To be fair, that's a realistic mistake that twitter users might make too. Musk has one of the most faked accounts on the site, with lots of bots running Musk impersonation crypto scams. IMO this says more about the problems with twitte

You don't need to rewrite existing code. Just develop new code in it.

Generally speaking, I'm a back and side sleeper, but sometimes if I really need to sleep, I always find stomach sleeping works the best (and lowers stress -- if something was keeping me up, stomach sleeping usually helps). That being

They still have to pay for servers and maintain the model itself. A neural network isn't just the data -- training and commercializing it (testing, QA, etc) is a lot of work. You wouldn't have an issue with someone making money by

Another reason this might be news-worth is if the rate of Tesla fires suddenly rose. I didn't look at any numbers and I suspect the number didn't suddenly change. Just trying to point out that ICE fires aren't the only baseli

There's some misunderstanding probability going on here. For example, if the population stays at 8B between now and infinity, and we assume a uniform distribution of % chance you're born at any time, then it's just as equally

Appending "reddit" to the beginning of search queries could get SEO'd away too if enough bots start posting to reddit :/

yeah but this is true for profanity filters as well, and yet useful profanity filters still exist. Is it 100% accurate? No. But it's probably still useful.

While I agree with this sentiment, there was a lot of harassment and toxicity with the old version. It made it too easy to find someone's profile if you knew them in real life. This reminds me of the "old facebook" too, which

Usually I hate skeptical mean comments like this on hackernews. Right or wrong, there's a certain level of empathy missing. And yet... In this case I find myself guiltily agreeing.

Are there any chemical carbon configurations more stable than CO2 which are solid?

Unless we have widely available pre-trained models with generic knowledge that is easily transferable. Such a thing is obviously difficult, but it isn't impossible if we're talking about the future.

Pay the doctor a fixed amount each month that increases as you get older. Sure he makes X right now, but if you live past 100 he could making 5X that.

These are idle cars which are not braking, so the PM2.5 here is purely the engine pollution. City life might not be affected as much, but school buildings with cars waiting outside will be!

Honestly it seems a bit like an overreaction. The author found a single person who is leaving GitHub over it and they're waving it around like "some people" are leaving GitHub.

Well, if your life is extended, it'll definitely happen within your lifetime ;)

"stick together long enough....", I don't think that's going to happen. There's no way this government will last 2 years, I doubt it will even last 3 months.

The alternative is waiting literally 10-20 years for anyone else to catch up.

Yes, but maybe steel is more essential to society than burning natural gas. But natural gas companies make more margin so they can afford the carbon credits, meanwhile steel has tighter margins so it gets passed to the consumer. This means

This is just redefining what counts as "real intelligence" to raise the bar. Once we have computers that can think like humans, there'll be people saying 'oh, it's not real "understanding", it's just

Israel has many different population groups. The Haredi population is acting like covid doesn’t exist and has insanely high numbers of cases. I suspect that despite the vaccine working well on your everyday science-trusting Israeli, the Har

Along these lines, it would be really cool to see GitHub begin to approach the source code infrastructure that Google has internally. If they added a good build system (heck, just use bazel) and a feature to build code in the cloud (of cour

Apple should really converge the ipad and macbook. Having something like a surface book where there's a laptop/desktop experience with a thin, light, detachable touchscreen and full desktop software would be really nice.

My experience with Hemingway in the past has been that it's a set of general heuristics which prevent bad writing. I found it quite helpful to proofread. It's not a replacement for a human editor, but it's a step up from trad

But at least it's difficult and illegal. It makes them less of a target for hackers since they're less likely to pay and it places liability on anyone who tries to work around the law.

To me, this seems similar to training a neural network on 10,000 images and then publishing the weights themselves as a distilled "image" (of course, it's not the weights themselves but a "distillation"). I feel lik
