Yes, I don’t know anyone who’s older or younger then me. It’s all a lie.

Fads? Science on intelligence is solid and progressing steadily. We now can point to specific neural processes that determine how well brain operates and explain differences in intelligence. Popular understanding of intelligence is still stuck on basic IQ tests used to compare completely different populations. At some point some feel-good concepts like EQ caught on and it was fashionable to dismiss IQ as ableism or something. You can still see a lot of it but I guess enough research on intelligence is done and some of it still leaks through to the public.

And the biggest lie they spread is that social media is good for democracy.

All those things matter:

• number of EVs on the roads
• number of private chargers
• number of public chargers
• average range
• average charging speed
• average trip distance

For EVs to work you need to have adequate combination of all of them. You can’t simply say “charging speed doesn’t matter” while ignoring range, number of EVs and distance people travel. Why do people insist on focusing only one thing at a time? First it was all about range, not it’s all about charging speeds. It’s not that simple.

There’s no journalism in US anymore. It’s all just different flavors of corporate propaganda.

I will wait for Wi-Fi X.

I tried different things over the years and each time I simply forget to update the tool and just keep track of what needs to be done in my head. In my experience those things are useful for organizing teams. For a one person project a piece of paper should be enough.

Surprisingly, the answer is “it depends”.

I said it years ago: it’s hard to improve on a tiny personal computer with millions of free apps and access to all the people and information in the world. The next step will be some sort of brain-computer interface that will let you access all the information instantly but it’s decades away.

From what I understand hacking crime requires intent and it’s hard to prove that company testing AI agent intended to hack something.

Isn’t he like a semi-truck or something?

First, people are comfortable with having smart speakers recording everything they say and sending it to some random people to listen to so…

Second, it’s like social media algorithms that are designed to be addictive. The other day someone used ChatGPT voice assistant next to me and it’s designed to sound like an actual person. It speaks in a very natural, casual voice and makes those very short pauses, like it’s thinking about the answer and what words to use. It’s clearly trained on some voice messages people send to one another. It’s designed to sound like one of your friends. I can easily imagine someone using it once to ask about tree frog mating rituals or something and get hooked. I can imagine anyone falling for this and quickly treating it like a person. It’s build for that.

Yes but that’s a completely different issue than the one the article describes.

Not really an issue if the knowledge they expose you to is still more than you can absorb. Classic web search can show you 10x more info but you will just skim it anyway and absorb only tiny portion of it.

Are beowolf clusters still a thing? If yes, imagine one made out of those.

The fact that every OS comes with pre-installed email client and everyone knows at least 3 free email providers but most people have no idea what matrix even is?

Any selfhosted, web based, alternative YT client? I’ve tried some quickly but nothing worked out of the box. Any recommendations?
