He makes an excellent point. I’m not particularly passionate about my job either. But I am passionate about the Indiana Pacers - they should really consider letting me buy the team with money I don’t have.

They did make that tool. It does sell itself. I’ve been an engineer for two decades and the power of this tool is legitimately dizzying at times. It has completely reshaped how I work. The problem people are having is coming to grips with the fact that our society is at its breaking point...

Aren’t some of these places where the ultra wealthy are planning to flee when things start getting really bad? Ironic.

As I mentioned earlier to another poster - I don’t see the problem in that scenario. It was primarily written by a human who then had it edited. Oh no? I also don’t love the “I can just tell this is written by AI” witch hunting that accompanies it. The detection rate in the one study I...

I know it would probably be horribly abused, but part of me does wonder how things would shake out if it was possible for both parties in a civil trial like this to lose.

It’s likely to be shouting pretty good later this year. The official El Niño forecasts required them to extend the vertical axis upward to capture it. 🫠

Climate change would like to have a word about the future…

People are still complaining after that race? I was dialed in from start to finish.

I want to make sure I’m downloading the correct malware. I don’t want just any random compromised ISO - I want the official one!

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a policy answer to the question either. We appear to be incapable as a species of coordinating on a scale this size. Unless the solution is fairly convenient for a majority of us of course. Then it’s smooth sailing.

I say this often in climate threads but - buckle the fuck up people. We’re about to kick this thing into overdrive.

Seems like a reasonable use of the word intelligence honestly. Giving robots an innate understanding of the limitations of their bodies and how to safely navigate around those limitations to accomplish tasks.

As someone who was deeply skeptical about LLM tooling for a long time, Claude has been a game changer at work. I don’t know exactly how to feel about that, but it’s inarguably true. And the difference in capability between the smaller models and the larger premium ones like Opus are...

Incorrect. Not to be pedantic, but this part really does matter. The total amount of carbon is going up at all times. It’s never not been going up since we industrialized. The rate of increase has changed in this one place. Big deal. It’s still accelerating over all. But the big...

The earth system gives precisely 0 fucks about the rate of emissions by country. It cares about the total amount of carbon in the atmosphere - full stop. We’re arguing over the arrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic again.

You think that’s demotivating? These changes all needed to happen >10 years ago to be meaningful. This is just a last burst of acceleration as we approach the edge of the cliff. But anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday! 🫠

No, I’m certain you’re mistaken. The President of the United States has rolled back all of those nonsense regulations that were forcing manufacturers to develop electric, you see. Absent the gub’ment telling them to do so, manufacturers will be free to design what everyone really wants - large...

Fair, but… would that actually be a problem? The issue with using AI to write things is primarily that it will write things that aren’t true. If someone uses it as essentially “advanced MS Word auto correct”, I don’t really see the problem. They’ve put their own original ideas on paper and...

Anyone else find it hilarious to accuse someone of using AI to communicate highly specific technical information that AI probably does not have in its training corpus? “Ok, ChatGPT, ARS has asked me for an article and I want to save time by having you do it. So let’s spend several hours (days...

From the gist of the article it really does seem to be the two-pronged attack on their energy budget that is the real problem. 35 million years ago they were undisputed apex predator species. Warmer waters may have imposed limitations on them, but that was likely the only significant...
