We have made peace with the dichotomy of a computer delivering AAA titles at 4k 144Hz while simultaneously struggling to render a few hundred comments on Substack.

I don't follow this line of reasoning. Would it have been meaningfully different if OP had used open-weight models like GLM or DeepSeek? Does it really matter considering we'll have superior models next quarter?

Is the solution to everything simply more catgirls [1]? Proof-of-work was, after all, about countering email spam. PR spam is but the latest in that long tradition. 1- https://anubis.techaro.lol

There are clearnet websites for flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, cults, hacker groups, classified document leakers, nazi groups and terrorist organisations. Finding a registrar that lets you say what you want is a solved problem.

A first year course at UNSW, COMP1521[1] teaches MIPS and uses QtSPIM. Far from dead, a package is maintained on the AUR[2]. [1] https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs1521 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages&#x2

I'm put off by how this is framed as a detective story. Pesticides that contain heavy metals and other carcinogens are a well known issue, with India (and South Asia more generally) being the worst affected. > You'll never gues

Not just UI, but performance as well. It is absolutely inexcusable if your app struggles with loading text and images on modern hardware. It's the computational equivalent of exploding a hydrogen bomb to open a chocolate wrapper.

You must be new to crypto. This is standard operating procedure. These scammers are everywhere and they're hard to miss. It's common to have fake or hacked youtube channels - often with hundreds of thousands of subscribers - brand

Funny because growing up in the tropics I thought sunset and sunrise were synonymous with those times of the day, and learning people in other parts of the world experienced shrinking/lengthening day/night cycles was mind blowing.

Let me get this straight, NOT A SINGLE DOLLAR of donations are used to fund development for Firefox!? How many are under the false impression of "helping Firefox" when in reality their donations are used to fund advocacy campaigns

You haven't defined this property you call "agency". How then can you definitely determine whether you posses it or that someone else doesn't? The only thing I can be assured of is my own existence.

It is likely there is something of interest on your phone (as signed by my friend Joe). Now unlock your phone or you will be jailed.

Sublime Text used to be my go-to editor when I didn't need a full fledged IDE. A rare gem in an arena of slow mammoths. I've since switched over to Lite XL, which is FOSS, just as fast (if not faster), and the plugins cover nearly

More than just words. I've found LLMs immensely helpful for searching through the latent space or essence of quotes/books/movies/memes. I can ask things like "whats that book/movie set in X where Y happens&quot

Classic survivorship bias. You simply don't recognise the good ones.

Even assuming a perfectly efficient government with good intentions, you should not expect to benefit from more than a fraction of your tax money if you are above median income.

And this would achieve what goal exactly? Even more search result sanitizing? Google scrubbing everything even remotely controversial from their search results because it might "harm" someone? No thank you, I value access to infor

What would "additional confirmation" look like? Are audio/video recordings I take with my phone going to be useless in a decade because deepfakes are virtually indistinguishable and there is no "additional confirmation&q

Possibly just anecdotal evidence, but it seems like the pool of good music composers is much much smaller than the pool of good visual artists. Maybe that is an indicator of how "hard" each field is.

I agree with your sentiment but just a nitpick - tasks considered "easy" by humans aren't necessarily easy to automate and vice versa. Eg. beating a computer at recognizing trash vs beating a pocket calculator at 6734100522 *

I have always found questions like "when are we going to use this" repulsive. It is the mark of an individual who sees themselves as little more than a slave, forced to learn things to stay useful. The logical conclusion of this w

I've noticed that unless you spell out channel names, you will only be shown videos from verified/checkmark accounts, no matter how far down you scroll. The only way to see videos made by "the people" is restricting sear

We are witnessing the last years of the human internet. In the near future AI generated news reports, articles, blogs, comments and eventually even pictures and videos will become increasingly indistinguishable from that produced by real hu

Agreed, without this shared basic structure from birth we would never be able to make sense of any of our sensory inputs of sight/sound/etc, let alone learn a language. Being born with a "clean slate" mind would make int
