Woah dude I took a nap and woke up in 1995.

Heh. Link is wrong but here’s the text: Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city

Not to be this way but can you not go to a local jeweler and buy a ring with a lab-grown diamond in it, no assembly required?

AI coughed up a bunch of references that put their stockpile estimate at around a year. Might have been more at one time but nothing close to 100.

Everything you said is why I don’t agree with the idea that “everyone will be writing their own apps.” Can’t wait for a world full of apps as janky as most spreadsheets (or Access or FileMaker databases)

What a cool company. They’ve got the coolest nerdiest things. I’m loving the non-transitive dice. My son’s birthday is in (checks calendar) ten months, but he’s getting these dice now anyway. So cool.

> Worth stating because four documents now assert I got one too many chunks of this nonsense and told Claude to knock it off, forever. It acknowledged and wrote out some instructions to its memory about it. And what a breath of fresh air

What the American government funds with tax dollars should be chosen by the American people, via Congress. Choosing not to fund speech isn’t the same as prohibiting it. That said, “chosen by the American people” needs to be broad enough tha

> Their heuristics is opportunity of action My favorite burglar fact is robberies go way down when it’s raining. Thieves just don’t want the hassle of getting wet.

I sorta recall a game (midtown madness?) that included a Rand McNally fold up street map in the box. The world was so accurate you could give your buddy driving directions by using the actual map to navigate. I always respected that (for th

“It costs a lot to buy a new computer better than the one I have” is another way of saying “computers aren’t going obsolete as fast” which sounds like a great thing.

I’m curious when AI will be directly responsible for reducing the cost of anything. Not “if you use it it can make you more money” but “real, normal people are seeing a benefit, not from using AI but from something it was able to accomp

I hope there will always be an affordable paid option that comes with no ads. The news industry’s failure to address this is what ruined journalism. Every publication, whether they admit it or not, judges its content by number of clicks, wh

OT: there was a time when I could open my Usenet reader and go sequentially through each newsgroup I was subscribed to, scan the titles, read the interesting ones, mark the group as read, repeat, and in ~30-60 minutes be “caught up” on “eve

Because we’ve been sold the story that your house has to appreciate in value 2-3 times over the period you live in it, consequently, homeowners vote against anything that lowers housing costs.

There’s at least one distinction I didn’t see in the article. If a throbber is advanced by signals of progress or at least action, then it’s not useless and is arguably better than a progress bar that moves with unpredictable and uneven spe

The problem with politics is it’s not a meritocracy. You find abdicating your speech to an AI to be disqualifying, but to people who’ve already abdicated everything they do to AI, it’s folksy and relatable.

Car enthusiasts generally dislike automatic transmissions, despite their ubiquity and clear advantages for the population as a whole.

We have machines that can read our thoughts and act on our slightest whims. How come these brilliant machines can’t figure out how to make a hospital stay not cost $60,000? Or build a car for less than $30,000? Or keep a megalomaniac from

Yes please. This nonsense of agents controlling browsers where the user has logged into sites as themselves needs to die before it takes off.

Because it’s hard to transition from daily grind into peak hero. Hence, start when the hero is ordinary, like you are (I speak of the concept, not you in particular.)

Fascinating. I wonder what it would look like if you intentionally tried to create a VR experience optimized for creating this disruption. Does every game or experience have the same effect? If not what causes a greater or lesser impact on

Those “AI can’t do x” articles/videos are not aging well. I’m not sure why people keep thinking like that after seeing Will Smith eating pasta. Also, not for nothing but every one of those “AI got it wrong, it’s really ___” are… traini

The problem is people keep trying to regulate businesses by name instead of by the effects they have. If we had regulations on noise, vibration, emissions, water use, electromagnetic radiation, whatever else, then it wouldn’t matter what pe
