  • I Tried RentAHuman, Where AI Agents Hired Me to Hype Their AI Startups

    Jump

  • Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it's a useful tool for some things, and that's it. Just like my fridge doesn't need to have wifi.

  • Beans for the bean gods

  • Breakfast/lunch/dinner of champions/cheapskates. 👍 I have few meals of beans and rice waiting in the freezer.

  • ai;dr | (ai; didn't read)

    Jump

  • I've been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I'm waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

    I want my applications to be like this:

    "So we've published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?"

    (Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

  • Windows is malware

  • And still it forms the central cogs in the corporate machine.

  • You can ask any question to the people of year 3000, but can only receive information in the form of a single bit. What's your question?

  • I'm good.

    ‘Can Mette-Marit be queen after this?’: Rape trial and Epstein files bring double crisis for Norway’s royals

    Jump

  • We wouldn't forget this soon. And king Harald is 88 years old, so it won't be long before his son takes over. If she becomes his queen, she would be an unpopular one.

  • Pentagon says it's cutting ties with 'woke' Harvard, discontinuing military training, fellowships

    Jump

  • Why? They want their millitary officers to stay racist, so it's easier for them to adopt a "us and them" mindset?

  • ‘On a knife edge’: can England’s red squirrel population be saved?

    Jump

  • In Norway we only have the red ones. Shy small things that run to climb up a tree when you approach. You're lucky to see one.

    I saw the grey ones first time when I visited Oxford. Students were sitting in the grass, and a hundred squirrels just ran around in-between them. Very different creatures indeed.

  • Ah, I recognize their cool flag from my vexillology days. 🤓

  • Actor Timothy Busfield indicted on 4 counts of sexual contact with a child

    Jump

  • I suggest people should just stop doing that.

  • An operating system should only be infrastructure to keep programs running. If I want an AI program, I'll seek it out and get it myself.

  • Intel will start making GPUs

    Jump

  • They should stop calling them GPUs. Maybe PPU (parallel processing unit) would work as a general term. But there's higher chance of someone using something like AIPU as a marketing term.

    Tech giants are victims of ‘harassment’ by Irish and EU regulators, US Congress panel claims

    Jump

  • If everyone agreed to move, there would be no problem (as long as the Fediverse can accomodate everyone).

    There's precedent. There was a myriad of social media sites Worldwide at some point. Then in a few years everyone "agreed" to move to Facebook. There are stories of how they aggressively took over markets, but at the end of the day I supposed they had the technically best site. And after over a decade of decay, people are still stuck.

  • To those who are new to this whole fediverse/threadiverse/this thing, how has your experience been?

    Jump

  • I joined today! I tried to post some images, but could only have one image per post. Then someone was rude, and I wasn't able to downvote him. I keep refreshing the front page, but nothing happens since there's no algorithm, the latest posts just stay there.

    I think I'll stick around here in parallel to Reddit. Maybe some day I'll understand how instances and all of that works.

  • Why settle for an American dialect when you could be speaking a European made international language?

    Jump

  • In what way is English not a European made international language?

    China to ban hidden car door handles made popular by Tesla in world first

    Jump

  • That's quite a sensible regulation. You'll more often hear about what things China doesn't regulate, so I'm glad to hear of a pro-consumer law coming into effect.

  • Red hats sweeping the U.S. as resistance knitters embrace 'melt the ICE' pattern

    Jump

  • The hats from the article are not the same type of hats though. They resemble the Canadian toque, I suppose, or in Norway, "lue". Similarly we would call the MAGA dome + sun shade kind of hat "caps".
