in 2024, "ruined lives" is often a bit of an exaggeration. I clicked into this thinking, did their paychecks get halted for a few weeks or months? That would just really suck if a programming bug caused so many people's finan

extremely sobering. and also mirroring so many of my own personal feelings. the article is now over 6 years old. I'll repeat what the author says-- I don't know what to think anymore. It's like finding a glitch in the matrix

it depends on how much charging you want. all EV's can charge off of a slower 115vac 15amp circuit. At my last place I had a dedicated 40amp 230vac socket much like you'd have installed for a big electric heater in a garage or a p

I’ve worked at a few companies that also are just super slow about removing job listings that get filled. There is not much incentive to drop it, and lots of different incentives of leaving it up.

I'm imagining a not-so-distant future where LLM's start to need daycare services and places for them to go and hang out at, social media sites. An occupied LLM is less likely to become skynet maybe? :)
