IMO attempts to make it low paid work will fail, just like almost every STEM profession. But... the number of engineers that we need who operate as "power multipliers" on team will continue to decrease. Many startup and corporate

The problem with the European mindset on this, is it's always involves bureaucrats taking their taxpayers money and allocating it in smarter ways than American investors who are doing it with their own money. If that seems unlikely to

Go to a typical Nordic community gathering space and speak English.... I'll wait. Are they treating you like a local yet?

And if those people they bring in who knows what they’re doing aren’t using AI after a certain point, that company isn’t going to make it either. OP is talking about learning, we all did it at some point, and yes you were a liability too. L

Can we agree: Claim 1: A “sustainable birth rate” is bounded by the efficiency of resource extraction and the repair rate of the environment for the damage the extraction does to it. Claim 2: It would appear that technology has accelerated

As an aside, and as someone who doesn't own a vision pro (non US pleb): While it is interesting to me if people find utility. I can't help but feel that the narrative on places outside of HN is a strong "no". But, that i

Most private underground pedestrian tunnels are basements of existing buildings. Do you think the government should be using tax payer money to be cease/buy basements instead? Seems like a really odd use of resources just to not be abl

> If German chancellor or US president visited Russia, and there were enough desire to arrest them, they would be arrested. I don't see practical means to prevent it. Invasion. It would lead to invasion.

As much as I am against Putin… this article and headline are silly. If Putin visited Germany he would be surrounded by his own armed security. Any attempt to arrest him would lead to a standoff that would immediately end in him leaving the

The nature of the scam has evolved, and possibly the parties involved have changed, but the scams were always there.

Either this is a missing layer, and we’ll get there soon, or one could say verification is happening through the statistical model. We need to see if we can train hallucinations out by having it rely on a stable data store to retrieve facts

Honestly, yes, I don’t think it’s that far off. LLMs are a series of relatively simple transformers chained together. Through which we can simulate thought to the point that it not only passes the Turing test but it’s useful. This is a bit

I agree with 99% of the statements made here, but I think a lot of them are now problems. I think the big thing to consider is: We're still in the early days and there is a lot of low hanging fruit. It is possible that the number of po

I'm starting to wonder if the most effective way to protect against prompt injection is to use an additional layer of (hopefully) a smaller model. As in, another prompt that searches the input and/or output for questionable conten

This was my first thought as well. I'm kind of surprised the media is making such a big deal out of this. I would assume, considering how cheap it is to make a stratospheric balloon, it is either fairly common and the US has an equival

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34340079 , I would venture to say that this isn't any different to the reason why you know that 2+2 is 4.

I get what you're saying, and it's a database if you're talking about facts, but breaking down mathematics and being able to perform logic isn't a database in the true sense, it's still able to generate novel respon

I would wager that it will eventually be able to do math and logic, and may already be able to with the right prompting. It can follow instructions quite well, and multi step problems can be solved by breaking the problem into small digesti

This is true, but the renewable energy that was used to mine could have supplied the grid to reduce reliance on non-renewables. If the renewable generation capacity was built entirely for the purpose of crypto mining and in other words, wou

Yes, and once this happens it significantly lowers the cost of automation in general, which then will continue to drive exponential acceleration. It will take time to get there but I believe it to be a lot closer than most believe.
