I'm gonna choose to believe they all involved AI in the design process and AI has a cheeky fetish for humiliating humans.

The decline you're talking about is roughly 168 to 145, or about 2.2% per year over 5 years.

That's hardly a death sentence. More likely just the gradual adoption of higher level frameworks and languages with less ugly parts.

Maybe I'm optimistic or not typical but in my experience people submit random PR to open source projects because they really want the project to do xyz for their own project/reasons, and the project doesn't do xyz.

And the PR is considered "spam" because the maintainer doesn't see xyz as part of his needs or his vision for the project.

There has never been a vote with any impact on the CIA whatsoever.

Here's an idea... How about we put constructive and intelligent people in charge instead of the most compelling narcissists.

I have no doubt the waterfall of bad news could be good news if society were properly engineered in accordance with our scientific progress, rather than in accordance to the easiest accumulation of capital.

You also have to factor in that your connection can drop to 10% far more often because of connection pooling. Each of your neighbors has a gigabit of bandwidth to use too.

Like in a perfect world, if everyone's cars went 10x faster, traffic would be a thing of the past. But because we can't have nice things, we would actually just be stuck in gridlock behind 10x more car crashes.

Nah literally crushing plates would feel so good. Worth the effort to melt it again every few sessions

In equally compelling results, my lawn mower does not cut grass to a uniformly random set of heights.

the argument that prediction models are sports betting is not much different than the argument that stocks are sports betting. Who's to say that capitalism isn't a competitive sport? I mean consider that people have agents making trades for them. It is basically a video game at this point.

I would say his post has the tone of earnest discourse while yours devolves into ad hominem laden reflexive sensitivity.

Which is the pathological take?

AI psychosis is real, but at worst is only premature. AI-denial psychosis is far more pervasive, and will bite far more people in the long run.

I doubt the amount of generators running constitute some sunstantial fossil fuel use, at least not more than 70,000 people sitting at home in air conditioning doing "nothing". I would welcome your math though.

Trashing the planet is mainstream. Taking care of it is counterculture.

LLMs are a distillation of human.

They even banned the term "soy milk"

It's now called "non dairy soy beverage" on every carton.

It is moral to throw your toddler into the pool so that later in life they are less likely to drown.

The engineering was done in the 70's and 80's. This rocket is built out of leftover shuttle hardware.

The exploration in this mission was done 50 years ago.

I fail to see how this mission is noble. It's biggest accomplishment is keeping the NASA beurocratic apparatus in tact.

This spectacle of a mission is precisely the kind of distraction which enables complacency and allows the "dark age of war" to remain dark.

They aren't a database company. They are a full spectrum B2B SaaS contract company. They make far more by up selling services than they do from databases total. Half of their stack will run on whatever db you want.

Fortunately, the most likely outcome is another indefinite delay at the last minute.

agree completely. When the megacorps are building hundreds of datacenters and openly talking about plans to charge for software "like a utility," there has never been a clearer mandate for the need for FOSS, and IMO there has never been as much momentum behind it either.

these are exciting times, that are coming despite any pessimism rooted in our out-dated software paradigms.

Your GPU rendering 1 frame vs your GPU rendering 60 frames.

You're not moving your mouse 100% of the time. Probably less than 25% of the time. Probably using your keyboard less than 25% of the time. It doesn't need to degrade experience OR selectively refresh part of the screen (which it certainly doesn't).

i could be mistaken but from my read, the 'rotation' aspect is nothing new and not dissimilar from normal spin quant, where the importance matrix is rotated during calibration such that the local minima/maxima are more evenly smoothed and excessive/redundant quantization of parameters is avoided.

as for the J-L transformation is way above my head so i'm almost certainly mistaken but it seems to be some clever way to use a bit as a sort of pointer in order to reuse existing chunks of parameter weight data like in a jpeg or zip compression algorithm.

look i just made a single point about VIM OVERCOMING THE LOSS OF ITS CREATOR by pointing to emacs as a WORSE CASE.

I didn't ask for these weirdos to come demanding to litigate every detail of every sick quote he's ever given.

but i will not stand down to karma bullying to cover up sex crimes of a person just because i like his software.

or am i "not understanding his meaning" here somehow again?

"Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per1 psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why.

Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers. Let’s resist the practice of infantilizing teenagers, by not calling them “children”."

THESE ARE THE WORDS RICHARD STALLMAN POSTED ON HIS OWN WEBSITE WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED.

please defend this. i really really want to see you stoop this low.

EDIT: OKAY i'm being DOWNVOTED for bringing these words to light. officially y'all are now covering up for child sex criminals. Sickening.

"I thought she was not a child" is never a defense for raping a child.

In statutory child rape, it does not matter in any way or any context what the behavior of the victim was.

Dear downvoters: softbank has been optimizing their datacenters for robotic technicians since 2020.

They are about to have fully human free datacenters by the end of this year.

When you are designing long term goals with datacenters, as I explicitly mentioned talking about, you can't ignore automation.

"the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing"

if you dont understand what that is saying, i can't help you.
