I feel the same way about education, but as someone who received an education, I'm biased. I like knowing things and understanding things. Studies on education and well-being don't really validate us though. They…
The hell? Where did you get that from?
If AI takes off, there will be nothing to adapt to. Anything a smart (and motivated) person can do, a smart (and motivated) AI will be able to do faster and cheaper. We might end up permanently retired and just spend…
Neither of those are gatekeeping.
That's why I said, > Words get their meaning from how they're used in the wild, and dictionaries are descriptivist, not prescriptivist. But I didn't explain that clearly. What I mean is that definitions are always…
1. This goes against the prevailing view of neuroscientists. Quantum indeterminacy is generally thought to be irrelevant to brain function. 2. Quantum randomness is the very opposite of control over your behavior.…
It's not gatekeeping unless you're using your own esoteric definition that's different from how everyone else uses it. Words get their meaning from how they're used in the wild, and dictionaries are descriptivist, not…
According to the article you linked, there is no evidence at all showing OpenAI plagiarized Buckmaster and Alpoge. Buckmaster just speculated that since they used OpenAI's product, it's possible OpenAI looked at their…
But the AI companies didn't gatekeep knowledge. They released all their math results. Unless you mean they're charging money for a product that contains knowledge. But that's not gatekeeping, just like selling a book…
> But it's the job of an elected official to make that determination only after they have considered their options in a proportional-to-population way. I don't know what this means, and there's no way to operationalize…
We absolutely want politicians to listen to lobbyists in a way that is proportional to some parameter besides the number of people they represent. The should listen to who is right, not which lobby represents the most…
...they did.
You're misremembering. The first known use of AGI was in 1997, but that was a single, mostly unknown use in one paper. It wasn't until at least a decade later that the term started entering mainstream use after being…
It wouldn't cost $10 for their lifetime use if they used cheap models instead. Mistral Small 3 24B is probably substantially better than their Qwen 3 0.6B trained model and would give you about 500,000–2,000,000 English…
Given that they're just using it to avoid the googling for bash command syntax, I'm not sure they'll save in the end against the 140k training examples they generated.
No it's not. 1-2 seconds is what we find in practice for real drivers responding to unexpected hazards. Your close following distance example doesn't show anything. A normal braking event on the highway doesn't require…
This is well studied by researchers, and 1-2s is the typical reaction time for real drivers with real muscle memory when reacting to an unexpected hazard on the road. There are a lot of reasons people could sometimes…
The typical perception-to-reaction latency of an alert driver to a hazard is about 1-2 seconds. 250 ms when you're waiting for an event and know how to respond. For example, like a batter in baseball waiting to swing.
Are you asking for the latency or throughput? In humans, it's about 200–250 ms for a visual cue where you already know how to respond and you're ready, but you don't know exactly when it'll happen. It can be a fair bit…
With GPT-6 Luna (which is what the parent comment was talking about), that would come to 3.2¢, assuming GPT-6 used the same number of tokens. I don't think you can guess more precisely than an order of magnitude from…
This isn't right. You're comparing cost per token, but DeepSeek V4 Flash uses more tokens. Artificial Analysis found GPT 6 Luna to be significantly cheaper than DeepSeek:…
They did not hardcode that, because: a) There's zero evidence of them doing so b) Some models released before the car wash problem was discovered would consistently get it right c) Hardcoding it is pointless. No one is…
JimDabell said they didn't come up with that thought themselves. They never implied the poster didn't mean it. sm-silversight responded, "How do you know it's not his/her thought?" You can reasonably interpret them as…
In this comment section alone, 5 people have used some variant of that aphorism, and it's used constantly on hn and other sites. They've heard it.
