It is very, very rare that a fringe or radical ideology that holds fringe views on almost all topics happens to hold a correct and important stance that is also very rare among non-fringe ideologies . Support for Palestinian rights has def

I think it's great that they were early advocates for Palestinian rights (I'm a liberal capitalist and dislike Marxism but have always been very sympathetic to the Palestinians and their cause), but, as this article states, this i

For anyone unaware, financial fraud investigation YouTuber Coffeezilla just released a good video laying this all out a few hours ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMEJTORMVN4

Everything about him since 2015 has been absolutely egregious. Anyone who hadn't realized it by 2016 will never change their tune. Even if he declares martial law for no good reason they're all still going to justify it somehow. A

Almost everything in this seems incorrect.

Slop is a much more general concept than that. I wish they would've picked a different term. "LLM fluff phrases" or something.

Okay, I've changed my mind and agree this is better, then. I wasn't aware they were adding two new methods. That is the safest way to do it.

What we're seeing now isn't exactly the power of capitalist oligarchy but right-wing populist authoritarianism. They forge alliances with wealthy figures to achieve goals and engage in a corrupt patronage system like in an undevel

He will very likely just pardon everyone on his last day.

I agree, though I also agree with the parent that the method name is a little bit confusing. "safeSetHTML" or "setUntrustedHTML" or something would be clearer.

I should've been more clear, sorry. By "expected costs", I mean speculative costs. Medicare probably is not sufficient if this particular person has such worries, no? Either he's irrationally paranoid or Medicare isn&#x2

Clearly something is missing. Either he's lying, or Medicare won't fully cover some if his expected costs.

True. The central problem described in the article is that he has cancer and doesn't want to go bankrupt from the medical bills. I'm not a socialist and am broadly pro-capitalism, but for decades I've held a firm belief that

Ok, maybe not 99%. Probably at least 50% of comments in 70% of threads, though...

With the upcoming release of Gemini 3.0 Pro, we might see a breakthrough for that particular issue. (Those are the rumors, at least.) I'm sure not fully solved, but possibly greatly improved.

Eh, Dwarkesh has to market the podcasts somehow. I think it's fine for him to use hooks like this and for HN threads to respond to the hooks. 99% of HN threads only ever reply to the headline and that's not changing anytime soon.

That's exactly why I said he would cringe at it. Seeing someone look at him saying "it's not able to make a good GPT clone" and going "yeah it's useless for anything besides React todo list demos" would de

The thing is cryptocurrency and metaverse stuff was obvious bullshit from day one while even GPT-3 was clearly a marvel from day one. It's a false pattern match.

The original context of this sub-thread was Karpathy saying how AI coding tools were pretty useless for him when working on this particular project.

>and the "LLMs will usher in a new era of messianic programming" camps Well, this one might still be borne out. It's just silly to think it's the case right now. Check in again in 10 years and it may be a very differe

HN's cynicism towards AI coding (and everything else ever) is exhausting. Karpathy would probably cringe reading this.

If it's a sufficiently long random string, that shouldn't be possible, right? Admittedly not an amazing user experience to have to share a random string to your friends, but many Signal-like apps do this. Great point that requirin

If no one knows your user ID besides you and the people you share it with, why would spam be a big issue? If it's a random string, I don't know how anyone could get it, unless you share it publicly or with someone untrustworthy wh

I consider myself a major LLM optimist in many ways, but if I'm receiving a once per day curated news aggregation feed I feel I'd want a human eye. I guess an LLM in theory might have less of the biases found in humans, but you&#x

Those are chatbots and those issues are not akrasia. We're talking about very different things in multiple dimensions.

As a programmer I have noticed this problem much more with command help than with code. Maybe partly because the training data has way more, and more diverse, code examples than all the relevant permutations and use cases for command argume

Fair counterargument. I suspect they probably aren't gaming the OpenRouter stats, but knowing their ethical standards it wouldn't totally shock me.
