If most of the jobs its creating are related to construction of infrastructure then that's not really positive news as these jobs are temporary, once demand settles then why kind of jobs are going to be created? It might be benefiting

Emotions aren't all learned, a lot of it comes wired in us because that's how we relate to others as a species and as animals, in general. Being angry, being happy, being sad, these are not things we learn. What we learn is how to

its definitely a meme feature but I use it here and there to estimate ambient temperature (by measuring different surfaces). also use it to measure the temperature of the bath, things like that. definitely could do without, but its a fun fe

Personally I do consider them a negative because they are not really realistic and grounded when giving reviews. It's a different story if it's a person that's used a device that they bought for a year. But these tech youtube

Now a days I'd say discord is the best. I've been running my server for about 6 years already, and it's a pretty strong community of around 20 or so people. Sometimes we get new people, not everyone is a perfect fit and they

If someone you call a "friend" ditches you just like that. I think maybe you're too quick to call people friends. Yes, online people can disappear, but I have online friends whom I've been talking to for the past 12 year

corporations are the closest we have to AGI, why would we want to do something like that again is beyond me.

There's more to ads than banners and unskippable videos. I bet if you open YouTube, even with Adblock and sponsorblock, you'll see ads. "Tech" channels are nothing but ads because all they do is present products for peop

Grimmory is pretty good as a calibre alternative. I use that and connect through the OPDS to koreader. Works well.

I find the battery life on boox tablets to be pretty poor. At least with my usage. Its kind of annoying to have to be charging every other day. I think I've only had to charge the xteink x4 a couple times since I got it in March. But t

you'd have to take the DRM out of the books, convert them to epubs and then transfer them. its an involved process but that's always going to be that way on any e-reader that's not a kindle (or android based, where you can in

They're working with the crosspoint team. The official hardware (if you buy through their website or amazon) is not blocked. Only Aliexpress offerings. But yes, they are coming with a FRONTlit option. Although it'll also have a to

Agriculture is the most important set of techniques and technologies in human history, it gave us the possibility of staying in a place. There's also fire. Writing was very important, I'm not so sure about industrialization, maybe

Theres a big problem, which has been described by many philosophers and political theorists (from socrates to Machiavelli) which is that politicians are first and foremost self-serving. Most political work is not done for the population as

I think the problem I see with your argument is that people simply do not value reliable and secure consumer software as much as they'd value reliable and secure airplanes. Of course, software that is in charge of things where people v

That's not why they're selling. They're selling because people love to record other people, publicly, without shame. It's kind of like a go-pro, is the use case for these. The creepers exist but they're not enough p

The first ai IPO is spaceX. Its already not anthropic or openAI. But there might still be some water in the well for the second one, there definitely won't be for the third one.

sort of sounds like "project tapestry" by Yann LeCunn. Build projected data silos of highly valuable information, train in a distributed manner and share the weights upwards where they're combined and fine tuned.

precisely, also, if you don't need to charge the device for weeks, months even, you're probably gonna lose the specialised cable. a usbc is so easy to come by, you're never going to have to wait for amazon to deliver the cabl

I have a boox device (go Color 7 gen 2) and the battery life is not good for an ereader. For a tablet, it's fine I guess but I actually get more battery life from my actual tablet than this little ereader. it lasts a day if youre readi

Its not physically possible to have eink (based on inked beads, like the current e-reader has) and backlight. only frontlight is possible.

if its still as open, I'm pretty sure the touchscreen can be worked out to work well. but I really agree with you, I'd love to have a frontlight on it. That's literally all I'd wanted over the current device. No touchscr

One thing I don't like about California based companies is how cringe the names always are. "Jalapeño" is such a bad name, having an "ñ" already makes it difficult and annoying to deal with in so many little ways. G

its not very expensive for a company like Meta to create a platform like this that could see them extract value as a middleman passively for a while. despite the ethics of it, business wise it pays for itself, and because of the complicated

Open weight models from Chinese labs tend to be significantly cheaper. I think theyre absolutely needed. I can't afford 200 USD a month for personal use of coding AI, and I don't think such prices are reasonable for most of the wo

Its natural for companies to push boundaries for better and better profits. It's sort of their nature. Things might be fine in Australia and NZ right now, but as the hydric crisis deepens we might see a need for government to step up.

A country that is a thousand years old is obviously going to have to change its constitution. European countries have gone from massive societal changes to massive societal changes (for example from monarchies to republics). The USA is a ne
