jasmes··on The dead children we must see
Well put.
jasmes··on The dead children we must see
You're not wrong.
jasmes··on The dead children we must see
I think you're correct.

This topic is breaking my soul. So much suffering and death. Why?

Ungh. I need to watch Firefly and drink.

jasmes··on The dead children we must see
Woof buddy.
jasmes··on The dead children we must see
I wasn't aware society had agreed that war journalism or photojournalism should be neutered.

Maybe I challenge the premise of the article in the sense that... Yeah. No shit?

Honestly... These days I'm so emotionally exhausted that I just see an article like this as a way to get a good by line. Shut up we know kids are being blown up.

Right now I just want to eat maple syrup greek yogurt and listen to pop music while I browse HN. I just can't with the dead kids 24/7 any more.

jasmes··on Ask HN: What did you do or read this weekend that wasn't related to the OpenAI?
I bought a new hairdryer. I'm a little disappointed in it's performance, but it has good ergonomics.
jasmes··on Why is the iOS keyboard getting worse every year?
This is not relevant to the discussion, Apple allows third party keyboards. I'm currently typing this on Google Gboard.
jasmes··on Ask HN: Could Schizophrenia be an analog to over-layering
I do not think schizophrenia is currently understood well enough for it to be a useful analog to anything.

You're better off thinking of a NN in terms of math rather than psychiatry.

jasmes··on Ask HN: Could Schizophrenia be an analog to over-layering
What even...
jasmes··on Wikipedia and the Assault on History
This is not particularly well written or enlightening. It’s almost ChatGPT-esque in its wandering tone and flowery prose. Makes the post-script chatGPT section even more strange.
jasmes··on New Docs Reveal US DHS Conspiracy to Violate First Amendment
Your post is being being informally peer reviewed, not censored.
jasmes··on Why only 1% of the Snowden Archive will ever be published
Journalistic integrity balancing with the national security interests of the most powerful nation on the planet is complicated. I am comfortable trusting the NYT to do their job.

I hope that eventually all the technical papers eventually are available out of nerdy curiosity, but I’d prefer that be through declassification and not espionage.

jasmes··on Ask HN: What Happened to Picture-in-Picture?
IIRC it was mostly useful for letting you channel surf during commercial breaks and using the PIP to know when to flip back, or making sure your VCR was chugging along making your Sopranos bootlegs.
jasmes··on Light and gravitational waves don't arrive simultaneously
This seems intuitive, don’t photons have to interact with stuff and get dragged around by gravity and magnetic fields? I don’t think “gravitons” do that. Neutrinos can arrive before photons IIRC, simply because they don’t strongly interact.

Physics is wild.

jasmes··on Microsoft is failing to deliver emails that mention newclimate.org
The hell does this have to do with on prem vs. cloud hosted emails for organizations?
jasmes··on Jetbrains are offering 65% off Rider personal licenses for 65 hours
Yes it is annoying, but I would not go so far as to say it indicates poor business practices. Jetbrains is a very well run shop and they treat their customers with a great deal of respect.
jasmes··on How to disrupt Quora using OpenAI's GPT?
Quora does a pretty good job of disrupting itself...
jasmes··on Ask HN: What e2e encrypted service I can use for custom notifications?
Um, you could look at something like Matrix possibly?

https://matrix.org/

Your question doesn't really make your goal clear. What are you trying to do exactly?

jasmes··on Ask HN: We are getting close to Russia using nukes and few people care. Why?
Chill. Take a walk without your phone.

Russian elites do not want to die. They won’t launch nukes.

With modern weapons, If an actual WWIII ever happens it’ll be over before you find out it started.

Watch some kpop videos maybe. Cheer up. Calm down.

jasmes··on Ask HN: Xcode users – how do you make it more usable?
I’d just switch to JetBrains AppCode, but I’m very partial to their IDEs.
jasmes··on Blockchain vs. Quantum-Computing – Is Quantum Computing a Threat to Crypto?
Seems to be effing itself up just fine with classical computers.
jasmes··on It is now irresponsible not to talk about UFOs
Chill out wait 20-25 years and we will find out. We got bigger issues for people to put their energy into than whatever the military is up to lately.
jasmes··on Learning the Beauty in Songs: Neural Singing Voice Beautifier
I'm not sure what pitch correction software they looked at to determine the tools are lacking, but modern pitch correction, dynamic EQs, and spectral editing tools can make anyone sound like anything in a very small amount of time.
jasmes··on I made an AI write a story about AI then I made another AI illustrate it
Sex
jasmes··on I made an AI write a story about AI then I made another AI illustrate it
Back in my day cherry pickers were used to fix power lines.

Now cherry pickers are ppl who will never tell you how much fine tuning it took to get their Medium click bait dreams come true.

jasmes··on Will skiing survive? Resorts struggle with climate and housing woes
Yes. People who ski are rich and have ample leisure time. There are more pressing issues to worry about than Vail.
jasmes··on Earendel (farthest known star from Earth) is discovered
Hubble making sure JWST knows who the OG is. What an amazing piece of kit.
jasmes··on The Human Penis Is Remarkably Boring
Yeah, it isn't though is it?
jasmes··on The Mirrortable
It could be written in a less snarky tone but afaik it is at least factually accurate.
jasmes··on The Mirrortable
If this is a thought experiment it’s an interesting enough read.

If this is meant to be practical it is some wicked cart-before-horse thinking. To put it bluntly, VCs wouldn’t want to use Monopoly money and chance cards to fund anything unless the USA and EU agreed that stealing Monopoly money was a more serious crime than absconding with a board game.
