I wonder if I got a license plate holder that said 'I do not consent to selling my position information' if I could sue them.

Get vaccinated. Stay healthy. Science works.

Yeah. The keys here are 'easy' and 'I can play with it at home first'. Let's be honest, being able to throw together a bunch of old dead boxes and put proxmox on them in a weekend is a game changer for a learning cu

I hope this is a signal that a third cloud option, BYOC (build your own cloud), is finally becoming practical. Yes, the physical management of racks is a massive part of managing a cloud but the software stack is honestly why AWS and the li

I hear the cries of a thousand people in marketing right now. Building a brand takes time. I could see this if they were thinking they needed to re-invent the brand and to help with that they were strategically taking a break but that seems

I am a huge believer in AI, but the build-out right now, justified or not, will definitely hit a slowdown at some point. Not being diverse in their customer base could really hurt them later on. Sometimes you keep something going for tomorr

Donations are never free. And mentioning children, freedom or safety with any donation instantly makes me question it even more.

Philanthropy at the personal level is good. People need to interact with their city and know their neighbors and their issues. Mega donations at the national level are really just end-runs around our democracy. We need to figure it out as a

I have a discussion with my mother often. I tell her to keep a reasonable buffer of money in her bank account and then spend every single $ beyond that. Why? Because when she hits end of life, or even before then when she hits any number of

I recently read 'The Cartographers' by Peng Shepherd. If you like this article and want to read a fun murder mystery about things hidden in maps then that is definitely the book for you. (No relation to the author here, I just lik

I won't mince words. This is criminal and should be dealt with that way. It is obvious I don't want my information collected and sold. I make it clear every reasonable chance I get. This goes beyond abuse of my privacy, this is di

I wonder if there is the possibility of a technique here to extract the heat by using something that does expand like pumped CO2 instead of water to steam? It is great they are using it for storage though. The more options the grid has for

This is why having a safety net and resources to try again is so powerful. Given enough chances you will make it, big. That means the #1 factor in success is the number of chances you get to fail and try again, not necessarily how inherentl

I haven't read that regulation, but the way you describe it makes me immediately think of cookie banners. Everything is pretty quickly getting 'ai' in it. If the definition just narrows down to LLMs, even there we have big qu

I have no idea who/when/where the 'original' idea came from. I stumbled on it when I was thinking about history and trying to tell how languages or artifacts influenced one another. I remember reading (don't know wh

This is not the article's topic, but the title immediately made me think of a cool data technique where you trace noise backwards to determine causality. If a -> b then the noise in a should be in b.

I believe that the right regulation makes a difference, but I honestly don't know what that looks like for AI. LLMs are so easy to build/use and that trend is accelerating. The idea of regulating AI is quickly becoming like the id

This honestly isn't a discussion about governmental systems. The US and 'western nations' have built big things and pushed for big things many times in the past and can do it again. We pump trillions in subsidies and direct f

Seems like there is a lot of dislike of this comment but not a lot of discussion about. Is it not true that china is dominating here? Or that this is becoming the norm? Isn't the instant negative reaction to this comment the exact prob

How much of current GPU and TPU design is based around attn's bandwith hungry design? The article makes it seem like TPUs aren't very flexible so big model architecture changes, like new architectures that don't use attn, may

I think some of it may be that everything is too big now and they all have too many options they can, relatively, easily take. When special effects became easy every movie turned into an action movie. Special effects are everywhere creating

We need more diversity in this space. The fundamental UI experience, and environment hooks, aren't set in stone so we need many players, open and closed, to more fully explore this space.

I really need a tool that switches my actual hn bookmark to this 50% of the time. I don't know if I love this or hate this because it is so good. Thanks?

We just need simple language syntax like python and for models to be trained on it (which they already mostly are): class MyClass(SomeOtherClass): def my_func(a:str, b:int) -> int: #Put the description (if needed) in the body f

The Programmatic Tool Calling has been an obvious next step for a while. It is clear we are heading towards code as a language for LLMs so defining that language is very important. But I'm not convinced of tool search. Good context eng

One thing I didn't see mentioned is raw token gen speed compared to the alternatives. I am using Haiku 4.5 because it is cheap (and so am I) but also because it is fast. Speed is pretty high up in my list of coding assistant features a

True freedom, of any kind, requires freedom to say things and think things in private. I sometimes think horrible things and even discuss them with my friends. I need that space to work out issues. Without a truly safe space I would eventua

That is totally not true. They can be forced to install an app on their device that creates the backdoors. Companies do that all the time. An OS doesn't need to have backdoors built into it for backdoors to be added to it. Kinda the po
