I recently had to deal with a ministry in Canada, where a worker who had been there since 20 years ago failed even a basic test of competence in reading comprehension. Then multiple issues with the OPC (Office of Privacy Commissioner) faili

This is a definition of spam, not the only definition of spam. In Canada, which is relevant here, the legal definition of spam requires no bulk. Any company sending an unsolicited email to a person (where permission doesn't exist) is s

I think the point being made is that the graphs don't show real world applications progress. Being 99.9999999% or 0.000001% of the way to a useful application could be argued as no progress given the stated metric. Is there a guarantee

Thank you for your post, it's more elegant than my explanation and makes good arguments. Sometimes I question my sanity these days when my (internally) valid thoughts seem to swoosh by externally.

People generally don't actually care about accessibility and it shows, everywhere. There is obvious and glaring accessibility gains from LLMs that are entirely lost with the stigma.

by iinnPP 10mo ago
Yes, framed as you stated it is indeed a win-win. However, there will be cases where lacking the LLM output, there isn't any output at all. Creating a stigma over technology which is easily observed as being, in some form, accessible i

I prefer reading the LLM output for accessibility reasons. More importantly though, the sheer amount of this complaint on HN has become a great reason not to show up.

This happens at Walmart Canada all the time. The policy there is to slash 10$ off shelf price (or free for anything 10 or less). Since COVID, Walmart has stopped having immediate fixes of the problem. Since 2020, I have accumulated about $1

It's possible to live on social assistance and build 3D models and offer them for free. So willpower seems more relevant than wealth.

Let's not forget mystery boxes for real toys and things like mini brands. Though I am not outspoken about it, I think individuals need to come to terms with telling themselves no. Otherwise we need to outlaw everything bad and open to

Things that cease to be surprising can also cease being important. Which is made clear reading the remainder of the post. It's my take as well, frankly.

This service problem is fixed like most media-related service problems. Sailing. MPC has the ability to normalize volume in a video automatically.

It's generalized to any grouping. Having written laws means nothing when they are not equally enforced. Which is the norm in the West. For example: Intentional wage theft.

Could it be that you're not in a high functioning society, rather than the point being invalid?

For sure, it's meant to go a bit too far I guess. I'll be more real. This is to allow companies to make entirely fictitious statements that they will state satisfies their interpretation. The lack of fines will suggest compliance.

If I had a requirement to either do something I didn't want to do or pay a nickel, I'd just fake doing what needed to be done and wait for the regulatory body to fine me 28 years later after I exhausted my appeal chain. Luckily, i

Whenever the solution involves needing other people to act together at an expense (time in this case), you run into problems. People(many) care up until it's not only words anymore.

They can't fine at the OPC, they can't even force action. Though sometimes that is a good thing as it opened up some room for class actions, in Ontario at least.

Not everywhere. Even when it's allowed it can result in shadow bans. Seems a whole lot easier to self-censor everywhere than to track who gives value to the word f**.

The problem with expertise is anyone can be an expert. I would challenge the integrity of anyone claiming any field has precisely zero idiots.

That is indeed a great solution that will never happen.

It's not achievable because you have something like 5.3 people in the middle wtfing in all directions.

I'm sure you can be unconsciously intent on things, but gaslighting is a unique concept. Here's the definition I am relying on: manipulate (someone) using psychological methods into questioning their own sanity or powers of reason

It's impossible to gaslight yourself as it requires intention.

Not wasting time on someone else's process isn't being anything negative. Expecting other people's time for free is indeed being an arse.

You'll find that people "stop caring" about just about anything when it starts to impact them. Personally, I agree with your statement. Since a main argument is seemingly that AI is worse, let's remember that AI is query
