I think it looks fun, but at the same time I really wish you had written the readme yourself and not using an llm. My view: if you can’t be bothered to write it yourself, why should I read it myself?

Depends how you count “big”. Russia-Ukraine has had about 1 million deaths, and has completely changed how Europe thinks about security- it’s hardly a sideshow. Then again, not much territory has changed hands and there has been no regime

I’m aware of those times but none of them are comparable to the most recent war. I don’t think your point about Netanyahu contradicts mine. I was talking about Israeli policy, not what he would have preferred that policy to be.

I was referring to the quote “JPL would blow up a rocket every week, if the budget had room for it.” That makes it sound as if JPL can’t afford to follow the SpaceX strategy, hence my question.

So is Artemis cheaper than Starship then?

I think you should find somebody to talk to (in real life, not HN!) You sound as if you have got into a rut and are not really thinking objectively. At least, you owe it to your partner to have an open talk about how you are feeling.

> it's actually within the realm of human possibility for the government and the individual to be aligned and want the same thing. Actually, this is very hard because different individuals want different things. Normally you need a

You’re saying that AI is already good enough to replace 50% of developers. Sounds like you agree it will be very important.

If you are seriously claiming the attack on Gaza was not a reaction to October 7, you need to explain why Gaza was not attacked in the 20 years prior to Oct 7, but was attacked shortly after it. If you think that Israel always intended to o

I’m in two minds about this, on the one hand I spent a week with acute psychosis after smoking weed when I was a teenager, so I really think people have to be more aware of the risks. On the other hand, I think it’s clear that this is not a

Again, do you have any evidence, from any source - European or American, government or other - that academics are moving to Europe from the US in greater numbers than before?

This is the tech version of "nobody I know voted for Nixon": FB's position in the US & Europe is very misleading from a global perspective. In the Philippines, say, Facebook is the internet. Every business runs on it. P

... It matters for Europe! Also, do we know they aren't still in the US university system doing science?

The article provides absolutely no data to support any claims of a brain drain away from America, towards Europe or anywhere else. You’d think they would have found evidence if there was any. So after reading this, my prior on substantial n

4% isn’t failure! A 4% increase in global GDP would be a big deal (more than what we get in a whole year of progress); and AI adoptionis only just getting started.

> “Specialisation” means that no innovation unrelated to AI gets mind share, investment, patent applications. And that's somehow a good thing? I don’t think the authors claim we should have 100% specialisation. They just say that th

There can be higher- and lower-level descriptions of the same phenomenon. when the kettle boils, it’s because the water molecules were heated by the electric element, but it’s also because I wanted a cup of tea.

I think you're underestimating how important "just a pain in the ass to work with" may be. An analogy would be Hansard and theyworkforyou.com. The government always made Hansard (record of parliamentary debates) available. Bu

The problem with that argument is that, IIRC, there is direct evidence that one reasons that the abuse was covered up was that authorities were afraid of being accused of racism and/or of stirring up ethnic tensions. I don't think

Perhaps that is true, but the response linked by GP claims exactly the opposite: "We hired a specialist firm to build, in a secure sandbox, a safety tool for journalists. They are experts in building privacy-preserving AI solutions - f

Actually, in most economic models of markets, the producer does not capture 100% of the value it creates. The exception would be a pure monopoly where I can do pure price discrimination and charge everybody exactly as much as they would pay

One thing that is maybe underestimated is the very large amount of applied mathematics that is nowhere near the level of frontier mathematics research. For example lots of economics includes a theory component which is usually trivially sim

It’s a fair criticism, but note the Draghi report: “The regulatory burden on European companies is high and continues to grow, but the EU lacks a common methodology to assess it. The Commission has been working for years to reduce the &quot

What evil? I think it would be very hard to have a system of law without corporate personhood. Every time you wanted a law to eg ban x, you would need a separate law for corporations.
