I miss the days when this was normal for production websites. I wrote delete query once but forgot the where clause so I nuked the prod DB.

Speculation – but Google moved HN up in search recently and I suspect that's resulted in a spike in traffic. I assume the downtime is capacity related.

The link you cited, says Gemini says: 'Modi has been "accused of implementing policies some experts have characterised as fascist"'. Is this true? Or more specifically, is this issue here that Gemini is saying something

What's the reasoning to suspect aliens here? Are we hypothesising Aliens could be anal for mathematical perfection, or is it that there's some utility in having a mathematically perfect star system such that an advanced alien civi

Honestly, I don't AI chat is anywhere near competing with search at this moment in time. It will come, but there's no significant near-term risk that AI chat is going to be the place to go for common Google searches like: "wh

I'm not sure I'm a slow thinker, but I often over think which causes me to delay output. I also struggle with word recall which compounds my issues with real-time communication. This is something I tried to seek some advice on the

I can't help, but just wanted to wish you well. If you haven't already you need to reach out to literally everyone you know. Old colleagues might be able to get you some work. Friends and family might be willing to give you somewh

People here don't care. When I read the story that schools in my area had been installing spyware on students phones I assumed it was some kind of isolated thing. But my GF works in schools so I asked her if she knew of this app and sh

Isn't facial recognition wide spread in the US yet? In the UK we're already using it everywhere. Most stores and checkout systems have it. It's used in CCTV across the country. It's used by police to identify protestors.

No, they don't help if you're referring to "productivity hack" content. Procrastination imo is far more related to your neurology – most of which is beyond your control. I can't speak for others here but in my own l

I've developed the somewhat controversial opinion that anything that can be conceived and built in a day is almost never worth doing. What I've seen work better is companies setting aside some team resource (maybe 10%) for innovat

I suppose I have some insight into this as I've worked for the public sector in the UK for several years. The Gov.uk estate is absolutely enormous. There's obviously all the public facing stuff, but many many more internal tools a

Okay, now prove that please. I was trying to present a crappy philosophical point – that the difference between a gullible AI and an unaligned one is fundamentally unknowable. Any evidence you point to as proof that an AI is bad at reasonin

This depends on perspective. I could argue the issue isn't that it's gullible but misaligned. In the case of the napalm Grandma it seems odd to me that you're suggesting the LLM is stupid because it's answering in a way

Exactly, money is only useful for the exchange of resources. It's the resources we actually want. In a world of AI those with access to AI can have all the resources they want. Why would they earn money to buy things? Who would they ev

They almost certainly trained on video game output and this is clearly bleeding into the style of some of these demos. The SUV video for example looks very much like something you'd see in a modern video game which probably makes sense
