Why? Orbital DCs are completely impractical and unrealistic.

It's the opposite. If your morality only exists by presupposing the existence of God it's not grounded in reality and collapses when you discover God does not exist. Morality can only be defined outside the realm of the supernatural.

That's sad. I watched the first two parts of Nerds 2.0.1 earlier this year and haven't gotten around to part three. Triumph of the Nerds and Nerds 2.0.1 are a fantastic look at 90's tech. He managed to interview most of the top people.

I had that happen to me once. My bin had a broken wheel so I'm not sure if it was a mistake, they did it to help me out, or if they somehow did additional damage and took it. They gave me a new one without having to contact anyone so they knew they did it.

I've been encountering the same waiting problems. It likes to run things in the background with suppressed output, waiting for it to exit before it takes action. That's great when nothing goes wrong but today alone I've had to break in two or three times when something obviously broke and it was sitting for over 10 min.

IMO it should have the option to observe background tasks with a small model to make sure it's working correctly.

Edit: It just happened again, something that was actually completed didn't exit and it waited 30min for a timeout.

A 100kloc PR is unacceptable regardless of the source. That needs to be broken down into reviewable chunks.

It's not. Read the article, they have a good reason for banning it and it's not because they hate LLMs.

No one is celebrating and using LLMs isn't necessarily a waste of energy. Where I live isn't relevant, LLMs use the same amount of power regardless of where their users are. You also know nothing about how I use electricity in my home, how I monitor my overall energy use and carbon output, and how I offset it.

IMO the announcement is better https://aleph-alpha.com/en/blog/kolibri-has-landed-a-soverei...

Sure, they have to cover their other costs and make money. I was trying to put the energy use in perspective.

To put that in perspective my house uses an average of 1300kWh per month. Adding 30kWh per month would be an increase of 2.3% at a cost of around $4.20, not enough to notice.

Not that it excuses how long some FF bugs have been around but they can work on multiple products at the same time.

> oldschool lead-acid are much cheaper

Source? Last time I checked a few years ago the prices were similar and lithium has dropped significantly since then.

No one questions the technical achievements of the SR-71. It doesn't make any sense to try to resurrect them though.

How is this jeering? I'm pointing out important facts about one of the subjects in the story that weren't included. I didn't celebrate or express my opinion. Should I have worded it in a different way?

It does suck for everyone else who didn't vote for this and I feel for them.

I didn't highlight anything either, that's Google's doing.

I don't mean their own LLM generated response to the query. I mean websites in the SERP. A lot are auto generated LLM slop. DDG isn't doing anything to filter out this low quality junk from their index.

The same can be said for most tech companies during the dotcom boom.

Unfortunately DDG sucks now too. Most of the top results are LLM generated slop.

It sounds like doing the homework is a form of practice exercises for the quizzes.

That's far superior than running an outdated general computing platform. Electromechanical devices are simple, easy to understand, and replaceable. It may be harder to diagnose problems but with maintenance it will work forever.

> That’s roughly the same as someone running Windows 10 today

While true the situation is different. Hardware and software moved a lot faster in the 90's and early 2000's. Everything has matured, is far more standardized, and moves more slowly now. Hardware from 11 years ago when Win10 was released isn't that different from today's hardware. Same goes for Win10 and Win11.

It's not unheard of but is unfortunately rare. The FCC sent a nastygram to one of the 7.200 nuts recently.

And Garry Tan has repeatedly defended Flock and badmouthed people who oppose them.

> Something like it is basically a requirement if you want to see digital ads.

It is not a requirement and no one wants to see ads.

Do those rates hold across multiple videos over a period of time? I've seen at least one case where someone did an A/B test of an AI thumbnail and the reason his engagement went up because everyone hated it and was commenting to say as much.

> not real artist tools

Nice no true Scotsman fallacy. PS is a "real" artist tool.

Can you provide more details? Do you mean 100 public cameras anyone can access?
