Very!

I feel the need to tell the LLM to rewrite the article for a software developer audience, but don't, those kinds of passage are hard to overcome:

'Salva opened up his code editor — essentially a word processor for writing code — to show me what it’s like to work alongside Gemini, Google’s L.L.M. '

And what's up with L.L.M, A.I., C.L.I. :)

Ollama runs all local, away from prying corps.

The name is probably inspired by TV Garden from Nam June Paik from the 70s

Didn't know, are they individuals working independently with some 'services' to provide targets/money laundering or are they part of organized crime or payroll? I am curious in the support structures they are embedded in.

Same, better to think about ways to actually help them than mock them.

How do you know they are not done by slaves?

Podcasts, brrrrr

Audio works on the subway, on the bike, while riding a bike, cleaning the house and the big one, driving a car. To get into a situation where you can both watch and listen is much rarer.

Same, I use it all the time and never perceived it as slow. I am not a tmux user, maybe the speed is noticeable when using more complex terminal apps like that?

I refer to dark city all the time when creating AI agents, when Kiefer would inject them with particular memories when the city stood still. And Shell Beach pops into my mind when I take the train to the former grandios Coney Island.

Existenz was another unique underappreciated movie of that year and whose theme never got picked by any other movie. When Jude Law realizes that the Chinese food he is eating can be put together to assemble the gun my mind was blown.

Its like parenting, be loose and strict in the same way. You have to find a good balance given the team composition and corporate restrictions.

It has to be useful for large organizations like for example IBM who need to maintain consistency on various domains, displays and media types. But I suspect it also can stiffle innovation.

Agree, you tap into the rigidness of a semantic color and type hierarchy, while allowing utility classes for specifics of a platform/environment.

This makes sense to me, but it seems to contrary to the current utility-based css wave. For example 'text-red-100' for error message text wouldn't be in style dictionary like that, it would be 'text-color-error' since using 'text-red-100' would always be red 100 and not able to change the text-yellow-500.

Point being isn't that a route back to semantic styling? I much prefer the maintainability cycles of semantic styling over the onslaught of classes in i.e. tailwind.

Is the reverse true as well? Unusual preferences can lead to lonliness?

Right.

I just can‘t imagine how it passed tests for a common configuration that is exhibited by large number of windows machines. Stuff always can go wrong, but OS is not booting should be caught?

Can someone with experience explain how integration tests did not detect that?

Any links?

The Spin by Robert Charles Wilson is magnificent. Set in a contemporary setting, the sun and stars are replaced by projection shield that simulates them, and as the topic suggests it’s because the sun has died, but who did it???

"1. It’s hard. Don’t get me wrong. I know it’s hard. And Samsung and Apple and several other large corporations want in on it. On the bright side, that will give you lots of exit opportunities, and soon you could be drinking cocktails in Bali while Amazon deals with the backlash from the smart doorlock you sold them that still doesn’t work properly. And they’ll spend the money on iteration until the device either goes away or starts working properly, and the users will have to buy Amazon Prime membership for their houses. And then someone will hack your house through the buggy wifi thermostat you bought, and your house will start ordering DOWNTON ABBEY downloads and you’ll come home to find it’s 40 Celsius indoors and the sink is flooded and your fridge has been turned into a porn spambot and you’ll realise that your house is masturbating to DOWNTON ABBEY.

   If you can get in the front door."

>I hope that the foregoing reflection will encourage efforts to ensure that progress in developing forms of artificial intelligence will ultimately serve the cause of human fraternity and peace. It is not the responsibility of a few but of the entire human family.

Isn't it the responsibility of the one in christian speak, not even the few.

The article doesn't explain "nation built on efficiency", its a theme that continues to persist despite any significant examples.

>Not sure what this has to do with the current discussion, but to answer your question… Simply curious what this massive infrastructure is used for after the crypto collpase.

may I add to the list: - Covid Vaccination Rollout - Government plane routinely breaking - Berlin Airport Construction - Military Weapon Procurement - last but not least, German National team

I am confused because I don’t understand what the bitcoin crypto use case is in 10/2023. Didn’t the idea of crypto payments crash?

What is the use case for those bitcoin mines? I don't know anybody who is using, which isn't a good argument of course, but I also don't see on any website as payment option and (thankfully) NFT/web3 is largely a goner.

‘The state has lucrative incentives that have made it the most popular destination for Bitcoin miners in the country. One program pays cryptocurrency miners for agreeing to shut off their computers when the grid is on the brink of failure, such as during the record-breaking heat wave that hit the state this past summer. Since 2020, Bitdeer has been awarded nearly $50 million from this arrangement, according to data published by the grid operator. Those payments are subsidized by Texas ratepayers.’

This is unbelievable.
