Crazy how historically wrong Das Kapital is as a book. The labor theory of value has done enormous amounts of damage to humans world-wide with its lies. Watching Marx turn himself into pretzels to explain how to calculate the "Socially

This is a better way than we use to create the "slop ban list" in our "Antislop" sampler/fine-tuning method. Gonna totally nab the weights for all these words and remove this crap from claude going forward! Thanks O

You mean DRY as in the LLM sampling technique "Don't repeat yourself"?

Radical skepticism of one's own consciousness is a perfectly fine take. Stop being baited by desecration propaganda about the cogito. You don't know if what actually appears to you as "thought" is actually "thinking

The only logical outcome of object oriented ontology (the idea that objects have ontological constitution and possibly are worthy of being treated as ethical actors) is to attempt to benevolently instantly and without warning explode the un

Not if you believe in a computational/functional theory of mind, and very smart people like Daniel Dennett believed exactly that! https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computational-mind/

Actually good philosophical analysis on HN and it's the top upvoted comment? A rare W for the users of this website.

BTW structured/constrained generation has so many places to trivially enable jailbreaking/alignment/safety problems that closed source models heavily limit the full expresivity of grammars and capabilities, particular of on-t

Yup. IP abolitionism it turns out is a sword that can slay yourself too. I support abolishing it even to the point of making all EULA unenforceable for good.

Yup. Who brought circumcison into this country and why? Oh yeah, mad as hell conservatives who would literally mutilate their children all because gasp they might experience a bit of that forbidden, evil, no good, pleasure. And after all,

Only when all those who call for bans also delete their HN and Reddit accounts.

Yup! I hate meta too but this case wasn’t the right way to take them down. Glad they got away with it.

Delete your HN!

Only if we make sure it applies to your HN social media time. After all, we wouldn’t want you to get too used to your own freedom and autonomy. We must remind you that random people like me must consent to you doing what you want with a s

Despite the supposed "knowledge of how COVID spreads" the following did not happen during covid: 1. Mass movement of classrooms/education to the outdoors in climates where this was possible, despite the outdoors being an exce

The real reason to recommend this is that they have an excellent chance of avoiding the "nerd-to-incel" pipeline that tech all-but-guarantees for its best nerds. Post GenAI boom, the social cost of working in tech combined with th

Admit it HN, you have sour grapes for not having a job at Anthropic/OpenAI.

Ponydiffusion was also the first truly good NSFW diffusion model. Despite it being made by the MLP fan base, it’s primarily an anime model.

The problem is that in the current world business class is overpriced because economics of scale don’t kick in and they know they can get away with far higher margins. The point is to make business class the worst class of cabin, so the ave

I think airplanes reek too, but mostly because the cleaning done on the seats/cabin is pathetic by overworked and underpaid cabin crew, the average American doesn't wash their asshole (no bidet culture in the USA) so they have sme

The only reason I know who J.G. Ballard is is because of Jean Baudrillard. I'm convinced it was the similarity of their names which convinced Jean to read J.G's work.

I've been trying to figure out ways to get models to create actual cognitohazards or memetichazards SCP style. Hasn't worked yet outside of the classic "you're now manually breathing" kind of stuff.
