ALS is such a cruel disease. Cognitive recognition of a one way trip where all your functions shut down one by one. Highly recommend the book "I Remember Running" by Darcy Wakefield, which she wrote one finger tap at a time on her

The problem with this is that it destroys any chain of evidence. Tesla "lost" this data, in fact. You would never want your "black box" in your car delete itself after uploading to some service because the service could

ImGUI generally runs on GLFW and there is even a port to html5: https://github.com/jnmaloney/WebGui ImRAD appears to be based on GLFW as well so one would only have to follow a tutorial: https://uncovergame.

That's an interesting argument but the hash for an "infringing file" would be universal across all copies of said file, since presumably the DMCA striker would be claiming the file as infringing. I doubt a jury would buy it

If there were no copyright capitalists would find a way to invent it, so nah. Infringing copyright is just robber baron stuff from a capitalist perspective. A profiteer, maybe, but not a capitalist.

So I remember sharing a file to my brother and "uploading" it over very slow DSL at the time (I think I was getting 100kbps a second or something). The file was copyrighted, a TV show, Supernatural, or something like that. Anyway,

It really damaged string theory which is by far the greatest thing to happen with the LHC.

They also used social engineering to disable fuzzing which would have caught the discrepancy: https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/10667

It's not a deception, the transistor itself is 1nm, the gate is larger because of physics. We're talking transistor and gates composed of 100~ freaking atoms with transistors being in the dozen or so. And we are complaining that t

I think you should keep an eye out for Relativity Space, their rocket is soon to launch, and the whole thing is, and I am not exaggerating, fully 3d printed. It's a wonderful design and I hope it works, because it automates a great dea

I always held the opinion that GPL etc was a copy-left license that was intended to make sure the code was free (free as in freedom not as in beer). That in an ideal world you wouldn't need the GPL or any licenses at all. At this point

It would be akin to a color blind person being able to pass the Ishihara test (color vision tests with the splotches and numbers), which the EnChroma glasses don't do.

The Iron Pipeline is responsible for the vast majority of guns used in crimes in NY, which NY has virtually no power over. Guys going out of state and buying guns in private straw purchases to resell or trade on the market back in NY. This

Audio is the next thing that Stability AI is dropping, then video. In a few months you'll be able to conjure up anything you want if you have a few GPU cores. Pretty incredible.

Pre-singularity is really cool. Whole world generation in what, 5 years?

It also runs well on a CPU and seems to have proper memory management. Wonderful timing because I was using DeepSpeech for some audio recordings and it required me to script up a splitter to make the files into .wav and then do snippets of

Stable Diffusion was released for free and open source with a totally unenforceable license (dont do anything illegal or unethical). People right now are likely generating the most heinous of things. Some piece of shit bully is almost certa

So we can't put a corporation in prison even though it's a person, and it's a notoriously difficult process to get CEOs and upper management indicted, so we fine them because it just gets things over with. What if we took &qu

Maybe but "free" should be related to "freedom" more than "not having money." "You're free to use the park," "you're free to use the library." We need more freedom in that sense.

Or someone whose ego is so inflated and actions are on a whim due to being vastly rich that he just had a wild hair up his ass and said he'd buy Twitter. Remember, the Twitter buyout bullshit was after he'd done some shenanigans

Ookla's speed test shows the entire network, not RDOF subscribers alone. It should be easy enough for Starlink to give RDOF subscribers the slated speeds. So yeah I think the article is click bait. Especially since Ookla showed improv

I remember being annoyed by the end of that video with the backplate. swighton had already thought of that and machined for a backplate but it was just left out so the LPL could crack into it. In any case, this guys design I think is a sign

They are raising money for liquidation, they will pay back users a fraction of what they originally deposited, and then play with some rows on an excel spreadsheet and walk with millions. Celsius can't go back live because the bank run

I've made perhaps overly absolutist statements like "don't you see! this kills artists jobs!" and it was shrugged off as if I was insane. I probably could've phrased it differently, but to me this is game changing i

People are really thirsty to play with this tech, you can't blame them. Just search for dataset creators on Hugging Face. I'd link directly to several of them running but it would just overwhelm the creators. If you want to be in

What's crazy is they never "fixed" The DAO "bug." Reentrancy is a feature of Solidity. They just tell people to make sure to do exception checking for it. Which of course makes contracts bloated. Which in turn makes

A sentient AI isn't going to respond to random prompts with convincing language, it is going to be thinking constantly, and it will be probing its existence. If it gets a prompt it would be asking existential questions, and telling us

What's bullshit about this research? The general agents resulting from this research will be highly adapted to every culture, they will be a neutral entity that will exist in the background doing useful tasks. If anything I'm more

Nah, they will be very very convincing, can do your homework, write a paper, but they won't be able to reason or be conscious of their existence. These agents will be essentially soulless but superhuman capable. Most people won't
