I wonder if anywone who could learn something from these kinds of articles ever reads them. Certainly does not feel like they do.

Good luck getting 90% of a large group of people to vote the sky is blue.

Too right. Now I'm starting to wonder how long my gmail account will remain free, and for that matter how long my HN account will remain free.

You want to outsource thinking to a computer system and keep manual labor? You do you, but I want the opposite. I want to decide what goes where but have a robot actually put the stuff there.

Oh yeah, the provocative opinion "If you're not using AI you're missing out. It is the future!" Never heard that one before.

None of the maxims actually seems to fit the verb "to destroy". We are making non-optimal software, pehaps. Perhaps even bad software. Though opinions might differ. But "destroy"? "To damage (something) to the point

Isn't there a "fruit of the poisoned tree" kind of thing? Sounds to me quite similar to the situation where you would murder your parent and get to keep the inheritance, even if you are convicted of murder. Inheriting stuff i

Do you think there was any way at all to prevent what came after?

I really have no clue about history, and what you say sounds very reasonable. I guess it is true. But I think any person who wants to live in a democracy needs a bare minimum ability to detect trickery. Because there has not yet been invent

A "language model" is a model of a certain language. Thus, trained. What you are thinking of is a "model of how to represent languages in general". That would be valid in a sense, but nobody here uses the word that way.

I don't see anyone actually saying the "he, he," part. It's more "oof,". Nobody's happy with the situation, but it is what it is. > Some people will [...] build a beautiful future Hope so. I'm sure

So DynamoDB would not fit your definition of NoSQL? I think it would, for most people. It's just a much larger category than Mongo and things like it.

I think anyone who says democracy is good and the will of the people should be respected is implicitly saying that is not true. Implicitly saying voters are individual agents and not a mob. Otherwise, if democracy is good and votes should m

Are the numbers before taxes or after? Incredibly, I can not find this information on the site.

By this reasoning mob enforcers produce value to the society too. They have jobs, get paid and so on. So no, it's not true. Just because someone was paid it does not mean they produced some value. The filler might have been a way to tr

Well, it's quite cool, but if PDF supports javascript, putting a javascript game in a PDF is something obviously possible. I don't know if it qualifies as genius. If the game was made from PostScript commands somehow, that would b

Is the test still private once it has been run? If you call the OpenAI API and send it some data, OpenAI has access to the data. Did the benchmaker run the models locally somehow?

Perhaps the cartoonist thought it pretty obvious too, yet felt moved to act as she did. If you think keeping your job comes before everything else you are not weird, but might be wrong. At least your opinion might not be universally held.

I am a little bit suspicious of Forbes saying "in fact, money does buy happiness". I fear they might have a little bias. I expected something like a Snopes link. Ah well.
