If watermarking of any kind were actually going to prevent ai-generated “fraud” (or even ai being used as part of a scam), it would have more support on HN. This kind of metadata injection increases surveillance without providing a meaningf

The post is unambiguous if you make it to the very end, where there are particular statements from each of the people involved. Look for: > Klaus Wertenbroch […] indicated that he has asked the editor to retract the paper.

Per the post, the original authors have requested that the original paper be retracted. That’s well above the bar of “not doing much”.

If you say so. Saying most tenured faculty at research 1 institutions are mediocre seems to be stretching the definition, though.

There’s a long way between perfectly functioning and dementia. I want to say that I hope you never find out, but the twilight of life is tough either way.

My reading is that this is entirely Go’s fault. In Go, there was a union of two different types without metadata to distinguish the two. The disambiguation was done by looking to see if the data looked like a certain pointer. I think the re

How could they control other hardware models? This is just one company. If other hardware is better and they don’t provide access to it, won’t people just leave HF?? Is this somehow more of a monopoly than I am imagining?

They know who you are and where you work… how hard could it be to enforce rules? Wait, what’s getting enforced here, anyway? They are getting a new visa, no? I don’t believe this rationale at all.

I am confident that my job cannot be outsourced to China, but I still worry a lot about outsourcing everything else in my life. I recognize that my neighbors could easily lose their jobs to the same forces that are causing me to buy a Bambu

Haskell’s hard to interpret error messages alone disqualify it from being a beginner language. Python: errors based on incorrect indentation (many beginners don’t use nice IDEs), or don’t understand the meaning of the hints) and scope (don’

Your quote shows someone BELOW the line being able to do something. That could not be considered amplification because multiplying a skill of 0 doesn’t get you anywhere. But if you want to see it that way, it doesn’t bother me. The Tao refe

Clearly not, IMO. The GP poster is someone who is familiar with the problems caused by AI writing code. For example: reimplementing major functionality because the AI isn’t aware of it (somehow). There are many tasks that domain-specific kn

Much as I am a fan of Racket, this is not a friendly intro. It is a speedrun. When an introduction says “friendly”, I don’t expect it to assume that I know what lambda is. When an introduction says “friendly”, I don’t expect syntax rules to

Disagree. Leadership matters. A different leader could take the country in a different direction - with the same voting base. Eg an actual policy of isolationism instead of instigating multiple foreign conflicts.

Again, you need to deal with people gaming the system - claiming they were hired in order to boost credibility ranking of the company (or site). When there’s a benefit to the site and the employer, that’s two potential sources of corruption
