If it's OK to encode it in your natural neural net, why is it not OK to put it in your artificial one?

Certainly it is literally derivative. But so are my memories of my time on the site. And in fact I do intend to make commercial use of some of those derivations. I believe it should be a right to make an external prosthesis for those memori

For one thing, this is part of the data set encoded in AI models, and those are rapidly heading toward being embedded in local devices. By the millions then billions. Anything and everything will happen to them, including maybe being sent o

I think it would be useful to add a right-click menu option to HN content, like "similar sentences", which displays a list of links to them. I wonder if it would tell me that this suggestion has been made before.

It's a bank shot. SCOTUS has recognized that newsgathering gets some first amendment protection because "without some protection for seeking out the news, freedom of the press could be eviscerated" (Branzburg v Hayes).

Arbitrary sorting can be really useful for relatively short lists, like a todo, but seems to me to be a lot less useful for thousands of items. And most cases where I would want that, like grouped by topic, is a better use case for tags, or

It's safer than human drivers now. That's good enough. It will take more than that to convince world, and it should. I applaud the well earned skepticism. But I'm an old guy who has no problem qualifying for a driver's l

> no mental bandwidth for things like spiritual constipation That's a feature, not a bug. Fighting for life has more meaning and purpose that yearning for death. We're designed for it. It has only recently become atypical.

It's a shame that the paper doesn't reference Steve Ditko or Stan Lee or Peter Parker. It's only fair to acknowledge prior art.

Exactly. You can hope for money. But if you have money and no hope, you're fucked.

The ones I knew weren't celebrities, they were friendless and isolated and consumed with self disgust. Poor people trapped in unemployment have something in common with rich kids trapped in lethargy. A kind of spiritual constipation.

The most miserable people I've known were rich people's children. Depression is more about the lack of hope than money.

Over-emphasized maybe, but myth? Could Doyle have written a sympathetic lonely depressed addict so well without more than academic understanding of those things?

I seem to have become scarier in my old age. People seem to pay more attention and react more strongly to me than they used to, but all I did was get older and uglier. Whatever physicality I had has waned, but moral presence among strangers

> or at least "pointless" suffering anyway What bulletproof word choice. Robert Harris called Cicero the first modern politician, and that looks right.

You don't believe that there are people who honored a principle until temptation became to strong? Only people who pursued the temptation?

Disagree. The current limitations of Tesla self driving are not around difficulties in judging distances that lidar solves. They're around inference deficiencies with accurate geometry.

There is a high demand for negative reports on any organization affiliated with Elon Musk. It is unsurprising that a robust supply has developed for it. I got paid very slowly by Verizon once, and McKesson another time, but nobody cares. I&

It sounds like the owners desperately leapt on a cheap SaaS as a life boat while the ship sunk, and the writer is blaming the life boat.

Here's a world class scientist here not because we had a hole in the schedule or he happened to be in town, but to discuss this subject that he thought and felt about so deeply that he had to write a book about it. That's a featur

I'm afraid that turning sand and sunlight into intelligence is so much more efficient than doing that with zygotes and food, that people will be quickly out scaled. As with chess, we will shift from collaborators to bystanders.

If the scaling reaches the point at which the AI can do the research at all better than natural intelligence, then scaling and research amount to the same thing, for the validity of the bitter lesson. Ilya's commitment to this path is
