Recently wanted to watch Troy and could not find it for streaming anywhere, nor a pay-to-rent on the streaming platforms like youtube. You can "buy" it but as we've learned recently these companies don't really let you o

> companies that spent so much on AI that they needed to fire people to make their short-term numbers not break The observation that AI layoffs would be self-fulfilling prophecy is one I haven't heard before but I'm inclined to

This is so true. I'm not one of these people that think AI is not going to be revolutionary eventually, but the way I see upper management acting is basically exactly as you say. As a threat to discipline better labor.

With a little practice you too can write a short essay on an interesting topic while not actually saying anything meaningful or useful!

I probably don't have as strong an opinion as some others but there is a whole genre of blog posts out there with a contrarian take that people just won't believe because they are informed by their own experience and observations.

I agree that Goodhart's law doesn't really apply to well designed tests.

But what's the rationale in removing advanced math or objective measures of talent such as SAT tests?

Currently the way I detect AI when I read something is that I start to notice a fuzzy confused behind my eyeballs, or The words and concepts seem unusually disconnected and meaningless in a hard-to-describe way. Then I squint a little harde

Currently having a big issue in some of our data pipelines because a lazy engineer vibe coded a bunch of slop that doesn't make much sense and the AI can't help. Looking like we're going to need to scrap all the code and star

Similar and even more relevant to HN is when I ask an engineer to fix something, complete a task, document something, etc. and it's clear the work was done with AI in the wrong way . A 60 line PR that should be 4 lines, an overly verb

And notably, these are still all problems even if the AI is perfect in its response in every way.

The thing that helped me is "smell training". At random moments throughout the day try and sniff things that are just beyond your ability to smell. When I was fully in covid I could just barely perceive some sensation when stick

by indoordin0saur 5mo ago
Covid caused nerve damage in the nose in the sensory glands where smell is perceived. Good news is that lots of viruses do this so the body has evolved to regrow these nerves.

I remember this happened to me after catching covid very early. Wasn't sick beyond a flu, but it knocked my sense of smell and taste out completely for about a month. Once it started to recover it came back quick but it was a very wo

Certain markets are highly competitive for labor. A good example is software engineering. In those cases, because neither the corporation has a monopoly on their tech products nor does a union have a monopoly on labor the sector can be high

I'm generally pro-union and certainly fair wage, but it's important to keep in mind that unions will grow into their own power centers and have leadership with its own internal goals which are not aligned with either their working

Random fact that I learned recently but I find it interesting: the create of MTG is a direct descendant of a US President. President James Garfield was his great-great grandfather.

Wow, read the article and it's just clickbait. Reads like AI was heavily used as well. Did this publication get bought out? I seem to remember it being a good source in the past.

The article specifically mentions medical treatments.

No. Just some trees that produce pollen aren't particularly allergenic.

by indoordin0saur 5mo ago
Some trees pollen causes allergies, other tree pollen does not. Peanuts frequently produce allergic reactions, macadamia nuts rarely do.

It's even farther along than you think. It's the one writing the comments you're responding to. So why are you still thinking up and typing out your HN comments?

Write your code by hand, but AI still serves as something of a stack overflow and code completion tool. Also good for writing tedious things like regex or little one-off utility scripts as well as a first crack at unit tests. Using it to ac

I've actually found it to be very good, as good as the other big models. Which version did you most recently use and for what purpose?

Went there in 2012 and then again last year. It's wild how quickly it's changed. IMO, Japan is a very special place and it's sad to see that it's having the same problems as the rest of the first world.

On this Instagram is far worse than X. Yeah, their suggested content rarely is the sort of thing that offends delicate sensibilities, but it is generally irrelevant slop and Meta always seems to be conspiring to trap you in it, giving you f

The current electronic frontier is AI and X is the place where high level AI researchers, developers, influencers and users converse. IDK where else has more of the intellectual discourse on AI. Definitely not the likes of instagram or Ti

Those concerns have evolved away from their original mission. Not an unusual situation for organizations like this as a they shrink and lose relevance.

So basically we don't have full self driving, not because it doesn't work but because the regulators haven't approved it yet? Seems a little misleading to claim this is some failure on the part of Tesla's technology
