At the end of the day, it doesn't really get you that much if you get 70% of the way there on your initial prompt (which you probably spent some time discussing, thinking through, clarifying requirements on). Paid, deliverable work i

Most text worth paying for (code, contracts, research) requires: - accountability - reliability - validation - security - liability Humans can reliably produce text with all of these features. LLMs can reliably produce text with none of the

I've only experienced de-motivation from managers, personally. At least for me, motivation comes from ownership, impact, autonomy, respect. You can cause me to lose motivation in a lot of ways, but you can't really cause me to gai

Sorry to be pedantic, but there are a bunch of non-ASCII characters (,↑,) in the mockups and the article contains a lot of AI tropes.

I have never once seen extraordinary claims of AI wins accompanied by code and prompts.

That one's my favorite. You can't defend against it, it just shuts down the conversation. Odds are, you aren't doing it wrong. These people are usually suffering from Dunning Kruger at best, or they're paid shills/b

This is not always the case, but I get the impression that many of them are paid shills, astroturf accounts, bots, etc. Including on HN. Big AI is running on an absurd amount of capital and they're definitely using that capital to keep

I was surprised to learn that I am not even remotely close to being a hacker as I knew about maybe 10% of the references here.

Yeah I think my original comment was a bit overstated. I think it would have been more accurate to say Windows would die for the consumer desktop market.

That's the pitch, yeah. If you're happy to use the OS in the specific way Apple thinks you should, it's okay.

If/when support for Linux gaming becomes widespread and easy to navigate with few configuration hurdles, Windows will die very quickly. As for MacOS, I genuinely can't wrap my head around why anyone who is technically competent wo

I quit gaming a year ago and no longer have a consumer OS installed on any machine. I can't imagine ever willingly going back after getting used to being able to set my machine up any way I want, and know it will work exactly as I&#x27

Honestly, I respect the commitment. It's almost certainly a bad decision, but a founder that can turn down a 9 figure exit at the tail end of a tech bubble he's right in the middle of, has a good chance at having the right mindset

RE 2: It's not that far down the road either. Laziliy reviewed or unreviewed LLM code rapidly turns your codebase into an absolute mess that LLMs can't maintain either. Very quickly you find yourself with lots of redundant code an

There are hundreds of thousands of documents being reviewed by probably a thousand or more FBI agents. There is zero chance they are all loyalists.

Don’t take my word for it, but you might want to consider some of these notable organizations that have identified it as a genocide: Amnesty International Human Rights Watch International Association of Genocide Scholars UN Human Rights Off

Using a religion-specific hate-crime metric to argue about hate crimes in general is not valid inference. It’s a case of category substitution amplified by base-rate neglect, and is misleading even if every quoted number is technically true

Wait so the children of Gaza started a losing war and therefore must be genocided?

by jimbo808 10mo ago
I see it now, you said that in a different comment which wasn’t the one I replied to. My bad for not noticing. Still, restricting it to “religious-based” hate crimes is transparently misleading. Using a statistic from a narrow category to i

Switched the denominator? So you were specifically talking about religious-based hate crimes? Why were you talking about that very specific subset, and why wouldn’t you mention that or imply it anywhere in your comment? You wouldn’t be… a l

First of all, that’s not true. Your statistic is probably based on one that indicates Jews account for 69% of religious-based hate crimes, while being 2% of the population. That’s about 35 times more likely if religious-motivated hate crim

Do you include the deaths in Gaza in the hate crime statistic?

The title of this article leads with "Jewish, Pro-Israel MIT Professor..." so I think they've already decided to go with the "victim of antisemitism" default until proven otherwise.
