I doubt anyone here has planted a tree. We talk of action and do nothing. Every time I mention trees, I am told that instead we need expensive contraptions made out of mined materials, that usually require an external source of power. Inste

This is not a solution or in any way clever. Critical ignoring of wrongthink is praised, while critical ignoring of the winning party is punished.

Call me cynical but my immediate impression that the gamedev is lying and exploiting the perceived asymmetry between the indie dev and the behemoth that is Steam. Attaching your game to controversy around AI is a great way to generate discu

For what it's worth, I don't think using Signal or Threema is enough to make you an E2EE enthusiast, and wanting to speak without your speech later used against you is maybe the purest reason for E2EE. I meant more so the type of

I was very unclear, sorry about that. The bulk of my comment addresses the content of the comment section here, not your article. Comments about how data collection can be used to manipulate behavior are woefully fatalistic. I want to chall

I find it tiresome that blogposts about privacy always end up devolving into a discussion about how data can be used against individuals. There is a flip side to that coin, which is the individual's free will. Every one of us here choo

What does this mean for customers of Meta, Microsoft, and PayPal? Are we consenting to having our data more carefully handled?

I've never used micro, but if you look at the default keybindings[0], you'll see they're very Windows-y and might be to your liking. As for myself, I don't see cut-to-character or select-to-character like in vim, and yan

Probably not what the parent poster was talking about, but fear is a great inhibitor. Excessively high standards for documentation and depth of scope might inhibit less experienced engineers, and nitpicking about scope is a pointless waste

Odd. The high memory bandwidth of M2 intrigues me but I have not seen many people having success with AI apps on Apple Silicon. Which LLMs run better on Apple silicon than comparably priced Nvidia cards?

The post is short so I'll paste it here. If this is against the rules please ban me. -----begin copy paste----- The 4600G is currently selling at price of $95. It includes a 6-core CPU and 7-core GPU. 5600G is also inexpensive - around

It is not the same. The US government does not partially own Instagram or Twitter, and I've never seen pro-US narratives driven on either platform. I usually see the opposite if anything.

I was disappointed that these robots simply move in a toddler-like fashion as they learn. I did not read anywhere in the article that AI agents learn from toddlers. If this is an attempt at clickbait then I'm doubly disappointed in the

I agree. The way I see it is that browser is more of an HTTP response viewer than a REST client.

Generally I agree with you, drivers get away with murder too easily, however in this case this woman's crime was not paying attention in a self driving car. What if instead she had been paying attention but applied the brakes too late,

This seems backwards to me in 2023. Logs seem like valuable data to train your AI on in order to automate as much of the basic inference away as possible.

This notion of security is stale. Real security is far more complex than this, requiring automated provisioning and logging. This is more suitable for a VPS or a personal VM than anything professional. Also installing acl just to use setfac

To break from the party line and parrot that E2E encryption is a human right for just a moment, does anyone else experience the same fatigue with communities on encrypted platforms? I've never found a good community on Tor, everyone on

Ben Greenfield, who is regarded as somewhat of a quack, has for a long time advocated for isometric exercise. I always found him interesting so I followed his blog for a while. I always thought the stuff about isometric exercise was bunk,

Naming issues and critiques of this new font aside, I'm glad the era of Calibri is coming to an end. What a horrible font that was, unparalleled in its ability to make any copy look like a high school writing assignment. At least Tim

From what I know about academia and the people who occupy positions within it, who function solely to gatekeep progress and then ship the bare minimum to keep their privileged positions, I look at articles like this one and roll my eyes.

My thoughts exactly. As long as reddit knows we can't quit on them, they've got us cornered. It's like a toxic relationship.

I imagine if you have your DNS records set up strongly enough it would warm up to your MTA's IP address rather quickly, but I have not tested this for a few years now.

I just have to say, this is pretty cyberpunk and I'm proud it's San Francisco. That said this comment is a bit low-value so I'll take my downvote if them's the rules.
