That's a cynical take, so it will probably get upvoted, but what are you basing it on? Ebay is a pretty eclectic marketplace and I can think of a number of possible reasons that have little to do with ads. For example,…
We've been talking about a "crisis of reproducibility" for years and the incentive to crank out high volumes of low-quality research. We now have a tool that brings down the cost of producing plausibly-looking research…
I'm going to lose my mind. This commentary is almost certainly LLM generated.
> I guess I’m making the mistake of assuming others have taken a similar intellectual path as I have. Oh, come on. I know a lot of people who are highly educated and intelligent but fall for the same outrage bait as…
> AI, politics, and discussing how HN isn't what it used to be. That's all that's here now. HN isn't what it used to be. Are you spending your time patrolling /newest and upvoting good submissions, then? There are…
All my social media feeds are filled with political rage bait. Yes, tech is political, and yes, techies implicitly take sides; but I really don't need another source for all the political headlines of the day.
My point is that on average, filing bad but plausibly-sounding reports makes the reporter money. Curl is the odd exception with naming-and-shaming, not the rule. Spamming H1 with AI-generated reports is lucrative. A…
> An entry fee that is reimbursed if the bug turns out to matter would stop this, real quick. The problem is that bug bounty slop works. A lot of companies with second-tier bug bounties outsource triage to contractors…
My point is that it isn't, not really. Usage begets more training, and this will likely continue for many years. So it's not a vanishing fixed cost, but pretty much just an ongoing expenditure associated with LLMs.
Big Tech can afford to be selective, so if you don't have a degree, the basic answer is that you need to stand out in some other way. This can be several years of interesting industry experience or other…
I'm not sure I like this method of accounting for it. The critics of LLMs tend to conflate the costs of training LLMs with the cost of generation. But this makes the opposite error: it pretends that training isn't…
I don't think people care all that much about phones. It's just that phones are power-constrained, so manufacturers wanted to move to OLEDs to save on backlight; and because the displays are small, the tech was easier…
As far as I know, Google never had a requirement to have a degree for any software engineering job. What they did pretty aggressively, though, is sourcing candidates from universities with top-notch engineering programs…
> The international value of the dollar as a reserve and trade currency is inherently tied to the behavior of the US Government and the Federal Reserve. I think this oversimplifies things. The dominance of the dollar…
> My 30k ft view is that the stock will inevitably slide as AI datacenter spending goes down. Their stock trajectory started with one boom (cryptocurrencies) and then seamlessly progressed to another (AI). You're…
> The core issue isn't that LLMs are bad at circuits, it's that we're asking them to do novel design when they should be doing selection and integration. I don't want to detract from what you're building, but I'm…
Both Gemini and ChatGPT have a pretty comically wrong knowledge of op-amps. They usually recommend outdated chips and are confused about circuit topologies. I was looking at this last week and it hasn't changed. I asked…
> I think there's a big difference between general ai (LLMs) and the troubling implementations of ai like flock ... spotify and their distortion of music ... I'm curious about the distinction you're making here. If we…
> The number of knitting kits sold (an example from the article) Also, "knitting kits" were not a thing for most of my life. You'd just buy yarn needles and yarn. This is not some kind of a craft where you need dozens…
>> AI designed for use by children and teens should be less sycophantic and more "antagonistic" > Genius. I love this idea. I don't think it would really work with current tech. The sycophancy allows LLMs to not be…
Probably also the wrong country. I can imagine something like C5 taking off in the SF Bay Area. In the UK, you have something like 160 rainy days a year. People bike over there, but this somehow feels worse.
I doubt that. I suspect there are virtually no customers who step into a dealership unsure if they want to buy EV or ICE.
I think there's basically one 4x4 van on the market in the US right now. So you're making a pretty bad generalization here. In the Bay Area, it's probably true that a van would work well, although I lived in a…
I mean, if you bought a Cybertruck, you've already given up on a ton of bed space. I'm not saying that a built-in power source isn't nice, but I doubt it swayed any minds.
Both companies are pretty small and presumably exist because their owners are passionate about hobby electronics. Honestly, I'd rather have companies like that ran by (flawed) humans than by PR robots. If they want to…
