LLMs are not the only form of AI.

The principal side effect is that you eat less. Eating less can have positive effects (losing weight), but can also make you feel like shit (in a wide variety of ways), as your body is running on less energy intake than it has been accustom

His argument is that the government is going to start forcing tech companies to install backdoors in their tech, now that (hypothetically) they can't use hacking anymore.

This "going dark" scenario would require new legislation. With secure enclaves, modern smartphones can't be cracked open in the manner that the FBI wanted in the 2016 case. So there's no such thing as "court order t

> A modern consumer GPU can crack "four random English words" in a day. This is just completely false.

Personally I don't think that a release announcement needs to be "marketing heavy" in the first place. That's really the heart of the problem - in an effort to sound exciting, many parts of the article are just wasting t

A stock exchange is nothing more than a marketplace. Anyone can start their own (the challenge being, getting a bunch of companies to want to list their stock with you). That freedom is actually why it's hard to create a Bloomberg co

Yeah it's interesting how in some contexts they're interchangeable yet, culturally we very often use the words differently. Personally I tend to feel like your second bullet - ethics are based on rules whereas morals are based on

Offtopic but, it always amuses me that the words "provably" and "probably" are one letter apart (and I frequently misread them for each other).

Probably never. This has been debated to death by both C and C++ standards committees. The consensus is that, since signed overflow is almost always a sign of a bug in the program, keeping it undefined enables compilers to optimize by assum

It depends on the kind of company, and the context. An ethicist at a company doing drug/medical research probably mostly oversees that the company's research practices are legal and safe (and that participants give informed consen

OpenAI was probably able to at least pretend that her role mattered... until they let their AI autonomously hack a rival company, then used the incident to score marketing points. I'm not surprised she left.

The loser of every suit will simply always appeal the AI decision, thus requiring a human decision anyway.

Yeah but, Taxi drivers usually don't hop around from place to place. They work in a specific metro area.

Well (to make an analogy), nature produces psychopaths - some people's brains just aren't capable of empathy. Whether you characterize that observation as "legitimizing" or just "being realistic" is merely a ph

if the government was able to lie on the jobs report, why wouldn't they just continuously pretend that jobs are up from now all the way through the election? (all the way through to the presidential election, for that matter)

Curious what you mean by this. There is very, very little medical knowledge today that aligns with historical folk wisdom. (Even simple things like "an apple a day" - apples are fine, but foods like berries, kiwis and avocados ten

It can be both. Bell Labs performed a lot of speculative research while still producing economically valuable technology.

Plenty of companies in (or adjacent to) the AI space are still getting acquired and/or finding VC funding, even as funding in other spaces is drying up.

Meh. It does all sound rather grandiose, but in this startup economy I'm sure he can at least manage to get acquired. At least he's pursuing something more novel than yet another "sandboxes for agents".

It's a well-made show, for sure. Expertly crafted, visually, and very well-acted. Though I found the pacing questionable - there were (generously) 6 episodes worth of plot spread out over a 9-episode season.

I see nothing wrong with this, neither in principle nor in practice. Also, this was merged over 6 months ago without incident. What is the purpose of this HN submission?

Haven't encountered "marbles in an airplane"-style brainteasers, but leetcode challenges are definitely still the norm at Google and other big tech. Not sure who was claiming otherwise.
