It's a great game to play with friends. Explore, find cool animals, and most of all - build your fantasy space home. It's relaxing, fun, and can be a great shared experience. I imagine it wouldn't be quite as engaging complet

To take advantage they'd have to do some form of price fixing which in most places is a very big footgun. I honestly don't think they need to fix their prices, and it's possible that selling to consumers is a secondary market

To be honest, running Deepseek v4 flash 0731 is enough for most what I need, and I like its responses way more. It's crazy that I can run this in a Q8 quantization in a home setup. It feels and performs like a frontier model. The only

Please read my edit. The quote is definitely about Hamas, PIJ and other militant groups in Gaza. To reiterate, I don't support Ben Gvir. But I also strongly oppose disinformation which seems to be the case here.

But only one side did October 7th and seems like they had more than sticks and stones. It would appear as if someone (Hamas) decided to literally put every penny they had into weaponizing Gaza, even going as far as tearing water pipes out o

Games are a different product altogether. Game developers want to have fun and create a fun experience. Security is almost always something they'd avoid if they could. They'd rather spend the time on more polish, juice or play tes

First of all, Facebook is not even the worst offender. That'd have to go to X and TikTok. Rage bait, propaganda, and straight up bad actors with money pushing their agenda. If you got angry because of a TikTok video, you are being expl

After spending years with the major OS families, I think that Linux is the only one which had the right ideas and was able to keep an efficient solution working for decades. Brew and other MacOS package managers are a testament to this. Pac

The job of code like this is going to serve as a makeshift spec for future coding agents, so they extract the intended use and redo it on command. Better models will be able to improve the actual code until you hit some diminishing returns

A few points worth contending. First, personal flying vehicles are definitely not going to be a common mode of transportation. If and when this happens, it will be for ultra rich, select few people, effectively replacing a private helicopte

It's true that the old web was personal, fun, experimental, and in many ways quite whimsical. There was a sense of discovery, sharing, and being in the verge of a new era. Like many others, I miss it dearly. But I also don't think

For most of the 80s and 90s people didn't care about being online. It was kind of the opposite of gatekeeping, people immediately labeled computer users as geeks, nerds, socially inept freaks, etc. These labels took decades to wear off

This is about control, not security. As in, Google's control over your device, your experience, your features and choices. This and Google just isn't interested in supporting an open OS anymore. Maybe they think it makes them liab

This was a fun read, however, I feel that the actual essence is quite thin. It can be summarized in a short sentence: The cost comes from being always prepared with teams and equipment, and few privately insured riders subsidizes everyone e

If the problem is that there are too many AI slop papers, then requiring real human input and feedback can help reduce these numbers. Let's say you have to defend your paper in person before you submit it, it will cut slop submissions

Isn't this hilarious: > A patent as well as a design and model registration have been made to protect the technical architecture and design of Openprinter. So, open as in OpenAI.

Solving the paper submission is easy. Just hold frontal interview where the submitter defends their paper. They can't create papers every day and still be knowledgeable about them in depth. We are hurling to a reality where the only no

There are a few issues here that should be addressed. There's the AI hype and deafening echo chambers, but then there's also the actual value you can find in AI when you just try it a little bit quietly. I totally disagree with th

There's a lot of offensive security talent, but this has nothing to do with Palestinians. Israeli intelligence is very advanced and is why Israel has been able to eliminate the leaders of Hezbollah and Iran. Not everything in Israel is

While I share the sentiment, this feels like an extreme, nuclear reaction which might be irreversible. I understand the fatigue, and resentment, but if you are about to be a family, you are going to find that typewriters aren't the acc

Nice writeup. It goes deep into Gnutella, but it's also worth mentioning the slew of sharing programs back then, which was truly like the wild west. Napster, Emule, DC++, Kazaa, to name a few. On many of these networks it was possible

I don't see any value discussing which set of rules and outcomes is better because it's all nonsense. To be honest, I did have some very in depth conversations with religious friends, and it was enlightening. I am convinced that f

Arguably, all the industries that you mentioned (clothing, food, automotive) have the same symptoms, doing everything possible to increase growth even (and often) at the expense of shipping worse products. At least, this has been my experie

My point is AI is not going to be built to "benefit humanity" because that's not the incentive in our economy. AI might give us some benefits, but like all tech products currently, it will be designed to benefit corporations

In my way of life, the idea that people follow and care deeply about what some mullah has to say is very foreign. There's a mass of these people though. Their life must be so incredibly different than mine, it's just hard to fatho
