Arrrrrr, me old friend, good to see you again.

Definitely my take as well, how many times is this going to happen before people toss it or will people just use it because it allows them to do stuff.

Exactly my opinion as well. In America we need to learn how to build bike infrastructure, not just car infrastructure that pretends to be for bikes. I'm as guilty as any other driver because if I'm not using that space, another driver will I claim no innocence. The painted bike lanes as...

If they are getting any federal money then we should all have access as our tax dollars are paying for this. There should be multiple tiers (free/cheap/business/etc) but the idea that we are giving them airwave space in the em spectrum and now have to subsidize them? Fuck that.

Not seeking tax breaks for power usage is one thing, but how will lowering supply of the power result in the same prices for consumers? Even if they are paying more for power than the residential consumers, how can residential consumers be guaranteed that the power company won't prioritize the...

This is totally what they are going to use this tech for. The perfectly tuned slop ad that will get you to always do what it wants. Well, that's the hope.

People talk all the time about how the LLMs are scaling while ignoring that the error rates still are very high. That number may even be coming down but it's not low enough yet for the applications they keep trying and failing to apply it to. The worst part about these systems is that...

To the people downvoting peoples frustration with the witness, just remember that because you disagree with someone on the internet you don't need to downvote their opinion. Especially when they are not being mean with their comment. I too wanted to finish the witness but just got bored with...

My lukewarm take on the whole VR headset product is that it's been over 60 years since we started to develop these things (https://www.vrs.org.uk/virtual-reality/history.html) and they still look and feel like a beta test of a bunch of ideas instead of a coherent product with more than niche use...

A good example of design without words too, sometimes designers, people, users, they cannot articulate what they are looking for in words, and must go through a visual or aural process to figure out how something should look, sounds, feel. Something AI chatbots will never be able to do for us.

So one thing that this project would be good for is random noise. Launching a bunch of satellites into space and using them as cosmic noise samplers to generate billions of 'random' entropy would be a much more reasonable use of this project. Normal computer chips need to be hardened to avoid...

I would think that if anything, since the panels can't easily remove the heat, their efficiency would be lowered. An efficient solar panel is a cool panel.

This is definitely the 'normal' way of people reasoning about their own actions. We invent a reason that we chose a course of actions, and are mostly unable to remember the real reasons why we did something. It is amazing that LLM AI tech is built on lies, and the way we are trying to...

The whole CS2 being linked to underage gambling fiasco is kinda an underplayed issue surrounding what is actually one of the largest continuous revenue streams for Valve. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6jhjjVy5Ls

It's exactly like throwing dice, if the dice could also form a sentence that pretends to explain its process. This whole idea is gross and junk. In the US we can't even get euthanasia laws to allow people to die when THEY choose to, now we are entertaining the idea that the decision to kill...

The app is iOS only, and the reason is that the dev said it was due to the way it handled notification on apple devices. There's nothing stopping a website or other system from doing this but getting notifications delivered reliably to all devices is the real technical issue.

The only thing that AI models and humans have in common here is that humans also don't actually understand how they got to the state they are currently in either. Unlike AI ChatBots, people can change though. Not just for a 'token window' or until the next update, but people can guide...

Apple may be the reason for the sudden dip as they keep making it harder for old software to run on the platform, either with gatekeeper changes that enforce developers design their code or with the latest 32 to 64 bit migration or the intel to arm migration. Yeah you can use an intel build but...

I don't get what you're trying to show with this graph, looks like steam deck has driven mac usage to a new low. IME, there a lots of games which simply don't have a mac build on Steam and that kinda sucks. Or if they do, it's usually delayed because they prioritize the PC/Steam Deck builds...

Yeah, it's really only the game devs who don't want to build for macOS that's the problem on mac. You could use Whiskey for awhile but that project is gone but you can use CrossOver instead.
