This is pretty cool, though I wonder if the use of AI in this particular way is extraordinarily novel. Computer aided design using physics and optimization has existed and been designing parts for decades now. This is just more of the same.

The ability for a small number of extremely wealthy people to dictate what laws should not be passed is not protection of the minority, and if it was intended by the founders (which in some ways it was, though not in the form it takes today

I've never really found the like/dislike buttons useful, and tbh they could get rid of ratings altogether and not much would change for me.

Most HN comments sections are like this, where the title is more a nucleation site for a discussion than commenting on the actual article.

I don't think you disagree. The point is that JPEG has the constraint: make an image as similar as possible to the source image which not going over x kilobytes. LLMs have no similar constraint, so calling them "compression"

They don't need to imo. I use ChatGPT to help me find useful search keywords when I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. Like recently it helped me find an artist I had forgotten the name of based on his style. I think we

I remember this stage when I started taking SSRIs when I was an older teenager. I was warned about it and was seeing a short-term therapist and so I dealt with it well, but there's a short 2-4 weeks where the crushing demotivation that

I understand this perspective, but I think that it's an overcorrection. I grew up with depression that went untreated until my late teens, and if I wasn't medicated when I was or soon thereafter I would in all likelihood not be al

Me too. I imagine it's some combination of changing the prompt they give to the net for you and tweaking parameters?

I mean like, you could doubt that, but in lieu of zoning laws there isn't any reason not to.

It's not a tautology, because it isn't clear that there is some threshold beyond which connections are too weak or too strong. I might think that more connections are more good, for instance.

Alternatively, getting started with Java you quickly hit polymorphism, inheritance, getters-and-setters, and null object handling. And yet everyone in my intro to CS class in uni managed to pick up Java within a week or two. Haskell is a bi

>I asked, "If a woman gives birth to a baby in 9 months, how many months does a dog take to give birth to a baby." It answered, "Dogs do not give birth to babies." to be fair, I'd probably say the same thing lol.

Yeah, I've always had a knack for it but a lot of people in my family do not. It was a bit of a shock to me that the patterns you use to get what you want out of a search engine aren't obvious to most people, but I guess that&#x27

Why does that strike you as myopic? Just the opposite, if the Rabbinate decided that they've never heard of these little bugs in the water and so they don't count, that would be myopic. The fact that this is a question which was

That is true, but factory farming is something that we decide to do. You bring up how our ancestors were cannibals, do you also eat human meat?
