> What do I care about the terms of the interview as long as they hire me? Because committing fraud to get hired is a pretty shitty way to live your life

What are you talking about? If you lie to get a job, you are committing fraud. The company is not making any law here.

No I’m not. But it is what motivates people at a large scale. There are very few open source contributors that are actually really good. The nature of software means that their labor of love can scale very well. Additionally, there is nearl

Maybe you’re young, but git is better than all of the other shit before it. Try to come up with something simpler than git, and you’ll end up with something like SVN or CVS that struggled with more than a couple of people working on the sam

That’s not lottery mentality and thinking that it’s equivalent is why Europe isn’t innovating. If someone wins the lottery and gets rich, society isn’t better off. If someone starts a new company that made a cure for some disease and gets r

What does that even mean? Treating each iterative model as a new product is not any different than Google changing its search or youtube recommendation algorithm. Different pre-cooked prompts and filters don’t really amount to new products

How could a single dog attack 50 times a week including children? A single attack of a child (bites drawing blood) is usually enough to get the dog put down. Or are you defining an attack as barking and snarling without an actual bite?

The employer sets the terms of the interview. If you don’t like them, don’t apply. What you’re suggesting here isn’t any different than submitting a fraudulent resume because you disagree with the required qualifications.

A legislative body writing something down doesn’t mean society has agreed to it. If someone journals and writes down everyone they met with locations and dates, they will laugh you out of the room if you tell them they are violating GDPR. T

The lie doesn’t have to be intentional. All it takes is a really simple accidental debug logging flag to collect what amounts to a GDPR violation. The point is that no effort was made to implement a technical solution to protect privacy. So

HN rants about it because it’s not a good solution. It identified a problem but caused an idiotic fallout (cookie banners) and failed to actually put in a framework to enforce that companies aren’t just lying.

Is there actual evidence of this, like anywhere? Facial recognition on a small corpus of known faces (what everyone experiences on Facebook, their phones, etc) is an easy problem. Walmart picking up a face walking into a store and matching

The problem is that to you it seems like your data but to Walgreens they see it as theirs. They generated it with their point of sale system. The data is about a transaction that you made, but they generated all of it. Until we have agreeme

LLMs don’t go into a different mode when they are hallucinating. That’s just how they work. Using the word “hallucinate” is extremely misleading because it’s nothing like what people do when they hallucinate (thinking there are sensory inpu

TCP/IP is a great example though of something you can get seemingly correct and then be subject to all kinds of failure modes in edge cases you didn’t handle correctly (fragmentation, silly windows, options changing header sizes, etc).

Not sure if much serious research has been put into it. I would be suspicious of it deterring them because a lot of initial smoking happens in social situations where friends pass out individual cigarettes. By the time someone buys their ow
