Had they issued an initiative on slowing down when they had the best model in the game, it would have been both more (anyhow?) effective and less dubious.

I know that this may be somewhat dramatised and even infantile, but my reflection is that in the world run by these reckless AI companies everyone looses. Navier-Stokes is solved but it feels like no one has won anything, controversy prevai

I would advise any somewhat ambitious 17 year old to avoid tech and get into healthcare if they can stomach human interactions and bodily fluids. Sure, it is not all sunshine and rainbows, but there will still be plenty of work helping peop

I've recently been connecting some machines to a new switch and my colleague has been monitoring web logs at the same time using Claude. He send me a Claude-generated observation that the machines that I was able to put my hands on sim

On a side note, when I click the link it redirects me to machine-translated version of OpenAI website with completely botched meaning - the word “redacted” is translated to a false friend “redagować” which means to edit/refine text,

Can anyone more familiar with lambda calculus speculate why all models fail to implement fft? There are gazzilion fft implementations in various languages over the web and the actual cooley-tukey algorithm is rather short.

AFAIK – the input is (at most basic level) a matrix with L tokens (rows) and d embedding length (cols). The input tokens are initially coded into discrete IDs but they are turned into embeddings by something like `torch.nn.Embedding`. The e

Anecdotal evidence, but I do use Apple Maps in Poland and they work just fine for me, I guess the mileage may vary.

Happy to see this architecture stil being handy for other people. Right now, I am using a heavily modified VAE for generation of synthetic satellite imagery. I am working with very limited dataset sizes, so I have chosen VAE over diffusion

Mind you, that regardless of your sentiment towards OpenClaw, not everyone is able to afford a sparse Mac Mini (especially given ram prices) and a ton of Claude tokens/super beefy GPU for local models to run this stuff. That's to

I don't mean "demo-like" in terms of poor technology. I meant that this technology doesn't yield products or services with global scales to an extent it happens in the US. Google Maps successfully uses both LANDSAT and S

ESA has done a lot of good for public benefit with the Sentinel-1/2 missions. I happen to work with remote sensing and Sentinel data has been my entry point to the field. I hope that ESA keeps pushing forward even more. I am afraid tha

Mind you that the IT over investment sucked money out of other industries. My friends who chose different career paths do not seem to be particularly content either.

Yeah, irony put asisde, I believe that the reality is that people who already have power will consolidate it even more. Regardless if you were an average engineer, mid-level manager, consultant, whatever, you will be thrown under the bus an

Guys, is the current narrative that, due to AI, pure engineering is gone and we’re all supposed to be “managers”, or is it the other way around? I kinda lost the plot here.

BTW the whole plumber/electrician/whatever thing is ridiculous. I studied industrial automation before I joined tech. I checked the salaries for manufacturing maintenance engineer last month. The wages are a sad joke compared to t

Yeah, kids change the landscape a lot. On the other hand, if you don't have any personal ties, its easier to grab opportunities, but you are unlikely to build any kind of social network when chasing jobs all over the country/world

TBH, it all feels like a huge gamble at this point. Neither skills, education, institutional ties, nor current employment can guarantee a stable foundation for life. This hits harder depending on how much money, social capital, or debt you

I agree with you (and surprisingly so does Warren Buffet [1] if anyone doubts it). To add insult to the injury, I believe that people have lost some sense of basic self preservation instinct. Well being of ordinary people is being directly

I've been on a small adventure of posting more actively on HN since the release of Gemini 3, trying to stir debate around the more “societal” aspects of what's going on with AI. Regardless of how much you value Cloud Code technica

From the perspective of someone in their late 20s, the timing of this article feels quite off when entering 2026. The reality has become far different from the gist of what is presented here. Career paths and opportunities have been getting

I would say that we have now enough information to say that this sentiment (characteristic for some strata of american society) is simply not true: 1) Wealthy people account for more and more % of consumption (now about 50% in the US). Sour

I don't think that bots have taken over HN. I meant that the frontier of the tech research brags about their recklessness here and the rest of us have become bystanders to this process. Gives me goosebumps.

Yeah, I am familiar with these works of art and probably most people are. However, they were mostly speculative. Now we are facing some of their premises in the real world. And the guys who push the technology in a reckless way seem to noti

Yeah, I agree with what you said. It's not about the absolute number of people, but the social unrest. If you look at how poor we did our job at redistribution of wealth so far, I find it hard to believe that we will do well in the fut
