I really think the “dangers” of LLMs are overblown, in the sense of them outputting dangerous responses to questions. Its no different than googling the same. Decades ago we had the Anarchist’s cookbook, and we dont have a litany of dangero

React has become the Java of late 90’s to mid 2000’s. Loads of libraries, documentation, and developers which creates a flywheel that will grow those aspects over the next X years. Until something comes up that is magnitude better in perfor

Outside of maybe GIS update to maps, how is this relevant for HN? Seems like this will just entice political debate vs a tech discussion

Most likely these vulnerabilities were known by adversaries and they decided to report these to make it more difficult for those adversaries to attack. I’m sure the really juicy zero days they’ve discovered in-house are kept out of reports

This is separate from the kind of case outlined in OP. The one linked has to do with Trump’s account being suspended. It’s definitely off, but no different than a big pharma lobbyist paying every other presidential campaign. Or the 100’s of

AI race is arguably just as, and maybe even more important, than the space race. From a national security PoV, surpassing other countries’ work in the field is paramount to maintaining US hegemony. We know China performs a ton of corporate

I submit no such responsibility is required, thats one reason comment threads exist. So others can add to the discussion…

Fully agree. The academia gatekeeping in certain fields hasn’t served us well over the last decade or so. Fresh ideas from individuals with experience from all walks of life should be entertained. Doesn’t mean they’ll be followed. Furthermo

Unhealthy characterized by red meat? When are are going to move away from the stigma that saturated fats cause health issues “Red meat causes cancer” from self-reported diets of cheeseburgers and other processed foods. This study lumps read

At the very least there should be legislature to disclose the parties involved in decision making around algorithms and content moderation

Makes sense why ketogenic diets have been reported to slow down cancer progression https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6375425/

We have to be careful, it cuts the other way too. Part of the propaganda is also showing extreme left content AND extreme right. The goal is not pushing left or right, the goal is divisiveness.

Especially during inclement weather (honestly even only mild weather), the system activates when it thinks i’m not gonna stop in time near a stop light . I don’t drive aggressive or reckless, but if the right mix of weather/sun/e

They had a massive amount of reports that they can hardly keep up with. Their “safety” team will be costly and grow very large! https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/17/24298790/bluesky-moves-d...

I got laid off then brought back on last minute (whiplash), and though i was burned out while applying during the transition period, end of the day i needed a job. So whether people check out as in, leave industry or take a smaller pay sure

Censor? This is not related to tech or what HN is meant to discuss. We didn't see a flood of election or political content in the last couple weeks for this same reason An absence of a type of content, does not imply a stance on the co

Reducing taxes should push for local and federal governments to become more efficient and waste less. We’re at an incredible deficit as a nation, interest alone on that deficit outpacing defense spending. Creating additional taxes, which wi

My concern is the behavior shaping is not a simple, single variable equation. Many times these policies have knock on effects that produce a worse outcome for those struggling.

Sounds like utopic thinking seeking an unattainable perfection. What happens when taxes are so high, we have an egress of businesses from regions within the US causing collapse of local communities like saw with Detroit?

How is this HN related?

How far does this go? Should we charge taxes on sugar due to health care costs? What about taxes on fiber due to increase wear on sewers? Go to electric. What about the environmental impact on battery creation/recycling/maintenanc

Unfortunately recent issues since the last couple elections have become partisan. We should stop using scientific institutions as means to political ends. Its bad for science in general, and sows distrust. No one who reads scientific americ

At least with a judge you’d have representation in some form, and have an actual argument for-against it. Agencies will just write whatever they want, enforce it, then after have the legal system involved. At that point the damage is done

One step we can take for free markets in healthcare is to have transparency for medical procedures across all hospitals. You want to be allowed to take insurance money? Then you must report procedure costs for everything. This was pushed la

Guess it depends what you mean by better. Also, in today’s context we have exponentially more complexity thats abstracted away. OS, drivers, user land software, heck even browsers alone. Given this, I do think we have a lot of glue and duct
