Ha - ok missed the joke. I think Demis Hassabis has a better take on AGI and he believes it's still years away. ---- "Demis Hassabis says current AI falls short of AGI. Solving hard problems or producing impressive outputs does no

Keyword is autonomous [0]. Excel isn't. And I would argue LLMs aren't either. A lot of economically valuable tasks involve manual labor. Can LLMs fix your plumbing? It would help if OpenAI would define what 'most' means

Is 100% taste match more important than not supporting an industry that kills Billions of animals a year and on top of that causing a huge amount of greenhouse gases and biosphere destruction? What if it's 85% taste match, wouldn'

I think I'd rather trust medical experts (The Lancet) and their assessment vs your statement that implied USAID didn't save lives.

Some quick follow up thoughts: > But all the data I could find concludes that more people have moved up than down. I based my comment on research done by Pew, OECD, and economists like Saez/Zucman. The middle class is shrinking both

What do you do when the battery eventually dies. For example the Withings Scanwatch Horizon is quite expensive but it seems it doesn't have a user replaceable battery. So what do you do when the battery can't hold a charge anymore

Just gave you an upvote. It's a much more considered reply and you probably should have led with that instead of your original (now flagged to death) comment. But I don't think it's about screaming the sky is falling down...

Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously said in 1933: “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.” That's why. Historically, when wealth concent

These are not arbitrary things. Based on your original post you seem to only see overall progress from a zoomed out view. Yes we've made immense progress, but my point is that in the last 10 years things have gotten way worse. You don&

There seems to be little point in discussing this further, if you continue to imply that I said we've made no progress overall. Of course we did and I've already stated that in my previous comment. To address your 'What'

All those things are not necessities of life. Food, shelter and energy have become more expensive and poverty rates have barely shifted and are currently getting worse. Your response is basically 'Works on my machine!'. And speaki

Which self driving supercar is that? But I'm not talking about luxuries like super cars that most people couldn't afford. I'm talking about the necessities of life. Food, shelter and energy have become more expensive and unde

Of course life now is better than 100 years ago. But do you really think life has been getting better in the last 10 years say? Do you think trickle down economics works? Are you happy with the way things are going under this administration

So what are his actual technical accomplishments? Other than marketing and promising FSD is ready tomorrow or we'd land on Mars in 2026, or getting Billions from tax payers in subsidies that allowed him to be as successful as he is ---

I believe the new libs are now all in TS and not Clojure anymore. Does that mean TS is better suited for computational art? Or are there other reasons why this lib was moved to TS?

Why are iLemmings comments dead / flagged [0] [1]? Can't even reply inline and have to reply in the main thread. I found them informative. Lots of Clojure haters here I guess? [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

A bit turned off by their 'contact us for pricing' line. Why not show your pricing like any other provider does?

Been a bit out of the loop. What's wrong with using very short sentences like 'That's not X. That's Y.'?

What's a good source to learn how to develop like this - to create HTML / CSS structure that's accessible? EDIT: ignore. I can see you have some links in your profile. Will check it out.

I'm a long time Thinkpad user and the integrated trackpoint allows my hands to stay on the keyboard and also move the mouse around and click on things. I don't get benefit of having a trackpoint detached from the keyboard. What&#x

What made you stop using Clojure? Lack of Clojure jobs? Or something else?

Thanks for that. These details are important for newcomers, because it seems the original commenter isn't happy with the core team's process and 'feels like it's falling apart' is hyperbole and subjective. For futur

Of course. But for people not in the know and looking outside in, they don't know what's going, i.e. why is someone who's been using Clojure for years and building a business with it making these points every few months as yo
