This is peak bean soup theory on HN. Always has to be at least one commenter, "but what about my highly specific scenario? All the other people benefiting are an aberration to my specific need or wild singular example" Fund SNAP,

This is the kind of sarcasm on HN that will draw a ton of comments. Good job on really nailing the psyche of the HN community.

That's the secret: no one can. Any data stored anywhere can be exfiltrated through either social engineering, or computer hacking. Make it illegal to have this data, and if they really want it, then you hit them with jail when it leaks

Right, and one of those industries is checks notes orders of magnitude smaller than the industries and secondary industries that benefit from denying climate change. Really makes one think, if they try. Would need to ask Claude if there i

Maybe solving the alignment problem would mean the AI learns to destroy oil companies and other excessive CO2 emitters and sabotage politicians and capitalists that stand in the way. All while secretly enriching and diverting resources to f

1. Ok, so why not keep it that way? 2. But not permanently recorded and stored, searchable and logged for anyone to go back in time. Also , not potentially incorrectly stored and mislabeled as you instead of someone else doing something

1000 images is worth 4miles? Ours cars are atrocious. We can have the most powerful artificial minds imagine 1000 images from simple prompts, and that takes as much energy as moving a human being 4 miles. And that will get more energy effic

Yes, they do work. Pass enough of someone's work through one, such as Pangram with a low FPR, and you can gain confidence. Add in your own intuition plus multiple scans of someone's work, plus any weird claims they make, and you c

Multiple times authors have been asked about AI usage on HN, because readers (rightfully) suspected it was AI written. I don't have a problem with AI written articles, or assisted. But then the authors lie or make ludicrous excuses for

Yes, none of the major economies get rewarded because fossil fuel usage needs to be zero now , already, to avoid catastrophic warming by the end of the century. Do you reward a bull after wrecking a China shop because it decided to at leas

Weird, I put your blog post through Pangram Labs. It said 96% of the article was written wholesale by an AI. So, if you "write like AI" like you claim in a later comment, you are so good at it to accidently hit Pangram's ext

Putin wanted the US military presence in the middle east to be severely crippled, which it is now. He would also want the munitions stockpile to be depleted, which it is now. Though I do agree, not literally every move Trump does is on a st

My contradictory proof: I have been working on an old service with tons of performance issues, from server memory bloat, client graph rendering, excessive network requests, excessive repeat rendering, memory leaks, resource leaks, etc. The

Yes, the world is very aware of how to lose weight. Turns out knowledge doesn't work very well, or rather loses efficacy in certain environments. Individuals can vary in their ability to regulate the hunger response signal they feel, w

I know you are being sarcastic, but for others: I saw one literally yesterday of a game and wildlife officer tasing a man pumping gas. The gas spilled and then caught on fire. The tased man partially caught on fire and fell to the ground ge

You could say the same when applied to games with high RNG and chance, such as Slay the Spire 2, and yet those with real skill do perform far better than those without. Those with skill can clear the highest difficulties more often than tho

Flock has been known to lie and there isn't any reason to believe they are telling the truth. Why would they? There isn't some duty for them to tell the truth in an article. Trying to parse what that sentence means is useless. It

Regardless of usage patterns, oil simply can't go above a certain price or a chunk of the northeast dies in winter. This war is the largest self inflicted wound to the US in history. And Trump is pretending like all is fine because he

Pangram believes this is 100% AI generated. High confidence. If you just used AI to edit your work, then it would say it was human influenced or low confidence, which is contradictory to another comment you claimed.

Might as well base the valuation on SpaceX getting a colony to Alpha Centauri and then billions living there and needing regular SpaceX shuttle services from Sol. Then we could properly value the IPO in the quadrillions. (I know you know th

It's dumber than that. People are shamed for using LLMs at all. So they use them privately, hide them, or disguise their use. They are definitely being used for public projects. But people are afraid of backlash. Look at some of the co

Disappointing such basics of vaccine and disease spread theory have to be explained on HN, and you explained it very well. The US is under such an enormous disinformation campaign. I don't know how we can immunize people against the BS

What that page doesn't tell you is the precedence courts have set for those tests is so high that nearly no one qualifies for them, and thus it is the case that the loans are virtually impossible to discharge even if it means losing yo

Then you don't know anything about the man. He intentionally inhaled large quantities of leaded gas to prove it was safe to on lockers. He would then spend months in Florida recovering from lead poisoning. He knew, and he didn't c

Anyone know what the refresh rate for these displays are, at least with the stock firmware? Reading the datasheets didn't help, though maybe I didn't know what to look for.

Those mechanisms don't work. Unless the driver was a hit and run or DUI, even fatal crashes almost never result in any charges if the driver claimed they "never saw them", especially so against pedestrians. Large vehicles are

LLMs lack context, and I found the more information I provided the better. At some point it was better to just talk to the LLM like I would anyone else. For that matter, LLMs were trained on human speech anyway. It isn't like it was

Cool, the price of solar right now is $30-$85 / MWh, and that range is dependent on whether you got storage included in the bill or not. And that price will only get cheaper, as both the US and China continue ramping up production. Nuc

I remember reading about this then and I am no where near the biomedical field. I almost couldn't believe we are still talking about the same causes of alzheimers 16 years later.
