Ageism.

I think a big part of the reason is that there is only one wireless option -Bluetooth- and it is a terrible product from a user experience perspective. It's 2026 and I still can't move through my world with earbuds in without my audio randomly switching to my wife's car in the driveway or our Bluetooth speaker that is on upstairs.

You know you can clear your cookies right?

From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense that the body would explore all possible ways to increase intelligence, with neurons located anywhere in the body and with chemical in addition to electric signals. It's not like a car or something that was designed with specific functions for specific components.

"drone"

The title is disgusting click bait with the hopes to falsely make the reader believe that Solar covered 61% of the total annual power need and not just the YoY delta.

+1 they don't even try to hide the amount of bias in the study.

This author has lost the plot.

Are they naked photos you've seen before?

For some reason when I read this font in the digital samples, it feels a bit Soviet? I subconsciously expect the text to be in cyrillic.

My thought as well. Nuclear weapons are also horrifying.

And with LLMs, it's difficult to prevent the proliferation to bad actors.

It seems like we're racing towards a world of fakery where nothing can be believed, even when wielded by good actors. I really hope LLMs can actually add value at a significant level.

Jump point search is obscenely fast. It's technically an optimization of A* but the behavior and runtime looks nothing like it.

"artificial intelligence recursively improving itself until we become subservient to it."

Hmm, the cultural zeitgeist is about LLMs.

Are LLMs improving anything (in the sense of optimization)? I think LLMs are enabling us to automate tasks which are tedious and don't really add value (eg, compliance tasks). And they are helping us create art, content, and ads. I'm not aware of LLMs optimizing systems, let alone themselves. But I'm not very tuned in to all the applications.

That's fantastic. It used to be you had to restart the whole PC after a driver update.

If someone could do this for the Web Browser, I could see that potentially being a strong enough feature for users to switch from say Chrome to Firefox. "Never need to close your tabs with In Place Updates."

Because that's what people want. And if people want it, it can't be good?

Why is this called vibe check. Ugh.

Fascinating. I think it's likely incorrect to blame most of the victims here. We are all products of our environment and everyone has their own weakness or specific trigger -no matter how much we like to think we are in control.

In a way, ChatGpt is the perfect "cult member" and so those who just need a sycophant to become a "cult leader" are triggered.

Will be interesting to watch this and see if it becomes a bigger trend.

It appears unsurprising because it is unsurprising.

I wouldn't really call this a "shape" since the highly manipulated center of mass is what is actually doing the work here. I would call this an object or rigid body.

"If, for some reason, your brain stops functioning, Meta’s got you."

This is a great slogan haha.

Coin.

Plume over 20k ft??

Uhh what the heck is a plume anyway?

Wood is already a poor insulator, so if it takes up less space and you can fit more insulation, that is better.

Right, like should we also blame the people who paid the money to these billionaires by using their services? Anyone who used facebook is responsible for funding 1/X global warming.

The universe is not a flash game. By combining particles into a small number of large "objects" this doesn't reduce computational complexity. Every particle still must be simulated independently.

I'm not sure why all the hate. This is entirely up to your friend. If they want to spend their remaining time trying moonshots, then by all means do it, and blog the results online and share with others. Make it into something fun. It literally does only increase their chances of survival even if by some extremely small amount.

Otherwise, if they prefer to spend their time in other ways, support them in that.

"False hope" is kind of an oxymoron. Hope is never easy to have. Fortunately it's not required. You can accept death and still find enjoyment/distraction in self-experimentation.

Watch out who you shake hands with, you might absorb micro plastics from them if they use a lot of Tupperware.

Sidenote, why is silicone able to accumulate so many airborne chemicals for testing?

Tons of food/kitchen products are made of silicone and touted as food safe. However, I always find that silicone kitchen products accumulate smells and then transfer these odors to the food, so I abhor them. This seems to confirm that mechanism.

I know and at my company we actually cannot disable the AI suggestions :(

It's like dealing with a pathological liar who produces very convincing looking code for me to review, but actually there is a bug in it 50% of the time. It's like it's trying to trick me into committing bugs.
