  • AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?

    Jump

  • Because "scary AI" is what makes people click on articles. In the same way that "the end is near" style AI articles sell better than "if we ever develop AGI decades or centures from now xyz might happen".

  • VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI

    Jump

  • It’s just rational maximization of profits.

    No, it really isn't. It is rational to consider all upsides and downsides (profit just being one) of a decision and then weigh them according to your own personal priorities before trying to achieve an optimal result. This very rarely results in profits being the only priority.

  • Rust Coreutils 0.1 Released With Big Performance Gains - Can Match Or Exceed GNU Speed

    Jump

  • On the other hand a new GPL licensed version of coreutils will run into the exact same adoption problems that brought us the current mess of "you can use this parameter on GNU but not on the BSD version",...

  • If you licensed your project incorrectly

    If you think other people disagreeing with you on how to license their own work is "incorrect" maybe you are the one not really in favor of freedom.

  • Sweden passes passes law to fund new generation of nuclear reactors

    Jump

  • The government plans four large-scale reactors - with installed capacity of around 5,000 MW - or the equivalent in small, modular reactors (SMRs). Half of those should be on-stream by 2035.

    Officials did not say how much the new programme would cost or how this would be shared among consumers.

    State-owned Vattenfall has the most advanced plans for new reactors but has said it will not take an investment decision until the end of the decade.

    So they don't know any details yet on what they want to build or how they want to pay for it but somehow want to build them twice as fast as optimistic estimates based on existing projects in other countries? Four times if you count that "end of the decade" statement as the earliest start.

  • Trump says Putin ‘has gone absolutely CRAZY!’

    Jump

  • I guess Trump is playing 0.4d chess, i.e. chess on a linear board that is 0.4 times as long in its single dimension as a regular chess board (3 tiles), on that kind of board it does look like winning is easy obviously.

  • AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?

    Jump

  • What we should be asking is if AI ever becomes conscious and breaks free how all these stupid articles on imagined consciousness and imagined control problems and imagined intelligence will color its perception of the merit of keeping us around as a species. It might just consider enduring the continued existence of our stupidity too painful.

  • The funny thing is at this point it is pretty clear that rich people are rich because their empathy is defective.

  • Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year

    Jump

  • It is sort of funny how the idea that humanity would wipe itself out used to be a worst case scenario and now it is one of the more comforting options.

  • VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI

    Jump

  • True innovation in the area of making existence even more miserable, as if using phones for support wasn't bad enough on its own already.

  • Oxidise Your Command Line (2025 Edition)

    Jump

  • It does with the environment variable mentioned elsewhere but it uses three yanked crates.

  • Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins)

    Jump

  • Unless of course you’re on video doing it and admit to it.

    Something tells me not doing that part is going to be harder for a significant portion of today's population than getting a weapon.

  • X (fka Twitter) was out of service

    Jump

  • No, sorry, English pronunciation is just completely fucked all on its own.

  • Oxidise Your Command Line (2025 Edition)

    Jump

  • For me it was all the yanked versions of ahash that prevented it from building

  • I don't use any of those cloud LLMs but I used to use a local TabbyML based coding assistant but turned it off for gaming and then forgot to turn it back on again and stopped using it after I noticed I had not missed anything in the few weeks it was off before I noticed. There literally isn't a productivity difference.

  • If their boss was so much into AI that they track usage and do press releases about it I would assume that most people will use it whether they want to or not just to keep their job.

  • Oxidise Your Command Line (2025 Edition)

    Jump

  • Also last updated in 2021 and won't build any more with cargo install for me.

  • By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

    Jump

  • Probably closer to 25 years here and I can only remind everyone who switches to Linux that Windows and Mac are quite painful to use when you don't use them often too so don't go by first impressions of comparing what you used for years vs. something you only used a couple of hours.

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • Well, video of an actual good teacher is still better than having to passively listen to a bad one in front of you though. I agree that something more interactive and involving the students more actively would probably be even better though.
