no it's not I work on AI and what these things do are much much more then a search engine or an autocomplete. If an autocomplete passed the turing test you'd dismiss it because it's still an autocomplete. The characterization

Those ips are dying. They aren’t maintained. The steam platform doesn’t have any exclusives. While it doesn’t need exclusives it certainly doesn’t hurt in a competitive fight. An IP that rivals Pokémon, Mario and Zelda exclusive to steam.

Steam needs IP. Something as iconic as Kratos or Mario. That's how you go toe to toe with consoles.

Another analogy: it’s like painting a gold toilet your favorite color of hot pink. You’re not exactly trying to show off a toilet right?

It wasn’t boneheaded. It was done to make Yann leave. Meta doesn’t want Yann for good reason. Yann was largely wrong about AI. Yann coined the term stochastic parrot and derrided LLMs as a dead end. It’s now utterly clear the amount of util

Yann was largely extremely wrong about LLMs. He’s the one that coined the term “stochastic parrot” for which we now know LLMs are more than stochastic parrots. Knowing stubborn idiots like him he will still find an angle to prevent him from

Did you deep dive into this? Given the amount of downvotes I have I’m sure you weren’t the only one if you did. About 30 percent of developers have no degree. Which means… if the average graduate of CS is 130, how low does the average swe w

Only because while you don’t brag about it you truly do believe you’re smarter. It’s not even about acting humble. The ego is real because despite me saying software engineers have roughly above average intelligence you couldn’t take it. h

Cleverness in code actually correlates with cleverness in social aspects. People come up with this artificial dichotomy of the awkward nerd with high iq but zero social skill but the reality is both of the two correlate slightly. At the ver

It’s not clever to brag about how smart you are or imply you and your entire cohort are smarter than other occupations. It’s a sign of how much you are the opposite of clever. Additionally the average IQ of software developers is measured t

Software devs also all think they're smart and they talk that way and take pride in it. The reality is many software devs are dumb af.

Cute. You can go to any comment you disagree with and make up lies like this. What's the point?

errr no. You're trolling.

No you completely missed his point. He's saying instead of using "microservices" to modularize your shit, you can use folders to modularize your shit. Folders? Files? When someone told me that I could use folders to modulariz

Yeah I would say you’re the minority use case or you’re lying. People who pay for and therefore fund pirates usually don’t pay for legal services as well.

This is a minor issue. The big issue comes when we start complaining about code that's not generated by AI. When hand coded stuff becomes buggier than AI stuff.

>So now you want to replace the things that aren’t happening in the digital case with some other things that aren’t happening in the digital case? Oh I see. You think the physical break-in imagery is the problem, not the behavior itself.

Ah, the classic HN Passive Aggressive Concern Troll. “Are you okay mate?” Translation: I want to insult you, but I do not want dang to notice. It is the same genre as: “I am genuinely confused how someone could think this.” Translation: I a

Same with paying for your software. One time setup and it just works afterwards, but easier. I use stremio with pirate plugins which provides basically an identical experience to Netflix. Don’t even need a setup. I think you get it though.

Usenet. Right and this is less obscure and more easier to use than Amazon, Spotify, and Netflix? Give me a break.

Oh simple. Remove the glass and I pick the lock of the front door to your home and walk in at night while you, your wife and your kids are fast asleep and I scan the book that I want with a portable scanner. Not just one book. Many book acr

Let us be clear from the start. This thread is not about piracy. Everyone pirates. Everyone knows everyone pirates. The internet is a vast floating marketplace of digital oranges stolen from the same tree. The practical question is boring.

It truly warms my heart to see that the entire Hacker News population only pirates things out of pure moral principle. A noble stand for user experience. You PayPal’d the authors too? Beautiful. Inspirational. That is basically philanthropy

Judgement can be expressed in the form of tokens. Yes LLMs are just token generators. But the tokens they generate express judgement in a way that is indistinguishable from actual judgment. So who cares. It's like saying nobody drives

I agree with everything you said but chatGPT does have an insidious thing where it confirms your biases. It kind of senses what you want and actually runs with it. For truly unbiased responses you literally have to hide your intention from

Professionals have confirmation bias too and the LLM will hook into that regardless of patient or professional. It's so good at it that even "training" the professional received can be subtly bypassed. Basically there needs t
