Interference with an election is so in line with the current president's character that nobody has any reason to think otherwise. The political atmosphere in the USA, and worldwide let's be honest, has become so cynical…
That's a real issue in my opinion. A lot of people get involved in open source because of the sense of community or because they like the idea of giving something to the world. What's the point in contributing to…
I once read the criticism that science is already moving too fast and that wrong results get published and accepted as true because nobody reaps any laurels for verifying or reproducing results, even if that's an…
In my experience, most people are overworked, stressed and exhausted. I don't find it surprising at all that social activities have been declining. It sounds like normal mammal behavior in fact.
>this seems to implicitly assume that future generations of AI cannot be creative in similar ways that human mathematicians have been It's because they can't. It's a mathematical theorem that no algorithm that "solves…
>But a lot of it is also just culture / parenting. Every parent wants their kid to become a software engineer, a lawyer, or a doctor. There's basically zero pride in being a machinist. I disagree. A lot of people, nerds…
Welcome to the age of monopolistic capitalism, they know you have nowhere to run and all the competitors charge the same price. For each service you feel that's enshittified, ask yourself how many real competitors they…
I honestly didn't read the whole article, but I think that this kind of experiment leads to a misleading way of seeing things. I met a few architects/team leaders who wouldn't write almost any code and just technically…
It's hard to explain my relationship with Emacs, but starting it is the first thing I do when I turn on my computer. I don't use it much for development these days, but I always have a bunch of buffers open and I do a…
How could this be anti-ethical? You're just running a very complex algorithm in your machine.
Would we be able to have a "digital human" when we reach the level of creating this kind of brain mapping for the human brain? Honestly I think we're still discovering how powerful neural networks are and certainly they…
>rust programs are a lot of times faster [...] than C and C++ counterparts Troll post? Or has fanboyism really gone this far?
I agree with you, it doesn't take long to identify the itemized style that LLMs use and it's always incredibly annoying. I would rather read the original thoughts of the engineer, grammar mistakes and stylistic…
I don't know about the cost-of-living reality in the flyover states, but are you sure you're taking into account the 5x multiplier that kids represent for that specific example? I think that just in terms of food…
This article itself is AI slop, of course this is not surprising coming from a website called "ai-updates.net" which I get the impression that might be entirely vibe coded too. I feel that maybe in the future HN will…
The worst of all is that people will still argue that, in this day and age, labour has not been completely devalued and that you are wealthier than your grandfather. That kind of story was not uncommon at all in the…
I have come across a lot of AI-generated youtube videos lately, most of them about trivialities and clearly aimed at a not very critical audience. A few of them also contained hallucinations. I think a lot of people…
It certainly doesn't feel like craftsmanship has gained any kind of higher social standing in our time though. The Zeitgeist of the modern times seems to be one of 'try to do the cheapest sellable thing while paying…
Regular people are somehow preparing themselves for this outcome, have you seen what has become of the fertility rate in most advanced countries?
I'd be interested to know if the same amount of leniency shown here would be applied if we were talking about ads depicting violence against elected politicians.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, right? It seems to be the modus operandi of corporations in general: they commit any kind of infringement they want and then later they go for a settlement with a…
I'm not sure the customs official knows where you came from (unless they explicitly ask, of course), because in my experience normally you get off the airplane and join a common queue. I think your passport counts a lot…
The pessimism in the comments here is entirely the reflection of the times we're living in. Technology got weaponized against the average citizen. It has become a synonym for unemployment, enshittification, mass…
It was the same thing with blockchain, who here remembers the peak delusion of IoT + smart contracts replacing human judicial systems and crypto making central banks useless? LLMs are of course a form of progress, the…
I understand what you mean but speakers and recording equipment destroyed the economics of paying people to play music a long time ago. It's another way of looking at the problem. Smartphone cameras and easy-to-use…
