tcp_handshaker··on Japan halves speed limit to 30km/h on all narrow city streets
No I mean up to 60... km/h

https://youtu.be/aEHIqqaPIqI

And you can see here "normal" bikes clocked at 36 Km:

you get hit by one of these silent missiles, with an 80kg passenger on it, you spend weeks in hospital...you are older person, its life threatening...

Amsterdam bikes are terrifying :-))

tcp_handshaker··on Quasar 438B: Europe's Leading AI Model
Europeans will raise a wall, to keep away all Americans, uninsured, and unemployed by the US Oligarchs automation. You voted for it...two times...
tcp_handshaker··on Japan halves speed limit to 30km/h on all narrow city streets
Its ironic, because the biggest danger in Amsterdam are cyclists doing well over 60 inside town narrow streets.
tcp_handshaker··on Muse Spark 1.3
Would it not make more sense, assuming the purpose is to have a quick smoke test of model quality...to do a different animal, in a different setting each time, so as to defeat any tuning for your benchmark? Then go back and do the same for other models? Keep the pelican as a side baseline?

That data center was setup wrongly, is broken and unusable for training. Its amazing Musk manages to fool even Anthropic.
tcp_handshaker··on Startup Anti-Patterns
This type of advice is much like best practices. One of the core reasons why AI will fail.

Its a bit like cooking advice

- Products should be fresh

- Use the best ingredients

- Salt early and correctly

- Cook by temperature, not time

And so on but then you cook side by side with a pro chef...and does not taste the same...

tcp_handshaker··on Do You Still Need to Read AI Code?
"Almost a year into my agentic journey, I’m now quite confident that I don’t need to know every line of code. I get that confidence by knowing that the system behaves as intended, remains maintainable, and lives within the established boundaries."

This is insanity, and at the same time, the strongest and best argument to fire all these useless humans.

tcp_handshaker··on $40T Debt, 6.7% Mortgages and $5 Diesel
>> If you're just being an angry partisan here... well, okay.

I know. I try to be all balanced and fair, but then I look at a resource like this one:

https://goppredator.com/

realize all the cases there are true, and well referenced, and then dont know what to say...maybe just say, NOT all Republicans are of course pedophiles, but most pedophiles are Republican?

tcp_handshaker··on $40T Debt, 6.7% Mortgages and $5 Diesel
If there one thing that definitely exceeds the corruption and pedophile protection rings of Republicans, is Democrats unique ability to fumble and completely destroy historic opportunities. From the sabotage of Bernie Sanders, to the push forward of a geriatric Biden. Wait and you will see...
tcp_handshaker··on There's no reason for software to be slow anymore
Every post by the this person, beats the record for most unreadable, most difficult to parse, smallest font, mangled and aggregated paragraphs.

Make it as harder as possible to communicate your message...I am not sure if this is supposed to pass for minimalism...but looks more lie readability hostile snobbery. Good content does not excuse contempt for the person trying to read it.

If your argument is worth attention, presenting it legibly is basic respect for the reader....

tcp_handshaker··on 'Ghost job' ads are getting so bad that lawmakers want to ban them
What a naive attitude. There are companies who have the same jobs posted for years without hiring anybody. This is easy to find, using search engine caches.

Also normal discussion with HR persons, will quickly make realize most job posts are fake. They just have it open in case "the right candidate comes along..."

And most important you have payrolls dat from companies like ADP, and internal data from aggregators like Indeed.

About 3 in 5 jobs are ghost.

tcp_handshaker··on Nvidia dramatically reduces amount of OpenAI infra financing it may guarantee
Three more voices who agree with Zitron:

"Aswath Damodaran: Big Tech Has No Idea How AI Pays Off" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49229981

Lots a broken clocks would you say?

tcp_handshaker··on AI isn’t outthinking mathematicians, it’s out-remembering them
>> The argument that I'm making was not at all discussed in the video. Can you point to the exact time in the video this argument is made?

03:56 - https://youtu.be/5GGGhI9ablQ?t=235

Conceptually is the same. For a moment I though you were him.

tcp_handshaker··on Nvidia dramatically reduces amount of OpenAI infra financing it may guarantee
Except once again Ed Zitron is right, and as he mentioned, there is no guarantee or contract signed, there is only a memorandum of understanding...

NVIDIA keeps showing the smarts acting like a bank, while having none of the liabilities and deferring them to Goldman...

"...Memorandums of understanding signed with six of the world’s premier financial institutions to create these partnerships aim to establish the first compute financing platforms of their kind at global scale to enable the AI infrastructure buildout across NVIDIA’s ecosystem..."

It did not work out....

Your objection seems to be that his list of examples was, in fact, a list of examples. :-)
tcp_handshaker··on What happens when an LLM never sees material beyond fifth grade?
>> Your image is wealthy people is cartoonish.

In the meanwhile, we can all publicly see how the the billionaires and trillionaires, behave and settle their priorities exactly, in the cartoonish way you are dismissing.

- The incredible insecurity and constant need for personal validation.

- The absurd and obsessive pursue of further wealth when it would be temporally impossible to even spend 1% of their current capital.

- The extreme level of cowardice, where an auto plant worker, can call out the powers to be, the pedophile protectors that they are. At the same time, only Jensen Huang did not submit itself, to the humiliation of standing behind face and front at the presidential inauguration...
