You don't think it has to do with all the dying from a heatwave going on there?

When it comes to non-determinism, the occasional bug or optimization difference in a compiler is not even in the same category as the 50+% chance of a different answer every time that you get with llms.

You overestimate the value of these tools to someone who couldn't already do the work or at the very least identify a good result.

Realtors are experts in the market. A good realtor pays for themselves by getting you the best selling price or finding the best home for your price range. If you don't understand opportunity cost, then obviously it appears to be a rip

Roundabouts are almost always a good idea, assuming there is sufficient traffic. They keep traffic flowing faster, more predictably, and with fewer accidents.

And how about this: > The closest I could get to punching Google in the ear and ripping out its nose hairs. As if giving more money to another shitty megacorp for another frustrating device is going to make any difference to the first s

Social Media has been used for Balkanization of the US for at least a decade. It's how Russia said they would weaken the US, and exactly how they have. Now Social Media is being used with LLMs to make it even more effective. Social med

Any large and well resourced enough entity that is interested in building a nuclear weapon already knows how difficult it is to enrich uranium to purity levels necessary for a weapon. It's not exactly a secret.

by daveguy 4mo ago
It requires very large, high powered centrifuges and tons of uranium. Requires an infrastructure project that is visible from space, even underground. And projects that large are difficult to keep secret anyway.

To a wannabe authoritarian, fear and uncertainty are benefits. They love to flex in shitty ways.

I think you're misinterpreting a strongly worded "it isn't as great as the hype" with "there's nothing there". Because "nothing there that matches the hype" is both 100% true and completely diffe

From what I've seen lately, Ed isn't saying the technology isn't significant. He criticizes the fact that AI companies are dumping this kind of money into it with circular financing deals. If it goes like you say, (GPUs at ho

So... They're not choosing what you can sell. They're letting arbitrary third parties choose what you can sell? That seems worse.

*not yet willing to do it... But look at the generations coming up who are dealing with this technological capture of humanity. They don't like it.

Well, this definitely got pushed down in the HN ranks. 49 points in 1 hour, but let's not talk about anything that might cause people to rethink technofascist human replacement. 1984. Brave New World. We.

Every single one of your examples is one that comes nowhere near the blankness of an llm pile of numbers when it isn't answering a question. Maybe I should have said, is completely dead, rather than in a coma, between questions. The qu

If that's claptrap this is article sewage waste. On the nose is an understatement. It's not doing the same work, or producing the same output. It's an episodic response to specific requests. If you went into a coma between

This is an example of how llm's break when you ask them "what should I build?" No current AI can provide good judgement. To be clear: gaussian splat is very cool, but "in the terminal" is just nerdbait. The projec

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives thought the government picking winners and losers in industry was a bad thing. But that was before about 75% of them joined the dumpty cult.

Better options would have been "True", "False", "Unknown" (which opinions would fall under too). That also includes an interesting assessment of how well LLMs can identify missing information. My guess is they

Don't forget about regimes like Iran and North Korea using crypto to receive bribes, ransomware payments, and launder money. Crypto is a cesspool. Just wait for the bank runs when everyone tries to bail out. There's a reason we ha
