tasuki··on Everybody’s home. No one’s coming over
I used to throw parties not long ago. At least once a week, often more than that. Anywhere between 5 and 35 people.

Then I became a single father and I haven't thrown a single party since then.

Damn I miss throwing parties.

tasuki··on Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
Is that legal advice?
tasuki··on Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
Are you going to ask this question to everyone who writes anything in this discussion?

It's beside the point whether he's a lawyer. He's not your lawyer, that's for sure. The "no medical nor legal advice but otherwise you can advise anything" idea is beyond stupid.

Judge advice on its merit, not by what category it's in.

tasuki··on Goodbye Google
I'm always suspicious of people who put their titles too front and center. Sure Dr Sami Ameri has credentials but Professor Richard Dawkins, DPhil, FRS, FRSL has better.

I wonder what the Christians here think about Dr Ameri? I'm not convinced at all.

Most of us are atheistic with regards to most gods. Some of us just go a little farther...

tasuki··on Factorio that you can touch
There was an attempt, with a very well known board game designer. They got along well, but didn't find a board game in it.

> Everything in the game is a 2D render of a 3D model, which is why the game uses so much VRAM.

Surely from first principles one'd expect 3D models to be heavier than the 2D renders, due to the extra axis?

tasuki··on Goodbye Google
Sure. And The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins explains the logical problems with religion.

But, I don't see any dualism here, only a (baseless) accusation of such by monideas. In the old testament God was hard and cruel and he is much nicer in the new testament. Marcionism is the idea that they're separate gods, which is not what theGeatZhopa claimed.

tasuki··on Goodbye Google
Weird but thanks for the explanation!
tasuki··on Goodbye Google
I'm not drawing an equivalency. I'm just pointing out that for me it is very much not "refreshing to see someone claim to have a belief and then follow through, [...] at no small cost to themselves".

> a lot of mainstream Christians who aren't actually interested in doing anything based on their belief

Yes, a lot of mainstream Christians aren't actually Christians, they're just cosplaying religion.

tasuki··on Goodbye Google
It's not surprising though. The 9/11 hijackers also had a belief and followed through at no small cost to themselves (death). And they believed they were doing the right thing.

Why are you writing G-d instead of God?
tasuki··on Show HN: How long do I need to work at my salary before I can coast, or retire?
> people who are looking to sell their family home to buy ai stock

How nice of them. I'll have cheap tokens for a little longer.

tasuki··on Show HN: How long do I need to work at my salary before I can coast, or retire?
> You're just leaving money on the table

LOL. Of course you're leaving money on the table: that is the whole point! Many people have hobbies they'd rather be doing than working. It's ok to leave money on the table. Especially so if you don't see anything meaningful to buy with the extra money.

tasuki··on I am done with this shit
Well that was the point all along.

People writing software have been automating others away for a long time. The "I'll replace you with a short shell script" attitude. It's not surprising nor especially unfair we get the same treatment.

tasuki··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
> Yet… even Altman called out Anthropic for serving dumbed down models.

Even Altman called out Anthropic? Isn't Anthropic the biggest competitor Sam Altman has?

tasuki··on Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds
> And remember how Iran slaughtered tens of thousands of its own citizens a few weeks prior.

Yes? How is that a reason to kill even more Iranians, especially schoolgirls?

tasuki··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
This is the stupidest disclaimer: it's completely unnecessary. Of course the opinions are their own! Whose else would they be? Your mum's?

If someone was speaking on behalf of their employer, they would've used the official channels (such as I dunno an `openai` HN handle, or whatever other channel).

I'm outraged that people think this "opinions are my own" disclaimer is ever necessary.

tasuki··on Go grandmaster Shin defeats AI KataGo with a two-stone handicap
Yes. More info here: https://codenamebluespot.com/open-test (including commentary of the games)
tasuki··on Deadpan Photography: Enjoying the Pretence
I had a similar reaction. If someone could chime in and explain how this isn't absolute nonsense, I'd be grateful.
tasuki··on Go grandmaster Shin defeats AI KataGo with a two-stone handicap
It works the same in go. Just, as the parent has said, the dynamic range of go is higher.
tasuki··on Go grandmaster Shin defeats AI KataGo with a two-stone handicap
Great, now next match against blue spot[0], starting even and adjusting the handicap each game.

Blue spot is an adversarial ai and it's managed to beat average professionals on five handicaps, which is absolutely insane.

tasuki··on Japan halves speed limit to 30km/h on all narrow city streets
> No I mean up to 60... km/h

That's not a bicycle, that's a motorbike.

tasuki··on Japan halves speed limit to 30km/h on all narrow city streets
> cyclists doing well over 60 inside town narrow streets

I used to cycle and I don't think I could achieve 60 on flat ground like Amsterdam. That's very solid sprinting that even the best cyclists in the world can only achieve for short periods of time. On narrow Amsterdam streets with cobblestone? Impossible...

tasuki··on I wanna live an NPC life
> Life will be infinitely more interesting

How many times in a row can you read the same boring five minute story?

tasuki··on I trained a small transformer in 1.5hrs and it beats many LLMs
As an aside, the anagram is so good!
tasuki··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
Just use podman, as the article suggests.
tasuki··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
Yes ok, but the moment you gain user access to my machine, I've already lost. The amount of damage you can do as root is about the same you can do as me.
tasuki··on Abdominal fat predicts heart disease risk better than BMI
You have no control over whether you hit the jackpot. You do have control over what you put in your mouth.
tasuki··on Abdominal fat predicts heart disease risk better than BMI
I believe people here were not talking about "behavioural treatment". What is that even? I'm talking about people resolving to do something and following through.

Again, we can not change other people. People can only change themselves.
