Curious that both average inputs and outputs match to exactly 5.74 kg. I had intuitively assumed there would be a significant difference, but I suppose that even if a lot of energy is extracted, the mass difference will be negligible, mc2 a

To be fair, the article itself says "unbacked" right upfront: > an attacker was able to mint tens of millions of Resolv’s unbacked stablecoins (USR) and extract roughly $23 million in value

I’d argue the opposite, the terminology is fairly mainstream by now and “inference” has a much more specific sense than “making predictions”.

That's not true, in a democracy you tend to have methods of appeal that actually work, and their threat keeps the wheels of bureaucracy greased. This is because, in principle, everything comes down to the fundamental threat that the pe

I believe you are looking at GPT 5.4 Pro. It's confusing in the context of subscription plan names, Gemini naming and such. But they've had the Pro version of the GPT 5 models (and I believe o3 and o1 too) for a while. It's t

Not at all, one of the key features of that design system was that the boxes had no borders, and they were differentiated by their flat background fill color instead. There's borders galore here.

It'd be interested in seeing how exactly the lawyers figured out how to define AGI. It must be a fairly mundane set of KPIs that they just arbitrarily call AGI, the term will probably devalue significantly in the coming years. The actu

I did upvote, it's witty, but it's a bit of a misrepresentation of how the economy works. In practice, people don't tend to pay people to eat shit without gain. You are paying people to help you. Money gaslights everyone into

I don’t know about popes, but many prominent mathematicians, philosophers and early scientists were priests or monks: Mendel, Copernicus, Bayes, Ockham, Bolzano... It was pretty much the only way to get the kind of education, intellectual c

Indeed, even if in principle AI and humans can do similar harm, we have very good mechanisms to make it quite unlikely that a human will do such an act. These disincentives are built upon the fact that humans have physical necessities they

Thank you that makes sense. I did a bit more research for context: The US only left in 2020 and then rejoined in 2021, I suppose that’s why I didn’t remember it as a big thing. The US was also just paying ~15%. It was the biggest government

In my experience GPT-5.2 with extra-high thinking is consistently a bit better and significantly cheaper (even when I use the Fast version which is 2x the price in Cursor). The HN obsession with Claude Code might be a bit biased by people t

I do agree with the general spirit, but do keep in mind that certain kinds of change are hard by design to ensure a degree of stability. Normalising the modification of electoral processes can backfire badly, certain groups will definitely

Great! I tried it on a standard Django project but it's not displaying any edges. It is able to detect imports at least, because "Add Connected Files" works, but no edges at all. Is there a good place to report such issues?

That should lead to a low recall: too many false negatives. I wonder how they are calculating it.

Looks great, it was actually just playing around yesterday with `code canvas app` which is similar, and also Charkoal.dev and Haystack Editor (before code-review pivot) which are related. Yours looks better than any of them already! I wish

My point (and Plato's) was rather that some people will definitely cheat, because it's locally rational, and it's actually better for everyone if they are "classy" about it and don't flaunt it too much. A minor
