To the people here talking about switching to fully remote positions (while taking a pay cut) - how and where did you find your new positions?

What do you mean "accused of"? This has been the official and government-wanted policy for years in some countries, so much so that there are specific laws that ensure young academics by default cannot expect a long-term career in

If people find it harder and harder to tell AI voices from real humans, it must be in parts because of people like that youtuber. If you gave me a recording of her voice and had me guess, I would have said "AI" for sure.

I beg to differ. No autocomplete in the traditional sense can take a human language description of something you want to achieve and produce code that implements just that. Or at least, some version of that. And if you're not happy, yo

This is exactly the kind of argument I think is informed by 20th century ideas of AI. I also think in this form, it greatly exaggerates the issue at hand - AI will not totally replace human-human communication. Also, since the original cont

The trope of the sci-fi robot has been so engrained into our cultural narrative that I think people constantly underestimate the creative capabilities of AI. People still think in terms of this dichotomy of math/science and art/cr

There's two things going through my mind after watching this video: 1st) What an amazing piece of technology this tool is. 2nd) How many years I would probably have to spend to learn all the ins and outs of that program from scratch.

Thanks for taking the time to give input. You might have missed the part in my original outline, but I am already a proficient programmer with decades of experience in a number of programming languages. Also, I've taken theory of progr

It's the same in Germany, plus home schooling is not permitted (except in some very specific circumstances).

When I was growing up in the 70s, it was totally normal for a dad to give their under 10 year old kid some money and send them to the corner store to buy a pack of cigarettes for dad.

Maybe we should consider changing out National anthem's lyrics from "home of the free" to "home of the safe"? Would rhyme better with "brave", too.

I'm sure similar stories can be told for any country, but I've got to say that when I lived in Germany, I never had any trouble with deliveries. Maybe I just got lucky. I did feel bad though for the people doing the deliveries, in

That's interesting that many people here seem to have had good experience with using vinegar. I tried it once with some weeds growing in the cracks of my front entry brick path, and it didn't really work for me.

True. But my point is that the quote "people didn't believe in data" is not true. Back in 2019, when GPT-2 was trained, the reason they didn't use the 3T of today was not because they "didn't believe in data&qu

Answering to people arguing against my comment: you guys do not seem to take into account that the technical circumstances were totally different thirty, twenty or even ten years ago! People would have liked to train with more data, and the

The original article has the number 1,000 in its title, why the ridiculous change to 1k for hackernews? As a matter of fact, as it is written right now, it makes little sense compared to the article's actual headline.

As you might notice, these don't have a handle at the top where you would perhaps expect to hold and spin the tops with your fingers. That is because tops were not supposed to be set in motion with your hand but rather using a string.

Org code blocks are great but not quite the same as having a REPL. But like I said above, I think this is really a great piece of software. I can definitely see this being a game changer in my daily work with Emacs.

This is really sweet. I've only recently started dabbing into AI-assisted programming, and I think this integration into Emacs is really smooth. What would be really neat is to add REPL-like functionality to an LLM buffer so that code
