Personally, I don't know if AI will be a net-positive or net-negative for mankind, but if it's negative it's overwhelmingly likely that it will be due to environmental and/or energy usage concerns. That is, we ought to l

But what if (as the commenter you're responding to stated) someone believes that AI will have a positive effect on humanity? Is it morally wrong for them to disagree with your view?

They're not challenging that at all. The time limit makes it a game rather than an experiment. "You can't tell it's AI if you don't have enough time to examine the details" is not exactly a compelling claim...

When I was doing arbitrage and bonus farming, the process often involved wagering both sides of a bet on different sportsbooks. Result being that my DraftKings account was eventually down thousands of dollars over its lifetime. So of course

You can, since the contracts are transferrable. But SFOFC is not an exchange so you'd have to find a buyer yourself.

well, I just emailed the project just to see if they're aware of it part of me feels like this is most likely a defunct wallet and nobody involved with the project has the keys anymore

Many commenters seem to think the author is saying that we should stop caring about uptime, when what he's really saying is that we should be reporting time (i.e. number of hours down in the last month) rather than just reporting an op

Funny you mention this - a fast food restaurant in my town now has an LLM taking drive-thru orders. Though I highly doubt it has taken anyone's job, since most of the work is still in making, packing and handing over the food. (In fact

Hm? Drawing the next move's game state based on the current one is a very simple task. Chess academies are probably full of six-year-olds who could do this. For adults getting into playing tournament chess, losing to some kid barely ta

I don't even feel the effect as much because my brain filters these posts out nowadays, like ads. I have essentially zero interest in clicking on Show HN posts anymore.

Population growth has been slowing for a long time, and is actually already below replacement level in most parts of the world outside Africa. It's unlikely that we will ever reach a global human population of even 11 billion. Some est

You're drawing a distinction that doesn't matter in practice. If you encounter a NullPointerException incident then you either didn't annotate your code or you didn't run the tooling. (In fact before even running your CI

> space has practically infinite everything - land, resources, energy The Earth has more land than mankind will ever need. The Earth has effectively infinite energy from the Sun. And most of the resources we need are derived from biologi

Nullability annotations + tooling makes this a non-issue in practice.

So due to self-bias, people who shop absently with LLMs will mostly be the ones buying products from LLM-run businesses. Fitting.

This seems like one of those ideas that is intentionally ahead of its time. All of the "Real-world" demos they have are deeply unprofitable, but have drummed up excitement and news coverage (and investor money, likely).

Why do people arguing about communism always assume that the person they're arguing against thinks that capitalism is perfect. The world isn't binary.

Oh, I must have missed that In that case yeah, it certainly depends on what the local laws say. I think in the UK parody protection applies to copyright but not trademarks.

there are a wide variety of ways to indirectly detect that someone opened devtools the most common way is to set a breakpoint, which pause JS execution only if devtools are open. this pause can be detected with a timer.

Definitely not only C compilers. Any optimizing compiler can remove code from your program which you might deem important but that the compiler thinks is irrelevant.

No, tradmarks can be parodied too. It's a first amendment protection, and extremely common in movies, TV and video games. If the developer worked with a lawyer they could've gotten any suit by IKEA (this wasn't a suit yet, ju

Mass surveillance has certainly gone too far, but comparing 3000 premeditated murders to car accidents is not really a logical way to argue that. We investigate murder for a reason, despite it being a much rarer cause of death than natural
