You seriously overestimate the average user. There is a reason why 123456 is still a common password. I would not expect a grandma to know how to put a key on her phone and use it reliably. And my main argument is that…
The cost of healthcare is unlikely due to data management cost. That is almost an absurd comment. The cost to develop a drug is in the billions. Manufacturing costs are in the tens to hundreds of millions. Locking down…
Maybe we can start with heavy penalties for whoever responsible for these breaches? The users are irresponsible, but at the higher levels, the company can afford to tighten access and guard their data better. Would…
Those on HN are considered extremely tech-savvy and security aware and yet we are still concerned about our accounts getting compromised like this. What can a random user like our moms or siblings do? They won't even…
To be honest, if the power and internet go out, not much would be left, including meat-based technologies such as elbow grease. Can't power the amount of bloodsacks we have with enough biofuels once the electricity goes…
I think sometimes it is good to zoom out a little bit and look at things on a higher level. The LLMs are not an organic creature. It doesn't in any shape or way relate to a human being except the knowledge it was…
Ok here it is. An LLM with physical senses. They mentioned sense of touch and I think that is a big deal. You can teach me all you want about a new color with all the text description available and it would be worse…
It is their pride, their nation's representative to the global audience. When people speak of Nintendo, they implicitly acknowledge Japan as a global player in the entertainment industry. It is a source of patriotism…
The key is they should also entertain and validate your self-worth. A relationship should be of give and take. You are expected to put effort into maintaining it but the same thing is asked of your partner. Sometimes,…
Wonder how likely is it that this is because of AI taking over the jobs. Sifting through resumes, contacting candidates, schedule some interviews, connect the hiring manager to the candidate, even getting some extra…
Um, the Mate60 is ok and all but compared to Apple tech, it is years behind. Apple is undisputedly the best phone on the market right now and the Mate60 isn't anywhere close to a contender. I don't understand why all…
You know, the more I read about these things, the more I realize we are literally getting close to "spells" technology. This is literally an entire paper about constructing a specific incantation to create an effect.…
This is unfortunately very common. "Icky" topics in science are not likely to get funding or published in a good journal. There is a line one must toe and to step out of it, you need to be someone big first, and often…
Found it, it is a pretty recent paper. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.13449.pdf
I remember there is a study about the alignment cost. Basically the more restrictions and limit you put on a model, the worse its general performance becomes. Things like a ban on violence, race, or any other sensitive…
Am I out of touch? No, it must have been the others who are wrong.
Nice selective quoting. I said in Houston repeatedly and you still try to skip it in the exact same sentence you quoted. If you have to take things out of context to make a point then don't make it. I said the state…
What was the cause of death? Before you start ad hominem attacks, best to get your facts straight. Or maybe you are more concerned with outrage and tribalism than knowing what actually happened. Food and water and…
Perhaps you can check the big warning sign on the page about the poverty number: > Estimates are not comparable to other geographic levels due to methodology differences that may exist between different data sources.…
Is it really affordable to Californians though? Or it is affordable only to the upper class there? Not everyone is making 200-300k a year. If you look at the median household income pre-tax, CA is 84k while TX is 67k.…
I have lived in Houston and the bay area. Comparing the two, I prefer Houston. Like I said, pay is only ridiculous if you are in software. For the vast majority of other profession, what is ridiculous are the prices and…
In Houston, owning a car is pretty simple. I pay a registration and insurance online and I am done. Car has problems? There are a hundred car shops around that fix it in a day or two for a fraction of the cost a dealer…
Before SF, I was in Houston. I would say it is a lot better over there, except for the weather. Housing and utilities are not ridiculous. A good 2000sqft house is 400k. PG&E is less than half CA price. The news shows…
I know most people here might not like this, but honest question, besides the fact that there are lots of jobs around the Bay Area and LA, why would anyone want to settle down in California? The place is almost hostile…
There are already laws for that. Like I said, deepfakes and photoshop have been around for a while. The same concerns were raised back then and now it is just another type of porn. Turn out those petty enough to use…
