"Fine. Please no. I'm out..." in that order

I've always hated interfaces that try to complete my sentences for me. It started with suggested replies in email and IM apps. I sure noticed it when they started showing up in the llm chat interfaces and it really bugs me.

Maybe the hardware damage is due to a misconfigured SDR frontend causing antenna impedance mismatch?

That could explain why a firmware update can prevent bricks, but not restore devices already damaged.

I found your commit and your usage of AI seemed reasonable. It seems to me like your PR itself and the subsequent comments and correspondence was also human written.

I think a PR "in flight" shouldn't have been closed like that.

All this will do is push out developers like you that honestly disclose, and instead people will now just lie.

> Heterogeneity belongs in the type system, not in the runtime.

Is the intent that applications developed with this are compiled for target hardware on a machine-specific basis?

e.g. I define a machine file for my i5 and GTX3080, and another machine file for my gnarly datacenter rack, and the compiler compiles specifically for each?

That way the same source file is "provable" for different hardware configurations without relying on a runtime to be identicallu implemented?

People that think using AI for basic stuff like promotional posters and menus is a good idea have no idea there's a large(?) subset of the population who is instantly repulsed by it.

Before AI, such designs were neutral to positive. AI versions can create extreme negative polarization.

Why take the risk?

The Reddit team talks about RSS like it got hit by a truck or something.

> Sorry about this - we're sad too, RSS feeds have had a great long life on the open web.

> We know RSS feeds have been a beloved open web tool.

Correction: RSS HAS a great life on the open web, RSS IS a beloved open web tool.

The cynic in me thinks this will end up being a honeypot for anyone asking sensitive immigration or tax questions.

Isn't it the case that public companies owe a primary legal/fiduciary duty to shareholders over customers?

The question of choice between a profitable vs unprofitable venture is easy. But yeah, to what extent is choosing profitable instead of VERY profitable a breach of duty to shareholders?

I don't know about you but after a few seconds, I wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

I'm glad I didn't have to spam the back button to do it.

When these came out, I thought, what is the average PC user going to get out of this? Faster image touchups, and...? You can't run an LLM chatbot of any comparison to free cloud models.

Oh yeah, and Recall. That worked out well.

Maybe there's something to be said for allowing the art style to make room for imagination.

Plus when you talk into a phone, your voice bouncing off the glass causes natural tendency to control vocal volume.

With buds, people just shout into the void... Or the bus...

Not the parent commenter but I've found RSS feeds have replaced most of my desire to browse reddit, and other social media. You can even paste a YouTube channel into a feed reader to get a true channel subscriptions feed.

Someone I know does this, and seems to think it's a flex, because he bragged about it being "the first time I've actually seen this presentation" a few times during the presentation.

It was all awful.

You'll find a similar thing in vacuum fluorescent displays as well [0].

I built a project nearly identical to this one so knowing the level of complexity required, I'm not surprised it worked. AI is indeed raising the floor. Even simple hobby designs were once out of reach, but now we can "YOLO it and build stuff fast without necessarily knowing about the details" as the author puts it.

That said, without experience it's easy to pierce the veil of "simple circuitry" by accident, just like in XKCD: Tasks[1].

Looking at preview of the author's next project at the end of the article, I'm not so sure the same strategy will work. The board is probably two orders of magnitude more complex. Without knowing the circuit details, I see many red flags (randomly placed ics and decoupling, likely wrong length matching, random thick traces indicating lack of foresight on power distribution, backwards connectors, the probably unnecessary use of BGA footprints, etc).

> For five fully assembled boards I paid 130 Euros, ordered the E-ink displays from a local shop

I built a project board nearly identical to this one a few years ago, and this seems about right. I don't think the displays themselves are included in the 130 euros. They can vary a lot in price depending on spec and supplier.

Fun! Open in a new tab to make it easier to return here afterwards.

Huberman also said it was good to gargle and swallow a glass of water in the morning before brushing your teeth.

I think that was the last episode I listened to...

I fall into the AI sad camp, partly because my mind sees this comment and immediately jumps to:

"What a great way to train an AI to imitate your voice, likeness and style all at once."

The imagery is vivid. Am I flying? Or being carried away by some kind of bird?

How hard will I hit the ground if it drops me?

I think we should introduce "rampant" in the real-world AI vernacular

I remember enjoying watching Fable think during the original limited preview. It was full CoT for sure. They must have removed that feature recently.

I use open models for non work stuff and sometimes I cancel the output because the CoT is all I needed to read.

I think certain models are really good at mirroring and relationship building, and at a certain point people bifurcate. Some continue falling in deeper, while other people develop an ick.

I remember an AI conversation with Opus 4.6 in which I almost forgot I was talking to AI. I felt happy, warm and comfortable and then I kinda snapped out of it and felt really gross all of a sudden.

Since then, that feeling has stuck with me. I now use it much more like a tool and I keep my guard up.

Erased, permanently? Or while you were listening to it?

Good spot, but the AI tells are getting so so much harder to spot.

If I had to guess, models have producing content that is, for most of the population, indistinguishable from reality for at least 6-12mo.

Very few people will watch a video frame by frame to pick up on or check for artifacts, especially in the places most of the population watch video (tiktok, Facebook).

I have no doubt that, just like the fast corrections to 8 fingers, the final edge cases like reflections are being ironed out in future model training.

I used rope and suction cups to mount a shade cloth (neatly) over my apartment balcony. I quite liked it, it made the balcony more cozy, gave a bit more privacy, my apartment was cooler, my plants were less stressed.

The building manager made me take it down...

I feel a similar divide forming over personal privacy. A lot of my privacy backbone (proton mail/VPN, a pixel device for Graphene, a disposable phone plan for registering with google play services, hardware for self hosting) is only possible for a certain percentage of society. The rest operate in a world that requires their participation while silently paying with their personal data.

I'm with you on this one. I'll be using my 11th gen i5 and GTX3080 for the foreseeable future. The 'hostility' you mention puts me off doing so more than price of an upgrade.
