LLMs are like human minds the same way airplanes are like birds. Both birds and airplanes can fly, but very differently. Birds can land on a dime, airplanes can't. Airplanes can carry a lot more weight and go faster. Similarly LLMs can

Exactly. Global Warming and species decline/extinction (we are in the 6th mass extinction) all appear to be exponential. The question is, will we have AGI before we destroy ourselves?

A lot of it is global warming. Nature preserves, untouched by civilization are also experiencing the same declines.

I've seen a TikTok where someone talked about using a low voltage in their garden to boost plant growth. I thought it was silly and one of those fake 'boost your productivity' videos. I guess it turns out to be true!

You missed a crucial point. Meta, X, reddit and other digital spaces that have user produced content make money off that content. It certainly is work to create tweets, posts, and comments, and videos on TikTok. This is free labor that thes

The problem with ditching the screen is that people genuinely love reading. Vast majority of my time in the day is spent reading, either on screen or paper. The product with the most variety is books, by a long shot. They are making a devic

Google's C++ style is not great and seems to be mostly designed so that Google engineers can maintain Google's vast legacy C++ code-base and maintain consistency. I wouldn't use it for my project or any new project. It's

Money IS debt. Government spending creates money and so does taking out loans. Those who live within their means or save large sums of money must thank those in debt for giving them the opportunity to do so. I say, better the government be

The right claims the books are damaging to children, they aren't claiming the books are intolerant. I'm starting to wonder if you understand what that word means. The books they are banning promote tolerance. You again missed the

Look, tyranny needs to be recognized. The Paradox of Tolerance means if you want a tolerant society, you must recognize intolerance as a tyranny and eliminate it. If you recognize a tyranny but do nothing, you stand to receive further oppre

Look at the numbers of who is willing to disagree with their professor publicly on controversial topics. It's those on the left. In other words, more open to express their opinions. By preventing intolerant speech from entering the spa

It depends on the level of government and their sovereignty. If the government controls it's own currency, the purpose of taxes is not to pay for expenses, but to provision the government, create a demand for that currency, and create

Depends on the level of government. For cities and states, taxes generate revenue, but for the federal government, taxes serve a different purpose because the US federal government is sovereign and controls it's currency. This followin

Here is a simple experiment you can do at home (designed for children, it's that easy). Just do it and come back to me with what you find. If you are smart enough to be on HN, you are smart enough to do this experiment in your kitchen.

I'm sure you are right they are behind desired levels. But the shortage of ammunition and problems ramping up production in NATO is well reported on. Manufacturers are reluctant to invest in increased production unless they get long te
