You said programmers are unaware of contributing to weapons, suggesting a parallel to economists, and then say that economists don’t want to to know that they’re doing something bad. If you’re unaware how could you have something to hide? T

I guess it depends on how you define agent. One interesting example I’ve seen is descript. Someone I know used to pay a video editor for about 5 hours of work to edit down recordings of interviews. Now the tool (agent?) quickly takes out th

Of course the cost isn’t near zero, but is the pricing “at Microsoft’s cost”? If it is, then them building a datacenter wouldn’t save anything, plus would have enormous expenses related to, well, building, maintaining, and continuously upgr

In 2023 Google had $307.39B in revenue and $24B in profit last quarter (suggesting ~100B in profit this year). Meanwhile OpenAI is losing money and making no where near these sums.

Given their scale and direct investments from Microsoft, what makes you think this is any cheaper? They’ll be getting stuff at or near cost from azure, and Azure already exists and with huge scale to amortize all of the investments across m

So this is DNT. As he said, browsers already support this. This article made it sound like they don’t? This is why I’m so confused.

A lot of finger pointing but it’s very light on the specifics. Newsome apparently veto’s it but it doesn’t really go into why. There’s got to be a lot more going on here. Anyone know?

How many students apply and go to college a year? And how many startups try to get funding a year? These are vastly different numbers.

Let’s say that’s true. Wouldn’t it be a useful edge?

Hot word detection to activate an assistant occurs locally on your device for the purpose of activating said assistant. That is a far cry from “Pretty sure Apple and Google already do this, just to all phones, in all homes, and not just for

How is the OP right? Huge claims require huge evidence; this trope has been disproven over and over again. Security researchers look at exactly this kind of thing, and nevermind this community is full of the people who would actually build

Comments like this worry me that HN is being dragged down with the wider culture wars and truthiness that’s destroying all that we have. I would hope for better in this forum.

They do not learn new facts instantly in a way that can rewrite old rules or even larger principals of logic. For example, if I showed you evidence right now that you were actually adopted (assuming previously you thought you werent), it wo

That literally does happen. Restaurants in places like SF close all the time because they cannot get enough staff since folks cannot afford to live here, and there are maximums the public are willing to pay for a given category of food.

You can only increase teacher salaries so much before tuition becomes unaffordable. Private schools can only charge so much before demand falls off, and public schools have a max budget before they have to close schools (happening now in SF

What you’re suggesting, if I understand you correctly, is the market is suggestion it’s irrational for any teacher to go to SF? And thus SF shouldn’t have any teachers because richer people can afford to displace them?

I don’t understand - are you suggesting rent control keeps doing prices? SF is one of the most expensive housing and rental markets in the US. What’s not clear about the need for more supply? In the mean time rent control means we haven’t c

It also means that in places like SF those who built the cities character and provide the backbone of all kinds of services can stay. If the market price came to be they’d have to move, and then we’d only have tech workers who have way more

Similar. Would be nice for a max version as well. What about cases on your phone? I assume you need to remove it first?

But they should owe you for stealing your likeliness without your awareness to promote their products. This isn’t for satire purposes.

I’d love to know how much money Mistral is taking in versus spending. I’m very happy for all these open weights models, but they don’t have Instagram to help pay for it. These models are expensive to build.
