Does the AI actually do everything, or just act as the CEO?

I’m somewhat surprised nobody has pointed one of those hacking models at a Rift CV1 and said “make it work without all the Facebook junk, preferably in Linux.”

The Xreal augmented reality sunglasses type designs look a lot more interesting. I’m sure they sacrifice a lot of visual quality compared to a full gaming headset, but the general pitch makes more sense.

Huh, interesting. After looking it up I guess I was wrong.

These models are trained on human language, which belongs to us, we shouldn’t surrender it to them. Keep the em-dashes. IMO don’t overuse negative parallelisms though, they were always bad and lazy.

The rest of the Wikipedia page discusses errata as the documents issued to describe the errors, not the errors themselves. The section you’ve linked is… a bit weirdly written. I don’t think they meant to suggest an alternative definition th

Nice investigation. It is always surprising to me when a nice round number like 1MiB results in the “bad performance” configuration (although it happens). Are you sure erratum is the right word in this context? I usually see it used to desc

I don’t think the ban of bioweapons has really been tested. Bioweapons have a lot of downsides that make them not very appealing to deploy anyway (high chance of getting your own team, not terribly fast moving, disciplined modern soldiers i

I mean, given recent voting patterns, people currently in their 30’s probably won’t be elected until like 2060, right?

Em-dashes would be a loss, they can be a better flowing version of a parenthetical. “It’s not X it’s Y” is not a loss. This phrase is a symptom of a situation where the author wants to subvert expectations but doesn’t have the space, abilit

This seems like an interesting alternative line of research. Design the a chess engine where the goal is to beat the best human in the minimum number of turns, while still offering ~no chance of human victory.

It looks neat but I’m confused by the layout. It has a smaller screen on the “outside” and then a big foldable double screen on the “inside.” Why? Why not wrap around the outside? You’d get to use all of the screen real estate at once, and

Usually Apple waits for other companies to work out the low-hanging-fruit problems, so they don’t have to release a device with a bunch of low-hanging-fruit mistakes. As a result, you shouldn’t grade them on the “first iteration” scale. The

I haven’t been following the AI proof stuff very closely, but the impression I got was that these models are producing massive Lean programs that prove the statement one way or another, but are quite difficult to fully understand. Actually,

As a user, most GUIs are awful. I’m fairly certain that this thing could, for example, vibe up a better UI for Amazon Music in less time than it takes me to find the music I’ve purchased and downloaded (because the system is more interested

Oh wow, if they’d changed the title to match the release date (1994) that would really change the vibe, haha.

Although, some services have started labeling their old natural language processing functionality “AI,” and released additional “AI” features, so an off switch isn’t always possible. The options seem to be to lose previously existing functi

For the first one, Elk makes it obvious that everything is flowing into “database” or “reports.” This seems like an important part of the design. The post mentions that it doesn’t do DAG as well as Dagre or Elk, so, known and honestly state

I think that would be confusing. Intuitively “low level language” describes the language. Your definition actually describes the nature of the compiler implementation.

by bee_rider 1mo ago
“Low level language” is one of those terms like “VLSI” (very large scale integration) where they defined it in the 70’s or something, so the academic definition is out-of-sync with what most people would expect. This is fine, it’s a term of

Have they pulled many other “stunts” like the COVID library? It was a pretty crazy time, I think we shouldn’t judge things done then too harshly.

This second thing (either slightly different from anti-intellectualism or maybe a different form of it$l) is quite odd. I wonder where it comes from. Sometimes it feels like we have a strong bias toward surprising effects, to the point wher

In this case the HN-edited headline (combined with current events) reads to me like “No, really guys, we do monitor internal coding agents for misalignment.”

Breaking “social” up into networking (connecting to my friends: MySpace, old Facebook) and media (social-graph recommended content: TikTok, current Facebook mostly)… the former might stick around. But the latter seems pretty vulnerable to l

For a second I thought they were aiming the scary proof machine at us mortals doing PDE stuff. Fortunately the speculation is just that they happen to be aiming it at a nearby mathematician type problem. Phew.

Just to be fully pedantic, Octave is the closest thing to being Matlab without being Matlab (and actually I use Octave). :)

No, but we don’t need it, the comment works fine as: For all we know LLMs might be conscious in the same way that any other object might be. Sorry for the extra word. We can’t conclusively say anything is not conscious. But is there any rea

This seems like a sort of complex trade-off (taking your word for it that they do run more efficiently when run continuously). We’d still probably prefer to run them on renewable energy and defer them when running on non-renewables, because
