I routinely see Astra extract related functionality into it's own file after it gets past a certain size, unprompted. And prompted it can extract the black boxes if you tell it what the boxes are or what to look for. Same for cleaning

How does your logic explain that OpenAI seems to want to hide the extent of the HuggingFace incident, and every week we learn from 3rd parties about new victims of the hack? 4D chess? They want others to find the hacked services, so the rep

AI will explain it, but it's against HN rules for me to post the explanation. Basically they are misleading when they say "thermal equilibrium", same physical temperature does not imply thermal equilibrium.

I think GP was making a joke about RAM prices. Makes me wonder what is the effect of the RAMpocalypse on drone prices.

Given that he says "never use a LLM suggested word", and given he's a sophisticated writer, it's clearly a joke. Pangram 4 says it's 100% human written, including the "load-bearing" sentence.

It kind of makes sense that if English is not their first language, the can't review the LLM English output also. However most likely they just don't understand what good communication looks like, LLMs are perfectly capable of tur

One way they improved the hallucination problem was basically training the models to refuse to do or say something if they are not very sure they can do it. As a side effect, they refuse to work on problems they know are extremely hard.

1 year from now: Just 100 mil people died in this AI caused incident. Why are you scaremongering about the apocalypse? There is no evidence to support that. It was the fault of OpenAI for being negligent with the sandboxes. AI is not danger
