I think the same applies with the examples I listed.

Yeah, looking at the waveforms from those sample conversations it looks like it's happening at the exact same interval every time

I see it more as a way technology could be abused rather than an inherent flaw in the technology itself. If you start to replace human interaction with chatbot interaction, that's bad, but there's nothing wrong with using a human-

Seems pretty dumb to make regulations based on a hardware checklist rather than a safety validation of the entire system. But, I suppose that's why they are politicians and not engineers.

CFD is actually really difficult to get "right". Really tiny changes to simulation setup (mesh sizing, boundary conditions, solver choice, etc) can make big changes to the final results, it's honestly more of an art than a sc

Ever since IO earlier this year when google showed their AI strategy I switched to firefox and duckduckgo and couldn't be happier with the decision. I am by no means anti-AI but users should be able to choose when they want to use thes

I think this is a good example of the moving goalposts. The Turing test is not "AI is indistinguishable from human writing 100% of the time", it's whether it is possible at all for a system can be designed where a person ca

Care to elaborate? What is AI psychosis? How am I exhibiting it? I thought hacker news was the last place free of mindless dunking on the internet, I guess I was wrong. If you'd like to engage in a debate on the original topic of this

You forgot the first goalpost: the Turing test.

To be fair I think we'd be able to claim AGI is here if that problem is solved. At this point the models are so smart they're borderline super intelligent if they were cognizant of hallucinations and their own shortcomings. If GPT

Yeah, the scientific review process is extremely weird. I've had several papers published and the responses you get from reviews is sometimes complete nonsense. Sometimes it feels like some reviewers do little more than skim your paper

Good thing sci-hub exists…

Yeah, kind of hilarious to me that this was posted here. I suppose if you’ve never encountered control systems at all before they are quite simple, elegant, and cool, but I’m surprised any technical person hasn’t come across them at some po

If you’re cognizant of the sycophancy and not a total narcissist then it’s not too hard to figure out with a little experience when the models are just trying to hype you up

Custom built robots are expensive (basically an R&D project in themselves) and inflexible, if you want to update the process you have to redesign your automated system. The dream of humanoid robots is they can adapt to new manufacturing

Can you talk more about the UI for face/edge selection that you're working on? Is that only going to be in the OnShape/Fusion plugins?

Definitely! I stared with macOS since that's what I use most often and there's a strong tradition of menu bar apps on that platform. If people enjoy the Mac version I'll definitely make a Windows system tray version, then Lin

Anthropic really has been in a PR freefall since Opus 4.7.

I would love to do this if it didn't require such a huge amount of RAM. And the difference in quality is worth it to pay $20-$100/mo if data retention doesn't matter to you.

What drives me nuts about this whole water consumption discourse, is no one ever asks what happens to the water when it's used- it gets evaporated! It re-enters the water cycle as pure water! It's not like it's getting destro

I feel like this is only slightly worse than booking on any other airline. Even the supposedly "good" ones like Delta do a lot of these tricks. No reason not to, it's basically free revenue for them.

I think drugs is an apt analogy. Hackernews is like alcohol, it definitely can be addicting but generally most people dont have a problem with it. Short form video is like meth

It's not even just kids, this is true for all people to be honest. Not saying we should go back to an agrarian society but maybe unrestricted access to dopamine slot machines isn't a good idea for your brain.

You're gonna need a lot more than a parity bit.

I checked my email and I paid $60 for the 4GB model in 2023. >2x returns in 3 years isn't so bad.

Obviously more inflation is bad almost always. The question is how bad. By looking at a graph, you can get a sense for the mean and standard deviation of inflation over time, and this looks to be a small deviation in the grand scheme of thi

Zooming out tells you this tick up to 4.2% is not nearly as bad as the post-covid inflation, and drastically better than the 70s. Not a good sign, but also not too far outside the historical mean and probably no need to panic in and of itse
