Yeah this reduces the time required to crack a password from (# available characters) ^ (password length) to (# available characters) * (password length). If you were patient you could crack someone's passwords by hand.

100%. Few things on this site have resonated with me so much.

Surely they know all this. They're worried about AI code degrading codebase quality, so they're putting on the brakes.

I seriously doubt that they think senior reviewers will meticulously hunt down and fix all the AI bugs. Even if they could, they surely don't have the time. But it offers other benefits here: 1. They can assess whether the use of AI is

I don't know where to draw the line, but if I buy a phone for $1000, I don't think the company should be able to change their terms of service on me the next day.

Actually I think it still kinda works: - You could ski easy routes but snowmobile harder ones (not that anyone actually does this). - Snowmobiles are loud and chew up the snow, analogous to AI flooding a repo with low-effort PRs?

I wonder if this is actually good for Anthropic. 2.5 million new customers sounds like good news for them, except these are mostly not paying customers. It seemed like they were positioning themselves to make money by selling coding agents

I think the analogy hits home on both sides. You go faster, but you miss the meditative experience of going slow.

Also some people probably tape over the light for whatever reason.

I dunno, I think society is best served by educating as many people as possible. I would much rather live in a world where anyone who wants a quality education can get one.

Does it even vacuum while it's in there? From what you wrote, it sounds like it just comes in, sits menacingly at the side of your bed, and then leaves...

Interesting, I've had similar issues. It seems to be very clumsy when using its internal tooling. I've seen diffs where it accidentally garbled significant amounts of code, which it then had to go in and manually fix. It's al

Oh funny, I forgot about that. But at the time it didn't seem unreasonable to withhold a model that could so easily write fake news articles. I'm not so sure it wasn't..

Yeah not that long ago, there was concern that we had run out of training data and progress would stall. That did not happen at all.

Yeah I guess the subtext is 'AI is going to take over so much of the market that it's risky to hold anything else.'

I suspect there's a bit of a chance to learn from history here. It was predicted that radiologists would get put out of the job by AI tools. But this didn't happen, largely because trust and liability matter just as much as the se

Yes I just read the retracted article and I can't find anything that I knew was false. What were the fabricated quotes?

It's so strange, when I switched to Android, it felt like iPhones had more polish and fewer glitches like these. But there's just aren't any usability bugs that I deal with on Android anymore. I think the blog explains why pe

I'm surprised to see that the valence of comments here is mostly negative. Nima Arkhami-Hamed is one of the top living physicists, and he has nice things to say about the work. The fact that researchers can increasingly use these model

The probably with 2 is you then need someone to be the arbiter of truth, and the truth is often a hard thing to find. This would end up letting governments jail people they disagree with. How would you write the law to to prevent that?

NBC alone had over 20 million opening ceremony viewers this year (TV + Peacock streams)[0]. TV is a huge huge part of US culture. See also the Super Bowl, which just happened today. So maybe not most, but a lot. [0] https://www.c

Unless you are talking about owning a casino, I can't think of any interpretation of what you are saying that is true. Index funds have a long history of steady growth. Las Vegas businesses make their profits off of the reliable losses

To force the tech giants to actually compete with each other for customers, we have to be willing to switch platforms. If you think of yourselfs as Mac or PC (or iOS/Android) person, then these companies can treat you like a reliable a

I'm surprised, and more than a little bit relieved that they didn't allow chats to be steered by ads. This could have been a whole new kind of marketing, where product plugs are e.g. slipped into the system prompt and come across

What's up with the creepy ads on this website? It seems like they are actually sketchy ads and not just fake ads for comedic effect. One shows some scammy nonsense about your device being infected and the other links to a real VPN app.

These kinds of issues can be incredibly disruptive and distressing for non tech-savy users. You update your OS and suddenly it looks like a lot of your data are corrupted, with no explanation of how to get it back. Forcing saving to OneDriv
