Some of it might be loss of external validation, no more stars in github. Some of it might be an aversion to a non-consensual contribution to the end of their chosen profession as a means to make a good living. Much of it might be because t

If it weren't expanding wouldn't the points of light from the 100s of billions of galaxies remain for us see in the visible spectrum?

This is the outcome that every privacy advocate has been warning about for decades and being increasingly challenged by people who were fine with it as 'they have nothing to hide and do no wrong'.

This is always a hot topic on HN. My takeaway from all of the discussions is that the ability to 'see' an imagined visual representation of something exists on a spectrum from absolutely nothing ever, into a minds eye abstract ide

I have caught myself writing in a manner similar to LLM output. I put it down to reading so much of LLM content at work and online that it bleeds into my own style.. Nothing egregious like the "it's not this, it's that"

Maybe a future frontier LLM could approach the problem by first building its own stockfish, then applying the subsequent results

By this logic everyone should have their own impact website. The suggestion that everyone right now not giving a meaningful percentage of their income to save a life is responsible for ending that life, is ridiculous.

So are you saying we should have a credits doc for all major contributors to all software and hardware products, both human and LLM? I'd agree with that, this is not available at the moment for the most popular and profitable products

If I plan a project to build an app and write the full technical specifications and architecture myself, draft data structures, and even provide logic suggestions, and then hand it over to a team of humans to implement - it is at least my t

An LLM can build novel things if guided by a human with a novel idea. The issue is that simple and novel can also be copied easily (anyone can just point an LLM at the target and ask it to build a local personal version). The days of making

I can't reply to your latest comment as we reached the end of the thread. It's all good, let's agree to disagree on a few points. Discussions like this are difficult enough, and through text on a site like this even more so

So many assumptions. Have I now ascended to become the embodiment of everything you hate in the world? As the kids say, touch some grass, and then thank God you weren't born Iranian

Claude, create a webpage that provides family tree diagrams of all European royal families, clicking on each name expands the element to include any notable events from that person's life.

No-one alive more than a few years needs reminding that Iran is part of the 'axis of evil'. However, there are a large number of people unaware that my country and allies are also currently committing warcrimes. You have the righ

If we are at a point where - instead of condemning each active warcrime as being independently abhorrent, we are offering friendly suggestions to consider each in relation to others on some subjective view of severity then I don't see

..and so the thin veil of the post war order fell away, not with a bang but with proclamations of moral relativism perceived as virtue.

Would it? Or would it just open up another revenue stream for websites? Verified corporate accounts sure, but with prices set per number of usernames per account, billed monthly.

This seems to be common in large corporations. Your example (requirements changing haphazardly) is a very common occurrence, it's a class of problem where the inevitable failure can't be isolated to one or two things with certainl

I'm struggling with this on a hobby project now. I'm torn between continuing the fast pace of development and taking a pause and checking the entire codebase. The more features I add now will likely make the inevitable refactor mu

I agree, long may the 'its not x, not y, it's z' phrasing persist.

It's not privilege, it was demanded by workers who fought hard to obtain it. We should be more conscious of this, if only to help stave off the constant attempts to erode what our ancestors gained for us.

I'm not an AI advocate by any means, but its usefulness is not all or nothing. I use it at work a lot - scanning our documentation + data warehouse + version control system all at once saves me a lot of time. I can let it build boiler

Is there a solution for audio and video downscaling when accessing content via the browser in a linux htpc setup? I don't think any of the big streaming content providers have native apps on linux and no browser can pass through audio

You're using it to help you study and think, which is great, but the original post was about how many people are bypassing that step entirely.

Perhaps we end up demanding no doubt. Human only community meet ups to discuss and share ideas, music and art. No recording allowed. The Internet becomes primarily a passive stream of information vetted by government and Mega Corps, just li

Senior developers know what behavior to constrain. If incorrect LLM output is a prompt issue then demand for experienced developers will remain, and demand may actually increase as time passes.

There's a tipping point and we may be getting close. A few of my friends' kids & nephews have recently switched. Now that Valve seems to have solved the gaming compatibility issue, what Windows only software is left for teenag

When the construction worker messes up a job that then causes injury or damages the property they absolutely get sued. The state can even get involved if the mistake is deemed criminal negligence. In your example the owners will often take
