That's because they literally live in an isolated society where everyone else accords to the same rules about technology. Unless you're going off to live on a commune, you're not going to be able to live like the Amish in 202

The belief in "72 virgins" (not 52) is not a common belief amongst Muslim men. It's basically a Western misconception, likely inspired by a specific translation of Osama bin Laden's 1996 manifesto.

I don't really think that good writing and LLM writing looks all that similar. It's not always easy to spot (and maybe HN users aren't always doing a great job at it), but even the best LLM output tends to have an "LLM s

It all basically boils down to: in order to dissipate heat, you need something to dissipate heat into, e.g. air, liquid, etc. Even if you liquid cool the GPUs, where is the heat going to go? On Earth, you can vent the heat into the atmosphe

Surprised to see this comment strike a nerve with the HN crowd. That was my first thought as well. Religious organizations? No thanks.

Eh, I got a cheap degree from a public school (URI), albeit in Mathematics and not Comp Sci and it hasn't stopped me getting good tech jobs over the last decade or so. I'm currently working at a FAANG. Maybe I'm just extra ha

If you live in a jurisdiction where there is a speed limit enforced by law, you likely have driven above it at some point. By definition, this is a violation of the law. Yet you have observed that you have never been arrested (perhaps never

Sure, you can ask the agents to "identify and remove cruft" but I never have any confidence that they actually do that reliably. Sometimes it works. Mostly they just burn tokens, in my experience. > And it's not like any o

No, that's the game engine.

Depends on what format you view it in. For the printed version of the spec, it's sufficient ;)

Yeah, I see quite a lot of misanthropy in the rhetoric people sometimes use to advance AI. I'll say something like "most people are able to learn from their mistakes, whereas an LLM won't" and then some smartass will rep

You can teach a human when they make a mistake. Can you do the same for an LLM?

by tyg13 1y ago
I'll never doubt the ability of people like yourself to consistently mischaracterize human capabilities in order to make it seem like LLMs' flaws are just the same as (maybe even fewer than!) humans. There are still so many obviou

IMO, Python should only be used for what it was intended for: as a scripting language. I tend to use it as a kind of middle ground between shell scripting and compiled languages like Rust or C. It's a truly phenomenal language for glui

Mathematical notation isn't at all backwards compatible, and it certainly isn't consistent. It doesn't have to be, because the execution environment is the abstract machine of your mind, not some rigidly defined ISA or progra

What in the Hacker News in this comment? Mathematical notation evolved to its modern state over centuries. It's optimized heavily for its purpose. Version numbers? You're being facetious, right?

I weep for a world that is increasingly dominated by corporations, filled with people who are insistent (probably correctly) that they are being taken advantage of, doing the bare minimum, all resulting in an awful experience for everyone.

Exactly. This amounts to a partial nationalization of Intel.

The surprise is the federal government acting like an unfair negotiator, substantially altering the deal after it had already been struck. Equity in return for investment grants was never a part of CHIPS, and was only made part of it by Tru

Depends on who you ask. Trump himself seems to think the US is getting 10% for free. I think that's a fair assessment given that these grants were already supposed to be paid out to Intel, without any kind of equity stake promised. Wor

For me, voice input is an immediate no-go because I don't want to have to talk to myself while I'm in line at the grocery store, or waiting for my oil change, or in the dozens of other situations where I typically use my smartphon

Why does this read like an LLM produced it?

I think this takes an unnecessarily narrow view of what "intelligence" implies. It conflates "intelligence" with fact-retention and communicative ability. There are many other intelligent capabilities that most normally-

I feel like, if nothing else, this new wave of AI products is rapidly demonstrating the lack of faith people have in their own intelligence -- or maybe, just the intelligence of other human beings. That's not to say that this latest ro

If they try to sell their software, by your own admission, you won't consume it. That's the point. The fantasy is the idea that some of these open-source products would even work as a closed-source proprietary business model.

> Is the critical difference here that the array access happens outside of the "for" expression? Precisely: this means that `d[k]` is guaranteed to execute before the check that `k < 16`. In general, if you have some access

Leaving aside the fact that that code reads an array out-of-bounds (which is not a trivial security issue) that's a ridiculously obtuse way to write that code. For loop conditions should be almost always be expressed in terms of their

I particularly like how they use `space` in two different ways, from Q-Tip's second verse: These notions and ideas and citizens live in space I chuckle just like all of y'all, absurdity, after all Takes money to get it
