Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

  • George Orwell

  • Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it looks flimsier in the pictures than it actually is in person.

    I take pride in my work - if I didn't think it was solid enough, I'd have done it differently. The customer didn't ask for something that could withstand a battering ram.

  • LG was among the last brands that actually dared to experiment with new stuff. It wasn't always a hit, but they brought a ton of cool ideas to the table.

    I still have the successor to the V10 - the V20 - lying around somewhere, though I've "upgraded" to a Samsung XCover 6 Pro since then. The LG got slow as hell and had been rebuilt multiple times anyway.

  • I'd personally hand that crown to the LG V10. It's absolutely beautiful to look at, and with the rubberized back cover and stainless steel side rails, it felt amazing in your hand.

    It also had a completely flat screen that was slightly recessed below the "chin and forehead" of the display - so if you slap on a screen protector without a cutout for the front cameras, you literally can't even tell it's there.

    And don't even get me started on the features.

  • Racism might be a contributing factor but I don't think that's the sole/main reason it's illegal. Weed is illegal in almost every single country in the world. I bet that big cotton has more to do with it.

  • They're leaving like redditors to Lemmy. There's dozens of them!

  • The "thin pine boards" are laminated veneer lumber which does not twist. It's not the first door/partition I've installed and I've yet to receive a single callback. It's going to be perfectly fine. Absolutely no need to over-engineer something like this. I appreciate the feedback but I strongly disagree.

  • It's a non load bearing interior wall.

  • The door, frame, and handle are usually sold separately. You can grab them at any regular hardware store.

    Leave a 10 mm gap all around between the rough opening and the door frame, then adjust it plumb and level using a drill and a long bubble level - or ideally a laser if you've got one.

    Anyone can do it if they just know how, and YouTube is full of solid tutorials.

  • Too much is always enough

  • I'm not sure what you mean. The "arch" is attatched to brick with 14 long screws.

  • Did myself dirty by accidentally buying too narrow a door frame - which is why it didn't sit flush with the wall on this side, making the trim install a bit tricky. Luckily I've dealt with the same issue before, so it came out alright.

  • Nobody knows what it actually takes to reach AGI, so nobody knows whether a certain system has enough compute and context size to get there.

    For all we know, it could turn out way simpler than anyone thought - or the exact opposite.

    My point still stands: you (or Cameron) couldn't possibly know with absolute certainty.

    I'd have zero issue with the claim if you'd included even a shred of humility and acknowledged you might be wrong. You made an absolute statement instead. That I disagree with.

  • I haven't been excited about a new smartphone since LG V20. What ever is "new" in our current flagships doesn't really interest me that much.

  • It's a bit vague article anyway. It doesn't really specify what they banned exactly. I doubt that they'll just go with tire width alone. I know what kind of bikes they're talking about and those are nothing like my eBike despite having fat tires too. The pedals on mine aren't for show.

  • ChatGPT is the sole reason I was able to switch from Windows to Linux. It walked me through the installation process and has helped me troubleshoot every issue I've had.

  • It's perfectly valid to discuss the dangers of AGI whether LLMs are the path there or not. I've been concerned about AGI and ASI for far longer than I've even known about LLMs, and people were worried about exactly the same stuff back then as they are now.

    This is precisely the kind of threat you should try to find a solution for before we actually reach AGI - because once we do, it's way, way too late.

    Also:

    There is factually 0 chance we'll reach AGI with the current brand of technology.

    You couldn't possibly know that with absolute certainty.

  • The headline talks about "sending jets into Canadian airspace" as if US jets don't already routinely fly there.

  • If anyone who wasn’t the head of an LLM company spouted this drivel, they’d be locked away in a padded room and Axios would rightly be called out for exacerbating the mental health crisis of a paranoid schizophrenic.

    Like Eliezer Yudkowsky, Roman Yampolskiy, Stuart Russell, Nick Bostrom, Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Max Tegmark and Toby Ord?

  • This comes across more as a warning than a sales pitch.

    If only I could convince myself to be as dismissive about the threats of AGI as the average user here seems to be...
