It's a big world, not everyone needs to be a farmer/doctor/psychologist so some people who have other skills do other things. Sometimes those other things help. A lot of time they don't. For better or worse we live in a

Everyone works in their own unique way! I think a big part of the promise of this sort of AI is that it can tailor itself to what you need :)

All week I've seen basically two dominant takes about how AI is going to impact creative work in the future (three if you count "generative AI is a fad with no value," which I do not): (1) It's going to take people'

This feels like a good point. I am curious how the "feeding" would occur here. If there's an API to do this sort of thing right now I'm not aware of it. But I definitely believe that it's coming!

Having a high say-do ratio has always been important to me I've never encountered this idea, but as soon I read it I suddenly see it everywhere. My roommate who tells me he'll clean the kitchen then doesn't; my cousin

The "writers" who can benefit from AI are not artists. They might be bloggers or journalists or researchers. But there is no way that a generative AI can produce, say, your memoir for you. How could it? You have to say what happ

I think it’s truly awesome that we have a Planetary Defense Coordination Office.

From the blog post: "A minority of the problems in the exams were seen by the model during training, but we believe the results to be representative—see our technical report for details." They have a chart where they broke out res

I think if you've never left the USA you would obviously think that there was some sort of conspiracy to install fake elevator door close buttons, since there is absolutely no feedback in the system that would help an uninformed layper

It is for Walmarts only per the info page. There must be a way to scrape that from their online grocery shopping website even without an api.

It is definitely achievable but the course of action would be different for you depending who you are. An unreliable sex fiend needs to make different changes than an anxious shy person. Communication is important for everyone though, and a

Western mass here, still can't understand the appeal of "classic" tenpin bowling. I feel like I'm a reasonably strong guy and throwing the giant ball for a night kills my arm every time, never mind that it's impossi

I grew up around woods with a father who's super sensitive to PI. I thought he taught me how to identify it. Turns out I didn't learn very well—this quiz was very humbling.

I am so so so glad to see this article because I feel like I'm a crazy person for seeing this everywhere in my life and not hearing anyone else complain about it. I feel like I'm constantly cleaning up the mistakes of huge corpo

This is one where I KNOW I do it wrong. The dentist prescribed me a hardcore sensitivity toothpaste for an issue, but emphasized that it will only work if I don't rinse after brushing. But... I just can't not rinse after 30 years

Perhaps you kid, but this would be an astounding achievement and I struggle to see the actual downsides other than perhaps prohibitive cost.

Unionization is the correct response here. The incentives of company leaders simply don't account for workers' desire to not lose their jobs. The only way to change this is for workers to change said incentives--by organizing. Of

A lot of dunking going on in here, and fairly so, if nothing else because there is no good business model for an app like this unless they build it into dating apps (who's going to manually enter data from Tinder into this thing?). But

Meta: I find it weird how many HN posts have no connection to either hacking or news, and yet are so tonally perfect for the audience here, and for me personally. I’m thinking specifically of obscure/weird Wikipedia pages and pop histo

For those viewing the comments before the article, be advised that it is not the case—as my not-yet-awake brain first thought on parsing this headline—that the software system belonging to the Guinness World Records is the oldest in continu

I appreciate this extra insight on the PhD situation and generally agree with your points. I don’t necessarily agree that we (Americans) should worry about those figures. If you believe talent is more or less equally distributed worldwide,

It may surprise you to learn that I know the technical meaning of “begging the question” and have used it correctly. That is, the article argues (roughly) “ADHD is caused by internet,” which begs the question: why doesn’t everyone with int

This data is certainly stark, but I don’t see how it follows from test scores in Michigan that China is going to do something or other regarding STEM. I guess the core assumption here is that Asian students in America are a proxy for Chines
