If anything I'm diminishing the importance of calculus and pi by comparing it to this bullshit

by sherburt3 8d ago
Its called an analogy

"Breakthrough" to me would be like Isaac Newton inventing calculus to calculate pi. This feels more like $12MM in tokens was spent to add another digit to pi using the old way.

Given the history of OpenAI and current litigations, I would say they've developed a bit of a reputation for not respecting intellectual property. I'm dubious they have some unbreakable moral code that would prevent them from view

Kind of a bummer that 95% of software engineering is dedicated to creating a padded cell to make sure no one makes a whoopsie instead of doing creative and interesting things.

His book Higher-Order Perl was really good and introduced me to some interesting programming concepts, but it also helped me realize why no one uses Perl anymore

Reviewing the individual formulas in an excel report is psychotic. Normally what I would do when checking someone elses work for errors is spot check a couple of the values in a column and calculate them by hand to see if they matched up. E

Perhaps they shouldn't

Oh ok you want the government to create an extrajudicial process to punish political opponents. Sounds kinda like Facism.

4 times brighter than the moon doesn’t sound very dangerous.

Data centers in space sounds really stupid until you consider how hard it is to get a data center built on Earth.

I really hate this trend of turning every piece of software into this kafkaesque monstrosity that demands you jump through 100 hurdles to do the simplest thing. I mean yeah its good for LLMs but as a human it gets kind of annoying. I honest

That doesn't appear to be stopping the current administration. That's why I think you should be more concerned about the tools of oppression existing rather than the laws that govern them.

These tech-bro public resignations are so tedious. Ostensibly he seems fine with the existence of AI mass surveillance and AI powered murderbots but he just never envisioned a scenario where they would get used that wasn't congruent wi

I think the addresses are a big issue. The address space is just stupid big, I don't understand why we need to prepare for every grain of sand on Earth having a WiFi chip in it. Most people can pick up calculating subnets in their head

40 bits would've bought us a lot of time and would've kicked the can down the road several decades. People from the future would be much better equipped to design a new protocol because they understand their needs better.

by sherburt3 3mo ago
I was saying adding a byte to the address so its a 40 bit address which would be two bytes to the header. Obviously it would still have the same issue where hardware and software would be incompatible and would need to be replaced but the s

Literally all we had to do was add a byte to IPv4 and we'd be done but noooo we need to overengineer the next protocol and make it as painful as possible to adopt.

If someone modified the original dataset and it was discovered they would be held accountable. However if you have a departmental policy of modifying the data for "privacy reasons" and it just so happened to surrepititiously affec
