I think letting certain software thrive which just blatantly disregards your own certification and validation processes is exactly Windows problem. Some developer(s) paid 600$ and emailed their passport to Microsoft affiliates to get rid of

I'm a Macbook user, but I often have screen sharing experiences with people using Windows laptops, god, it's painful watching them. Brand new, solid book with decent specs, only used for few months and everything is visibly very s

Lack of will is a lack of purpose, and the purpose of these companies is profit, easy to follow.

Let’s be honest: neither Apple needs $18 billion a year, nor does Mozilla need $450 million annually to develop a web browser. Microsoft or Apple could afford 100 lives of browser development without a Google penny. And Mozilla corp was alr

A lithium-ion battery cell for a smartphone costs the device OEM somewhere between $2 to $4 ($0.10/Wh is todays rate?). Are we seriously discussing how fast charging can lead to 1.6% degradation of 2-4$ every 100 days? Maybe it's

Neuromorphic chips are looking cool, they simulate plasticity — but the circuits are fixed. You can’t sprout a new synaptic route or regrow a broken connection. To self-rewire is not just merely changing your internal state or connections.

1. Computers cannot self-rewire like neurons, which means human can pretty much adapt for doing any specific mental task (an "unknown", new task) without explicit retraining , which current computers need to learn something

BTW Planes are fully inspired by birds and they mimic the core principles of the bird flight. Mechanically it's different since humans are not such advanced mechanics as nature, but of course comparing the whole brain function to a sim

Regulators would never comprehend internet. They are making it look like they have no idea that on the internet you can: move to another country without visa in 2 minutes, change your face, voice, fingerprints to whatever you like. Get any

Wrong, social network is centered around the concept of "you" and your "friends", where the content itself is not as important. There is no concept of "friends" on a forum like HN, since people purely gather to

This is frankly very cool and hypnotising to look at. I'd love to see more real-life data maps; anything else like this for London? Imagine layering this, 3D buildings, live weather, street lighting, traffic, and even live business dat

EECS is programming? Look for remote jobs all around the world instead of just applying locally, that increases the chances a lot. A lot of companies are doing the same thing to get cheaper workers all the time.

Of course we do! Imagine search engine taking 10¢ for every search query you enter, what a ridiculous replacement.

By that logic, we would have to ban cars, gas stoves and even kitchen knives. Everything has risks — its about managing them. Lithium ion batteries are widely used because their benefits outweight the risks when handled properly. Its like s

How do you guys know if the batteries will catch fire at all? Maybe the guy is lucky and for the next 50 years they won't?

You didn't get it. The image contains ALL compression artifacts from different algorithms mashed up in a single picture, the JPEG is just prevalent.

If we're calling out names, what about Roger Penrose, John Searle, Stuart Hameroff, Hubert Dreyfus, Henry Stapp? These are very intelligent people and I suggest to get acquainted with their work. Neural scaling laws are real and no mat

I was trying to say that LLMs will not become more than what they are, especially since they are tools for profit in the modern system. It’s like an iPhone — the latest iPhone 16 Pro is, of course, better than the iPhone 3G, but conceptuall

Im not saying LLMs are not impressive or useful — Im pointing out that corporations behind commercial AI models are capitalising on our emotional response to natural language prediction. This phenomenon isnt new – Weizenbaum observed it 60

No major company directly states "We have created human-like intelligence," they intentionally use suggestive language that leads people to think AI is approaching human cognition. This helps with hype, investment, and PR. >I&#

The problem Sabine tries to communicate is that reality is different from what the cash-heads behind main commercial models are trying to portray. They push the narrative that they’ve created something akin to human cognition, when in reali

Everyone here got so political and it's a shame nobody is discussing counter-measures available. Sound is one of the easiest forms of energy to manipulate, it is easily absorbed, reflected and reverberated. Because these systems exploi

It is very possible to juggle around with the opinions of "vast majority" like apples. Vast majority will always support the thing which a delicate minority will push into their throats via media.
