According to Gemini, radiation related cancer rates aren't higher in high elevation cities like Quito or La Paz... Shouldn't they be too? Airliners fly a lot higher but people live in these 24x7.

Japan has an even more severe debt problem than the US, with a rapidly aging and declining population making it a much tougher hurdle to overcome.

This person is very talented but that chair looks super uncomfortable. Resting you arms on those thin armrests will hurt within seconds. But that's exactly the type of furniture my mom loves :)

The very first paragraph is fascinating: "Several AI companies are acquiring large quantities of secondhand books through intermediaries, scanning and destroying them, all to obtain training data “untouched by machines” from before 202

I think the world has bigger problems than Lady Gaga's Oreos. That said, why not say "Stop Eating Oreos" altogether? Although they are certainly yummy, the sugar in them is a lot worse for people than Lady Gaga's associa

In a sense, this is very anti-Marxism. The amount of work put into anything isn't necessarily linked to their value. I can spend my whole life digging holes and achieve nothing. But the story makes me sad. While I don't feel too b

Is formal (aka "mathematical") logic part of mathematics? Now that's a philosophical question. From my perspective, I feel you restated what I said with the opposite conclusion. You say that axioms "defines" mathema

I think Hardy would be very much on the same page with me, as well as Godel and many others. Mathematical truths exist independently from our feelings and processes to discover them. People do and should argue about which truths are interes

Math isn't "cooperative". Math is about truths. The length of circumference. The area of a triangle. The formulas for these are true in an objective sense irrespective of whether you understand them. That said, without unders

Terence Tao sees a role for AI in science. I'm no genius but he basically described what I've thought all along... We don't need to be "all in" or "all out". It's the old cliche of "if you only h

I don't like Meta but there's some clever engineering here. Good job! If this had been released by a Chinese Lab, HN would be saying that the US had been surpassed in innovation. But since this is Meta, we just get the same old an

These mixed sci-fi/reality sensationalist Skynet writeups aren't very convincing. However, I agree it's quite possible we could see an AI being left "free to roam" in an environment with poor security doing a lot

My dad still called it "Winchester" well into the 80s. I remember when we got our first "Winchester", a 20MB hard drive.

While so many are complaining about AI on HN, an absolute master of his field is using it without any self-doubt or negativity. Just getting stuff done better and faster while remaining at the top.

I don't feel this way at all - and I'm in my late 40s. I'm excited about the future of technology, not only because of AI but also other opportunities next-gen GPUs and new power-efficient processors bring. RISC V. Cheap PCB

Incredible photos. First thing that came to my mind was an awareness of the contrast between "the full breadth of humanity experience" vs "Silicon Valley's view of humanity". I don't know if that makes sense, b

Maybe so, but least for me in my personal coding projects, I'm going through my own task list noticeably faster. I had created this list before getting a ChatGPT Pro subscription and the number of bugs found in AI reviews and rate of

Not disagreeing with you, but adding to my argument. Despite the human handholding, I feel that 3 years would have been enough for 18 months of thinking about the product plus 18 months where a team could get 3-5 years worth of coding/

I love these little calculators. How amazing it would be if we could carry a text-only local model with no network access in this format? Kind of like a pocket companion. Not too different from a phone, but a lot cooler nonetheless (with mu

One thing Dario said is important reflecting on (but from another angle): where's the big deliverable from AI? If AI makes us 10x more productive, the 3 years since its popularization were enough for a product that would have taken 30

Stepping back from AI completely (vs changing how AI is used in the company) is like stopping using IDEs, compilers etc. It's a tool . I don't understand why people would even entertain that. They are completely fine using random

I rarely ever want to search . Searching is a means to an end, which is finding a piece of information, an answer. Whenever I'm scrolling through sites on Google Search, I'm just wasting my time filtering out misses. With Gemini

Because they couldn't do the onboarding process with my phone, the OTA features never worked. Maybe the car still thinks it's sitting on the dealer or something. The free 1 year subscription that everybody gets also never started.

Last time I bought a car the dealer couldn't enable the Internet features because I said my phone was broken. He looked at me puzzled but I said I could buy the car some other day if that was a problem... A dealer will never let a buyi

My 15 year old said the same things in a few paragraphs. But then, he doesn't have the friends from having worked with Sam Bankman-Fried.
