for me, I'd say: occasional cryptic error messages that prevent conversation, even using encrypted DM across multiple devices

No message history while not logged in.

Why not device-side headers? Kids' devices should always include a header saying "I'm a kid, don't show me adult content.

I like how it adds random electrical boxes everywhere.

They've already invested in Matrix. Why not use that?

there is already a swastika unicode glyph. As for the Confederate Flag, they will probably be confused as, if added to unicode, it would likely be rendered as one of the actual confederate flag designs rather than the one which has become popular in recent decades.

Cute but this game does not become interesting until score 50 or more.

This should also be possible with [XOR swap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_swap_algorithm), though you need to do three passes.

Instead of ads, we could have websites mine bitcoin in javascript. I feel like this would be better for everyone, especially in a world of AI agents.

This is the famous sofa problem! It's hard to believe it's finally solved; I've spent many evenings staring at the wikipedia article wondering at how even what seem to be the simplest of problems defy the reach of mathematics.

If anyone is unclear on how to switch to microtonal mode (okay, if you're pendantic, "xenharmonic" would be the right term), use the gear at the top-right and change the Tuning system from 12-TET to something else.

The previous CEO did the same thing.

> "Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence,” he said.

No, gen AI is a subset of machine learning.

Disagree. This is not so much about epistemological correctness as it is about what's useful and convenient. math.tau is an easier and more intuitive constant to work with.

Listen. If someone on stack overflow asks how to do X, do not tell them they don't want to do X unless you explain how they could do X. Maybe that poster would be better off not doing X, but someone else will come along some day who wants X for real.

I noticed AI-generated slop taking over google search results well before ChatGPT. So I don't agree with the premise on this site that you can be "you can be sure that it was written or produced by the human hand."

Does it add back the killer feature of SMS fallback?

If not, I'll stick with Matrix. It's got privacy at least as good as signal, with Discord's UX.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone suggest there was truth to the blood libel. It seems pretty obviously absurd to me that there would exist a Jewish ritual requiring Christian blood. Can you provide this "irrefutable evidence," please?

I think they meant "wouldn't have known." The ensemble cast didn't really give contemporary viewers purchase on who would ultimately be the one to survive by the end of the film. Nowadays, many viewers go into the movie already knowing that Ripley will be the one to make it through, which makes it easy to see her as "the main character."

Well, what he's saying here is not really that credible. But if you want a saner exploration of the topic of existential risk from AI, I suggest the recent book from MIRI, "if anyone builds it, everyone dies."

one should use a mini pc or similar for this; raspberry pi won't handle video so well imo.

There are two significant ways in which this differs from a Rubik's cube.

1. It's abelian. Moves can be done in any order, to the same result.

2. there's a simple algo to solve this. Working from top to bottom, left to right: click the first white cell, then click the cell below it. (Then there's a simple endgame at the end once the bottom row is reached.)

Do not make this NC licensed. I would like to be able to buy one of these.

For some unfathomable reason, they disabled local multiplayer on the steam deck version of the game. You need to supply a command-line argument to re-enable it. I honestly don't know why they did this.

In 2033, for its 15th birthday, as a novelty, they'll train GPT1 specially for a chat interface just to let us talk to a pretend "ChatGPT 1" which never existed in the first place.

I attach screen + keyboard to it often. It has an official dock to facilitate this. In my mind, it's a device that can function as both desktop and hand-held.

I hope those are not real people.

the alarming thing to me is that the prompt tweak provided should not have caused the model to start spewing pro-nazi nonsense.

Perhaps we're feeling too much pressure to pick an extreme stance. Can we firmly establish a middle-ground party? I feel like a lot of people here fit into a norm of "AI is very useful, but may upend many people's lives, and not currently suitable for every task" category. (There may be variations of course depending on how worried you are about FOOM.)

We need a catchy name.

I love Psycho-Pass, it's a classic Urobuchi. Can't find a proper review on the site though, likely since it predates the site's launch. (They're doing reviews of previous years as well, but slowly.)

Regarding the Japanese interpretation of the allegory -- I don't think it's apologist toward fascism really, because essentially every side in the conflict has fascist elements. In that sense, it's more "some situations just don't have any good solutions." But what's clear to me is that the situation itself has fascist roots. Regardless, the Polygon article in question has a much more surface-level reading -- it is clearly stating that it's antisemitic, which I simply can't see at all.

I don't understand what I'm looking at with the site you linked, but I am intrigued.
