Well, I think the tide of LLM flotsam inundating the submissions makes HN a worse place. So I'll keep on complaining, and you can downvote me about it.

I don't believe either of those two companies have ever been profitable. (I'm sure Musk has some accounting tricks to make it look that way, though.)

You'd think, and yet, they happily slapped the Harvard BHI name on something that doesn't do what it says on the tin. I think ignorance is preferable to deliberate deception, so I assumed ignorance.

If 30% of adults in your country suddenly lose, say, half their wealth from a stock market crash, it's going to affect everyone in the country - not just the investors. To use an example, the Great Depression wasn't sunshine and r

As far as I can tell, this is a site for an LLM to vomit out the same basic article with different specific products each time.

I'm a different person (or at least, user account) than the other one you were talking to. So I suppose they could be AI.

I think this might be a case of "speak for yourself." Plenty of people don't want to support fascists.

You can also hit "print" and get a nicely formatted, single page list of ingredients and recipe.

Did you tell Claude "make an agent instructor skill, whatever you think is good, go for it," or did you use the knowledge you had gained about how AI works and how to write good instructions for it?

The article mentions that she was given an immunosuppressant (prednisone), but that a more comprehensive course of immunouppressants could have been given.

If you really feel this way, get some therapy. The only one ruining your life is you.

I hear this meme sometimes, that anti-vaxxers and others "prefer a dead child to an autistic one," and I think it fundamentally doesn't represent their thought process at all. The far-more common sentiment that I see among an

What? LLMs are perhaps the least bandwidth-constrained thing you can do over the network. If you run a local model at a good pace, you're emitting tokens at, what, 60 tokens/sec? That's, very roughly, 300 bytes/sec. You

And not all of the noise is generated inside the datacenter, especially those with onsite turbines.

Very cool, thanks.

That's fair, I just figure there are useful scenarios as well. Apologies if I came off as dismissive!

What sort of setups do people have that are bounded by the speed of the tokenizer?

I actually had the opposite reaction - the AI image looked grotesque, and the the real food was like "oh damn this looks like good food."

The text is low quality because it is un-proofread LLM output.

Presumably they were worried about misclassified images, or images sent by other kids.

Article is AI-written.

LLM-written text tends to have the property that it gives the impression of expertise and knowledge in excess of what the text actually contains. In other words, it "sounds smart" without necessarily having anything to back it up.

They are, and they'll also see a random reddit comment in their web search and treat it as fact.

I agree that it's nonsense. Maybe this will be a wakeup call that the US cannot be assumed to be a responsible steward.

I don't see the disconnect you do - they are voting for white Christian men to protect white Christian men. The rape and adultery was hurting women (or gay guys).

If you want to keep the domain name you got from a TLD that they control, yes. Or did you mean, like, morally?

I'd argue that it's this same pattern-seeking drive that undergirds science. "Zeus sends the lightning, his wrath darkening the very sky," is an understandable model that connects "dark storm clouds" to a likel

Yeah, it's a little bonkers. I've run into it a few times IRL, and I find that it tends to come from the kind of guy mocked in this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/793/ That is, somebody who is basically unfamiliar w

Oh that's easy: they outsource design to the LLM, which doesn't have eyeballs.

Okay, you can scroll back up and see that the thread is about the erosion of checks and balances. After that, you can do a web search to read either about the Clinton administration's increased partisan direction of federal agencies, o
