Again, seems so implausible that it's not worth worrying about.

Seems like a fake problem. Who would sue QEMU for using AI-generated code? OpenAI? Anthropic?

They don't ask any questions when you leave either, unless you overstayed your visa. In that case, they just ask you to come back with money to pay the fine. It's actually kind of funny: they don’t detain you or anything, just pol

Nope, they barely even talk to you. I've crossed the Chinese border literally hundreds of times, mostly from Hong Kong. They usually don’t ask anything and if they do, it's just a basic "What's the purpose of your visit?

Even China doesn't do this. I've crossed the border hundreds of times and was never asked to hand over electronic devices - in fact, they barely asked any questions at all. In contrast, my few experiences crossing the U.S. and Can

On the contrary, I was saying that self-driving in scenarios where the road has not been fully premapped is solved.

I'm pretty sure that problem is solved from a technical point of view - though it might not be commercially available yet due to economic and regulatory reasons.

More familiar than you apparently. Do you not agree that some people would not have made the same decision as you did back then?
583.
by olalonde 1y ago
That’s beside the point. It’s perfectly valid to draw inspiration from Kant or Al-Ghazali for your decision-making framework, but neither explains how people actually make decisions in general-their work is fundamentally normative. By the w

It used to be a "gentleman's agreement," but now npm enforces it - as a result of this guy's actions.

It seems what you really meant was: > And third, they haven't read Al-Ghazali, don't quite understand how I make decisions. Not everyone makes decision guided by the heart. Many people lean more on reason and logic.

I find it hard to believe this would qualify as "enough evidence" in any court of law. A straightforward defense could be that you simply stopped tracking for unrelated reasons. Also, are there really criminal penalties for receiv

What specific safety risks could an American woman face if her menstrual data were leaked?

The obvious answer is that it's not an actual issue.

The optimists got the timeline wrong but they were closer to the truth than those who said it would never happen. I have no idea how close AGI is but there is clearly no AI winter around the corner as some HNers have been predicting[0]. [0]

Why? It seems counterproductive given OpenAI's mission statement: "We are building safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome."

Don't have a source either but I was living in China back then and basically no one was using it. It was QQ and Renren.

That's not how it works - inflation is a function of money supply, not of how it is distributed. Do you consider Milton Friedman a "clueless teenager"? I admire your self-assurance by the way...

It wouldn't be very comfortable, but yes - it's possible to live on that amount. Many people on disability do so today. If it's not enough and you're unable to work, you'd have to rely on savings, family, or charity

The comment I was replying to proposed a UBI of $13,000/year or roughly what many people on disability currently live on. That would cost around $3.4 trillion annually, leaving over $3 trillion for everything else, including roads and

Not necessarily. The US government already spends >2000$ per adult per month. It would require a total rethinking of the role of government.

I think the implication is that people who don't have tinnitus can also claim it - there's no objective test to verify whether it's true.
