I have to say, the long line of comments from obvious bots thanking the opener of the issue is a bit too on the nose.

The opening paragraph bothers me greatly. "multiply a gaussian and a power law, the power law dominates." They literally are distributions of different variables, why would you "multiply" two different distributions that

This is so funny. The consultants are having their ai agents tell your boss the same thing about you, but you're different, you're bright. I bet chat told you that too.

Europeans are so blind to how they are essentially on the same path as the US, the US just got there first.

The context is that this is in response to California in the US potentially passing a law that requires age verification on the operating system level.

Like 1 year ago, wallstreet bros were being interviewed saying they decided all the green pledges and all that was woke from the pre-trump 2 era, and I haven't heard anything at all about climate change really from any world leader in

You think? I will get banned from HN if I bring up that these models are fundamentally theft but we just don't put them in jail because they had the foresight to bribe the trump admin like everyone else who wants favor did.

Even the author eventually admits the problem is fundamentally academic funding and the stupid publishing culture we have. I wonder if the author had the courage to actually expound upon that as opposed to leaving it as a triffling mention

So, I'm no professor, but as an ten year post-doc (unfortunately) I can say that most university groups benefit from both types. Again, the problem fundamentally is funding and the wrong incentives, as it always has been from before I

To be honest, given the issues with the NHS, the UK isn't the best example to use for a "universal healthcare" system these days.

That is NOT the line for doxxing at all, I don't know why you hang your argument on that aspect. Even institutions that care about secrecy like governments state that documents that aggregate ostensibly public information can raise the

I love this article. "btw don't do PRs, they're dead! (source: me)"...alright buddy.

I understand being mad but no, unfortunately, despite me knowing humans are human and they get angry at times, this response does still leave a bitter taste in the mouth and many people will perceive it that way. Changing the content of the

Did you read the article? They dug deep, they didn't just do a google search and leave it at that. They drew links between deleted posts and defunct accounts, they compared profile pictures of anonymous profiles. I'm not defending

See my comment below. The Guardian piece states the images are flagged to the government, hopefully once to reduce the onerousness of it, by the victim.

I had to google a bit, but this Guardian article[1] goes into a lot more detail than the Register piece here. I was of the opinion that this sounds too onerous and ill-defined when I first read the Register piece especially with censorship

I hate to be the one to point this out but really, in 10 years, how many rust ports will face the same fate?

I think the only thing you're wrong about is modern China is a lot more about face which also is part of Singapore's psyche but nowhere near as much. While there might be some book-cooking, it's nowhere near as bad as the bla

There are elections but a combination of gerrymandering and honestly just good governance by the ruling party has kept them in power. People genuinely like the PAP. To the extent people vote for opposition candidates, most people would read

Close to a true perspective, especially if you came as one of those suits. There is soul in singapore, it's just actively co-opted by the govment or actively suppressed. You have to actually live here to see it and have friends who are

This article is so strange. It's interesting, but all he seems to care about is what right-wingers think. Who cares what they think? I guess that's all to whom Tyler Cowen wishes to appeal.

Regarding just the headline, at this point it's not really about immigration, this has evolved into a soft civil conflict being waged for political reasons. The two people who have been killed so far were themselves citizens and at bes

Until you want a feature that the software doesn't have. I hear you about damning shitty code which the web industry as a whole is quite responsible for, but I don't see how them dying outright is better.

There is an industry wide biting the hand that feeds them going on. It would be nice for people to realise that's what's happening.

The moving of the goal posts is a lot here. Measuring sensitivity only is still a useful thing and at least aids radiologists in their decision to use this model specifically and how to base their reliance on it. Also, why does every study

My wife has tried to use a flip phone just for nostalgia's sake and she has a newer phone that supports android 14 (technically android go 14) and thus should work with most basic apps. However, one of her banking apps refuses to work

So I have a position that I don't think you'll like. I feel like making money is a means to a better life. Generally, we as a society should seek value creation that actually improves society and increases our productivity. If all

It's why these people love AI so much. Less of a competition to worry about.
