I don’t see why the two are mutually exclusive to be honest. I’m not a mathematician, but I’m a software engineer and whether I like it or not, AI has changed my field dramatically forever. I understand the distaste for the way AI might be

Nothing. I’m going to run my 13 Pro Max into the ground. I do find the “Reference images” interesting, but not so much in going to run out and buy one. Other than than it’s the same old “everything is better” marketing shtick

The only thing that’s interesting to me about this release are the “Reference Images”. Seems like it could be a genuinely useful feature, especially in a world of AI generated content. I wonder if a similar system exists in other cameras?

Not with current technology. That was kind of the physics “trick” in the book ‘Project Hail Mary’, where the astrophage provided enough energy and propulsion to be able to sustain 1G of acceleration.

Shopify is a publicly traded company, and they own a significant share of the whole e-commerce market, they aren’t going anywhere lol :)

I grew up in prime N64 era, and played countless hours on the console. But I definitely never played, let alone even heard of the Snowboard Kids title. How did I miss this game? Am I the only one?

Don’t apologize. This was a very fascinating read, and a good technical write up, especially for you first even HN post. It’s not your fault others didn’t look at the username :)

No you are talking to the actual author of the article. It’s not weird for the author to comment on their own article

They shouldn’t have to make it “obvious”. They are the actual author of the article. It’s not their fault you didn’t double check the usernames. It’s not uncommon for authors to comment on their own articles.

I hear you guys, but it sounds like we’re taking about the default settings or “personalities” baked into the models by their creators. Either of them will act exactly the way you want if you explicitly tell them too. Add the instructions t

A few of my local parks have used this technique in their parking lots. I didn’t know they were called “geo-cells” so that’s interesting. They filled them with gravel. I imagine it was a good way to save some budget versus a traditional pav

I’ve been a Mac user since college and I’ve literally never heard of the product. To your point, this is their blog page, not a marketing/landing page. Of course it assumes you already know what the product is. I clicked to their actu

Yeah I probably overreacted a little bit, I got a little fired up :) I re-read it and caught that line as well. So Adam isn’t directly saying normal people are the problem, he does apparently believe it’s on the mega-corps, politicians, med

Okay great. We’re out of time. Fine, we get it. But the problem with this article, and many other similar articles, is it seems like it’s just designed to scare the shit out of us. No call to action, no recommendations in what to do about i

I’m tempted to add to this list, but Sparkle emoji has so clearly become a ubiquitous symbol for “this feature is enhanced by AI”, I’m surprised at the push back from the other commenter. I’ve never seen or heard anyone mention sparkle emoj

I don’t disagree, Costco has a reputation for selling well vetted products, but that’s not a good comparison. I trust Costco (even their online only sales), but in no way do I trust the other merchants listed. We’re specifically taking abou

I’m just going to leave this here because many of us (myself included) are prone to going to comments first before finishing the post: This post is in regards to the design aesthetics we encounter as users when we are interacting with AI.

I hate to be crass, I’m consciously trying to avoid well defined HN guidelines here, but the article is about discussing design aesthetics we encounter when we are interacring with AI not design asthetics the AI outputs when we ask it

Interesting how this technological war behind the scenes probably had a disproportionately large effect on the war compared to how little you hear about it in text books or history class growing up. The mention Turing a little bit, but I re

I wouldn’t think to much more on it if I were you. It’s not just this article. I’ve been getting the same feeling with other Arstechnica articles that recently trended on HN, so I think I’ll just pass when I see them for a while.

Consciousness is a topic I’m endlessly curious and fascinated about. This article seems like a good deep dive, I admit I only had the patience to skim it right now, it’s a lot of technical terms I’m unfamiliar with I’ll have to look more in

I’ve been playing around with some similar ideas in a couple of pet projects. I truly believe that some type of “proof of work” system like this will be the only reliable way to have confidence in human writing. The various AI “detector” so

The comment I’m speaking of was from a different user, and it’s giving a strong smell that both users are bots unfortunately. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s a coincidence those exact strings of characters were formed in isolation from each oth

Why is your comment exactly word for word of another comment just one level above in the comment chain?

This is a great distinction that I don’t think is getting talked about enough. “Open source” is probably the wrong term to use. Open “weights”, sure. If your only concern is how good is it at coding, then I don’t have an issue with using th

Okay, first off, without honestly reading the whole article (I tried but I just don’t have the patience), a quick red flag is the final analysis is only through Fable? Isn’t that inherently going to introduce unwanted bias? Whatever. Doesn’

You’re really going down a completely different rabbit hole here, that has nothing to do with with the technical content of the post. I’m not saying you’re right or wrong. I’m saying you aren’t adding anything to the discussion of the tech

I took the bait too and responded to this post, but it’s the third “green” screen name I’ve seen in the last couple days with the same text in the bio: “When dang and tomhow ban all of us humans, only bots will remain” So I’m afraid we’re r
