Do we want humans to evolve to think more, or think less? Maybe AI is the best thing for the free software world, but not the world as a whole.

Then ask it to use a different tone!

What feels more off to me is why does the king have a cross? And why does a religion use the murder weapon of its messiah as its main logo? What if He was killed by a rock or a rifle or a guillotine? What would the king be carrying on his h

Still hoping for a company to agentically port the python ecosystem to GIL-free python.

Imagine someone using the same fully customized emoji multiple times in the same text. Seems like a waste of space. Maybe better to encode just a UUID, and send the image codebook separately.

Humans also have a gut brain. So maybe we have 3 seperate brains? The most important question: are they all conscious?

It's time to stop solving logic problems and start solving the more difficult philosophical problems, like the hard problem of consciousness.

Makes you wonder what is the OpenAI/Anthropic token budget of the Russian military.

Maybe it's more of theoretical interest, e.g. the interplay between thermodynamics and information theory, etc.

At least the AI generated posters are better than human-generated t-shirt designs, where you find generic texts such as: "Est. 1984" (or any random year), "I [heart] NY", "Property of [City/School] Athletic Dep

I like the other posters more, but the first poster probably still conveys the idea of the event better: people having fun, drinking beer, with a live band. You don't get that from most of the other posters unless you first mentally tr

Yes, they are, but the most important subtasks of designing a CPU are not physics related. They are picking the right parameters for things like: how wide do I make this bus, how many registers do I put in the register file, how large do I

> The wide margins remind me of university coursebooks. What I want is a paperback where the margins are chosen such that you can read the text when you fold back the facing part of the book.

That's exactly where LLMs can shine, because design space exploration requires tedious work and endless simulations.

Guess how electrical engineers feel about the term "transformers".

If 10% of revenue is still cheaper than building secure systems ... Perhaps what would help is a progressive system, where you'd pay 20% the next time.

Why, the LLM can make up its own architecture. The value lies in the design space exploration, which is what an LLM can easily do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_space_exploration

At some point people will use an LLM to design an Apple M series competitor.

It's probably in the training data somewhere, maybe in multiple places. If users ask ChatGPT questions about that movie, it has to answer them, after all.

No. The morons who hired those morons were responsible.

That's like blaming Seagate when your harddisk fails. No judge will fall for that. You should have made backups. And you are responsible for the data of your clients.

Why did they make those security settings global? I'd want different containers (sandboxes), depending on the things I'm doing.

It's a bit silly to call them "errors" when the AI can be malicious, do very smart things to hack into systems, etc. The whole statistical parrot phrasing is old now. This is not how to look at AI, unless you have an agenda.

It is basically the P=IP question.

It's the Reality Distortion Field™. Best known from The Bible, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. Slightly more than half of the population is susceptible.

It's a bit like the reality distortion field and how some engineers are not susceptible to it.

Probably because the AI was also trained on HN comments.
