Rubber hose cryptanalysis works every time, unless you design your protocol to not have any visibility into the data. Which is impossible in the case of Telegram feeds at the very least.

That's just, like, your opinion, HN reader. Mars is going to inspire a huge number of kids to go into engineering, much like the Moon landings did. I am an engineer today (although a software engineer, not a "real" one) becau

I hope they succeed beyond anyone's wildest expectations. As a species (and more narrowly as a nation) we need something to strive for. In the 60s we had that, but that was before I was born. Right now the feeling is sort of like &quot

I wonder how they use US data too. LinkedIn is so cringe, the value of its data in the mix is probably negative.

The poor do not live in the center of London. It’s one of the most expensive places in the world.

Lately I’ve been submitting the same requests to GPT 4o and Mistral Large running on my laptop or one of my own servers that has 2xA6000. I get about the same quality from both and probably would not be able to tell which is which in a blin

That 50-person breaking point for informal/humane treatment is what I have observed as well. By the time the company reaches that size you can’t help but hire a couple “politicians”, and they begin to metastasize, and bring their mafia

Because I need to not just book the tickets and an arbitrary hotel. I need to get tickets with constraints - for one thing I’d like to have a bit more legroom on that 13 hour flight. For another, I need to also sit next to my wife and kid.

Yes but now that it is possible I shouldn’t be spending half a day to do it. We’re on the verge of computers _finally_ becoming full blown assistants rather than just dumb tools that you have to painstakingly learn to use and then operate b

You’re misunderstanding who’s the “fascist” here. It’s not Musk. We get it, you don’t like his tweets or success, but he’s right in this case.

> Software is good enough I beg to differ. Software won’t be good enough until a normal person just tells it what to do and it does what the human asked. 95% of people are completely unable to use software beyond checking email or watchi

None of this is “well conceived”. De Moraes is way too high on his own supply.

Because they’re owned by Big Pharma and Big Healthcare. Same as Republicans. Also because we'd much rather fund wars than solve such problems.

The US is so corrupt that I’m afraid any attempt at universal healthcare would make it even more expensive. Obamacare was basically a trillion dollar giveaway to Big Pharma and Big Healthcare. The only positive thing I can see in it for me

Lately I can’t even get a doctor - both the specialist and primary care doctors are booked months in advance. And I have one of the best insurance coverages currently available. Remember how we laughed at Canadians and Brits waiting for mon

Sergey lied to you (and likely also to the immigration officer). All cattle in that area was shot and buried, all contaminated equipment was abandoned, even the stuff that could be cleaned up. A chip with such coarse lithography would need

I don’t think the “US dime” will be coming as lavishly irrespective of the composition and allegiances of the Biden admin. This is a major election issue, and Harris is wobbly even without this.

Humans totally do this if their prefrontal cortex shuts down due to fight or flight response. See eg stage fright or giving bullshit answers in leetcode style interviews.

Idk I think the fact that it needs “hints” and “prodding” is a good thing, myself. Otherwise we wouldn’t need humans to get those answers, would we. I want it to augment humans, not replace them.

They also take pictures and videos. That takes a ton of compute nowadays, with all the computational photography stuff going on in the background. Most laptops cannot do realtime processing and compression of 8K video.

Some of the coffee houses are still there. I visited them when I was in Vienna. They aren’t the hotbed of revolutionary thought anymore, it seems. Vienna was basically the center of western civilization for quite a while, and it shows to th
