Copyright doesn't care whether it's expensive. The fact that someone else, with the infrastructure and training data could get the same or almost the same weights makes it obvious there's no human originality in the…
Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't awful. I'm just saying that generally speaking, rural living involved more backbreaking labor than city living.
Bookmarks are so badly neglected tabs might be preferable. Firefox mobile doesn't even allow you to tag new bookmarks.
Urban women definitely had easier lives. In a certain class, of course, you had a servant, but even below that professional laundresses existed. Only the poorest did all of their own laundry. This extends to a whole lot…
This is probably my favorite metaphor in this thread. Most of the others feel fairly stretched, but this one is less concerned with matching something in the real world 1:1, and I think as a result is clearer.
The idea that any LLM trained on public data in 2026 or later could be invisibly poisoned in multiple ways by multiple parties is horrifying. If it actually works that way, I think it's almost guaranteed organizations…
PTM is still all the rage, but liquid metal is more marketable. Of the latest gen of AMD GPUs, a bunch used PTM.
Do napkin math on how much lead is actually in a 3d print. Then think about the exposure that actually translates to, since most of that is buried inside a print. We're talking micrograms per kg with a brass nozzle,…
Did you throw it into ChatGPT 5.6 pro? Some people claim 5.6 is smarter than 6.
0.82g/lb of lean body mass is a ton of protein compared to any normal diet. That's like 5 scoops of whey protein powder for a 180lb person.
I think almost the exact opposite. They want open models. Without credible open models, they only have a few customers, and those customers have leverage against nvidia. With open models, they have tons of customers,…
I wonder if that shielding would show up in WiFi imaging techniques.
China produces roasted unrefined rapeseed oil (caizyou) from low erucic acid rapeseed these days. It might just be for export, but it exists.
I don't even know what I lost it for. I was talking about Dwarf Fortress, trying to help someone backport a dfhack script to fix a bug (I was the author of the script). Next thing I know the post was deleted by admins…
At some point in the recent (last few years) past, reddit account bans became a fully-automated process with no oversight. Unfortunately, that leads to people getting banned for nothing. That happened to me. In this…
Even ignoring the AI, I hate how useless exact text search has become. It used to be that you could search for a string: a song lyric, a quote, an excerpt from a book, a sentence you remembered from a discussion on…
Searching first is how Kagi assistant works and it's great.
After my experience with the Quest 3's software, I'm not really interested in anything Meta. That's ignoring the privacy issues and other issues with Meta as a company.
Did you set it to do memory training on every boot? That's a big stability help. Should also run Memtest86+ a few times. With some stick swapping you can determine if you have a bad stick or slot.
I just can't see how a smart ring company is worth 14b, or how they need 2b. This seems insane to me.
It's not in front of your eyes, optically speaking.
Once the resolution is there (which is taking an awful long time), you could have whatever 'monitor' setup you want in a small space. Personally I wouldn't want to replace my desktop, but replacing my monitor? I'd do it…
Wireless gets better if you mount a dedicated AP on your wall, but that's a pretty big ask when an appropriate AP isn't cheap. Steam Frame is solving this with a dedicated dongle, if I recall, which I think is a good…
It has worse pass-through than the Quest 3, which is still much cheaper. That said, I'm now eyeing the Arcturus Vision camera, so thanks.
The Steam Frame looks like a heck of a device. At the cost, though, I question why they didn't include a better pass-through camera. A device with onboard processing and a good pass-through camera would be very neat. If…
