I really don't consider getting familiar with whatever minutia of C++/Vulkan throws at you graphics programming. It just presents unnecessary barrier that may change in the future without you learning any of the core skills that a

False. AI alignment makes the LLM less effective. It's not pure virtue signaling if there's a cost. It's actual virtue.

Cars actually kill over a million of people per year. Not saying this is good, just that all technology has its tradeoffs.

Having read through a lot of the comments around this situation, seems nobody on HN cares that much about AI safety, and is much more focused on corporate profits? Am I reading this wrong?

Crime is usually more effective if you shroud it in a cloud of gaslighting.

Yes, indeed. Humans are tragically bad at underestimating the cost of pumping trillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Also coal power releases more radioactivity into the atmosphere than nuclear ever did.

It's worse than that: the US makes laws based on who pays them the most.

The willingness and ability of people to commit fraud is not a constant. It's highly variable depending on social context. The more you allow fraud also changes society to accept more fraud, which is a vicious circle.

Well. What does thinking require? Can you answer that question. So far we know that LLMs can handle sequential structure. There have also been papers written that demonstrate that they do build an internal model of the world. Artificial Int

Also the benefit of using a message queue library is that you don't have to worry about multi-platform incompatibilities as much.

Evidence can easily be cross referenced and if the link LLM gives is dead it means it's lying.

If people don't eat they die. This is an extremely simplified reduction of a highly complex multidimensional process. Yet, it is true.

While this is good, if they can prove and demonstrate that their recycling process is equal or better in environmental impact, the repairability only helps repair shops stay in business. Of course, this is a big if, and I don't think t

A simple calculation of energy immediately reveals the entire endeavor as complete nonsense: more energy is spent producing and capturing the carbon than simply modifying the process to produce less carbon. Just calculate how much carbon yo

For someone who actually needs to understand linear algebra to create novel complex programs, this is completely insufficient and possibly needlessly distracting. I suggest this one instead: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?

I think there is a lot more nuance between these two polarities. People are more important than machines, even when machines reproduce the exact steps of how people learn.

Any "alignment" is adding bias and reducing usability of a LLM. You are trying to wrestle the model towards what you find appropriate instead what is the average of the source material.

Nim is really very nice language to write software in. Ship fast, enjoy the ride, produce very performant software. Unfortunately it still in my experience has some sharp edges: juggling C/C++ compilers and options, very poor error mes

No, video games do not use dirty tricks from gambling to attract big spenders. Gacha/lootbox does. Two completely different things. Given how majority of people just read the headline, this is just bad reporting.

It's much more ergonomic gaming from the couch or moving around the house, than hunching over a PC. Persona 4, Phoenix Wright, Tangle Tower, Halls of Torment, older action adventure games. Going through a lot of my backlog as it's

Drugs give peaks, but take away from the baseline. The result is less enjoyment in total.
