- Comment on Russia dropped over 10,000 guided bombs on Ukraine in just three months 2 days ago:
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t. By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn’t, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn’t. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn’t, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn’t, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn’t be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

- Comment on In a paper, media mogul Tim O'Reilly and economist Ilan Strauss say OpenAI likely trained GPT-4o on paywalled O'Reilly Media books without a licensing agreement. 3 days ago:
I mean it can be controlled for that by checking different texts, such as something that was definitely not in the training set.

Honestly, emergency braking with LIDAR is mature and cheap enough at this point that is should be mandated for all new cars.
- Comment on Trump says 'very angry' with Putin over Ukraine: NBC 6 days ago:
Trump basically forcing half the world off of Russian oil, skyrocketing other oil prices and thus basically solving climate change out of spite would be so funny.

If I had to find something to critique, it is that bad-faith agenda-pushing is still rampant here, from “both sides” - rather all conceivable sides.
Not like I have a solution for it. Maybe forums shouldn’t be this big, and we shouldn’t primarily be talking to strangers.

- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
It did actually. I don’t pay for sending a message or calling my neighbour if I go to the next country or Bulgaria. The EU made it law that roaming is free.
What still costs money is if you send a message in the NL to the NL if you have a Belgian number for example, which makes it so that you still have to get a new number each time you move countries. Or rather the bigger pain is calling my mom who lives in a different member state, that I can’t really do without incurring insane charges.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
That is if you stay within one country. I still get some insane charges if I text someone 60 kilometers away because it’s international.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
IIRC it’s because US cell carriers don’t charge as much as others for sending and receiving SMS

You guys know that you share half your genome with your kids and parents, so it’s not even just the users’ data, but also people who might not even know about this.

- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 1 week ago:
Yeah, but the problem is that the “certain things” can actually encompass “any data about any person”. That’s a hard regex to write.
- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 1 week ago:
From the GDPR’s standpoint, I wonder if it’s still personal information if it is made up bullshit. The thing is, this could have weird outcomes. Like for example, by the letter of the law, OpenAI might be liable for giving the same answer to the same query again.

- Comment on Surprise! People don't want AI deciding who gets a kidney transplant and who dies or endures years of misery 3 weeks ago:
It is better at simple pattern recognition, but much worse at complex diagnoses.
It is useful as a help to doctors but won’t replace them.
As an example, it can give you a good prediction on who likely has lung cancer out of thousands of CT images. It will completely fuck up prognoses and treatment recommendations though.

- Comment on FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights 4 weeks ago:
I recently rented a car from SIXT, a BMW SUV - it was one of their rideshare cars, it was nearest to me, just so you know it was not my choice.
It auto-aligned lights to just slightly blind everyone in front of me. It also had tinted rear windows, wonder why. As a cherry on top, the navigation software made it impossible to anticipate off-ramps, so it had you switch multiple lanes at the last moment.
I think I understand a bit more about why BMW drivers suck.

- Comment on Ukraine: Zelenskyy offers to quit in return for NATO entry 5 weeks ago:
Nothing would really need to change, as if Ukraine was admitted to the EU defence agreement, that is a stronger binding agreement than NATO towards Europe.
And if Russia attacks, and most of NATO is thus at war, the US will then do what the US would have always done either way, which I don’t know what it is at this point.

- Comment on DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong). 1 month ago:
I think it’s both. OpenAI was valued at a certain point because of a perceived moat of training costs. The cheapness killed the myth, but open sourcing it was the coup de grace as they couldn’t use the courts to put the genie back into the bottle.
