freakin Qualcomm isn't faring much better w/the Snapdragon X/X2 Elite... they were supposed to be on board w/Linux, yet I dare someone who's a newb install Ubuntu on a Snapdragon box the same way they would on a Thi

I got the same capabilities from mxroute.com, another worthwhile alternative - hosted in the USA. Plus they offer a no subscription, 10GB one time fee (I think $150 at the time I got it) account...unlimited domains/subdomains, etc -ev

i use it, but i could re-create everything the AI produced, it just takes me longer (I'm a dev). And yeah, that latter part of your sentence is what freaks me out - that someone thinks they can start thinking like a dev because they h

I guess it was only a matter of time before this niche of business developed. AI is an imprecise "programming" language, full of ambiguity (English) trying to produce precise relationships between different concepts. It certainly

nephesh (נֶפֶשׁ), is a word in the Hebrew bible that the KJV (English) renders as "soul" hundreds of times, and it also translates the very same word as "life," "person," "creature," "self"

> the moment an artificial inteligence is going to "receive" a soul, is the moment it is going to be made to sustain itself. You should try your hand at sci-fi writing. You may be onto something there. You seen Westworld?

Easily one of my top 10 favorite episodes. The judge broached on the subject of what makes us distinct from Data (e.g. machines w/great heuristics) - the existence of a soul. Or rather, I'd like to think, in the words of CS Lewis,

Thank you, human being! Have you looked at the price of a RTX 5090? I can get a used car for that.

Not quite. You have machines that can aid and expand your (human) understanding greatly, that wasn't possible without machines. Machines don't think. They aren't human. They have no soul, agency/free will, self-reflectio

Curious, what type of code and in what language do you write that the compiler wouldn't take care of this without you even trying?

And they will soon find out that world's make believe. No one I know, and I know hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of people would allow themselves in a room to be recorded surreptitiously.

Sounds like Windows needs to undergo a similar evolution, or rather, renewal as what OS 9 did moving to OS X. I'm not sure what that might look like, but the easiest route is to probably rebase Windows atop Linux, with a WINE emulation

this is the extent to what I use any LLM - they're really good at looking up just about anything, in natural language, and most of the time even the first hit, without reprompting, is a pretty decent answer. I used to have to sort thru

Nothing against emacs, but check out NeoVIM. If you like Emacs, you might like NeoVIM and its powerful extensibility features.

Reminds me of one of my favorite ST: TNG episodes, "The Measure of a Man" - I urge anyone who read this note to watch this episode. Ultimately it comes down to the question of whether machines, regardless of how smart they can be

Just hire Chinese engineers who were born/raised here. It would meet the DEI quota and decrease the chance of industrial espionage. No guarantees, but I think this would help.

The source to Signal is open to analysis if you doubt its security. I suspect they C&D forks because they don't follow coding/security practices as upstream does, and it would be too hard to ensure they would if they just let

Rumor has it, it may eventually replace Linux as the underlying OS to Android/ART. By now I'm thinking G's leadership is realizing the epic undertaking it would mean to bring Fuchsia to maturity... and I give Fuchsia a 50&#x2
