labor-led automation produces improvements in quality, while capital-driven automation increases throughput I don’t know if this is true, but I do think that LLMs mainly get used where their proponents don’t care (whether intentiona

I had a dentist explain to me the same for getting my wisdom teeth out, as if it was a selling feature. At least for me, having my memory wiped is far more scary than just being put unconscious (or having some pain and a local anaesthetic).

I’m definitely not in the “ai is sentient” camp, but it obviously has personality and emergent behaviours including when left to its own devices. There have been various experiments on this e.g. https://timkellogg.me/blog&#x

This is a research lab that looks at things like how LLMs perform on long running tasks. The research has nothing to do with replacing radio stations. That said, the ship sailed a long time ago and has nothing to do with AI (except maybe re

Talked to someone at a large company who had admin access to survey results (require to do some analytics). The survey was “anonymous” but results were geo-located, and had some information about the team they came from, which in many cases

AI has scaled well according to convenient measures. It (neural networks) have the property that whatever you define, they can rapidly be trained master it. We’re able to show that various tasks of increasing complication do not require int

I hope you contacted them to explain why. People usually think I’m a nut when I do it, or are too stupid to understand and think it’s a tech support issue, but it’s worth at least trying to make it clear that you are choosing not to use&#x2

Came here with roughly the same thought. Given the stated importance to many of sovereignty and not being dependent on the US, why isn’t there more opposition? I assume it’s just ignorance?

I assume this is about dark patterns but can’t confirm as I’m faced with a cookie wall where I can select from “Manage” and “Accept All”.

Is this real? In my browser I couldn’t click on anything, and I find the whole thing questionable - that so many incidents were sourced seemingly so quickly and with such variety. Would like an easier way to verify if this is real and am le

Identify who your buyer is. It’s probably not a technical person (and thus HN isn’t a great place to advertise). Talk to operational people if you are interested in finding operational pain. Tech teams will tell you they are working on it a

Saw this earlier today, I think it’s very flawed and ideological, unfortunately other posts mentioning this got flagged. First there’s the idea that “nurturing” is somehow what kids need and better for them automatically, that whatever a st

I don’t find this disingenuous. The more typical AI fondation model company claim of “it’s so dangerous only we and people that pay us enough should hand access” is what I think is BS. I don’t see anything wrong with trying to understand so

This is a question about insurance generally. Insurance for something catastrophic and very rare makes the most sense because individual premiums are low and risk is pooled. The opposite kind of insurance, and the dumbest, is getting a warr

It’s not an expansion, they are selling the shoe assets. It’s basically just starting a new business and redeploying capital (if there is any). It’s just a really odd way to announce and undertake it.

If I’m remembering correctly, I had bought a Borland Turbo C++ compiler circa 1994 (for DOS) that came with a demo sheets application you could build and run. Does anyone remember this, I can’t find it now.

I’ve heard this, I don’t automatically believe it nor do I understand why it would need to be true, I’m still caught on the old fashioned idea that the only “thinking” for autoregressive modes happens during training. But I assume this has
