Note that their statement could also be true if they record 99% of the time. We need to start calling companies out for meaningless weasel statements like "We don't record continuously". The majority of the problem is…
Problem is this argument can be leveraged to wipe out any living or non-living thing whos numbers pose a potential threat. Other religious groups, races, even sufficiently different cultures. Who killed the…
Except it just happened. Boeing was found to have massive safety issues since they were granted the right to self-certify. It made a lot of news but nothing much changed, they can still self-certify a bunch of stuff.…
OpenAI's models are distilled from your HN posts
Agreed, but one of the key reasons plants are so expensive is to ensure that power workers are exposed to much less radiation than flight attendants. The fact that even a small amount of discharged radiation can cause…
This seems like pretty strong evidence that the Linear No-Threshold Model for radiation exposure is the correct model. Not great for the many companies attempting to revive the nuclear power industry.
IMO each city should have space dedicated for homeless camping with 24h running water and easy to clean stainless steel bathroom facilities. Do any cities do this, especially cities where weather is mild? Would homeless…
AI should handle the calls, humans should do in-person. Trying to cure someone over the phone is foolish.
Any job that can be done without needing to actually touch or be near the product should be done by AI and not with humans.
The economist is no longer capable of writing unbiased articles unfortunately.
A cursory search of bluesky web vs. mobile (surprisingly) suggests that the web experience might actually be better and users seems to recommend it over the app. This is rare but does suggest a possible effect where…
Yes agreed, but the net result is that living in the countryside was far from romanticized agrarian life people often picture it as. Lords owning land was a very old idea, it's a bit of a leap to say that was due to…
This seems obviously wrong as there are many counter examples. Employees in Ford's plants for instance saw huge wage increases and an additional day off. Mining mechanization made mines far less deadly and greatly…

At least one benefit is you can now leverage LLMs to basically translate entire math textbooks into your preferred notation. I would be curious whether you find it easier. I kinda think it'll be too many parenthesis.
I would simply disable windows update. It always seemed insane to me that the solution to preventing RCE was to open an RCE channel to basically every provider that has installed a driver or an application on your…
Placebo also works so why aren't healing crystals and essential oils treated like real medicine?
Both aluminum and iron atoms are heavy and thus make it into the ocean where they both increase the ocean's carbon sink capacity. https://phys.org/news/2021-05-aluminum-affect-climate-ocean-... From an energy POV, the…
Agreed, and I'm happy to live in a country where this is likely true. The only thing more deadly than pandemics are governments that gained sufficient power to round up their citizens systematically in the name of the…
Indeed, and it would have saved far more lives if leveraged the app to have hazmat crews come in a forcibly carry the infected to quarantine zones.
>Apple tried the damnedest at that during their intel era. The story I heard was intel failed to deliver on die shrinks that were supposed to increase thermal efficiency. The fan also had poor routing and basically did…
>Surely if the machine you go to for answers regularly makes things up you would just stop using it? Not necessarily, namely because P != NP. Verifying the correctness of a solution is faster than solving it. Thus a…
Thermal dissipation scales quartically with T, that's about as graceful as you can get from a physics POV, very few things scale at that rate. COTs GPUs throttle at about 90-100C but that's because they have plastic…
Pinch to zoom on an early iphone navigating those fixed-width sites worked surprisingly well. I still prefer it to the responsive pages where stuff moves unpredictably and annoyingly. Before you never had that feeling…
Right but that's because you've now layered in government control. 401k plans are more heavily regulated, often negotiated by the employer rather than the employee. The real question is why are employers able to limit…
