Why is this being hidden off of the main HN pages? There are clearly enough points for it to be significantly up weighted. I don’t understand the censorship.

I think this is an open question still and very interesting. Ilya discussed this on the Dwarkesh podcast. But the capabilities of LLMs is clearly exponential and perhaps super exponential. We went from something that could string together i

Why is this the case? I don't understand, can somebody explain the logic to me here?

There’s a line in the book I quite liked: “All the interesting people disappear to San Francisco.” Was incredible to me that even back then, SF was known for its homosexual culture. Lord Henry was remarking on where Basil likely had disappe

So when will they be available for commercial rides? Can't wait to waymo from SF to Berkeley!

Something about the cadence, structure, and staccato nature of the bottom paragraphs also felt very LLMed.

Absolutely unreal, Ilya should be head of state.

I stopped reading past the first sentence, because that is not the logical limit. The logical limit is an unparalleled super intelligence that's akin to a god. What you state as the limit in the extrema is incorrect. Therefore with a f

There is no bubble. Your priors are not serving you well here.

Actually, this is wrong. The point of being a contractor is to __not__ give somebody an options package, or full-time employee benefits. My friends who are resident researchers at OAI do not get any option packages. Regardless, his financia

Scott Aaronson worked on watermarking text from GPT to catch plagiarizing. This is the most commercially naïve project ever, given, at the time, most of ChatGPT's paid usage was from students using ChatGPT's output to cheat on ass

Why is it always taken as a conclusion that humans will persist? Lots of species go extinct, and it is not clear that won’t be true here as well.

LLMs have solved this at scale. Really you're just filtering for more technologically sophisticated recruiters at volume.

What is your personal framework for determining if a founder is an outlier or not? Given how many people you've seen go through YC, and chatting with most of the batch, what stands out to you?

You're wrong. YC's returns far exceed the returns of the S&P 500. This is why LP's throw money at YC's funds. And secondly, I've been through YC. It is very apparent after many many group office hours, which sta

Nobody ever pays too much or too little for a startup. Because either you __really__ make it, or you don't. It is statistically more likely for your YC startup to be worth more than $1 billion, than it is to be acquired in a cash deal

YC is very similar to a university. There is a small group of companies that create the reputation on which everybody lives. The results are extremely exponentially distributed. So yes, it makes sense you joining some arbitrary YC startup w

Wow, crazy randomly seeing my Algo prof at the top of HN winning this! Congrats Eshan!!

I think they're more concerned about political retaliation from the Trump regime than having their feelings hurt.

As a YC backed college drop-out, I think there is enormous character development value in a college education. It is a great segue into real/high-value commercial endeavors. It teaches you so much more than "something practical&qu

Humans are bad at driving. I do not want an automated system to be a substitute, I want it to be vastly superior and safer. 40,000 people die each year in car accidents in the United States. I expect an autonomous system to be ZERO deaths a

This seems really interesting. I'm curious how this compares to fully automated EHRs similar to what Modernizing Medicine has built for Dermatology practices. Also there's a startup called DayDental which does RCM, for dental prac
