I strongly disagree. This is just the Politician's Fallacy. I keep harping on about the "virtual staging" that real estate agents have been doing for a decade that is equally deceptive and annoying and already gets labeled, a

I agree, we're going to get a little warning label, just like the "virtually staged" labels that are already there and nothing of consequence will actually change. That is why I say this is a nothing burger.

I am so certain of this because I was not born yesterday and this is not my first time paying attention to (NYC) politics. Politician makes a grand statement they do not have the authority to meaningfully act on to get headlines, DCWP issue

I am honestly so surprised that everyone on HN is so naive that they take political statements like this at face value. Politicians routinely say they will do things they do not have the authority to do, and it's often very important t

Right, which is why all we're going to get it a label saying that AI was used (or maybe landlords will try to fly through on the label of "virtually staged" that they've been using). Existing law doesn't have the au

The Mayor is not a dictator and can't just make up laws or regulations. He can probably get DCWP to engage in the normal rule making process, but at most this is probably going to get some AI disclosure somewhere, which is what we had

It's super annoying, but this is a total nothing burger because he doesn't actually have any power to do anything here. This has also been a problem long before AI with "virtually staged" apartments.

I think that's a reasonable concern, but I feel like there's no meat to this accusation in in the article. They found a way to sidestep regulations in a non-traditional way, they're using AI for underwriting, but like I said,

Thanks for the article, I assume you are the author. I think the main question about Corgi is: are they underpricing risk so severely that they go bust? And honestly, we have no idea. For all we know startups are buying overpriced insurance

He is saying the most inane things ever, I don't know why I need to be charitable here.

Yeah, but the guy writing the article seems to be bad at math and thinking. Can I imagine a venue kicking out 2% of their former clients on some criteria? Absolutely yes. Kicking out 2% of website visitors may still be totally reasonable if

USPS is also not paying for the pensions that they already incurred, and those are actually even larger ($20bn/yr). Anyway, Congress did already rescind the requirement that USPS prefund the pensions (a 57bn debt forgiveness), but this

I would be much more interested in "here is a provably memory safe version of openssl with all its memory safety bugs fixed"

by Eridrus 3mo ago
I think the problem being solved here is largely one of waste. USPS hides 9bn of unfunded pension obligations every year and underserves urban areas to subsidize rural areas. Mail volume is also generally falling as everything moves to emai

It's https://github.com/verus-lang/verus It's not my own project, but it's doing basically the same thing you are doing which is why it is relevant.

The biggest problem with obviously AI driven projects right now is that nobody knows how much expertise you have in this area (seems low given you don't know about systems that do very similar things), nor how carefully you thought abo

See, this goes back to the, all software engineers besides me are wrong, because I see this list and do not think it is anywhere close to a sufficient list for good quality software. The thing about all these criteria is that sometimes they

by Eridrus 3mo ago
Most engineers are wrong (I obviously am the true arbiter of taste), but that doesn't mean there isn't better and worse code. "Does it work" glosses over a bunch of things: is it fast, cheap, secure, reliable, easy to un

Why not use Verus? It augments Rust with Z3 and is not a pile of unverified slop.

This will inevitably be allocated like other budgets, and from talking to Meta folks about GPU budgets, it is going to be brutal.

Thanks for the pointer, though I can't seem to find TabFM and AutoGluon at that link?

by Eridrus 3mo ago
Honestly, I don't really know AutoGluon, if this does xgboost tuning that's good. I do still think ELO scores are still a way to obscure results though. For all we know this is like 0.1% better than a "normal" approach o
