- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 3 days ago:
It’s not great.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 2 weeks ago:
Memory hogging browsers usually do release memory when pressured. You can take it further by getting extensions that unload unused tabs.
The problem electron apps that load the whole browser core over and over.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t work. Any semi complex problem with multiple constraints and your team of AIs keeps running circles. Very frustrating if you know it can be done. But what if you’re a “fractional CTO” and you get actually contradictory constraints? We haven’t gotten yet to AIs who will tell you that what you ask is impossible.

What full ass changes have you made that can’t be done better with a refactoring tool?
I believe Claude will accept the task. I’ve been fixing edge cases in a vibe colleague’s full-ass change all month. Would have taken less time to just do it right the first time.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung 3 weeks ago:
That you don’t need AGI for a paperclip maximizer was obvious a decade ago antipope.org/…/dude-you-broke-the-future.html
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 3 weeks ago:
More like 1, sometimes 2, errors in 90% of wikipedia’s longest and most active articles.
- Comment on I dunno 4 weeks ago:
And in some languages a number can be used as a name of a variable or a function, so it can be anything really
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 5 weeks ago:
The article is about a XAML bug, which affects a lot of core components, when used in a corporate setting.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 month ago:
To a billion parameter matrix inverter? Probably not too hard, maybe not at those speeds.
To a GPU, or even just the functions used in GenAI? We don’t even know if those are possible with analog computers to begin with.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 month ago:
But it only does 16x16 matrix inversion.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 1 month ago:
Will they pay for it though? The real cost of it, I mean.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 2 months ago:
Disks or partitions?
- Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes 2 months ago:
Kind of besides the point. Yes they don’t add anything unique and yes it was most likely because if hype, but NFTs is just what they used in the wip to store the signatures on, but the core principle is flawed no matter what you put it on.
- Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes 2 months ago:
A digital signature works with public/private keys and content hashes. This is a solved problem.
- Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes 2 months ago:
What would that solve? NFTs don’t have to be powerhungry proof of work, that was just for the monkeys. The public ledger part of this is not the problem.
- Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes 2 months ago:
How would that work? Why would you have any reason to trust me in this chain?
- Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes 2 months ago:
then you know for sure that CNN released it.
Why not link to the original CNN source then?
I don’t think people who care about the validity of a news video will be helped much with this, and people who don’t care about the truth can easily ignore it too.
As a news organisation they should have their own due diligence about sources etc
But what if they can’t anymore? News orgs don’t only show video that they recorded. They have videos from freelance reporters, people who were at an event, government orgs, other news orgs in other countries…

It’s the paperclip maximizer in action.

Sign every video automatically? Sounds like chatcontrol all over.
Also, I could just generate a video on my computer and film it with my phone. Now it’s signed, even has phone artifacts for added realism.
- Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes 2 months ago:
The point was to sign AI footage so you know what’s fake. NFTs can be used as a decentralized repository of signatures. You could realistically require the companies to participate, but the idea doesn’t work because you can edit footage so it doesn’t match the signature. More robust signatures exist, but none is good enough, especially since the repo would have to be public.
Signing real footage makes even less sense. You’d have to trust everybody and their uncle’s signature.
- Comment on Millions turn to AI chatbots for spiritual guidance and confession 3 months ago:
So “God” is a LLM trained on all human text. Created in the image of man. And it helps you analyse bible texts, in stead of going through a pastor, not very Catholic is it?

- Comment on What If There’s No AGI? 3 months ago:
That’s like saying you shouldn’t call artificial grass artificial grass cause it isn’t grass. Nobody has a problem with that, why is it a problem for AI?
