I was about to comment something like "happy for OP, he's very fortunate to have enough to be able to simply retire" when I read the bit about Home Depot. Amazing, really walking the talk at a level I've never seen befor

Apartments are safer than single family houses regarding fires. In 2023, the annual fire fatality rates for single-family homes and older multifamily homes were roughly equivalent at 7.6 and 7.7 deaths per million, respectively. In contrast

I've noticed a spike of articles with apparently anti-AI titles, but once you dig in a few paragraphs its actually a "this is just a fair warning from such-and-such, which by no means is an anti-AI bigot, and is actually a fervent

And there was a comment here on HN just a few days ago saying "AI psychosis is not a real thing".

OP clearly is out of the loop and hasn't tried out the latest frontier models. SOA labs have specifically tuned the new models to counter the "I'm tired of talking to AI" issues using even less tokens and power!

These own-vs-buy comparisons always compare an idealized rental situation vs a concrete ownership situation. Its never realistic (although this article does acknowledge it: "My 1983 home had been used as a rental for years, so much of

I don't think that's a very mainstream view amongst historians. I can only name two popsci authors, Jared Diamond and Yuval Harari, that espouse that thought.

Maybe that's the goal. That picture you took last week with a Wendy's on the backdrop - was it a Wendy's or a McD's? Let me check. Oh, it was actually a Subway. By the way, did you know Subway has two new exciting foot-l

Why was this title changed? The original was better, and, well, original.

This is exactly the out of touch sentiment that the article criticizes. AI is not rain or a thunderstorm or electromagnetism. It is not an unavoidable force of nature that we have to "deal with", and pretending otherwise is a clea

>You are never going to get the exact book word-for-word using LLM. This is pretty much the exact claim of a NYT lawsuit against OpenAI. "One example: Bing Chat copied all but two of the first 396 words of its 2023 article “The Secr

Forgive my ignorance, but if the corpus of coding data was always 90% bad, isn't that the same data being used for training LLMs? How are they magically any better than that average?

Tried it because of Goodreads recommendations, couldn't get past the first 30 pages or so. First book ever I rage quitted. The main character is so unlikeable and the weird sex stuff was too repulsive.

Exactly this. And the fact that it is an industry-wide meme at this point makes bright red flashing lights and klaxons go off on my mind that a catastrophic reckoning can't be too far. There's not enough money in the world to keep
