Funny enough, the video game Doom is actually making this exact point I discovered somewhat recently.

The problem is that before Nov 30, 2022 we also had plenty of human-generated slop bearing down on the web. SEO content specifically.

Could it be regional?

Investment thesis?

Very cool. Our lab will want to do something like this eventually. Do you have a repo?

Not just Tesla, all established brands we know are left behind. I never understood Volkswagen's pivot from 'wait and See's to 'were inversing billions' to 'we were too late, abort'. Largest brands n terms of units, completely left behind in an emerging segment that's already dominating it's largest market (China). So many executives in the industry just didn't see the writing on the wall. I don't what GM was thinking, trying a truck as their first platform for EVs, but it's another indicator. This industry has the worst executives. Just don't see the writing on the wall.

Would be interesting to see if we can run shiny entirely client side with this.

Was looking forward to trying this, but they haven't got inline chunks for rmarkdown to work yet. This I use religiously. Hopefully they'll be able to ship it eventually, but based on the GitHub issue about it it will be a while.

They are not going as far as to blame PostgreSQL, but their switch to ClickHouse seems to suggest that they see PostgreSQL as part of the equation. Would ClickHouse really prevent this type of error from occurring? PostgreSQL already has so many options for setting up solid constrains for data entry. Or do they not have anyone on the team anymore (or never had) who could set up a robust PostgreSQL database? Or are they just piggybacking on the latest trend?

Same goes for many people.

This space is changing quickly, and their numbers are already outdated. In Pennsylvania they are building a 4.5GW gas-fired power plant specifically to power AI data centers:

Even if it does not provide base load (which the co-location with the AI data center suggests it may come close to), that single power plant will emit millions of tons of CO2 per year.

Strange that Tesla has never attacked this angle. Too focused on self-driving trucks and putting humans out of jobs?

The Democrats have their problems, and no one should give them a free pass. The Atlantic hit the nail on the head when they called it the HR-ification of the Democratic Party. The party apparatus is mostly just appropriating positions, that's their idea of leadership. Hillary Clinton's weaponization of rules and procedures against Bernie Sanders is a great example of that.

That is a far cry from the open corruption of the Republican party however. Allowing the CEO of ExxonMobil to become the Secretary of State. Doing pay for play and accepting lavish gifts from Silicon Valley royalty. The Trump coin grift and dishing out pardons for crypto scammers.

Both sides is a gross oversimplification.

Are there any use cases where that 1% is worth any hassle whatsoever?

I passed on the machine, but we set up gpt-oss-120b on a 128GB RAM Macbook pro and it is shockingly usable. Personally, I could imagine myself using that instead of OpenAI's web interface. The Ollama UI has web search working, too, so you don't have to worry about the model knowing the latest and greatest about every software package. Maybe one day I'll get the right drivers to run a local model on my Linux machine with AMD's NPU, too, but AMD has been really slow on this.

They might be risking their quasi-monopoly/duopoly position. Probably not but before it was a 0% chance and now its nonzero.

> These goals are in line with the administration’s own stated priorities. Just weeks after shuttering OCS, the White House announced an executive order intended to, in its words, restore scientific integrity policies of federally funded research activities.

I get that they are trying to highlight the administrations hypocrisy, but stronger wording would really be appropriate. That scientific integrity has always just been a fig leaf that should never be taken at face value, a red herring.

Notably in peril now, research in the Antarctic, where climate change is more apparent than in most places.

Not supposed to be a judgemental question. Not every repo has to be a labor of love for sure. But how do you get to that place where there are 120 unused dependencies? I'm sure there are many different pathways where things get a bit out of control. People doing the equivalent of pip freeze? Or (too) many cooks?

Couldn't quit put my finger on it, but soulless might be it. Doesn't capture Tux's personality.

This will kick of a real wave of AI slob hitting journals, won't it? There is already a p-hacking problem, no help needed.

If you run more than one test, you are bound to eventually get a false positive significant result.

I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm using AI a lot myself, always supervised. This hits different.

Now I want to know which cognitive psychology experiments were successfully replicated though.

Well, it's punching down. If you are a big corporation or otherwise have the means to fight back, you don't have much to fear.

I'm very thankful for the Debian team's efforts to include most of my most commonly software packages in their repo. Out of all the differences between me and my colleagues workflows on MacOS and windows, this is the most impactful one. I don't remember the last time I had any kinds of dependency issues. I keep updating my packages when I log on and there are no version and/or dependency issues whatsoever.

Yeah, the signal is not exclusively to Burger King.

I would argue that it is an ethical thing to do so if it sends a signal to pay whitehats appropriately.

There is quite specific machining to difficult positions in chess that should be mentioned. A difficult position occurs when at the surface it seems that there are many viable moves to be analyzed. Think of being a kid and thinking which pawn to move first. Then you learn opening theory and it gets a little easier.

But you can still encounter a position where you could take multiple pieces, all leading to different trades or some forces moves. Another scenario is when you're in a closed position and there are many, many micro adjustments you could make. An ai might know that you should move the A pawn and you might not even be considering it.

Basically, positions where GothamChess starts speaking with a Russian accent to channel the Russian grandmasters.

This may not be helpful, but I have found it difficult to limit screentime. Tried it many times, never sustained it. "Fastening" for a week or two was much easier and had sustained effects. See other comments on how to lock yourself out of YouTube. For me it was just a matter of disabling the app on my phone, but it does not seem to be that easy for everyone.

What are the go-to Synology alternatives atm? Was going to get a Synology box for a small team but could not get what we wanted for a reasonable price from them. I won't be the one maintaining it, otherwise I would get a linux client for sure.

Are people typing Bitcoin addresses by hand? Aren't they far more likely to c&p a spoofed Bitcoin address?
