brand Android TV boxes (~$55 each) that we bought and networked together, at 0.39 tokens per second. [...] A model that’s too…
Oh wow, your user name is relevant! I still think about the Smoov B character from time to time, his recurring column in earlier issues of The Onion were... memorable.
A lot of us saw this one coming a while ago. Many, many artists of all kinds have already put up "AI-free" (or similar) badges on their work. I think it will be more significant in the fine arts world, however local art…
> emotional sense (that we seem to want to bake into the concept for added confusion) My understanding is that 'emotional' sense emerged organically in LLMs and was not intentionally baked in. As silly as it may seem,…

That was part of what was so great about it, the many different ways it provided new developers to learn and get granular feedback as they went along, without encumbering the workflow for more experienced users. I took…
> converting petrol into sugar-based biofuel to burn instead of burning the petrol directly The obvious question here seems to me to be, what if they just burned their own biofuel? How much would that increase the…
Yes, please. I spent a lot of time cutting my teeth in MS Access, and would've done a whole lot more in VB6 if it didn't become deprecated so quickly. It's like a whole smooth ecosystem I expected to persist and improve…
Spot on. I've continued to be astonished at how publicly many people choose to live, especially considering all the inevitable negative results which have been well documented for decades and continue to increase.…
As art projects go, this one has a lot of charm for me. Plenty of room for allegories (although apparently not the paperclips, haha). Timekeeping in general is a subject with depth across many domains-- particularly in…
There is no clear ROI for a whole bunch of the research we do. Yes, the system will likely always be a bit biased toward research that does eventually lead to some sort of profitable enterprise, but any self respecting…

You are making several very strong, unqualified, absolute statements which are really only your opinions. You are also apparently unaware of the large body of top level philosophical writing on this subject going back…
One of the important overlooked aspects of this is how maltreatment of something that appears to be human-like in many ways by an actual human affects the person doing it. I know this did not end up being applicable in…
I can't in good conscience upvote short form jokes on HN, but that got a laugh out of me.
This could potentially be an important part of price discovery, though. The market is constantly seeking that balance point between 'chasing whales' and 'making it up on volume'.
I guarantee you armies of lawyers have been doing exactly what you describe for years now with existing laws, and it's only increasing. For new legislation, you may have a point in certain situations, but even the most…
