The solution is simple. Just build big parking lots outside the city where land is cheap, and a bus service from these parking lots to the inner city. That way commuters can get to their workplace and back fast enough. Making commuting viab

Social media AND smartphones became popular around that time. I think it's the toxic combination that's the worst - easy, low effort dopamine hits that are available everywhere via your phone, whenever you are bored.

Yes, what Western world really needs is more people moving to already unaffordable big cities, because they can't afford a commute from cheaper areas. Landlords would really love that.

It's a good argument if you care about privacy and geopolitical risk, like a dictator suddenly deciding that citizens of your country should no longer have access, or should be monitored when using the service.

If that is the case, where are the LLM-controlled robots where LLM is simply given access to bunch of sensors and servos, and learns to control them on its own? And why are jailbreaks a thing?

The problem with current GenAI is the same as in outsourcing to lowest bidder in India or whatever. For any non-trivial project you'll get something that may appear to work out of it, but for anything production-ready you'll most

>> Two-thirds of Syrian refugees are now employed, many reducing public reliance and boosting the economy. I don't think legitimate Syrian refugees were the biggest problem. Rather, the open-door policy was abused by lots of youn

If you're into home automation, you could probably get pretty far with some light & moisture sensors (I recommend Xiaomi Flora bluetooth sensors for the latter purpose) and smart plugs connected to Home Assistant. I did something l

This is it. It's rational not to give a damn in this environment, at least for anyone who isn't an entrepreneur or very well paid.

Perhaps you can't pay people enough to make them care, but you sure can make them not care by paying too little.

They do get parts through various third party countries. Sanctions really don't work in aviation either. Iran has faced harsh sanctions through the 2000's, yet they've kept flying Western made planes, lately even newer models

I think the switch will happen sooner rather than later, considering the progress BYD is making in China (and many of their export markets). It's true that electric vehicles remain a bit too expensive for many, but most of those people

The key here is "under your guidance". LLM's are a major productivity boost for many kinds of jobs, but can LLM-based agents be trusted to act fully autonomously for tasks with real world consequence? I think the answer is st

I agree. Most frontend rewrites are totally unnecessary, caused by resume-driven development, desire for the latest fancy thing and most JS frameworks having a short lifespan. If LLM's reduce that behavior by steering devs towards most

Even if the runway was only used from one direction (not true), it would be dumb to build a big concrete structure near its beginning. It's not unheard of for planes to come in too low and touch down before start of the runway due to p

There's nothing wrong with resisting bad working conditions, unfair pay, or getting replaced by a machine without adequate social safety nets in place. If businesses decide to replace workers with AI, then it's also their collecti

If it comes to a war I'm going to be on the front lines anyway, because I happen to live in a country next to Russia. Capturing a cargo ship guilty of sabotage wouldn't make much of a difference in whether a war comes or not.

The truth is that Russia has been making war preparations for a long time, also within the EU. In Finland even during the "good years" (between fall of the Soviet Union and Georgian war) Russian businessmen kept buying property th

I think it's time for a special navy operation which captures a Russian or Chinese cargo ship every time a cable gets damaged. The ships and their cargo could be then sold to the highest bidder.

If you don't need a big model and are fine with hosting locally, an RTX3060 with 12GB VRAM is going to do just fine. Can be bought for about 200-300 USD. I've been pleasantly surprised by what such a mediocre GPU and Llama3 8B can

The money does exist, and manpower isn't a problem considering how many people this planet has. The problem is the small monority that has most of the money, and doesn't like to pay their fair share of taxes. "As of late 2022

If we survive climate change, I would argue that conquering space should be the top priority to ensure long-term human survival. Projects like this ultimately gather knowledge that can help that goal. But sure, we also need to tax the ultra

Of course they are humans like everybody else. But I do not support mass migration as a tool for bringing the wages further down and exploiting workers. I think the rich should be taxed much more, and that money used to reduce poverty &

To me the content archived consulting page looks very much like something a large language model would generate. Impressive, but doesn't make any sense considering the size of this company. Probably good enough to fool Hezbollah anyway

The rich have never cared about things you mentioned. They have always exploited the working class, all this talk of "shared blood, culture and history" has largely been just a tool of control, not something they actually cared a
