It’s a fair point about the valley’s tremendous wealth and problems, but what would Om say? It’s a little off the topic of remembering his life and work?

Randomized trial. Half of them pledge to use AI freely and liberally, half of them to never use it, compare via surveys and off-AI tests after X months. Could even flip it so then the non-users used it for X months and vice versa, see if lo

You don’t understand because you’re not an expert? First off they have numerous non-humanoid robots if you follow them at all. Second, Clearly they’ve got strong reasoning, they’ve just been bought. Third, out of thousands of attempts at hu

There’s zero value? Surely you don’t believe zero, it’s potentially the most powerful predictive AI in the world ever made? Maybe only incremental steps sure. But also their IPO is coming, you don’t want people evaluating them beforehand?

How would you know the agent is correct in domain expertise if you’re not possessing domain expertise yourself?

Sounds pretty unsubtle to me. It’s possible they’re insecure as adults as well? Or they want to save time or brain power for other work and don’t see the inherent rudeness in it?

Why would a recruiter expect you to give that?

Exactly. Not 4 years ago I was rejected from a job for not having enough NLP experience. Can you imagine that today? Someone being hired to do NLP in the market of LLMs?

Why bring God into the discussion? Do you think he’s monitoring our lives actively? Why is he a he? Does God have male genitalia?

Maybe they see it eradicating their job prospects and being used to cheat and invalidate their hard studying by others who want an insane productivity boost? That’s not fair to them if others are cheating and they’re learning properly.

They’re still fun? Why not? It’s more magical than ever now, even if it’s changed a lot from the “glory days” which is nostalgic thinking mostly.

Some ad junct professors may be making 5-10k per course. It’s basically lower than minimum wage. We can’t expect them to police students enthusiastically when they’re paid so lowly.

That was a low effort comment, I agree with you and I downvoted theirs. HN rules specify comments should drive the conversation forward. They used n=1 anecdata and called your employers bad places, oversimplifying the complexities into a si

Heavy confounding there. If they’re declined enough to not drive, they’re declined in a ton of other ADLs too

He was a hand grenade of identity and economic grievance thrown into the glassware shop of the federal government. He slashed, burned, grifted, and shot a missile into an elementary school. The worst president in history?

That’s still important. GenX is smaller than the boomers or millennials. If millennials and young men continue supporting maga and Trump’s party as they did last election, it won’t help much if Boomers expire. Boomers also surprisingly vote

What about single celled or microscopic multi-cellular life forms? They could sense positive and negative aspects to their surroundings and move toward/away from said aspects. I don’t think most would include them as conscious despite

Did you read the article? He struggled for many years before achieving fame, and his main source of purpose was having young children. The HN headline doesn’t give the context that he feels outside of Mr Show and raising children, and after

The irony of a meditation mindfulness app becoming a zombie and annoying and distracting thousands of people is palpable. I don’t use the app but it sounds completely off brand!

Extraordinary claims require evidence, not snarky Google mentions. Spending amounts are for what specifically? Do those 2.6 billion account for second and third hand smoke? For smoking in pregnancy leading to problems?

He’s a sociopath. Why ignore that obvious fact? He buys a Hawaiian island and builds a secret bunker there for when the wasted mouths are eradicated. These robber billionaires aren’t normal people.

They did, he stole the ideas or bought them. What did he actually do himself?

Yeah maybe my standard is high but PG is just another essayist. I’d rather reach for real literature or historical non-fiction before PG. I will grant for the tech industry it’s some of the more insightful stuff I’ve seen but I don’t need m

It seems based heavily on recency? Not a lot questions per day it seems. Does anyone have the algorithm for ranking?

“You” being the operative word in You solved it. Typing a question into AI and having it solve it is not “you” solving it by any stretch.

Not in the same ballpark. Chernobyl nearly poisoned the entire continent’s water supply. Nuclear waste is far far worse than excess water.

Deliberate practice. Whatever you do, take it slow and careful. Learn it the right way once slowly. If you learn it too quickly and too surface level, you’ll practice-in mistakes and create 10X “tech debt” to solve later.

The USA didn’t turn Iran into a terrorist Jihadist state attempting to get nukes. Not everything is the USA’s doing, give extremely violent Islam its fault as well.

You’re collaborating in multiple ways more than you anticipated. What would you do if they brought in another dev to work on it independently? If you see failure in the projects future due to this, make sure you establish your limits and bo
