I think the hardware makers are going to have the last laugh, but not sure if that would be NVIDIA
Haha I think a supply-chain collapse of AI chips due to wars is more likely

I hate this "witty" Claude speak where it tries so hard to be cool:
>I haven't seen yours yet
>, in the terminal you already live in
>truth
>Everything is optional
I can't really put my finger to it why, but type of writing pisses me off so much.
Fun, makes me think of Bumptop :)
I really don't get why all these improvements are only geared towards minors. What is the reasoning here to not extend this to every citizen?
Name 1 AI company that is profitable, and no Meta and Google are not AI companies
Was I actually the only kid who liked cleaning up toys and sorting Knex and Lego and stuff?
This project is super cool! But the price of the e-ink board is quite steep
Yeah Covid was awesome, say that to the people who died from it, or who committed suicide because of the lockdown depression
I am wondering how much the spec changes per M-chip iteration? I think that after some iterations, the spec stays the same, no?
>substantially cheaper price
why substantially cheaper? Break-even would be fine too, no? And as a plus, lab-grown meat is much more ethical.
I also think that replacing 'cheap' meat like ground beef would already be sufficient and would make a huge impact, there is really no need make it difficult for ourselves and try to replace rib-eye.
Iets first try to get inter-European train tickets shall we?
Do you have any examples of this? I am not sure if I understand what you mean
I work in Bioengineering, and I have never ever had a prompt go through Fable's safety filters. So I have never had the pleasure of using it.
Why release a model with such strict filters? It would be more sensible from a buisness perspective if they had sensible filters in place right away.
Your really put the shill in shilliard
I agree partly with your comment, but I want to add this perspective:
The dot-com era treatened and killed many jobs in banking (bank tellers and such). AI is now doing the same, but now it is threatening the jobs of consultants.
So the author tried to fix a non-issue of somebody else's dog with human-grade probiotics.
I think that actually there was no issue at all and he just wanted to YOLO it.
And then he only goes to discuss if it was ethical as he didn't ask the dog? What about just not medicating a dog when there is no medical problem? What about consent from the owner? So much more issues with this than what the author discusses.
I was actually happily surprised that you can continue without making an account
"I was only pretending to be stupid!"
Aren't you afraid to get banned from Cloudflare for using their DNS for streaming media?
I though Cloudflare forbade streaming via their network? Did their ToS change?
Health insurance should be rooted in solidarity. It is supposed to be a collective mechanism designed to prevent individuals from financial ruin due to unpredictable medical crises. It is not about hedging individual risk, but about sharing it across society, because health problems can strike anyone regardless of preparation or behavior.
This is a very cool project, and I like the nostalgic feel of it! However, this project got me thinking:
We are on a forum filled with people working on these super addicting infinite scroll technologies at YouTube, Instagram, maybe even TikTok. At the same time though, this post removing all these addictive technologies has reached the #1 spot on HN (and HN is deliberately made without any of this addicting tech!!)
I think it is time for people to really realize how addicting the tech they are making is, without masking it with words like 'friction' and 'engagement'. And hopefully they will slowly work on making their tech a little bit less addictive.
Before Covid we had some kind of movement like this, but it has sadly dwindled.
I agree with this 1000%. Kids need to be free and explore things on their own.
Why are we living in a world where we think that kids do not deserve privacy? Or where we think that we cannot trust our children?
I don't want to compare life to video games and I think comparing a genocidal dictatorship that ruthlessly suppresses its citizens and occupies foreign lands (Tibet for example) a challenger is a bit of a downplay
My optometrist said that this is only proven way to stop the progression of myopia. Sadly, I cannot wear these as I have cylinder
My grandma's pretty good with her Android phone, but every month, she calls us totally lost because apps like WhatsApp keep messing with the UI. Why do they have to change the interface so often? Most times, these changes seem pointless and just confuse her.
If you requested this 5 years ago every would think you were crazy...
Same as the suckless people. They were right after all.
