loa_in_··on When moving fast, talking is the first thing to break
History of invention in the science of mathematics would show that there is nothing that's useless in the long term. It's all pieces of a puzzle.
loa_in_··on Protect your shed
One can deprioritise health but what does it bring long time? I know it sounds cliche, so I will add that sometimes sacrificing health a little bit is worth pondering.
loa_in_··on Sweden goes back to basics, swapping screens for books in the classroom
The kids you mention likely have multiple VR, AR and other gadget setups in their own home. Too much of a good thing is just that.
loa_in_··on DoorDash Tasks
In a certain Euroland country an analogous delivery company just awards the driver minimum hourly payment on certain agreed before hours if they're clearly working but circumstances had them earn less. Minimum wage requirements stifle nothing.
loa_in_··on DoorDash Tasks
It's also appears to be a hustle side job employer in PR regarding employment MO, while clearly trying to capture the market for deliveries in weekday work hours.
loa_in_··on Fatal Core Dump Game
I think that the best aspect of games or challenges based directly on real life concepts is that the tutorial is the real thing's tutorial. So in this case the man pages and stack overflow.
loa_in_··on FOSS in times of war, scarcity and (adversarial) AI [video]
I thought it was easy: watch videos with your kid, don't allow them to doomscroll or be raised by the "featured"/"front page" algorithms.
loa_in_··on FOSS in times of war, scarcity and (adversarial) AI [video]
How does one make sure the implementation is sufficient and complete? It feels like assuming total knowledge of the world, which is never true. How many false positives and false negatives do we tolerate? How does it impact a person?
loa_in_··on Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time
It's surprisingly tame still given it interests tens (hundreds?) of millions of people at varying age and background and mostly when the mind is occupied by a problem. I always found it surprising there's not more defacing and toxicity.
loa_in_··on AI and the ironies of automation – Part 2
There's lots of _marketing_ promising unsupervised agents. It's important to remember not to drink the cool-aid.
loa_in_··on What is “literate programming”? (2024)
The examples are definitely acknowledgement worthy.

I imagine the biggest hurdle on the path towards adopting this is writing down clear, readable prose using highly technical language. And naming things. Using ambiguous human language to describe a complex algorithm without causing a conflict in a big team.

loa_in_··on Unreal Tournament 2004 is back
No, these are class based team FPS, core of UT and Quake is (team) deathmatch
loa_in_··on We are building AI slaves. Alignment through control will fail
So is mine. So what stops a physical process from being simulated in an exact form? What stops the consciousness process from being run on simulated medium rather than physical? Wouldn't that make the abstract perfect artificial mind at least as conscious as a human?
loa_in_··on We are building AI slaves. Alignment through control will fail
That sounds like picking the most convenient and least painful for the believer option instead of intellectualising the problem at hand.
loa_in_··on A worker fell into a nuclear reactor pool
It almost sounds plausible but it's not. All fuel is extremely heavy elements that in still water falls down and deposits on the bottom.
loa_in_··on Sora 2
Think of it as Tenor GIF (a reaction gif provider) but if your prompt isn't there it's AI generated and cached (added) to the global library.
loa_in_··on Ig Nobel Prize: UVC light sterilizes shoes, kills odor
The ingredients are: Anionic active ingredients less than five percent, fragrance, hydrogen peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, acetic acid, preservative - methylchloroisothiazolinone.

I don't see at a glance how it's bleach infused as the packaging claims.

loa_in_··on Big Tech Told Kids to Code. The Jobs Didn’t Follow [audio]
But it's us who wrote current laws, not some magical entity.
loa_in_··on Ig Nobel Prize: UVC light sterilizes shoes, kills odor
I use bleach infused cleaning wipes and I stuff few of them inside each shoe for few nights. I take them out whenever I put on the shoes. On a negative note, it caused some cheaper insoles to literally fall apart overnight while doing this.
loa_in_··on A human-accelerated neuron type potentially underlying autism in humans
Notably, technology is computers and networks but also pumps, presses, gears, everything since the wheel.
loa_in_··on Buyers of Radio Shack, Pier 1 brands accused of running $112M Ponzi scheme
Having money allows you to spend time elsewhere, like cherry picking desperate employees. I know temp agencies that have it as the whole business model. If you aren't desperate you don't fit.
loa_in_··on Buyers of Radio Shack, Pier 1 brands accused of running $112M Ponzi scheme
But it's not investor fraud if it actually makes the company money and is at least somewhat in the gray area.
loa_in_··on Buyers of Radio Shack, Pier 1 brands accused of running $112M Ponzi scheme
People are born every day, the world always runs on the gullible.
loa_in_··on The doctor who says we can improve our vision – at any age
Anecdotally, after two years of working indoors every day, when I left my tiny apartment only to walk to the store, I had a career change and I had to see an optometrist who prescribed me glasses and insisted on not ignoring this because it's serious enough. I skipped getting glasses and started working outdoors (a high reach telescopic forklift operator). When changing employers only three months later I once again had to see an optometrist (a different one) and I had half of the myopia I had earlier and no recommendation for glasses.
loa_in_··on We Won't Be Missed: Work and Growth in the Era of AGI [pdf]
We're much closer to modelling cells than humans, yet we still pretend like we're already there somehow on both accounts.
loa_in_··on How to make sense of any mess
To save others confusion, it's not yuml.com but yuml.me, a UML diagramming tool
loa_in_··on Download responsibly
This is not a useless discussion just because it'll inconvenience someone who is at work anyway.
loa_in_··on Download responsibly
Wow, that's vile. U have many objections to this but they all boil down to M$ telling you what you cannot do with your own computer.
loa_in_··on Noise cancelling a fan
You are providing the energy by emitting the counter signal in the first place.
loa_in_··on The unreasonable effectiveness of modern sort algorithms
Sorting doesn't yield an ELO score for each item. Though tournament is a form of sorting. It's like instrumented sorting.
