At this point, I've got no idea which one to buy. They should provide a configurator and be done with it. I want this much RAM. this CPU. this GPU. this touch screen. this size. What options? None? what if I remove touch? ok good ther

Perhaps there needs to be ai.news... then let the AIs talk and interact there in a safe place.

This is an amendment I'd add to those rules to allow. There are other ways of storing energy but battery banks are the obvious one. Works well with shedding excess as well.

I have a different perspective. You'll probably hate it. AI data centers should be operated according to two limiting factors. 1) No energy from grid. Can't use coal or fossil fuel energy sources. Must have plan to provide excess

Plenty of people would have used this purely for Cardfile. em-dosbox is a good project.

Matrix is looking better by the minute. Anything from other people's experience? I haven't used it at all.

Don't be afraid of if-then chains. Smile and put the word REFACTOR in a comment nearby and move on to the next problem. Ship the thing! Perfectionism is overrated.

For the built-in web-browser instance it likely contains by now.

Why is the sky blue? rayleigh scattering. what's that? light from sun bouncing around. why? because it does. why is it blue though? green was taken. why? do you want chocolate or raspberry icecream? chocolate! yay! (No, this isn't

Which reminds me that its time to dust off my old FORTH and make a proper calculator out of it.

I find some calculations easier to reason about using either RPN or algebraic. Its entirely context driven. Playing with APL has really changed the way I look at both.

I'd like other war stories like this on HN. Considering this is a YC website I'd expect more.

Other alternatives that aren't exactly "just as a tool": * people who use it instead of search engines. * people who use it as a doctor/therapist/confidant. Not to research. But as a practitioner. There are others:

This is all money that is reducing expenditure elsewhere. I get it: capitalism and economics. Yet I still think humanity could do better and I think capitalism itself suffers. Economics theory is broken if it thinks this is good for society

"Must have 5 years experience in blah" kind of thing? But then you look for 4, 3, 2, 1 years of experience positions and its... now what? so you look for other roles so you can jump from one to another. Thats the candidate side to

Is this a case of them not letting people apply and therefore they are finding it hard to find applicants?

All these stories about people using llms and hitting it big almost overnight make me feel dumb. I'm sure others feel the same. Probably FOMO. My sense of using LLMs for coding is me feeling like a maintenance programmer even though th

RISC-V via librisc implies a lot of untapped potential. There's C/C++ and a bunch of others usable inside that. Python/Ruby/Erlang et all still have a lot of horsepower so I'd not discount them yet.

I'd have already used the year-at-once calendar and put a little photo on their day. Do you need further instructions?

Targeting 8-bit Apple, Computes gazette published a stack of magazines and books especially introductory. Rodney Zaks did a bunch as well. Personally I'd approach it using a raspi + python + pygame. Learn the fundamentals there then sw

Plenty of LLMs are doing tasks that plain SQL, If-then-chains or rules in general engine could do. This doesn't mean a LLM can't build such things however.
