I don't know man? I have to think if Apple were mandated to be more open to competitors they would not be allowed to reject apps on this basis. This problem is just multifaceted and far reaching. Not sure how to go about solving it?

Huh? There is still censorship by surrogacy. It’s just that now they censor things you don’t like being said, so you don’t mind as much. For you it’s not a problem as long as the people being censored have a world view or narrative contrary

I think they are more confident that most of the people in society believe in the same hubris. They can all point to some class of people that are lower than them. Don’t underestimate the power of that kind of motivation on the masses. The

This. Anyone who thought Sam Altman wasn’t in it for the money from the start, was being naive. In the extreme. Not only Mr Altman, but most of the people giving the larger donations were hoping for a hit as well. Why is that so incredible

No. Because the vast majority of the data used was not theirs to provide. If people, and especially organizations, found their data in that data release the courts would make anyone using the model pay the appropriate licensing fees. So eve

That's another benefit of the system from the perspective of Walmart higher ups. No doubt.

The fact that it won't be asymmetric in public is the issue. Anyone can record you because you can't stop them from recording their daughter's birthday party in a public park. If you don't want to be in the frame, you ha

You don't give body cams to counter retail theft. There are better surveillance systems for that. The body cams are for safety vis-a-vis personal offenses not really property offenses. I understand why the cameras are there, and I stil

To be fair, the crime in the 90's is different than the crime today. In the 90's, there was absolutely more crime than today. No question about that. However, how many Target or Walmart mass shooters were there in 1990? How many h

Only tangentially relevant to the story I guess, but StoryGraph is kind of a brilliant idea.

The danger, of course, is that they decide that they don't believe they can sell a single sku at USD20000 and make the same money they're making now. So then, the price goes up 2.5x to 10x depending on how greedy they want to be.

I'm thinking 1 is more like: "The devs who can write a new system are not the same as the devs who can keep a system running." That's definitely true in my experience. The people you can hire to write a totally new syste

So is the possibility that attention is an emergent genetic trait. There are many, many alternative explanations. You are lamenting the exclusion of your preferred alternative explanation, but the researchers need to choose one and look fur

Ok. Design the experiment to test your hypothesis, and then present its results. The truth of it will be in the data. There is likely a way to test this hypothesis on human children in an ethical fashion.

They did suggest a new experiment, one lasting longer than 21 days to test their hypothesis. Hypothesis -> proposed experiment -> results -> questions evoked by results -> new hypothesis -> new proposed experiment MOST import

I think so many people, even most here on HN, have forgotten how the scientific method works.

Not to be "that guy"... but the negativity seems pretty "requited" to me. I mean, given the tone of your comment.

Besides, whether it hurts women or not, people at the top of that industry are going to replace the vast majority of the women working with AI bots. They'll do so for the profit increase. Money is in the driver's seat. Not men&#x2

And pretty soon, we'll be able to get rid of the model acting on the screen as well. I'd say in about 10 years the entire operation will be automated by AI. Probably less than 10 if things keep developing at this breakneck pace. (

I suspect immigrants may not be the issue either? But I agree, blacks and Pacific Islanders combined don't comprise enough of the population to be causing the drop in numbers. I removed the lowest performers from the data entirely, a

by bilbo0s 2y ago
Again, the numbers don't add up tho? Maybe I'm reading the data wrong, but it seems to say that Pacific Islanders are the lowest performers, blacks the second lowest, and Hispanics the third lowest? Again, if I'm incorrect,

Yep. I would go a bit further and say that Asians should be in their own group altogether and not compared to anyone else until the other groups are remediated. They are so far off the scale, especially on the high end, that I'm not su

Don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but again, not everything is a war. With the new US administration, for example, will come new policies that will have a segment of people in the EU and UK saying “economic war”. But it’s no more wa

This. People are calling this war and it isn’t. It’s competition in markets and strategy to facilitate gaining marketshare in different markets. And lo and behold, everyone wants to protect their own access to their own market. Not everythi

I don't think they should tell people exactly how much tech they have. Why give people intelligence briefs on your capabilities? The point is to catch criminals and terrorists. If those criminals and terrorists believe that Palantir or

These models will get better. And in answer to the previous question, of course they will get rid of artists. They will keep just enough to do the work necessary with the help of generative models, and let go of the rest. The rest of the ar
