Uh I was literally on math team
Some people are in business to get paid by creating actual real value all the way down the chain to the ultimate customer. Those people are the ones you'd rather work for, and those are the ones who will care about…
True. So you're talking about allocating resources (teams) across priorities. Which have to be prioritized. Which is the reality the article doesn't wrestle with at all.
There's more to making an argument than stating your conclusion forcefully and repeatedly. EDIT. In particular the author hasn't acknowledged the prioritization problem, hasn't explained what factors might go into the…
Customers speak with their wallets, and OP doesn't like what they're saying.
Decisions are about tradeoffs. 2% of users staring at a broken screen is bad, of course. But what is the _cost_ of not using nested CSS? The responsible way to make a decision is to consider both sides of the tradeoff.
Those who pay no attention to history are surprised when things change. It's the temporal equivalent of never leaving your home town. Very provincial. Then one day change comes and they're all shocked pikachu face.
I feel the opposite. Interacting with humans, I definitely pay a social tax - I have to negotiate the feelings of the people involved. With LLMs there is no social tax, I can be as blunt as I like. But there are other…
If you allow a likely guess with no evidence to play the role of fact, you're just as bad as the AIs
it's "trivial" in the sense of "I can launch the app in 2 minutes," but "non-trivial" in the sense of "I have a working, synced password manager across my devices with good security practices."
> Interestingly, there were no consequences for the execs that made this 'mistake' The article makes no such claim. What is your source? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Or, are you just making things up…
This is good, however that first sentence needs to be removed, it's too factual and orients the reader too much.
This is very jumbled argumentation. Is his claim "nobody has proven LLMs are conscious" or "I can prove that LLMs aren't conscious" ? He goes back and forth. Proving a negative about consciousness would require a…
There are no countries that come close to actually paying for it. There are countries that pay for 5% of it, and in those, indeed they don't have significantly higher fertility rates.
Yes. Societies have been using their women's children as a positive externality for generations, but now the logic of capitalism and societal freedom has caught up, and now societies would rather collapse than support…
I don't understand, why post to HN a link to a Khan academy class that's at least 13 years old?
That's why I write my own assembly language. Compilers just atrophy your skills!
don't hate the player, hate the game

the location of the ship of course is not secret. but there is finer grained data about the people, the devices and what they're doing that could be gathered. and inferences made from that data. i would only allow this…
it's mind boggling. personal mobile phones have potentially anyone's software running on them and that can connect to the internet means that literally anyone could be tracking and gathering who knows what data from…
"just" is doing a lot of work there. There's a stack, and everyone is fighting and racing to figure out which parts of the stack are commodities and which have protectable IP. For example, years ago someone might have…
It's because of this hard problem that I'm thinking I should keep using Viktor (getviktor.com) instead of running this OpenViktor. The company may not do a perfect job of security either, but I figure they'll do a…
it's not viktor.ai it's getviktor.com
Strongly agreed. However, some developers have trouble writing clearly and reading lots of text, and therefore prefer oral and interactive + real-time transmission of the information. Those developers, I suppose and…
