  • There is no AI bubble

  • Okay, that's more or less what I was expecting. A lot of my work is on smaller problems with more open ended solutions and in those scenarios I find the AI only really helps with boiler plate stuff. Most of the packages I work with it only ever has a fleeting understanding or mixes up versioning so badly that it's really hard to trust it.

  • I'm just amazed whenever I hear people say things like this as I can't get any model to spit out working code most of the time. And even when I can it's inconsistent and/or questionable quality code.

    Is it because most of your work is small iterations on an existing code base? Are you only working with the most popular tools that are better supported by models?

  • I'm not sure the materials science was there. Sometimes things don't catch on because it's just not feasible with the technology we have at the time.

    For example, a lot of scientists during the Renaissance created machines that would eventually be feasible, but just couldn't be made at the time.

    Example: da-vinci flying machine

  • I mean history is full of different sects of a religion going to war with each other (or at least hating each other).

  • No, I don't think so, just playing on the fact Stanley is a also the name of a tool company.

  • Ayaneo's 'Pocket Play' is an Android phone with slide-out gamepad controls [Gallery]

  • The biggest issue for me with the Xperia Play was that the lack of thumbs ticks kept it stuck as an emulator for retro consoles (it could play ps1 and N64 games, but inputs held it back). This will fall into the same spot, where you can only really play games that don't require a thumbs tick. So if it's your daily driver, you end up with a device that's making sacrifices as a phone and gaming device.

    I still liked my Xperia Play, but I don't think I would have recommended it to people.

  • That sounds crazy to me.

  • Quilter's AI just designed an 843‑part Linux computer that booted on the first try. Hardware will never be the same.

  • I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go

  • With Obamacare premium hikes, more people opting for no coverage or cheaper plans

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. The whole middleman system that acts as a barrier to just regular care is beyond broken.

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, it's totally outrageous how much money we pay in and how little actual healthcare providers get. The system is just so broken.

  • For 2nd time, grand jury refuses to indict New York AG Letitia James: Sources

    Jump

  • Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing. My point was that the norm was not getting an indictment on a grand jury was embarrassing and hurt someone's career. This disincentivized prosecutors from repeatedly bringing a case to a Grand Jury. But Trump and his cronies don't care, breaking the norm, and will keep pushing to get what they want.

    Jump

  • Yeah, just another destruction of norms.

  • China would destroy US military in fight over Taiwan, top secret document warns

    Jump

  • I think much like WWII, we have no idea what a war between two modern powers would actually look like.

    Would one be able to take out the others satellites? Could either defend their factories from long range missiles? Could any country function for long without the global economy providing food/raw materials/etc.?

  • I noticed you mentioned that insurance has always "cost me more than it saved me". I feel like this is a fundamental issue in how Americans think about health insurance.

    Insurance should cost you more than you get out, if everyone got more than they put in it would be insolvent. However, Healthcare in the US has become so broken that insurance=access to many.

    We shouldn't need insurance to access our primary care doctors or basic treatment, but for some reason it's designed around this complicated opaque system.

  • Robotron 2084 - there is a place by me that still has the arcade cabinet.

    Jump

  • My point is Trump can keep brining it to a Grand Jury cause it effectively costs him nothing. It only takes one grand jury to indicate and then Trumps political enemies (Comey/etc.) are forced to pay legal fees (amongst other things).
