Just because you have insurance doesn't mean they can't bill you into bankruptcy. Even with it, my parents see a pile of bills for stuff that is covered, and then it's a long drawn out fight to get shit paid.

ChatGPT is awesome at building small blocks of logic that isn't performance constrained.

It makes some interesting mistakes, but it makes some clean code, and put's in some reasonable comments and uses good variable names.

But for anyone that makes their living as a "short order coder" this can get through their week of coding in an afternoon.

And comparing ChatGPT4 to the AI from last month, It was making smarter code, it was optimizing the performance with a better algorithm.

It's won't be long before someone figures out how to make it ponder on a problem, and that will be a crazy leap forward.

Ah yes we know what happens when we go guns ablazing... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

You brought the floppy to the office assistant that would print for you... pshaaa- letting people print unsupervised,, madness I say.

The 10mb hard drive... it was amazing, not waiting 3 minutes to insert disk #2.

The net energy output is negative,, the problem is that we make ammonia via the Haber process. So the energy is coming from methane being burned with atmospheric Air at high pressure and temperature.

20% of the worlds energy is used by the Haber Process, making me think that this is just a bad way to waste power.

I think it's really cool, but I don't see how it is a better solution than just using methane directly.

Actually this get's into a legal nightmare.
Child abuse is now off the table.
Retirement age is going to be just after college.
Getting the Fields Medal just got much harder for them.
Sorry, the ball pit is for children 7 any younger... it's not for 30 year olds.
Poor kid is going to be hit with Megan's law if there is a disgruntled parent.
Prosecuted as an adult, "he's over 40 your honor".
Though probably eligible for a Geriatric early release while still healthy enough to enjoy it.
I figure this should be another Tom Hanks movie, a cross between "Forrest Gump" and "The Terminal"

I may have missed the boat, and on a quick attempt on reading it, I just see a swirl of buzzwords. Other than some marketed garbage, is this a real thing, or is it just some way to sell coders on a framework?

And Round Earth Conspiracy... and Old Earth conspiracy, And Moon Landing! GO GO GO Trust the Science!

We need Elisabeth Bik "super-spotter of duplicated images in science papers" But the AI version of her.

Really, Seems to me that this is an issue that should have been solved 30 years ago, for people forcing pins out of people. Having the system where a person can put in a distress code on their phone and it will alert the police that you are being harmed. And additionally having the wallets report fake amounts and all sorts of other items that could be set by the end user. Honestly just having a "mild distress" code on my phone would be nice. Where the browser history doesn't have questions like "how to synthesize ricin" when my boss asks to borrow my phone because it has a full charge. This is totally workable and having several "distress modes/codes" could thwart rubber hose password hacking. It's no good for thumbprint unlock.. but that's just a damn excuse for criminals to carry hand pruners around.

First, giving the Cable Companies any sort of vertical monopoly is a bad thing, they've shown that they will abuse the situation if they have no competition. However they are going to fail because they are in their own way. They will hamstring themselves because developing a solid digital presence will involve the loss of some streams of revenue.. So they wont take the important steps of moving their alluring content into the streaming area. And they are going to hold on to commercials.

I tried the CBS all access, and poof I was watching the news on their pay service, and a @#$#$ Ad is right in the mix. On a service marketed as "ad free"

I'm ok paying for content. I'm not ok paying for advertisements. I'll go into the cinema a few minutes late just to avoid that BS.

1996, BeOS build a Database as a file system. And even on spinning rust it was impressive. So it had relational Database like performance on indexable searches. And the find box was would auto-populate if a new file entered existence. So yes, I think the FS can be way better. and search is important. And people keep re-hashing these same concepts. At some point one of them will be compelling enough to become a standard. On a quick glance I'm not sure if this one is it. But I'm digging the 64byte file-anchor, which seems really awesome for the need to search on file-type. But lots of those time I'll be searching for a partial filename somewhere in someone's directory. And I'm totally wondering how hard links will look.

Being full of HIV and Covid could lead to the possibility of the HIV Reverse Transcriptase reading the Coronavirus RNA.
And as HIV has a a high mutation rate due to the RT enzyme not being especially careful about the copy process being correct.

Seems like a good reason to prevent these things from mixing.

On the other side, Hirohito was also looking at a coup by his Generals who were planning to fight down to the last civilian. The generals were unconvinced that we had more A-bombs. The Kamikaze waves were sinking lots of ships. After invading Okinawa and Saipan The USA had an idea of how hard taking the island was going to be. So while Hirohito was looking that direction, bomb #2 convinced generals,
