I'm in product management (though a former engineer). You're right that knowing the tools and how to apply them is definitely meaningful. But I also have to demonstrate that I know more than just the use of tools. And unless I wan

I feel like Youtube vidoes are a massively annoying format for digesting information. It's so slow compared to text and it's full of fillers and introductions and flowery language. I'm surprised this is so upvoted on HN, es

I'm not really sure what to say here. Both the parent commenter and the author of the article had issues with ChatGPT supplying illegal moves. Both methods resulted in this. It sort of doesn't matter how we're trying to estab

We don't have any concrete reason to support that an AGI would harm humans. We do have concrete reasons to support that AGI will save millions of lives with advances in medicine and healthcare and a ton of other stuff. Until we have li

I'm a software guy learning the AI field and tools and I literally made a glossary in my notes that I add to any time I run into a new initialism or word or concept. It's pretty long.

Is there an implication that his thesis wasn't actually produced in the year it was claimed to have been made, and in fact made much later? It sort of reads that way but I don't see any explicit mention of this in the paper or com

> YC is sitting on top so much money and profits This is true of every big tech company doing layoffs. They can all easily afford to keep everyone. They choose not because capitalism has no room for humanity.

Being able to come up with solutions to assigned tasks that don't have a foundation in something that's often referenced and can be memorized is basically the most valuable use case for AI. Simple example: I want to tell my robot

Trying to claim you definitively know why it didn't solve the parent's puzzle is virtually impossible. There are way too many factors and nothing here is obvious. Your claims just reinforce that you don't really know what you
