this is cool, but honestly, after the red hat/fedora announcement that they'll allow slop contributions, i may just try and use my phone for everything

android 16 QPR1 gets a proper desktop mode and it should get ported to grapheneos soon enough

this is just copium, of course. thank you for sharing the link to the mnt reform. <3

just once i want to buy a computery thing and not have it end up being fasctech

i was so excited about this laptop 😭

The number one and number two most cited living scientists across all fields think scenarios like this are not only possible but likely to happen. And the average AI researcher thinks there is a 16% chance of AI causing human extinction.

assigning a number to it makes it scientific

i had a feeling about FUTO because of rossmann's involvement. became leery of him after this youtube bullshit from 2018:

Let's discuss why journalists are afraid of Elon Musk right now(and why they deserve to be)

Elon Musk wants to come up with a way to rate the credibility and accuracy of media organizations & individual journalists. This blatant misrepresentation of his words, given in the middle of this conversation, is a PERFECT example of WHY this is so badly needed in modern society.

I'm not a fan of Tesla for being, in many ways, the "Apple of cars." That being said, whether or not I like Tesla when it comes to a repair standpoint has nothing to do with the hate being thrown at Elon for something he never meant in the words he said, and is entirely separate from my agreement with him on the idea of a media credibility rating platform.

i don't think it's fair to assume that a billionaire who dresses up like a bat to extra-legally fight crime necessarily engages in shenanigans when donating a satellite to his vigilante friends

this reminds me of that episode of justice league unlimited where the superheroes are all on a satellite and batman says getting it built was just

a line item in the Wayne Industries R&D budget

though, to be fair, that explanation is more plausible than starcloud working

the poster is referring to the function f(z) = z^2 + 1

Watched a debate between Emily M. Bender and Sébastien Bubeck

an OpenAI researcher

from March. As usual, Dr. Bender fucking rules. Bubeck struck me as an idiot and kind of an ass.

It's worth noting that, unlike a real function, a complex function that is differentiable in a neighborhood is infinitely differentiable in that neighborhood. An informal intuition behind this: in the reals, for a limit to exist, the left and right limit must agree. In C, the limit from every direction must agree. Thus, a limit existing in C is "stronger" than it existing in R.

Edit: wikipedia pages on holomorphism and analyticity (did I spell this right) are good

I use Mullvad Leta, which is basically a front-end for the Google (and Brave) API. It used to be exclusive to Mullvad customers but I believe it's available to everyone now.

It doesn't support image search, but so far this has been consistently good enough for me.
