  • Trump rages at Biden for wrecking his plans for executions: ‘Makes no sense’

    Jump

  • Yes, I also agree that the president that commuted many death sentences is exactly the same as the president wanting to execute all of the prisoners

  • With OpenAI's latest release, it's becoming apparent that AGI is looming and it would cause OpenAI to end its partnership w/ MSFT IIRC

  • Why are my matrix/element push notifications so delayed?

    Jump

  • Is element on the main profile or are you waiting for notifications from secondary profiles? Also, might not be related, but my messaging notifications w/ GrapheneOS has gotten worse in the past week or so (Google Messaging hasn't always alerted to new messages until I open the app and it pulls them) so it might be a Graphene thing as well.

  • President Biden commutes sentence for former Dixon, Ill. Comptroller Rita Crundwell, who embezzled over $53M

    Jump

  • Not a huge fan of Biden's presidency, but it sounds like his commutations were based on whether society deemed them eligible for home release during covid. I'm assuming he didn't individually look at all 1,500 other commutations. Unless I'm reading it wrong, society deemed her low risk and she has been out of prison since 2021.

    Definitely sloppy tho.

  • OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji found dead in San Francisco apartment

    Jump

  • RIP. Hope that his whistleblowing doesn't end up falling on deaf ears

    What are your parlor tricks?

  • I popped and locked back in the day and can do the wave w/ my arms. I end up doing it on like 80% of first dates that are going well.

  • Hardware recs for newb? Please.

    Jump

  • If you are concerned about HDDs failing, I would try the nvme instead. For me, I have a 1tb external HDD connected to my server-laptop. It's definitely an eye-sore but my server is basically on the shelf out of the way and I SSH into the server 99% of the time unless it goes down.

    The HDD is not blazingly fast by any means, but I stream jellyfin videos which is great. There is maybe a 1-2 second pause before a movie starts, but there are no noticeable buffering after, even @ 1.75 speed

  • If you have a spare laptop/phone, I'd find a good tutorial and start there and then venture towards new hardware as your needs require it. Personally, I bought a (used) laptop when my main laptop wouldn't boot, but then I wiped my malfunctioning laptop and it started working again. I've been using the used laptop as a server ever since.

    Personally, I have yet to find something that I couldn't self-host on the laptop and still don't quite grasp why I'd need a heavier-powered device.

  • Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care? When Trump takes over, Republicans may try to eliminate trans health care in America. Some fear Democrats won't stop them

    Jump

  • How does the duopoly have full control if Republicans have the majority in the House/Senate/Supreme Court?

  • Trump surgeon general pick involved in gun accident aged 13 that killed her father

    Jump

  • I also expected better from The Guardian. This feels like it should be a sentence in a Wikipedia page not an article that introduces her to the public

  • redlib (reddit) & Huginn

  • Thanks for the update!

  • The phony comforts of AI skepticism

    Jump

  • The author from the article did. It's a bit of a stretch as are the last 2-3 pieces of the list 🤷🏾‍♂️. The first few are still pretty big.

  • How random has your life been?

    Jump

  • Reading books in the elevator got me a promotion from working in the call center -> becoming an analyst. Changed my life trajectory. The VP of Finance saw the books I was reading, we had a brief convo and then he offered me a job the next week.

    Second most interesting one is I bought $180 worth of option calls on Heinz Ketchup, and then they randomly got bought out by Warren Buffett. I think it was a total of $28k in profits at a time when I was making maybe 30-40k/year

  • Is super-intellignence smarter than all humans? I think where we stand now, LLMs are already smarter than the average human while lagging behind experts w/ specialized knowledge, no?

  • Do you have an example of human intelligence that doesn't rely on pattern recognition through previous experience?

  • At what point do you think that your opinion on AI trumps the papers and studies of researchers in those fields?

  • Respectfully, none of the aforementioned examples are simple, or else humans wouldn't have needed to leverage AI to make such substantial progress in less than 2 years.
