Peoples' takes on life can be so weird. The problems arent AI or any other tech, its human. This book seems like a waste of paper.

I don't think Kim Dotcom or Palantir are trustworthy. So the information is useless in the sense that it could be truth or lies. The only people who this information might be useful to are probably spies for other countries that would

Most normies dont want to set up their own mail server, they just want to log into a "service" that allows them to send/recv mail. Thats how companies insert themselves into peoples lives, as a low friction and often free way

Not trusting should be you're default stance. Then you can be pleasantly surprised when they do the right thing.

one thing ive always wondered about these type of projects is how do you debug them? gdb at runtime? printf statements? i mean when im debugging python i mainly rely on print() and log files so i guess that would work. its been a long time

good advice, im yet to take the plunge into robotics but it seems like the way you make things move is with motors so best to learn about those, how to power them, how to control them, then stick a bunch of them together in a coordinated wa

So I can keep track of your wonderful comment, I'd like to add that looking up "banana republic", I realised Australia seems to fit that description perfectly! The latest crop they've come up with seems to be housing, bu

Its frustrating, because if it was actually something new (as in original) then we could start talking about AGI, but its never something new.

Even if gpts results are debatable and we sometimes dislike misapplications of ai where its not needed, it feels as though another milestone is being reached. the first was when they were initially released and everyone was amazed. this sec

People will have to vote for non-captured candidates (good luck finding them) or protest in large enough numbers that the system will change. Those people will also have to be critical thinkers to a degree that they can consciously push bac

Theres also the danger of microsoft being required to switch it off over sanctioning to your geographic region so be aware of that if you live outside the US

does it repeat? or is it like pi? -- oh the wiki says its an infinite sequence. that might be handy for generating pseudo random numbers i guess. i wonder if theres a function that generates the correct digit at position n? doh, wiki says t

im sure the responsibility for fixing everything will fall on all of us. maybe if we get another bin with a new coloured lid we can get busy sorting all our plastics into soft, hard, transparent, semi-opaque, labelled, bought before tuesday

this is refreshing. personally i do all my hobby stuff in C or Python. I could certainly use c++ if i wanted to but templates and cin/cout were such monumental jokes how can i trust the rest of the language? i too have contemplated wri

thats the most important thing i noticed about the article, apart from the forth tokenising ideas.

yeah i get the emotional push back but putting that aside, he still seems fairly well accomplished, more-so than me by a long shot and at least he is throwing nerdy ideas out there we can think about or discuss.

Borrowing from mechanical/electrical etc. Limit the number of things you can build with. An example in the comments here was a gear. You make a new gear based on examples of gears that work. So whats the software equivalent of a gear?

I love this. All these years I've been a privacy enthusiast lunatic, because ofc no-one has anything to hide. Now ad trackers are being potentially weaponised by the govt, and ofc no-one could have foreseen that. This is absolute gold.

Use ai as a database to help you get up to speed with the domain you're working with - its really good at that!, then write your own code. If youre learning you can then submit that code to ai and ask it for feedback. Though take all f

This!, its amazing how some people want to drag you into their world and have a huge discussion when all you want to do is point out some part of their idea your dont like.
