I didn't live long enough to see the entire lifetime of HN, but it's definitely part of the old web in my book. Its functionality is the same it's always been, it's rock solid, lightweight and simple. No personalization

You can just complain about seeing it at "every location you've been to" (because this is true, I've yet to find a McDonalds in my city that doesn't game the order system). It shows the problem is widespread without

Humans are terrible at seeing and really internalizing second-order impacts of things, even if they are horrific. That's why I think directly killing one person would have a far greater impact on the average person than indirectly caus

Humans, however, are highly variable, which may produce really varied and interesting results if they work together. One instance of an LLM is the same as another instance, so while you may get more out of it by stacking more of them, I str

Care to find an LLM that will claim that any mammals (a category that we are a part of) are not gonochoric?

Tay is not an LLM and was trained directly by its user base. Grok is trained by xAI that obviously wanted to turn it into a far-right talking point reciter but went just a little too far.

Can I remind you that the MechaHitler episode was a real thing? If an LLM being lobotomized to the point of supporting Hitler out of nowhere wasn't Nazist in your opinion, then nothing is.

I'm not saying Musk isn't petty, I just think that in this crazy world, especially with the lines between public and private slowly blurring, we could have news like "some AI lab let the owner or a higher-up read chat histori

Can you name a "Marxist-Leninist AI" that's made by a real AI lab (i.e. no finetunes of open models made by someone on the internet)? I'm just trying to understand what the other side's equivalent of MechaHitler is

The UK is a unitary state. Even if it were a federation, the equivalent to your statement is something like "Ontario and Quebec are separate provinces, and Canada is a federation that includes them". These are by definition subdiv

The mistake they made is to directly say "one of the first countries" in the article title, which immediately implies a comparison to foreign countries. But clearly, since they're talking about England, which is a subdivision

It doesn't really matter what is being done, what matters is the trend that countries are moving in. The UK started on a more authoritarian baseline than the US, so their laws are more restrictive. But by and large, everyone is moving

This is just crowdsourcing a surveillance state. For now, people can still record everyone passing by their property (not even through!), although there's an argument for changing it because your right to recognize people out of your w

Of course, not being exposed to negativity will make you more positive. But this advice strikes me as a request to plug my ears and close my eyes. Doing these things will not stop the negative things that are happening in the world, and hav

The best thing is that the dog's actions are taken seriously from a judicial standpoint, yet the dog obviously can't be held responsible, so if there's wrongful action, no one is ever at fault!

If you're talking about employer retirement savings, even then not everyone has them, and the young people who do will only have an insignificant amount of assets invested into them due to not having had time to accumulate wealth.

You can just not have investments, which is more common than you think. Being young, lots of people I know don't even have enough of a cushion to invest, and others want to avoid all risk (especially in the current market) and park the
