When I'm confused, I kill no braincells, I tip 10%, so I just move the decimal and done. If I'm annoyed, I tip $0. I think in the US most people don't have a frame of reference of what it's like to not have this social p

I believe VC at this stage are willing to accept wasting money for the chance of finding that one solution/technology that will make it all worth it. They aren't paying for you to run a business, they're paying 100 crazy engi

This seems like a legal issue. There needs to be a clear definition of ads, then a requirement for companies to offer ad free options to their services with a clear, fast way to report offenders.

Eventually those places will be premium real estate for ads. Some one will find a way to bring ads to our kitchen or to mount fiji. Maybe they will fly planes overhead, or do crop circles, put put them in hiking trails.

The worse things can and often do generate more revenue. So what are the goals of the AB test?

I’d say aim to always stay as many years behind the current models as you can. They might eventually ilegalize very old models due to emissions, but economically they can’t force you to drive latest models. That should hurt dealers and auto

You can call an avocado a Dollar, and someone might accept exchanging it for an actual dollar, but try to walk into a shop and pay for your beer with that. That’s what consensus is for.

So is it really science? These are concepts from stats 101. And the reasons and need, and the risks of not having them are very clear. But you have millions being put into models without these pre-requisites, and being sold to people as sol

Wow, these guys really did not give a damn about informants. That is some high school level amateur work. Sequential ips, password field, I wonder if they even used ssl. If they did, likely some US affiliated vendor.

The nature of criminal hackers is not to care about this. If it has value (financial or ideological) they will target it. Often the point is to send a message. I’m not sure they care not to attack the red cross. Also, cybercrime is one way

This makes me conflicted. On one hand, if a law written by ai is passed on its merits, then it should not matter, and in this case it looks like it was. On the other hand, the opportunity for abuse, where one can write copious amounts of la

Problem with being a generalist is once you're on a role and you over perform, people think you're a specialist. They don't think to ask, what else can they do? So you have to market yourself and keep looking for ways to spre

At some point their engineers are just better. I've been part of teams where every one was highly skilled, maybe a few juniors. And teams where everyone was junior and because they were very skilled on one specific thing, they assumed

They likely knew if this was not a surprise, they would have been blocked from doing it by political maneuvering.

This seems like a disingenuous comment. No one wants a vendor to be unprofitable. Sometimes a business is extremely profitable but just wants more profit, and then after they reach that profit, they want more. The problem is vendors want ev

This likely won’t fly bc I think the definition of AGI is not subject to the opinion of a single company. Microsoft could take this to court and win.

Since the beginning of OpenAI, haven't we been slowly surprised by the progressive closedness what it was becoming. I think there were multiple threads on HN about this, and the irony in the name. Maybe this has been going on for much

I feel compelled to agree with this. I have no issues with OpenAI as it was under Sam, but they did build OpenAI as a nonprofit, and then made it a for profit to further that goal. Assuming VC culture took over, when would it be ok to reign
