In all honesty it wouldn't even matter. If the data brokers sell data, then even if they didn't sell it to the government, they would sell it to "PR/Lobbying Firms" who lobby the government. They would sell it to &q

Because a new grad in the US costs more than a new grad in Vietnam, Hyderabad, Uruguay, or Ningbo.

Most succinct answer to this general concern I've seen in months. It's business. Less dollars paid out for the same LLM content that the managers know the developers will produce in any case. Foolish to pay more for essentially th

It's both. A new grad in Asia with AI access is just as good as a new grad in the US. Only way cheaper in the long run. Where will we get experienced seniors in 20 years? Well first, will we even need theme? Will AI's be able to r

From a security perspective, you shouldn't be using anything you don't control from the bottom up. That includes Windows and Signal. Full stop. But in a pragmatic world, we can't have that level of security. You're reduc

Not anymore! Only half joking. I really do think the majority of that revenue will be going away.

If that's considered high, I'm just not going to say what it costs in the Caribbean. At least where I was.

Even more fundamentally, think about how much carbon running a cup of water from your faucet produces. No matter where you live, this is more carbon than an LLM prompt generates. Or, even worse God forbid, think about how much carbon is pro

I was thinking that the entire time I read HN User onlyrealcuzzo's comment. Why, on Earth, would Apple ever want to solve the problem of Apps taking up more space? That's just not good business. Way better business right now to pu

This doesn't necessarily preclude the possibility of making a model that can generate a film. It's still something they can work out. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if models we're seeing these days are not a necessary

I mean, I get what everyone's saying. But, just Devil's Advocate, what would be so terrible about software developers having to find some other line of work? We've used our software development skills to automate other people

You never know when it will start spouting it either. That kind of uncertainty in the responses landing in your interface is just not sustainable. Your money is coming from the quality of the content your system is putting out. If it's

Uh, guy, it's called a bias to make money as opposed to a bias towards not making money. Being in favor of making money with the company you create is not a bad thing. It's a good thing. And Elon shoving white supremacy content in

That's the thing. I mean really, people don't want that crap turning up in their responses. Imagine if you'd started a company, got everything built, and then happened to launch on the same day Elon had his fever dream and s

Sigh. Firstly, that doesn't tell us whether there is bias in data. That tells us whether or not there is bias in their data. Secondly, it tells us it can train to spot things that human rads do not train to spot. It tells us nothing

Sigh. Rads can see a person's race. We look at them. That's the reason rads never train to determine race from a chest x-ray. BTW, models don't need to train that either. Because if it's important, it's recorded,

I've been going to RSNA for over 25 years, in all that time, the best I've seen from any model presented to me was the smack the radiologist on the head and say, "you dummy, you should have seen that!" model. That is, th

Problem is, in the EU, the secure sources of income are not becoming more shaky looking. At the same time though, in the EU, the risky stuff is becoming a bit less risky looking. The EU is clearly energized to decouple itself from US tech,

Not really. There's plenty of wealth in the EU. What they don't have is an appetite for risk. You could lower taxes to zero, but you'd still not get the level of speculative investment in the US without cultivating a much lar

If the people wanted congress to rein in Trump they would not have voted the opposition out. This is very much what we wanted. And we clicked "yes" on the question at every electoral level. I understand everyone's got a littl

While the employer might lose a worker to an entrepreneurial venture, isn't this the sort of self-selection out that leads to a more engaged workforce overall? Mmmm.. I don't know man? Be careful with this line of reasoning. Som

Demanding other nations follow our laws is “rational”? And “natural”? Uh.. yeah.. Agree to disagree. In fact, I think our entire unhealthy fixation on minorities is irrational. But hey, obviously enough voters believe in this trump nonsense

Pretty sure what that commenter claims to be doing is illegal. At least in my state. And, he would be liable if that's what you're asking. Tesla, at no time, claimed that their vehicles should be used in that fashion.
