Maybe not. You will have the same number of tax preparers chasing less work. Through the magic of the Free Market™️, shouldn’t that mean pressure to reduce prices? We can only hope.

I heard that in Sheldon Coopers voice.

Not quite. I think you may be referring to their genome transplant. They used a natural cell and completely replaced the original genome with synthesized DNA. Whereas this project did not rely on existing cellular machinery.

Grooming the youth, that’s the kind of indoctrination you need. As a missionary, the only non-indoctrinated adults who got into the BoM were, let’s say, simple.

It’s like, their whole thing!

By any chance are you a fan of Strong Towns? If not they are very active in trying to kill Stroads

Fuzzy duck, ducky fuzz. Does he fuck? Fuck he does!

I do wish it was more common to realize there is no wrong way to dance (except inadvertently injuring your partner, I guess). It’s your body, wiggle it the way you want

But it’s really good at spitting out JavaScript code that works the first time you run it. Of all the languages I have tried an LLM assistant with, the JavaScript output is the best. Im guessing that’s because it had almost every working webpage on the internet to learn from.

I mention this because how is being able to construct working code from a plain language description not a type of intelligence? Perhaps a narrow form, but the proof is in the pudding, it outputs working code that fits an arbitrary purpose.

Just bringing that up for discussion. I don’t really care if LLM are ‘intelligent’ or not, but the utility is obvious. Even if the LLM isn’t smart, it still speeds progress by acting as an extension of my own so called intelligence.

This is sad news. He was deeply influential and at the same time a somewhat obscure author. At least, in my experience, he didn’t have the name recognition other - dare I say lesser - authors had.

One lesson I learned as a young person from reading A Fire Upon the Deep was to never believe anything just because it was on the internet. That alone makes his legacy worth remembering.

Id be curious to try SDR. Will anyone experienced in it outline a simple ‘hello world’ type project a tech-savvy SDR noob could try to get started? The article is good but I guess I am seeking insights and discussion on the best starting point.

I feel the wave of exhaustion you are talking about. Everyone is in a different place, but the common experience of ‘hold up a minute’ during Covid has changed us all, somehow.

It’s going to be a long, hot summer here in the Northern hemisphere and everyone is in a ‘mood’. I can’t say exactly what shenanigans will occur, but I guarantee the Summer of '24 will be one for the history books.

Or the usefulness and accuracy of the information. The Anarchists Cookbook is an objectively shitty book that sells only to naive edgelords. Naturally, I had a copy. Then I turned 16

In color!

I know how I feel about it. There are many good and unique things about religion.

The good things are not unique and the unique things are not good.

Lars and the Real Girl. It sounds like a risible premise that is actually super human and skillfully executed.

Nothing, it’s inherently part of the design of ActivityPub.

I think that he is an aspen tree, because of the way he is.
