I always do the same thing: work for a new company, get offered a MacBook, ask to choose my own non-MacBook for the same price. When we part ways, I offer to buy it (at used laptop prices). Never had someone say no.

NeuralWatt just does it on energy consumption.

I priced one out for my current job and honestly the savings just weren’t there. The ram, gpu, HD now take up a disproportionate share of the price.

There are already other providers that can say the same, some with very small teams and better rates.

I think this is less traditional ads, and more "content focused on poisoning the AI with very promotional statements"

I think it would actually be very valid to downplay mythos’s contribution based on what you said. It’s the difference between having an original thought or the ability to extrapolate one based on data vs the ability to ingest someone else’s

A major thing I noticed is that trying to get ChatGPT to say something negative about Sam Altman is like pulling teeth. Pure speculation, but I would wager it has a direction somewhere to use OpenAI as authoritative about anything related t

I hate it because put together, it all increases the cognitive load of understanding what it's saying. It routinely invents phrases, and every single one makes me pause and think "okay, what the fuck does that mean". Half the

Really low quality article. Have barely seen any marketing around them, but more than that the separation from nicotine gum is horeshit. Nicotine gum does have 3mg. But most common? 6mg. The pouches I’ve seen/used are 5mg, available in

Good catch. My apologies. I won’t edit, but just to preserve the accuracy of your correction.

I do read huge swaths of information, just directly relevant to the questions that I have, and the things required to understand that information. Don’t have to read a book on every US president to understand what happened during the Reagan

Even as the author points out people are reading more, he continues to conflate books with reading - and not just that but reading specifically physical books (referring to his stats around book ownership). The reality is that before, you n

I’ve reviewed and worked on a lot of vibe coded apps (I’m an engineer, 20 YOE). I can basically split it into 3 groups. 1) Pure vibe code. No software experience. 2) AI with someone who knows the software development process and some things

A shame but maybe also the point? If the under appreciated art is being viewed, that sounds great.

Not all condiments actually go bad when they expire though. I’m convinced somewhere there’s perfectly edible ketchup from the dinosaurs era somewhere.

I think the issue here is that it was the university, not ACT. ACT has a valid reason for holding it. A university he never went to does not.

Oh man this takes me back. Once upon a time, all server logs were basically unusable because of the amount of IIS scanners out there. There was a directory traversal that was literally just url encoding “../“ that absolutely lit the in

This new supply attack steals your GitHub credentials, and then pushes infected commits as you to repositories. I love computers.

I still have a wifi issue that forces me to pin to a specific wifi network. If I do not, it somehow cascades into a GPU driver failure that breaks everything. My last laptop used an audio amplifier that made the speakers not work for ~2 yea

I think that's actually a perfect analogy to AI writing code. Drafting a will seems like not a big deal, until that will is accepted as "good enough" and is then in court and under fire.

This sounds a lot like “you’re getting analyzed by AI/ML, tied to a specific bucket of similar users, then your continued data expands the bucket, splitting off into different adhoc buckets of similar users” If so, you can’t be tied to

>This vulnerability was responsibly disclosed to OpenAI. Despite multiple follow-ups, we received no communication beyond an automated reply to our initial disclosure. Well, that’s not cute.

I think it's completely valid. It's generally reasonable, high powered people who are taking extreme/radical views that seem very much to be at minimum premature, and at worst delusional. It says a lot that with few exception

Honestly I think they’re mostly just distracted. Any other administration this would be a tier 1 priority. Not knee capping AI, but acknowledging the changes that are coming and figuring out how to mitigate the damage.

It seems pretty obvious that they are hostile

So far, yeah. The courts shrugged and said it was allowed under current law. So the solution to that would be “change the law”.

Well, when I said “I’m curious” it was true. I’m actually curious. So how do you think a meta noai tag would be used by a hostile government? It would be something the website owner set.

by xmcp123 4mo ago
Kind of curious how it would pan out, if there was a government enforced meta tag one could add to signal what the data could be used for - for example “no-ai”. That would allow people to still let Google to access their site, but restrict
