The original iPhone was amazing to use. Yes on paper the Nokia destroyed it, as my roommate thoroughly tried to convince me, but browsing the web with multitouch was a revelation and just made the Nokia feel like an archaic tool.

I mean, is that even a strawman? You can oppose mass AI surveillance and acknowledge the price of that is more crime.

I saw Sonic 2 and 3 at a dollar theater this summer with my kid. Both were shockingly entertaining.

I’m not sure how you can read that Wright Brothers wiki article and come away thinking patents worked in America’s favor…

To me it seems kind of arrogant that we assume only “we” are conscious beings. Sometimes I imagine the planet earth itself as a creature, and humans on it a kind of bacteria… how ridiculous if bacteria in the human body were convinced only

For much of history, humanity was very confident that animals lacked minds or conscious experience. Descartes famously regarded them as mindless machine… I don’t think LLMs are conscious but I’m still nice to them because it makes me feel

Reading this thread I am so frickin glad I built a monster DDR4 workstation back in 2021. It would cost me more to build out that computer today (dual 3090s, 512GB ECC, 3995wx). Ram was so cheap back then.

The filibuster is the only thing protecting us right now from the worst of the laws Trump is pushing. Yeah I know it’s not “real” but lots of things about our govt aren’t “real” as Trump has demonstrated. I thought Presidents didn’t have po

Other than Dems having a super majority for a few weeks with Obama, when was the last time they were “voted in” at a national level? Biden did a pretty good job cleaning up after Trump. Was he perfect? Not even close. But Dem primary voters

Jerome Powell would’ve communicated in a mealy mouthed and confusing way that was meant to appease Trump? I’ve had quite enough of Trump’s “meritocracy”, personally.

A single, untreated person with TB will infect 1.5 to 4 people if public health interventions don’t happen. Measles sits at 12 to 18 people per infected person. In case anyone was curious. Depending on what your priors were, 1.5 to 4 migh

They’re talking about evidence-based solutions to the issue, yes. Discipline is probably the wrong word. Expecting teenagers to be disciplined is a fool’s errand.

Probably so, but it was incredibly ill advised of Netflix to admit to this. That’s what I find the most shocking, far more than the firing itself. I cannot fathom how admitting “yeah we fired them for going to therapy” plays to their bene

I strongly agree with you here. People are also no-selling the enormous cost of the exploit, which OpenAI conveniently hasn’t released, or at least I can’t find such an accounting. You can already buy politicians for relatively cheap, corpo

This sounds like the standard marketing we get every time a new major model is released: "sure, the public model might not be that scary, but you don't wanna know how crazy smart our internal models are." Okay. I remember t

Regulation like this is dangerous for the US because it can kneecap our country, but I don’t think it’ll affect the pace of innovation globally. China isn’t going to slow down just because the Trump administration asked for some “ballroom d
