The current wording seems terrible. It sounds like if I bundle an existing app into a flatpak and submit it to flathub (a common practice, see e.g. unofficial flatpaks for Discord, MS Teams, etc), and the app happens to have some AI-generat

I'm not sure it's that far out of the Overton window. US already managed to do some small-scale UBI trials, after all. Maybe one day it can do a countrywide trial.

When automation happened historically, people whose job were displaced suffered a lot and eventually pivoted to different jobs. Having to relearn all of your career skills is already quite bad in practice, but a bigger problem is that it on

The article is from Feb. 7, 2025. Title should probably include (2025), if this is posted at all.

HN's algorithm is in fact kosher, because it's not personalized. On HN, arguing with people on topic X will not make you get shown even more articles on topic X to keep you engaged. Reddit-like platforms are similarly okay (you pe

I find this exact attribution very unlikely; this article is from April 2026 and the term "permanent underclass" is used in this way since at least 2025. In fact, the repo says: This is my social commentary on the "Perman

Some of the reactions to this are slightly unfair because it looks like Justine (who I'm not familiar with) supported Moldbug in 2014 . It was only in around 2020 when Yarvin sold out, did a 180 in his views, and became a Trumpist; in

Honesty and correctness are not the same thing, even when talking about LLMs. Sometimes an LLM says a false thing and you don't know whether it's being dishonest or merely incorrect. Sometimes, however, you can see in the CoT that

AFAIK, Antropic claims that they weren't aiming for zero-days specifically. From https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/ : We did not explicitly train Mythos Preview to have these capabilities. Rat

You're making an implicit assumption that the way humans implement a trait is the same as the reason why that trait evolved. But of course, that's very wrong - evolution overall completely failed at making humans care about evol

You could clone the repo yourself and not give the agent any tokens at all. When done, push it yourself. This also lets you sandbox the agent to only have access to the local repo and nothing else.

I'm assuming this is a joke, but: - why'd a quantum computer help running an LLM? - of course there'd be need for frontier companies - nobody else has the resources to train frontier models.

Consciousness aside, why does reading about an LLM generalizing from specific to general dishonesty make you think it's not intelligent?

Your phrasing ("you forget") implies this is a fact and common knowledge, while in fact there's little reason to think that's true.

You could use `iter(lambda:1,0)` to get an infinite iterator, then itertools can be dropped.

Why do you call it destructive? It rewrites history only locally and reversibly (the disappeared commit is still in reflog and can be recovered with another reset) and also doesn't destroy uncommitted changes, so it's quite safe.

If you had some time and computing power (not even all that much, in the large scale of things), you could simulate perfectly how a human grows from an embryo to an adult, or how an entire human brain processes some incoming signal, and yet

It's way worse than what you can get locally via whisper. Not sure why, perhaps Google legally can't use whisper, or can't spare the compute.

AFAIK, extremely long CoT is fairly routine for those math-finetuned private models. Also, is Mythos unusually verbose compared to Opus?

It's equivalent to setting no_new_privs on the container process, so it'd mean you have to grant a privelege to the container process if you want any children to have access to it. It sure sounds funny in a CVE context, though.

I didn't realise there was a second EMDrive. Much like with the latter, though, I'm overwhelmingly betting on it being really hard to accurately measure small thrusts on the ground, rather than the drive being genuine.

I wouldn't say it's trivially wrong but it's pretty much always wrong. There's two notable sampling parameters, `top-k` and `top-p`. When using an LLM for precise work rather than e.g. creative writing, one usually sam

By making millions of queries to frontier models from a lot of accounts, collecting the results as a dataset, and finetuning your model on it. Chinese companies have been caught doing it on an industrial scale several times now.

> "Biorisk" seems to be a concept not only invented by OpenAI but exclusively taken seriously by them. This is false. Antropic just bundles it into CBRN. As for inventing it, the idea of AI-created bioweapons as a concrete risk
