No 14 year old "publishes 4 books" without over-involved parents. And she's not even complaining about not going to Stuyvesant or LaGuardia? This is NYPost trash, not a real concern.

I wouldn't call it "trolling", but it does seem to be off-topic. He probably wants conversation about the event, not clickbait.

The "automakers have known for 20 years not to design wireless entry systems that this device can hack" argument is much stronger than the "you can't ban us! we're just doing physics!" argument in the specifica

Not only does this read like pure bullshit, it is bullshit on a website that crashes the Apple Vision Pro (and makes my laptop suffer). My prediction is that they will raise a nine-figure sum over the next decade, and never release a produc

No, there isn't a shorter version. In fact I would need about 5x the word count to make my argument clearer. I am still digging through the 54-page paper to try to find the data set for this "death penalty" test to tell if t

As far as Mr. Marcus, no. He is too consistently and deliberately anti-LLM (despite any facts) to be worth engaging with. As far as the underlying research paper: the researchers seem to be conflating "low-status English dialects&quot

Of course it is absurd. Mr. Marcus' entire schtick is absurd criticisms of LLMs, and absurd demands of anyone who creates them.

Progress isn't infinite, status is often a zero-sum competition, and exponential economic growth is something that only people who are bad-at-math want (and should they be doing economics?). Also, the whole essay is begging-the-questi

Two points: 1) The panels being de-commissioned now aren't modern panels, they are 20+ years old. They were substantially less efficient (per square-meter) than today's panels when they were new, and they (probably) are aging wor

John Rush is a troll posting fake stories to churn engagement. He is correctly flagged. The fact that he uses the flagging to complain on social media to churn more engagement just means that we need to keep flagging him. (ref https:/

Or just let it get flag-killed; do we really need reddit tales that are too-good-to-be-true on the homepage?

I am getting sick of these "people can't be allowed to make their own nice things easily, because of a pugnacious (and very online) interest group that wants to keep getting money" takes.

The passcode "O P E" isn't "Peace On Earth", it is the first letters of the word "Open".

"Joseon is not a party" because it isn't a nation-state (like the signatories of that treaty), it is rasengan's personal micronation/cryptocurrency.

This proves nothing; note "This conversation may reflect the link creator’s personalized data, which isn’t shared and can meaningfully change how the model responds."

This is indistinguishable from gibberish. A common symptom of "quantum bullshit" articles. If they have something that isn't nonsense, they can write a better article.

He could have just re-assigned them to work on LLMs. But no. Now, after paying many millions in severance, he is hiring an entirely new team to do an LLM model.

Yup. The headline is "fake science", by and for moral scolds. The study doesn't even come close to demonstrating the headline claim.

People are going to believe the worst about AI for the rest of the decade, for reasons entirely unrelated to what actually happens. Concluding "if we respect people's feelings and do one weird trick, people will suddenly trust AI&

(almost a) dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38600031 Also, as the finished product is more epoxy than wood by mass, the naming is a bit misleading.

What exactly is the "science" that they do autonomously on these ten-minute flights?

Perhaps more relevant is that, after being acquired by private equity, Zulily is (probably) shutting down. Apparently litigation is more profitable than competition.

All the comments are suggesting, roughly, that 3M is somehow "evil" for getting out of the floppy disk business. But nobody uses floppy disks anymore! (This is a good thing.) Why shouldn't they have gotten out before the com

This is pure rumor-mongering, about rumors that have been discussed to death here over the past week.

I don't want to say you should never do this. But if you aren't writing a compiler or an embedded system, you should never do this.
