Nothing corroborated this. Performance on benchmarks has practically leveled off. The big gains have come from architecture (have a secondary LLM review output) or searching the internet. Also prices are going up. Everything points to the l

Imagine how rich Apple could have become if they had used Alan Kay's brilliance to build hyper engaging products and services instead of letting him toil away uselessly trying to make the bicycle of the mind. What a waste.

I gotta think people are working pretty hard to not see it's a joke.

No, if people want to walk around calling someone some kind of fascist they need receipts. Anything else is repugnant Internet brigading that has no place on HN.

Thanks! I don't know, a cheeky petition and an off-hand tweet don't seem conclusive or comprehensive to me.

At the bottom of each of these arguments is a "who is accountable" question. You can tell an LLM "hey, use Lean to verify this" or "hey, do a code review" or "hey, write some tests and run them". It m

No, because those direct reports can use tools to build deterministic software. LLMs can't, because they themselves are non-deterministic. They will say they did, and they will be wrong. And the LLM you have check will also say it did,

"identifying" is the wrong word here--that's only possible if Mullvad stores a mapping between IP addresses and people, which according to them, a 3rd party audit, and a law enforcement raid they do not. It's also worth

Listen, I love this idea. But shotguns after rifles? Criminalizing "public sexual immorality"? I literally can't buy in. You also need to criminalize using an unauthorized currency. Again very cool, hope it's not an elab

Lord Satan give me strength. Yes people review compiler output, like compiler engineers. Compilers are deterministic, so reviewing it once is sufficient. Man, it's like some kind of blanket of stupidity over the world. Also clearly AI-
