I use ChatGPT4 privately as some sort of "ask monty python". Like, how many chicken, all simultaneously fed with neutron star matter in the form of rice grains, would it take to melt the whole moon etc. Mostly it's kind of ri

Account security. Please just stop, please. Can't anybody from within MS do something against this newspeak?

Energy doesn't come from nowhere. It comes either from the sun, from nuclear fuel, or from fossil fuels being burned. If it's not one of those three, we have a nobel prize winner. So, it probably comes from the sun¹. The sun didn

Wow, that's the most misogynist (non-flagged) piece I ever read on HN.

Well, I'd politely agree to disagree. Google scale is defined by novel, radical approaches, like for example inventing map/reduce, writing papers on LLMs others then implement successfully, or creating something like Kubernetes. T

Fair enough and thanks for the reply. Still, for anything bothering engineers more than a bit repeatedly, anyone will write tools to remove the manual burden. Our internal practice is to delete code if you suspect it's unused, run test

Sincere quesion: what is interesting or novel about this? Is it just the scale or did I miss some subtle aspect? This is more (or less?) the same as industry best practices, just scaled up. There is a challenge in scaling up, as there is mo

How did you discover HN? Genuinely interested, because your comment seems to be quite the opposite of what I expect here.

I don't understand a quite relevant aspect in this kind of topic: if AI regulates us, it should be caused by superior intelligence of the respective AI¹. In that case it would be better for us if it regulates us. It may be disturbing o

Thank you. It's really getting hard not to feel collectively ashamed how low the propaganda bar has dropped. Next step will be that passports of russian attackers are found¹. 1 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/

It is so well known that it's common to automatically skip content from within the EU. It's usually low-quality fund-farming subpar filler stuff. The most notable exception are spanish films, and those from lesser-known EU countri

Genuinely interested, why do you think Edge was faster than Chrome? What technical reason would be behind that? I cannot imagine Microsoft improved Chrome's speed by a noticeable degree without Google noticing and applying the same imp

How do you arrive at 100km/h if you're averaging over distance? I don't doubt you're right, but I don't see it. My calculation is as follows: suppose the distance between both cities is 120km. The trip A -> B thu

There are enough humans, and enough work. We need to stop treating all humans as one-of-a-kind unicorns, and see ourselves as a collective species again. On the same page, the opposite is somehow true. Maybe this sounds confusing, but I don

We need accessibility more. Unfortunately, despite all CoCs, this has been forgotten in wayland¹². Sorry for unrelated rant. I know I deserve the downvotes. (I have a vision impaired relative) ¹ yes I know, the compositor! Unfortunately eve

I think the real crooks do the old-fashioned stuff. Like, not use a smartphone at all for criminal things. Just use expendable workers over two or three layers of hierarchy :)

Also agree. There should be tags for "Amazon Affiliated" or "Murdoch Affiliated", but there should even more be a tag for "Independent Journalist". The latter are, unfortunately, mostly in jails today, be it in

I think an AI may have extra qualities by feeling suffering etc., but I don't think these extra qualities are rationally beneficial.
