I was speaking to the ideas as outlined in the post.

Unless you live like a savage, there will always be this issue of how technology hurts humans.

This is why the story of Adam and Eve exists. It is an allegory on this very topic. Humans are cursed with self awareness and it is what drives us to make everything around us better. We strive to improve on what God created, and that is the original sin for which we will forever be paying for.

I think this is what happens when someone gets so out of touch with the reality of living like primitive man.

If you can't see the real tangible benefits technolgy provides to humans, then you have been living too good for too long and have taken everything around you for granted.

Run into the woods naked and see how long you last and how good it feels. Not long, and not good.

deadeye··on Meta could become even more dominant in social media with Threads
Probably because saying benign stuff like "there are only two genders" is considered transphobic by radicals.

Well, first off, I'm running an AMD gpu to run my displays, so there is no issue with driver confusion between two types of nvidia gpus.

The drivers were pretty easy to find. I think I just googled them.

deadeye··on AI firms should face prison over creation of fake humans, says Yuval Noah Harari
But these aren't fake people, they are fake profiles.

Let's say, a fake profile makes a good point and that changes my mind about a political topic, here are two possibilities:

1) The fake profile wasn't lying and had a real person posted the message, it would have had the same effect.

2) The fake profile was lying, but had a real person posted the lie, I would have been fooled.

Either way, I don't see the difference. The fake profile has the same ability to influence as a real person does. So what this really is, is a way to limit speech, specifically the speech the author doesn't like.

Doubt it. They're already censoring news they don't like.

I bought a older nvidia Tesla p40 with 24gb of vram and it does a pretty good job at running SD, for a $200 gpu.
deadeye··on Monday Was the Hottest Day Ever as Global Temperatures Rise
Is there a specific example that you could cite about weather extremes?

Most of these claims I've seen are either wrong or fail to take into account several obvious factors.

For instance, claims of rising property damage amounts or lives lost fail to account for the amount of property that has accumulated in these locations or the population explosions in these places.

If you examine your initial statement, you would see that the answer to your ending question does not matter.

If an extremely cold day is climate change, and an extremely hot day is climate change, what is the point of the ratio?

deadeye··on Monday Was the Hottest Day Ever as Global Temperatures Rise
Extremely hot day? World is going to end.

Extremely cold day? One day is not a pattern.

This is why fewer and fewer people actually believe in global warming.

deadeye··on System Initiative: Second Wave DevOps
Perhaps we don't deploy six times a day because we're responsible for something a little more important and delicate than a free photo sharing website.

Run your audio through Adobe podcast. It's insanly good.
deadeye··on Ask HN: Is Chat-GPT getting dumber?
There are new open source models popping up every day and soon they'll be forced to compete by taking safeguards off....unless they convince congress to take action and make an ATF like organization that shows up at your door for posting an AI model on hugging face.

Ah. Thanks. Didn't read it all, seemed too clickbaity.

It sounds more like it was a thought experiment.
deadeye··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
Thanks. It's been pretty good so far. Just good clean living, no complaints.
deadeye··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
Wow. I guess it isn't just "one woman".
deadeye··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
Here is an extreme example. I'm not Jewish, so if we had a holocaust in the US I should do nothing because it doesn't affect me?

Hmmm, not sure I like that line of thinking. Plus, I already outlined how it affects me and my family members, one of which runs track in CT.

Seriously though, I did get an LOL from your Dell joke. And another one for "addressable hormonal issues". That was a new one for me.

I am truly curious about the voter role thing, I've not heard that claim before, though I have no doubt that sexual derangement comes in all forms. Can you cite a source?

deadeye··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
So, if the right got their way and the answer was "a woman is an adult female human", it would be a vast right wing conspiracy.

But if it says a woman is "anything that identifies as a woman", then it's still a vast right wing conspiracy?

The world could end tomorrow. News at 11.
deadeye··on AI-generated hoax of an explosion at The Pentagon went viral – & markets dipped
Attribution needs to be established .

I doubt that moved markets. Likely a false flag to cement the narrative about AI. An unconvincing one at that.

Security of data will be a big issue. It's great for an executive to ask "who are my ten highest paid employees?", but not so great when Bill from warehouse can do the same.
deadeye··on PrivateGPT
"without all kinds of nasty social and political problems"

I assure you, those still exist in AI. AI follows whatever political dogma it is trained on, regardless of if you point out how logically flawed it is.

If it is trained to say 1+1=3, then no matter what proofs you provide, it will not budge.

deadeye··on Global warming set to break key 1.5C by 2027
Coral reefs are fine. In fact, the great barrier reef has made a significant comeback.

And yes, cities get hotter and dryer as they make ever more blacktop and dump all their rain water into the ocean.

Right. But what if you've been told that wall is in ten feet, but you go eleven feet and hit nothing. Then you're told, no just three more feet and you'll hit the wall and you go four and hit nothing.

Then your told, well it's less of a wall and more of a curb and it's in five feet. You go ten feet and still hit nothing.

I guess some people will always be Charle Brown.

We could bet on either of those outcomes by 2027. You pick which one. I'm good to bet up to 1k USD.
deadeye··on Global warming set to break key 1.5C by 2027
2027 isn't that far away. Would you like to bet we are still fine in 2027?

What observable deterioration would you bet on?

I 100% agree our goose is cooked someday, in probably another 1,000 years and for some other reason.

And yet, everything is fine.

I doubt people with tens of millions of dollars have a cook to slice up their kid's apple, but I wouldn't know.

Though, I'm sure Elon isn't doing something so mundane.

Funny you mention toilets. I've seen a $8k toilet. I think it was from kolher.
