Was hoping this would actually mean any device. Until it does, I've had pretty good success with Bazzite ( https://bazzite.gg/ ) on some hand-me-down hardware and hooked up to the TV.

This is some serious cherry-picking at work. Look at the NIH grants listed, which by dollar value far outweigh the NSF grants listed: https://grant-watch.us/nih-data.html Which part of preventing the spread of HIV is "

Adding some context to this, because it's a really interesting read that's worth the time if you ask me: it's about how some recently 'discovered' early playtest versions of Pokemon cards were found to be fake, or a

Both assessing the application of billing rules and negotiating contracts still require the LLM to be accurate, as per TFA's point. Sure, an LLM might do a reasonable first pass, but in both cases it is absolutely naive to think that t

It disappoints me how easily we are collectively falling for what effectively is "Oh, our model is biased, but the only way to fix it is that everyone needs to give us all their data, so that we can eliminate that bias. If you think th

To put it simply: this is not adequately explained by stupidity.

Your conclusion of ~3L of gasoline is right, but it looks like you dropped a few zeroes on the way there - your example of 1x1x1m sunk 10km below the surface would be sitting beneath 10,000,000kg of mass, not 10,000kg. That would be 98,000k

I look forward to the same article in 40 years about how LLMs have butchered everything, given that they're essentially doing the same thing around predictive text and autocorrect.

I really like this as a way to repurpose old hardware; I have known many laptops that end up sitting around in cupboards after their 'useful' life is over, that could probably still comfortably be serving as lightweight desktops e

Big fan of Azgaar's - used it to build the world for my campaign. If anyone else who used it had issues a while back with an update (around 1.6) where biomes started showing over water, the solution is to clip water in the Styles tab f

(2019), but also this is an opinion piece that makes a lot of claims without any evidence beyond the libertarian ideology of its author. It should be no surprise that the federal government employs more people than Walmart; one deals in con

This is a key feature for me, and I'm disappointed that the Pixel 6 has gone for the in-display fingerprint sensor instead of the rear-mounted.

When social media companies are trying to make the media as addictive as possible to keep you scrolling and viewing ads, and employing psychological exploits to do so, it's not quite as simple as 'people can just choose not to use

Interesting implications and parallels for arguments about Section 230 in the US. I suspect this will lead to many more 'comments disabled', as the article itself notes: > One of the difficulties for the media groups at the ti

+1 for templates. The big hurdle I hit with every productivity app is getting it set up. I'd love to have some templates to play with, to find bits that work for me that I can copy from and stick together to end up with what I want. I&

My understanding is that the new law still requires a warrant, but that the warrant can be granted by an administrative tribunal rather than a judge - so technically what Fastmail are saying here about only acting on a warrant would be corr

I got an undergraduate degree in philosophy more than 10 years ago, and I would say it was absolutely worthwhile, and that it has improved my life substantially. Sure, I didn't get a job from a philosophy degree, but that's not re

If you flip the sexes, would you still be 'very hesitant' to go after these guards as rapists? If we were talking about 13 year old girls in detention having sex with adult male guards, and someone said "for the girls they do

Interestingly, Japan also had very lax IP laws as it was catching up to the rest of the world, which basically enabled it to do what China has been doing, and only really shifted to strong IP protections as it started to develop its own tec

As an Australian, and a Victorian, this article is inflammatory US-centric crap. The Australian state of Victoria, which has had some of the harshest lockdowns, has a bill of rights, and has had for some 15 years. https://en.wiki

I am happy to support this as well, though I would hope that the criticism would be taken as constructive and used to improve the design so that it can be both inclusive and safer than this initial concept.

In my experience, having previously been employed in a role where one of my objectives was to encourage and enable this sort of 'incidental innovation', this article seems to take the view that some magic happens in those passing
