Replacing workers in specific industries is one thing. AI is trying to replace people in general. Expecting new jobs to pop up is misunderstanding the goal of this technology which is to eliminate jobs.

AI is a technology with the explicit end-goal of substituting energy for people. It's not intended to benefit the common man, it's intended to benefit the capital owning classes.

That's not how insider trading works though. Let's say that you know that event Y is going to be announced that will make event X more likely. Before Y is announced you buy shares in X on a prediction market or buy some asset that

Sounds like a Unicode problem. U+002F is not a letter codepoint and it's not appropriate to use as a letter given its history of being used for path separation. Iraqw slash should have its own code point. Can they not just use a 3 like

Agreed. The proprietary nature of these tools is a huge impediment to their usefulness. A intelligence plateau will happen sooner or later (my bet is on sooner), and when it does the open models will catch up. And everybody will be using op

These threads are always full of superstitious nonsense. Had a bad week at the AIs? Someone at Anthropic must have nerfed the model! The roulette wheel isn't rigged, sometimes you're just unlucky. Try another spin, maybe you'

It's not a security incident because it makes Google money. It's extra revenue. They are embarrassed all the way to the bank. At some point, when it appeared 2 months ago on HN and they still did nothing about it, intentionality c

Just wait until you have to make a complicated order in a country where people don't speak English very well, you will be very thankful for the kiosks. Even the US has two languages.

It's as if Ollama is trying to create a walled garden, but the garden is outside of their property, so all it achieves is walling themselves in.

Ok so they trace the domain purchase to some drug addict in Russia who got offered $100 to buy it. Then what? Wait for them to leave the country then nab them? They will be waiting a long time.

It's not hard. You could just pay someone else to buy the domain for you.

This is not true. Attackers are usually not publishing packages under their own accounts. They are publishing packages using hacked accounts of major packages that have many dependants. The real owner will (hopefully) notice when a maliciou

This is a bit like invalidating a result based on 0^0 := 1 because you work in a field of mathematics where 0^0 is an indeterminate form. Not very interesting. AFAIU the original paper is a result in the field of symbolic regression. What d

Yes it is. Even a cheap Xiaomi is fast enough to render any application you can think of. React is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck is all the bloat in the application code. Webdevs act as if optimization isn't a thing and the only s

Ignoring TLS we have: 1st RT: HTML and loader script (CDN) 2nd RT: data (app server) and code (CDN) in parallel Therefore you need two. But not all roundtrips are equal. A roundtrip to a CDN is much faster than a roundtrip to an application

After the Musk acquisition, the identity politics ultras quickly moved to mastodon and bluesky. Regular people were slower to move if at all because of switching friction. Social media is an amplifier: most of the users are passive consumer

It's not 2010 anymore. Client compute is fast. Server compute is slow and expensive. 4G is ubiquitous and 3G is being phased out. You can send a tiny amount of JS from a CDN and render on the client. You will save money because the ser

It makes sense to me. Originally LLMs would get stuck in infinite loops generating tokens forever. This is bad, so we trained them to strongly prefer to stop once they reached the end of their answer. However, training models to stop also g

Formal verification is just an extra step up from the static types that you might have in a language such as Rust. Common static types prove many of the important properties of a program. If I declare a variable of type String then the type

The only thing that we are sure can't be highly compressed is knowledge, because you can only fit so much information in given entropy budget without losing fidelity. The minimal size limits of reasoning abilities are not clear at all.
