regardless of what biden is or isnt doing, trump would just remove the rights entirely, so still gotta vote for biden

I mean you'd think being so near an airbase with anti air defenses would be safer. seems they intercepted them very late though

anduril (creepy military defense company from right wing tech bro) has made this, I'm sure its absurdly expensive though, and I don't think they sell to random people.

how does that matter if the drive by wire has force feedback.

people argued over fly by wire in planes when it started emerging, how it was taking the safe controllable mechanical link away or whatever, but ultimately it has proven its safety and reliability over mechanical linkages anyway

because lots of (most?) trans people don't want to be "trans", they want to fit in with the gender they know they are, and being labeled as not a real man or woman in the normal sports leagues, but a trans man or woman in the trans league, is insulting.

pretty sure it can run on either, but cpus are slow compared to gpus, often to the point of being impractical

Have you seen that study about the accuracy of chatgpt responding to programming questions? (here) It's wrong 52% of the time, and I can say that I have personally experienced trying to use chatgpt for programming and getting more confused rather than less. Maybe it is because I wasn't using gpt4, or claude, or whatever new model is the best, but I'm just sharing my experience.

Also I support electric vehicles because without them lots of energy (and emissions) is generated for critical infrastructure (we can't ditch cars yet), and so replacing that with renewably generated energy is a good idea.

LLMs consume lots of energy to train and use, but instead of literally moving millions of people around, they assist you in doing things you could have done without them, but with dubious accuracy. Look at the massive use of LLMs in by students to cheat in school, yes they may not get detected, but sometimes they have noticable flaws, that get them in large trouble for being too lazy to actually learn anything.

If you want to learn in depth knowledge about a topic, just go look it up and learn there, it's more helpful than an LLM.

you're getting downvoted because LLMs are simply not very good, they consume lots of energy (bad for climate), and seemingly most people involved in ai hype want to replace human creativity or something.

how about instead of training a not very trustworthy or useful LLM on lots of nyt, 4chan, and "dark web", you go read lots of nyt, 4chan, and dark web to train your own (much better) model (your brain).

the author of the article wrote an article a while ago about how they think steam is enshittifying and becoming bad because they got rid of mac support and some people didn't like steam in the 2000s, so I think this person just takes controversial opinions randomly and writes about them.

breaking taps is very impressive, but sam zeloof made it quite a bit further, he made his own packaged IC. now he runs a startup called atomic semi, that is trying to use electron beam lithography for prototyping.
