whats shallow about the research? it all seems to check out?
shotnothing··on De Bruijn notation, and why it's useful
> Similarly, it seems like languages with de Bruijn indices are immune to LLMs

i think large chain of thought LLMs (e.g. o3) might be able to manage

so does steve jobs, seems to have worked out for him

much more relative to the average worker in many other industries

i think there have been many observations and studies reporting emergent intelligence
shotnothing··on Rust Just Failed an Important Test
sounds like they should have added a warning
shotnothing··on Cameo was once valued at $1B
> if the sites tracking these sort of things can be believed

I really don't think they can

shotnothing··on US EPA Enforcement and Compliance on Apple Fabrication
As you have said, neither you nor the other guy is qualified to make a technical assesment on this and we just have to wait for yhe investigations to play out.

However, what we can assess is the ex-employee's actions and multitude of claims, which while in isolation seems benign, together makes her look more like a vengeful ex-employee than a credible victim

shotnothing··on US EPA Enforcement and Compliance on Apple Fabrication
but it's a strong indictor

just two? given how massive the US and its industrial capacity is, I'd expect it to be way more
shotnothing··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
> They rather famously switched to an Xbox controller for their rolling drones, and for their submarine controls, because they just work better.

Like oceangate?

shotnothing··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
I think software and ecosystem is a big part of it, much more than just hardware
shotnothing··on Tech companies are flocking to the Middle East
The thing is, the death penalties in Singapore are in the single digits per year (out of a population of 6 million, effectively higher as this excludes non-citizens). People are not killed without thought, there is careful and lengthy investigations in each and every case.

The deterrence does work and saves countless lives that would have been taken from ODs and cartel-ish activities

shotnothing··on Tech companies are flocking to the Middle East
how?
shotnothing··on Friends are not a representative sample of public opinion
oftentimes, the metric of a journalist's success is not how accurate or well researched an article is

it is how accessible is, even at the cost of nuance, which leads to more clicks

shotnothing··on Friends are not a representative sample of public opinion
journalists are knowledgeable -> average person says yes

ordinary people are knowledgeable -> average person says not necessarily

shotnothing··on Google made me ruin a perfectly good website (2023)
> for example, only people with gmail accounts that are over 5 years old and who use them at least 3 times per week to eliminate fakers—-but keep this a secret

tbh this is just a bandage, its just going to get botted once people discover the pattern (a lot of premium bot farms do offer mature or hacked gmail accounts anyway) and its going to be worse for legitimate discovery

shotnothing··on TIS-100: Tessellated Intelligence System
after work as an embedded systems engineer, I play a game where I am an embedded systems engineer

10/10 asm is life

shotnothing··on AutoDev: Automated AI-driven development by Microsoft
but the ability to get horses to pull carts is not tied to expert knowledge of hand-pushing plows, neither is machinery to horse-pulling. This is not really the case for AI
shotnothing··on Ex-Google engineer charged with stealing trade secrets
ad revenue
shotnothing··on MacPad: I created the hybrid Mac-iPad laptop and tablet that Apple won't make
Touchscreen is great, touchscreen first UIs are not. I use a touchscreen laptop and the number of times I subconsciously try and tap/scroll/pinch the screen when I use macbooks is frustrating. It is such an improvement over trackpad and a nice compliment to keyboard+mouse
shotnothing··on Computer scientist had bike stolen and tried to explain binary search to a cop
is it actually?
shotnothing··on The Performance Inequality Gap, 2024
but the article shows top of the line androids being dominated by even old iphones
shotnothing··on Lee Kuan Yew on Malta
> Having to be completely obedient to the state wears on the soul

I think this is very overstated, people break laws and talk shit all the time. Just don't do drugs and be an asshole and you should be fine, many laws are not enforced

shotnothing··on Lee Kuan Yew on Malta
the forming of those relationships, vision to form a tax haven and ability to stay in power by managing relationships between foreign powers to not experience a 'coup' is precisely leadership
shotnothing··on Lee Kuan Yew on Malta
but there was heavy foreign influence and support on the left-wingers and pro-worker representation, from the communist bloc
shotnothing··on Nvidia RTX 5880 Ada 48GB Professional GPU Launched
it has double the VRAM on a single card, thats significant
shotnothing··on Gentoo goes Binary
i think you made a point for why being opinionated is good, which is not really the debate here
