No there absolutely are protesters who are rightfully arrested, but the cost to prosecute is not worth it to the DA so they drop the case. Protesters really like to be in this grey area of legality so that you can write articles like this.

That's typical when people get arrested for protesting and interfering with police. I'm sorry but this is not news.

I think I will trust the Supreme Court to define the "strict bounds of the law" over HN user SR2Z.

The guy's entire career was founded on screwing over and lying to multiple business partners. He's such a fraud that they made a whole movie about it. Why would anyone trust this guy?

To me, this focus on the casual, conversational user is a sign that the AI doom scenario where they're replacing everyone with AI, is clearly not on the horizon. I would expect them to be fully tunnel visioned on that goal if it was ac

I don't want to detract from his numerous accomplishments, but I feel that he has Nobel disease [1] when it comes to the topic of AGI/machine consciousness and the trajectory of AI progress. He isn't a neuroscientist, and the

This is lawyers buying the hype that LLMs are actually intelligent and capable of autonomous decision making.

So you are doing steroids (not TRT)? You may look and feel 20 years younger, it's probably a different story for the most important muscle in your body (the heart). If you're benching 405 (holy shit, btw), at 200lbs, that tells me

You won't really know if this is working out until it doesn't work out. I'm not sure what all you can do yourself, but doctors generally won't do unnecessary tests because there is a real cost-benefit analysis that must

My Dad passed away two years ago, and for a time I thought it would be nice to have an AI of him just to hear his voice again, but then I realized that the reason I'd want that is because I don't have really any video or audio of

There's never been a better time to switch to Linux. For the longest time I was using Windows on my personal machine (for gaming), and MacOS for work. Not sure why, but one day I decided to try out dual booting Kubuntu (KDE Plasma + Ub

They are pushing for us to use AI and expecting huge productivity gains based on the promises of the AI hype men. Sanity checks unfortunately eat away most if not all of those productivity gains, so I feel like most people are being put bet

I genuinely tried to embrace them, but I have found these AI "enhancements" to be utterly useless. Very rare that they can answer the question I'm having about the product. I'm not sure what the norms are for how these a

Been strange to watch this guy get so rich off of a car company that is somehow worth $1.4 trillion, but had $97 billion in revenue last year, and only sold 1.7 million cars. P/E of 266. For comparison: Toyota's market cap is $304

I mean, they botched one piece of software in order to retrofit an old plane with catastrophic results. God knows what the Wall Street zombie version of Boeing will do with a whole new plane, especially in the age of AI enshittification.

This conflates mathematical existence with actual instantiation. A 2gb integer might be definable, but until someone encodes a particular arrangement of bits and gives it context, it doesn’t exist in any practical sense. We don’t treat all

There is still a demand for these tools. I know they are useful to me. Do they make me more productive as a software engineer? Probably not, at least not significantly. But they're still useful, especially for little tools and one-off

I don't think they care what N is, they are just scapegoating a vile group they know will have no defenders, and they can use it to silence the critics by associating them with that group.

The thing that is crazy to me is that they choose to go after Signal of all things. Certainly there would be higher priority targets than a messaging app that has no social networking features to speak of, if child predators were really the

That's a fairly bad example. They don't have any trouble taking unrelated things and sticking them together. A world model isn't required for you to take two unrelated things and stick them together. If I ask it to put a frog

The point of me sharing the video was to use the full glass of wine as an example for how generative AI models doing inference lack a true world model. The example was just as relevant now as it was then, and it applies to inference being

15 years ago they said truck drivers would be obsolete in 1-2 years. They are still not obsolete, and they aren't on track to be any time soon, either.

I didn't say brains and ANNs are the same, in fact I am making quite the opposite argument here. LLMs exhibit these biases and fallacies because they regurgitate the biases and fallacies that were written by the humans that produced th
