The cost is skill atrophy. When was the last time you wrote something entirely from scratch by hand without AI assistance? It’s a skill entirely separate from prompting and reviewing. And it atrophies when you stop using it.

I’m pretty surprised to see no mention of Agility in the conversation about other humanoid companies

Heavy headphone use makes people feel lonelier, the survey found.

Correlation for sure, I’m less sure about causation though. It seems equally likely to me that other factors are driving increased social anxiety/isolation which in turn drives people to wear headphones to avoid social interactions.

The CTOs I talked to aren't making a dumb choice. They're solving real problems.

Unrelated to the content of the article, this sentence structure is a dead giveaway of LLM writing.

The districts of both representatives (Chicago for Garcia, and Harrisburg for Perry) flatly oppose it, as do their state governments.

You’ll have to cite your sources there, friend. As a constituent of one of those districts myself, I certainly do not oppose it! All my homies hate ALPRs.

Shoutout to Sonic Pi (https://sonic-pi.net/) for still being the best at this.

Because you still have to read the code AI writes. I would argue it’s even more important than ever for code to be human readable.

Income != profit. Income is revenue. It sure would be nice if businesses were taxed on income, given that’s how people are taxed and all. Aren’t corporations supposedly people now thanks to citizens united?

A side effect of replacing entire pages with images is that the file size will expand dramatically. Most PDFs only contain a couple of images

I always thought it was a bit silly to refer to it as a “zero player game“.

I’m surprised no one is talking about the 2038 problem.

The problem is that they are opting to ban all games labeled “NSFW”, not just rape/incest games.

Gaming. Linux gaming has come a long way (especially thanks to the steam deck) but the vast majority of games are still only released on Windows.

We are so back.

requires a model of how consciousness works.

Not necessarily an entire model, just a single defining characteristic that can serve as a falsifying example.

any information they can communicate to me, exists entirely in (R^n)^c

Also no. This is just a result of the digital medium we are currently communicating over. Merely standing in the same room as them would communicate information outside (R^n)^c.

This could become a big issue if neuralink's technology is to be taken seriously.

Isn’t this basically the point they were making?

We’re wasting our youth on the fever dreams of old men.

One of the most significant use cases that gets impacted is game dev.

Web games benefit significantly from SAB (see the Godot engine for example) and mobile games make up a pretty sizable chunk of app store usage, particularly in app purchases.

If the source is open to read, for me it's open source.

That’s called “source available”. Open source colloquially implies open license.

The dress code is pretty outdated and doesn’t add anything of substance. Let the players be comfortable, we just want to see good chess!

My friend, you have eaten the onion.

In what world does disallowing blatantly anticompetitive behavior constitute a significant economic change?

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article

I actually stumbled across this paper while researching exactly that question! A reliable method for transforming gaussians into geometry seems like it could dramatically change the gamedev asset pipeline.

No, they really aren’t and I’m not sure why I keep seeing this take. ML weights are binary and it’s painfully obvious.

They are the end result of a compilation process in which the training data and model code are compiled into the resulting weights. If you can’t even theoretically recreate the weights on your own hardware it isn’t open source.

Google’s OCR service is reliably accurate and can handle large documents (up to 20MB) https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/ocr

That’s a bold assumption given they don’t even take their current responsibilities seriously…
