Near flawless is an unreasonable expectation. SpaceX had the advantage of running years of cargo missions. The error was simply not using the same successful model with any new vehicle.

I struggle with this question. The editor plays a valuable role and it's not hard to swallow the argument that editors make science better, they're the front line filter. Employing them full time is a core value that the current s

I'd guess the more mundane, someone probably had a spreadsheet of a few thousand updates or improvements, checked a reasonable sample of them, then accepted the lot of then. I bet you they don't make that mistake next time.

I suspect someone was tasked with using the latest tools to improve a bunch of listings. 50 years ago they were given a typewriter for the same task, today they were given an LLM. It just feels like someone doing their job to me. Different

That way of looking at it feels like it focuses on the one error while ignoring that, in all likelihood, the same action that caused the error, probably improved 1000 other listings. I guess I'm a glass half full kinda person, this sho

This feels like something of a non story to me. Using AI for product descriptions seems like an obvious and reasonable use case; and data entry errors are not uncommon nor terribly harmful in the context.

I think this is a fair point. I see other comments pointing out the value in this as exploratory research. There's some middle ground here though. I think studies like would serve the lay reader and non-scientific community by includin

I'm excited to see a goodnewsnetwork.org article make it to the top of hacker news. This site has become a favorite of mine.

This study is getting a fair bit of media attention and I'm curious what others think of it. The study is large and appears to follow sound methods. My concern about it is their focus on bias. They address age, gender, and racial bias

I haven't been running windows for a year or two now, so this was a while back, but I think I was on Windows 10, possibly it was 8 back then, no tweaks. But I was quite successful at this in Matlab specifically. If you overload memory

On Windows I could consistently open a 32GB matrix in Matlab with 16GB of RAM on my laptop and perform operations on the matrix. The disk would spin, and it would take 20 minutes to do a simple operation because of the swapping, but I could

In Windows on a 16GB RAM laptop, I've often fired up Matlab, opened a 32GB matrix, and performed a few simple operations on it. In Windows Matlab dutifully chugs away on the problem, the disk spins like mad, and I put Matlab in the bac

I reported 4 fake reviews to Amazon on a product I purchased before. The product page had changed from the old one I originally purchased on to a new one with 4 obviously fake 5-star reviews. I found this when I went to re-purchase the prod

I'm quite doubtful this suit will succeed. To succeed the SEC would need to prove intent to disrupt the market. You can certainly show that he had a reason to attack short sellers, but he also has a long history of communicating in exa

Does this have anything to do with Google removing their "Don't be evil" trademark? Maybe huh?
