Sometimes, I wonder why we even need humanoid robots for some tasks. For example, we had that robot over the past year that would wash the dishes...would be more efficient if it had 8 arms for that job. Or if I wanted it to clean my room, an arm that can extend up to the ceiling.

10k for a hamster will be way more than 10k steps too!

Restricting access to US-only when the training dataset is from data of people around the world and data centers are not all US-only is something that's making me consider not supporting Anthropic.

Based from my experience, stopping drinking didn't have noticeable effects as well. However, whenever I would drink once in a blue moon socially, it feels even worse than what I remember. I think it just felt normal before.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but for AI slop to get into your RSS feed, you have to be following something with slop which can easily be unfollowed; this is unlike algorithmically driven recommendations where there is no direct filter from your end.

Honestly, we’re not the target market for this. I’m pretty sure at this price point though, it will sell like hotcakes. Once people get slightly into the ecosystem, it’s usually a big win for Apple since their stickiness ( from my experience of people around me) is undeniable once you get one product

Understanding a perspective and agreeing with it aren’t the same thing. Herring’s point was about the ‘I don’t see why anyone would need this’ framing, not that the position itself is hard to grasp.

Proton’s $4 a month is where I ended up landing a few years ago and it’s cheaper with the 2-year lock in they give every now and then. Sharing just in case it’s buried under unlimited. Although our usage may vary in case there are things in unlimited you need.

Thank you.

In what’s becoming a monoculture world because of the internet, that seems like a good thing.

@dang, I think we need to start talking about letting AI slop get to the front page and how the community can help flag things as best as we can.

I stopped reading the post before that and went back to check. It's so blatant...especially when it mentions visualizations.

> With theoretical explanations, practical implementations, and visualizations, you now have a comprehensive resource to understand and apply ML math. Point anyone asking about core ML math here—they’ll learn 95% of what they need in one place!

As someone who tended to use "—" in a lot of my writing naturally before, the prevalence of its usage by LLMs frustrate me a lot. I now have to rewrite things that felt natural just so no one will think I'm an LLM.

Just in case you enjoyed this, and based on you using “locationguessr”, I’d recommend looking up Geoguessr :)
