No I actually do understand where your opinion comes from now and I partially agree. I had forgotten about how badly the ISPs wanted the internet to mirror Cable TV plans. There’s several subjects to go into here and HN probably isn’t the b

Most PE is ironically ultimately owned by publicly traded funds. If you have a 401k that you’re not personally managing odds are that PE is where most of your gains come from.

Costco is such a strange and stark case standing in opposition to this general rule. From everything I hear, I can only gather that the reason is because of extremely experienced and level-headed executive staff.

> Google is the company that created a class-less non-hierarchical internet. Can you explain what you mean by this? I disagree but I don't understand how you think Google did this so I am very curious. For my part, I started using t

Skeptical is a light way to put it. It is essentially a forgone conclusion that once a company IPOs, any veil that they might be working for the global good is entirely lifted. A publicly traded company is legally obligated to go against th

This stuff is the antithesis of what I want to see AI used for. Deriving a bland average of creativity is the saddest thing you could do. I don’t even enjoy design and I find this offensive.

“Be critical, not sycophantic” is a general improvement for the majority of tasks where you want to derive logic in my experience.

I think they just forgot to link their train of thought. I have also used Levenshtein distance for deduplication comparisons so I can guess where the story came from.

Think about what was happening in US labor in the 1920’s, it’s pretty interesting you chose that decade, actually and I think it speaks to my train of thought. The size of a business may not be the best part to care about, maybe the power o

I recently experimented with trying to generate a passable slide deck from a script and outline I had written beforehand. The ChatGPT integration built into Powerpoint was abysmally bad. Like to the point it was embarrassing as a product. C

Reading this comment really shifted my perspective on this whole thing. I’m less upset about the firing and more upset that anyone ever has the ability to control the livelihoods of 19,000 people. Maybe businesses shouldn’t get that big.

I cannot imagine that license addendum is legally enforceable (let alone provable) in most jurisdictions on earth but it is interesting.

> to harden a system you need to spend more tokens discovering exploits than attackers will spend exploiting them. If we take this at face value, it's not that different than how a great deal of executive teams believe cybersecurity

A human can easily produce output that looks like anything an LLM can produce, therefor an LLM detector that can say "this is 100% written by AI" cannot exist. It's really that simple. > Can you ever be 100% sure? Maybe no

by devmor 6mo ago
AI detectors that use text as a basis are not real. It is fundamentally impossible for them to exist.

Yeah I don’t really know how to solve the first problem programmatically but the second problem is a major issue with our justice system in general. Fines are only punishments for the lower economic class and do little to correct behavior.

I have zero problems with this type of citation. From the description, it sounds like there’s a safety issue with some road markings that needs to be fixed and everyone who is not endangering young pedestrians would be happy.

I agree with you and further will add that modularity+atomicity are the ideal state for the vast majority of software applications… but in reality, most organizations can not afford to rewrite their software to the extent required to achiev

While reading the article I was thinking the same thing. I can think of problems I've solved that directly affected 0% of our customers, but overloaded our customer support team.

People gained more exposure to eachother and realized it was kind to warn eachother of things that might bother them a lot. There’s quite a difference between the popularized image of what trigger warnings are and the common sense use-cases

Try doing that on a “real” DB with hundreds of millions of rows too. Anything more than adding a column is a massive risk, especially once you’ve started sharding.

You're right, I apologize for that. I have been responding with annoyance rather than walking away when I receive replies that appear to be ignoring context.

No, it's not intelligence of any kind. It's a statistical language analyzer and reconstructor. This happens to be extremely useful for targeting things like systems that consist of logic defined in structured language.

The biggest jump in the numbers they quoted is 6%. Please look at the columns OTHER than Opus as well.

Please stop using terms you don’t understand like “AGI” because you feel overwhelmed by something doing cool stuff. It’s exhausting.

I would say I didn't mean the statement that generally - it was contextual to the topic. i.e. If your friends wont remark on your penmanship, who cares? If they wont remark on how you treat service workers at a restaurant, that's

Correct. It's been a lifelong struggle for me. I have found outside ways to address it, but even in my 30's I will forget to eat meals or do chores if I don't set disruptive alarms to do so.
