Pretty much any content or community that regularly self polices thought crime language I immediately dislike and block forever. I have slightly more tolerance for beeping over swear words, but not much.

Piggybacking onto your post to sort of expand this. I feel like there are a few views of what those 4 hours can encompass on the internet. My view is that reels/shorts << rage gaming <<< background noise-tier youtube &lt

I don't think Luoyuan Zhang is necessarily doing this, but I'm pretty sure lots of people are using arxiv as a glorified blog and hoping no one notices.

Great post, thank you. At least AI won't reach this level of story quality for the foreseeable future.

If you're not a phone power user, you can get by on old low end stuff. When my pixel 4a died of a bad screen crack a couple years ago, I replaced it with a random used 4a on ebay for $80. Two years later and it's still completely

I was extremely impressed by the sora demo in Feb 2024, but there are exactly two videos I remember ever seeing from AI video gen services that will stick around in my mind: the one where realistic spongebob drives away from a cop, and Harr

Why test on Qwen 2.5 when Qwen 3 has been out for about a year, and Qwen 3.5 for a month? My problem with this is ironically entirely vibes based: that for some reason, LLMs love to talk about Qwen 2.5 instead of anything newer.

I don't disagree in theory, but: <START AI SLOP> Manufacturing one hardware setup and charging separately for features is not the problem. The problem is charging ongoing rent for a feature that isn't an ongoing service. A s

Does it get flagged because of users or dang/admin? I don't see any other reason for this to get flagged.

Thanks for writing this. This is unrelated, but one downside of AI being used as an oracle is that I feel like it is/will be less likely to accidentally stumble on an article like this, which clearly explains something I probably never

You can't. Either people will say you're overreacting to stylistic choices and that it's not AI, or that it's AI but a good comment (it's not), or that it's AI and a bad comment, but you should just ignore it l

Is it possible that these are in the top 10, but not the top 5? I'm pretty sure programming, email/meeting summaries, cheating on homework, random QA, and maybe roleplay/chat are the most popular uses.

A bizarre claim like that would be what happens when you let an LLM write the README without reading it first.

I mentally checked out by the time he mentioned buying ray bans as some radical personal statement on privacy and tech nostalgia.

Tesla? I don't love the company or the owner, but it seems silly to completely dismiss them so early on, relatively speaking. Self driving has been a decades long effort; even though I am heavily in favor of Waymo, some speculation tow

Thought this was an interesting horror sci-fi short film about small AI drones being used as targeted weapons. While nothing quite like this has been developed, I wonder how close we can get. Previously submitted: https://news.yc

HN admin dang changing titles opaquely is one of the worst things about HN. I'd rather at least know that the original title is clickbaity and contextualize that when older responses are clearly replying to the older inflammatory title

Yeah, I have no idea if Waymo will ever be a rural thing honestly, mostly for economic reasons. I'm skeptical it would get serious suburban usage this decade too. But for major cities where less than 80% of people own cars, test time d

Look at Waymo, not Robotaxi. Waymo is essentially the self driving vision I had as a kid, and ridership is growing exponentially as they expand. It's also very safe if you believe their statistics[0]. I think there's a saying abou

You allegedly expending 49,000 calories in a week when the discussion is about average people is irrelevant. The post already says it depends on the person too. On the other hand, I am curious how you are possibly exercising that much.

Hi, I thought it would be interesting to post some predictions for GPT 5 I wrote up yesterday and to hear what others expect. I wish I posted it yesterday because a section about model sizes has been confirmed by a leak. Sorry about the bad

A little bit of training data certainly has gotten in there, but I don't see any reasons for them to deliberately distill from such an old model. Models have always been really bad at telling you what model they are.
