I would only buy consoles after they had been out a few years, mid to late lifetime of the console, the primary benefit was it's nice to have in the living room instead of on a desk. Most of the games I bought were used or on sale. All

I don't think they shifted their stance, I think the stances of the left and right shifted around them. For example I remember during Trumps first term they announced a rather sensible stance on the internet/net neutrality via an

a few months back I had a similar thought and started working on a language that was really verbose and human readable, think Cobal with influences from Swift. The core idea was that this would be a business language that business people wo

I imagine the ones that want to move to Canada are not the 'merica' types and would fully agree with you on most of those points.

I'm still in the process of having to write letters to lawmakers about the stupid 3D printer law, now I'm going to have to write letters for this stupid thing too. Like how hard is it to take a day to have a conversation with some

I keep thinking about something like a search engine integration that would suggest relevant bookmarks at the top of your search results. It might have been even cooler back when we had things like delicio.us and if we could have gotten rec

This is bullshit. It's a clear power grab to re-seize democratized means of production, and added surveillance. Both suck. The proposed bill in Washington is even worse, and blanket bans nearly any kind of machining or manufacturing th

I always kinda figured that AGI would need to be sort of similarly modeled like a brain, for which LLMs could at least fit the function for language. Meaning AGI won't be LLM based, but maybe parts of it could be.

I've seen quite a bit of this too, the other thing I'm seeing on reddit is I guess a lot of people really liked 4.5 for things like worldbuilding or other creative tasks, so a lot of them are upset as well.

I think a lot of our diseases if looked at genetically instead of symptoms-wise that we will probably find out that it's actually multiple conditions that we just group together for manifesting in similar ways. I've felt this in m

More likely the profit would then be in dealing with animal husbandry types of modifications instead. Cows/chickens that don't get sick, that kind of thing.

If LLama goes away we would still get models from China that don't respect the laws that shut down LLama, at least until China is on top, they will continue to undercut using open source/model. Either way, open models will continu
