It isn’t about training anymore. It is about harnesses. Just look at new math proofs that will come out, as one example. Exploration vs Exploitation is a thing in AI but you seem to think that human creativity can’t be surpassed by harnesse

Isn’t that exactly how humans (and even animals) operate? Human societies look for actual major correlations and establish classifications. Except with scientific-minded humans, we often also want, to know the why behind the correlations. D

Let me clear it up The Trump administration acts cartoonish and fickle. They can easily punish one group, and then agree to work with another group on the same terms, to save face, while continuing to punish the first group. It doesn't

I sent steve jobs (sjobs@apple.com) an email saying that MacOS should have an unspoofable dialog for the system password authorization, same way they have for DRM videos etc. I also suggested the user could choose a secret phrase or image t

At the very least, that would be fair. I feel like legal frameworks sometimes lose track of fairness

Can't you make a personal AI assistant in a bash loop of two lines? 1. Call your favorite multimodal LLM model 2. Execute command on terminal, piping command to LLM In fact you can just have one line: Call LLM > bash.sh

This reminds me of "Radio Free Europe" and "Radio Liberty", which were basically bankrolled (and likely largely influenced) by the CIA. They wanted to distribute all kinds of programming into USSR that was banned there,

Honestly, it seems worse than web3. Yes, companies throw up their hands and say "well, yeah the original inventors are probably right, our safety teams quit en masse or we fired them, the world's probably gonna go to shit, but hey

When it comes to AI, I would say Use Workflows and Policies, not Agents. Agents is what they called programs in the Matrix. They were not helpful. Trusting AI Agents is dumb. And Agents can go rogue.

But so what, browsers are installed too and can load arbitrary websites. Which can implement all that stuff too. And threaded forums like Discourse are far better.

Wait What exactly does Slack do that other chats don’t? If you had to boil it down to 10 main features what is the point of this? Realtime chat seems to me to be distracting, and I much prefer threaded forums and issue trackers. But I’m wil

Start with nothing The next time you begin your workday, try this: clear your work surface completely. Close all browser tabs. Create a fresh page in your notebook. Open only the one file you need. Has this person not heard of Chrome Prof

Show me such a model. It would be interesting to see a model completely indistinguishable from a real human in behavior, as well as real-time reflection off different surfaces, etc. The next step would be to make a complete digital clone of

Actually, there are many ways. For example they change colors on your screen and check in real time how it reflects on your face, eyes, etc. Very hard for a model to be trained to respond this quickly to what's on the screen. They also

No, what we wanted for decades is for cars to shift to the free market of electric energy, just like every one of our other appliances have for decades. Electricity is a free market - can be generated by hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, even

All these places use the word UNCONDITIONAL instead of UNIVERSAL because they are scared of printing money and paying all their citizens, while jacking up pigovian taxes on the other side. Here is how to do it properly without waiting for t

Hard disagree. You read nothing, you assumed everything, and wrote cookie-cutter slop that adds nothing of substance. There is no shit coin and no rug pull. You can’t own any coin. But this perfectly illustrates why HN, full of smart people

I've been building a decentralized, open source platform at https://github.com/Qbix/Platform before it was cool. I don't think it's cool even now. I mostly got hate on HN every time I posted about it LOL

That’s not true, solar energy still reaches the lagrange point, these tiny machines don’t need that much of it solar energy reaches the Earth-Sun Lagrange point 2 (\(L_{2}\)), even though it is located behind the Earth, because it sits sli

That’s exactly what Vladimir Feltsman said about me when I was like 8 LOL. He is on video here saying it… “I want him to start playing concerts 3-4 years later but be in business 40 years longer!” https://youtu.be/lf2DWzQ-5z

No. Emphatically NOT. Apple has done a great job safeguarding people's devices and privacy from this crap. And no, AI slop and local automation is scarcely better than giving up your passwords to see pictures of cats, which is an old m

Once people have a UBI you can eliminate the minimum wage laws. People can take unpaid internships, hobbies etc.

The ideal would be to park the data centers at the lagrange point behind the Earth in its umbra, so they don't need to dissipate direct solar heat.

That doesn't really solve things across countries, does it? It just says that low-income people can eat. Doesn't help you to buy a Macbook, say, if you'll need to save up for 5 years. It holds lots of intelligent people back.
