Joseki are akin to book openings in chess, eg, we routinely see players going 20+ moves entirely from AI prep.

There’s no assumptions. We know he was killed by the John Brown Gun Club operating as “security” for CHAZ because they live streamed them shooting the vehicle, discovering he was still alive, and executing Antonio Mays Jr to the chilling wo

Imagine working this hard to defend child murder by your political allies, live-streamed on Twitch when they assassinated a black youth for joyriding on their turf.

They did — in the targeting database which wasn’t correctly updated with the new analysis. That’s exactly the sort of bureaucratic mistake which gets exposed via wartime mishaps.

Antonio Mays Jr was killed on livestream by CHAZ security — and the crime scene tampered after to prevent conviction by CHAZ members. Tyler Robinson is clearly leftwing, as evidenced by the message on the bullets and association with the le

Who have they assassinated in the last 10 years? We have leftwing examples from Charlie Kirk for speech to the live-streamed execution of Antonio Mays Jr for joyriding on leftwing militia turf.

Parler experienced a government coordinated shutdown across app stores and infrastructure providers like AWS. I’m not sure what distinction you’re trying to make, when their infrastructure (AWS) was shut off due to the government labeling t

I don’t think it was intended. I think that when you’re bombing thousands of targets, a 0.1-1% targeting error rate leads to dozens of unintended collateral hits (and thousands of civilians dead) — and is among the many reasons wars are hor

I can’t comment on if it applies to your workflow, but one process I’ve used is to aggregate and land ~10 security patches at a time. Eg, - grab a group of (related) bugs/defects/vulns - fix them on a branch like bug-batch-XXX - r

Okay — you’re still not explaining what actually breaks, just repeating they could measure over and over. Please say what you specifically believe is unphysical about the situation — what trajectory reaches the singularity in finite time an

Okay — why is it unphysical such a ball has unbounded curvature?

Desperation is no excuse for anti-social behavior. I am calling out exactly that sentiment, because it removes the intelligence, agency, and morality from the people you’re discussing by reducing them to animals. You call them lessers and s

They feel superior to those “lesser” humans, when denying them equal intelligence, agency, and morality. They’re just getting off on being racist to the “savages who don’t know better”.

I enjoy when HN engages in overt racism like this — eg, denying peer agency and morality to SE Asians, due to the posters feeling above those “lessers”. Paternalistic racism might as well be a central tenet of certain political movements —

Scorpions had a turn when the giant ones preyed on our lungfish ancestors. This is our turn; eg, similarly dinosaurs preying on proto-mammals and our abuses of avians.

You absolutely can call them and make it clear that their playing games is causing you reputation damage ahead of an IPO — so you need that fixed. A large conglomerate isn’t interested in pissing off a client because their subcontractor has

Is the claim “created”? My understanding is that the CIA influenced the rise of modern art over Soviet realism, eg, by hosting shows and bidding up prices. That is “created” in the sense that a movement would have been smaller or fizzled wi

Circa 2015 when the reformulation of meth made it more likely to induce psychosis — as the new flow chemistry version altered which isomers were made. At least, in Seattle.

I think it was correlated with outsourcing and H1B replacements, because you can’t outsource the leadership required for bottom-up methods. Further, foreign business culture is significantly more too-down than American business culture.

I’m working on a whitepaper on a layover. > I know good sentences. I know the style of prose I like to read. I know how things can veer between florid and poetic and where the line is. I know how a sentence can be completely different if

This is partly why I don’t worry about “LLM slop” — we had plenty of artisanal human slop before.

You can just reverse the two phrases: “I felt X, Y, Z, so I did P, Q, R, but I’m sorry for that because it caused you A, B, C.” Your usage of “but” still invalidates the preceding phrase on behalf of the latter, which works here because the

Reasoning is mechanical. I think a problem is that previously thought, reasoning, and intelligence were always co-occurring, but now we have machines capable of (limited) reasoning that do not think or have intelligence.

“Aha” as a single token records the LLM discovered it made a mistake and needs to pivot. On the next forward pass: it rediscovers the mistake, its “aha” noting that, and then provides the first token of the new idea. That “aha” contains inf

I know almost nothing about music; can’t play a bit. I can still distinctly remember the first time I heard Rachmaninoff performed in person — and the shock at the “brutal genius” of the art. I think sometimes art just speaks to you.

Politely? — yes, all the time. A frequent first question when a subordinate asks me for help: “What have you found so far, searching for answers?”

People all agree on that sentiment. Where they disagree is if you add value on the knowledge that makes the prompt possible or add value in rewriting AI to pretend you wrote it.

I agree with you about which objects are motive, ie, LLMs do just sit there unprompted. > I believe that this recurrence is where "intelligence" lives - and I believe it is the difference between a thinking being and a stochast
