Not quite, all the proofs or disproofs so far AFAIK were using existing methods that humans developed and were already using to attack the problems, but AI is just more thorough. What AI can't do currently is develop new mathematical m

I have my own domain and my email ends with a .casa TLD and it not only causes confusion, I have had some websites reject it as invalid.

I understand the sentiment and even feel it myself as a software engineer because there is/was so much ego wrapped up in these kind of skills. However, I have kind of gotten over it because I am now hopeful that AI may now help us solv

That's only when the authoritative server cant be reached though

then they would be breaking DNS at scale.

by seiferteric 20d ago
You have to cache, cloudflare doesn't know all the records ahead of time, they have to do recursive lookups to the authoritative servers that own the records and that is only good for the period of the TTL of the record. There is no &q

Good point, liquid and gas fuels will continue to be important into the future where energy density is needed, fuel cells could be a good option also.

I think the flexibility issues is more that you can't easily do things that used to be trivial. Try to spin up a bunch of headless wayland gnome sessions with VNC on a modern linux distro running on a server, it basically can't be

i like the idea of wayland but i agree about the loss of flexibility. they seem very concerned about security and make screen sharing very complex now if you stray from the accepted path. systemd complicates this further with logind seat ma

I just fix a long standing bug on my Linux desktop I have had for years and kept meaning to look into to see if I could fix. The issue was I have a sound blaster katana sound bar and it works okay but the volume on the device is not in sync

Not really the kind of biased I meant though. There was a recent article about a AI disproving I think an Erdos conjecture by doing similar things humans have tried, but it was much messier and less "beautiful". I think it is a co

They also have ability to go deep and wide in a way that humans just can't. We have limits, get tired, distracted and biased where AI does not. I think there a lot of problem where all the information needed to solve them is there, but

Wouldn't a counter this argument be biological systems? These are reasonable points as long as we are talking about current methods, but I assume if we were to get to the point of self replicating probes it would be done by something l

Didn't something like this just happen last year (or year before) but in the opposite direction?

by seiferteric 6mo ago
How could we know this? AFAIK all we can say is the volume of the brain has been relatively stable for that long, how can we say the structures of the brain have not evolved since then? It seems plausible to me anyway that humans could have

There are plenty of ways that you might make a large income in a single year like selling a business you have spent years or decades building up. Your "income" for that year might be several million that year, but it took you year

by seiferteric 6mo ago
I think I don't like income tax as it disincentivizes labor and also makes it harder for working people to build up wealth. Making a million a year sounds like a lot, but who knows how long someone might be making that kind of money? M

> Gasoline engines are already 15% less efficient at 20F. Is that actually true once the engine has reached operating temperature?
20.
by seiferteric 8mo ago
The problem is, energy use is only one part of the equation. Often times new appliances that are more efficient end up being more prone to breaking due to more complexity and companies trying to cut costs to meet a price point. This leads t

Now that I have seemingly taken on managing DNS at my current company I have seen several inadequacies of DNS that I was not aware of before. Main one being that if an upstream DNS server returns SERVFAIL, there is no distinction really bet

My parents were tricked the other day by a fake youtube video of "racist cop" doing something bad and getting outraged by it. I watch part of the video and even though it felt off I couldn't immediately tell for sure if it wa

I have a Samsung neo g9 57" which is like 1/2 an 8k monitor (or 2 4k monitors side-by-side) which is sweet since I use picture-by-picture mode to have my work computer on one side and my personal computer on the other side.

I think the real issue is that for the powers that be, inflation is seen as either neutral or a good thing. The only people it hurts is the working class and the blame is nebulous. So it is used as a tool to increase taxes without changing

Similar complaint for the chevy silverado, why can't they just make it look just like the regular silverado?

But energy efficiency is improving also.

Well technically, this is just a philosophical point, but the bill of rights is supposed to protect _natural_ rights that apply to everyone regardless of where they live. So in theory the UK can and does routinely violate peoples rights

While I am not particularly interested in the design, I am intrigued by the idea of making your own monitor. I have had some ideas about features I would like in a monitor before. Are there some boards out there that are easy to hack on to

I wonder if you could make a new standard something based on yaml where every value was prefixed by a type so there is no ambiguity.

The whole thing is a joke but presented in a serious manner. The idea is that if you know your program input at compile time you can turn everything into a constexpr which gets evaluated at compile time so your program is "ran" by
