What's so hard to get? Security and trust are lip service. Corporations lie to make a buck. How is it not obvious? Actions speak louder than words.

They actually say they're being sarcastic, and you still don't get it...

So what would I get from China instead of a BMW M4 or Audi S5? That would be on par for craftsmanship, dynamics, safety, reliability, price. I'm quite curious.

I wonder what you mean by "accumulates". If I change the tires, the slight difference due to the previous brand and the slight difference due to the new brand do not compound. I only get the last one. And if the older ones were wo

That sounds so cool when a billionaire vision-guy says it. Too bad reality is that "pressing need" isn't magic, and sometimes just isn't enough. Like this time.

On a tangent, I wonder how many car manufacturers would actually sell a self-driving car if they were able to build one. Creating a taxi fleet and charging for usage seems much more profitable. Or at the very least, the price would go up a

65 years ago we had never traveled outside Earth's atmosphere. 50 years ago we had traveled to the Moon. Surely by now we are visiting the nearest star, no? It's incredible to me how many people honestly believe they can predict t

Isn't it already unpredictable? That is why nobody outperforms indices. And utterly irrational, which is again both expected and seen. This must be why Tesla continues to have a huge market value - Elon knows how to excite the LLMs. :)

You still need to design a CRDT that solves your particular problem, you don't just say the magic word "CRDT" and the problem is gone. And the performance will depend on how good the design is.

I had the exact same feeling. Can't tell if it's real or a joke. It's not only outrageous for privacy, but also very bad engineering.

I don't understand why Johansson's movies would make it obvious you're not supposed to mess with her. > I repeat. Do not mess with Scarlett Johansson. > You would think her movies, and her suit against Disney, would mak

They have no clue which signals work and which don't, they just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Another "Sam" signaled his superiority by playing games during meetings with investors, and it seemed to work for him

It's funny to me to read now about employees of OpenAI being coerced or tricked or whatever. Didn't they threaten to resign en masse a few months ago, in total unquestioned support of Sam Altman? They pretty much walked into it, i

There is no way in hell you have any kind of backing for the 50% halving number at each version. Prove me wrong. It's remarkable how many comments on "hacker news" are basically "I like it, trust me it works great".

I have seen this "huge improvement" comment about FSD just about in every discussion about FSD ever, since the first version. It keeps getting huge improvements, and it's still not done. At this point I expect version 579 of

May I ask why you bother to specify the geographical location of the Constitutional Court? I assume you guys don't have several of those. I mean, in general for other countries people just say "constitutional court" and that

Aren't you supposed to use more buckets than nodes, with each node hosting a number of buckets not all adjacent on the circle? This I expect would reduce the problems described in the article, though not eliminate them of course.

99.9999% of the code running on my machine is written by others and not even readable to me. I'm pretty optimistic that a similar percentage is true on your machines. So yeah, we run remote commands all the time, all of us. There may b

An excellent point. Still: seems like any social site that's open to everyone will eventually gravitate to the same distribution of subjects, which is the distribution of subjects of interest to all people, aggregated. Would be a pity,

I am aware of things outside of HN, as I do read other sites. But when I open this one, I hope for a certain kind of content. If it's the same as all the other sites, it becomes kind of pointless. So no, that's not "the probl

Who would accept shares as valuable if the contract said they can be repurchased from you at a price of 0$? This can't be it.

In what sense is the Duke Nukem thing "an example of this"? The duke thing is an internally consistent programmed behaviour, this is... just random errors caused by a random change in the source code. Duke is maybe non-euclidean g

Yeah, I have no clue why this is interesting. Of course changing a constant to a wrong number causes weird behaviour or errors. How else could it be? And the weird behaviour does not seem to be special in any way. What am I missing?

Theft is also a problem of political will. If people would just not steal , the problem of theft would be solved. For some definition of "solution", it is a solution. But not a useful or realistic one. It's just not going to

Doesn't the whole Altman sacking thing show that they had no power to do any steering, and in fact Altman steers?
