And the reason they get enough electricity is because people did the same scare tactics in the 70's against nuclear.

We can cure Cancer. No wait nevermind, actually slow us down. If we are actually close to ASI then no one in their right mind would say slow down

Models will be a commodity > good at its job just use it instead of re-inventing the wheel Exactly why is everyone reinventing a harness every month. There will be Microslop / Oracle harnesses and there will be 1 or 2 open source o

A model is just another thing to plugin to a harness. I don't give it much more thought than that. If developers are still caught up on Claude Code, or Codex that's just not a long term thing. It's best to develop workflow

Why would any company want coding data now? It's all garbage. I'd be surprised if anything past 2025 is even used for training.

My biggest problem with Zed right now is the font rendering doesn't look that good on MacOS. To me Sublime Text always had the best font rendering on Mac. Electron slowly over the years has gotten better and decent now. Zed just doe

Here we go again. Autopilot != FSD. Autopilot is not "autonomous" driving. It's lane keep with adaptive cruise control. The same system that Honda, Toyota, etc have. Yes the naming is wrong, the marketing is bad, but I d

I had bleeding, light red, most likely from hemorrhoids (it was), but had a few other factors that the doctor took it seriously. The insurance didn't cover much as far as I know (or any?). Owed like $1800.

Yea good point. My doctor said he would see a non sedated like once every 2 weeks or so. Would be better to go to one that does it more frequently.

haha, didn't catch that

Yea most of the time it was discomfort but the turns were pretty high up there in pain. But that was only 3 times.

North Carolina. And I wasn't actually aware that some doctors wouldn't do until after I had it done (reading about it online). I just called before my appointment to say I didn't need sedation. They said ok and wrote it do

They need to lower the screening to 40. I just had mine at 40, turned out fine luckily. Did it without sedation which my doctor said was rare in US, but common outside of US. I found surprising, wasn't that big of a deal. Pain was

Oh sorry: *text predictor that feeds text back into text predictor

Ok that's different then. LLM, by definition, can't be AGI. But AGI can be AGI with another technology.

AGI? My guy, it's a text predictor slot machine. Very useful tool but will never be AGI.

Because people think it's "intelligent" because it's manipulating words and you get people like Andrew Yang and Elon Musk getting one-shotted by it. Yes, it can solve a lot of things, but an LLM isn't going to put e

At worst, this would only be temporary. Yes, it will cause hardship, but once it trickles down to regular companies, that an LLM is a word predictor, workers will be back. Seems Andrew Yang has never used an LLM to the lengths we do as so

Yes, but it's much worse than that because it makes multiple workspaces essentially unusable. Try them on Windows or any Linux desktop. When a window is also an application it makes handling them much more seemless. Not to mention t

Mac has always had horrible window management. Made worse because applications and windows are a separate concept. Used to seem clever but in the world of multiple workspaces it's a terrible decision. Now it's even worse trying

It's not temporary though. The Covid vaccine push has caused an entire generation to now doubt simple life-saving vaccines. They erased a century of goodwill.

by dham 7mo ago
To be fair, a lot of doctors were sounding the alarm in 2021 that forcing the Covid shot was going to cause blow back. They said word for word, that we might see the rise of measles and other similar diseases. It's actually very well

It's not so much the writing of the code (which I did like), it's the aesthetic of the code. It's solving a problem with the right code and the right amount of code (for now). That's still the case, even with AI writin

My car has driven me back and forth with no issues for 6 months now. But yes it's been a long time coming.

What infrastructure has gone through the last 15 years would like a word. Half the people I work with can't do imperative jQuery interfaces. So what I guess. I can't code assembly.

If the camera is covered or blocked, you can't drive plain and simple, as you can't drive a car (at least on Earth) with just Lidar. The roads are made for eyes. Maybe on Rocky's homeworld you can have a Lidar only system f

by dham 7mo ago
Lidar is a moot point. You can't drive with just Lidar, no matter what. That's what people don't understand. The most common one I hear: "What if the camera gets mud on it", ok then you have to get out and clean

Good ole Autopilot vs FSD post. You would think people on Hacker News would be better informed. Autopilot is just lane keep and adaptive cruise control. Basically what every other car has at this point. "MacOS Tahoe has these cool f
