Since this thread might actually catch the eye of some people who are responsible for these kinds of things (nothing ever seems to happen with stuff that comes up in the Apple Support forums), I'll add my current pet peeve bug: On iOS,

I completely agree, though I haven't been thinking in terms of the cancer metaphor myself. I have been thinking a bit about how we could limit the negative effects of both advertising and other phenomena like social media algorithms: 1

The story begins at a kitchen table in Stockholm in 2015, playing Scrabble with my flatmate. I tell my friend I want to see if we can come up with a new type of word game Playing around with the game tiles, after a while I put four of them

A preemptive addendum to my previous reply: Yes, LLM:s currently only deal with text information. But GPT-5 will supposedly be multimodal, so then it will also have visual and sound data to associate with many of the concepts it currently o

I took the liberty of asking GPT-4 to take the second statement and your response to it, and turning it into a fable: "Once upon a time, in a village nestled by a grand mountain, lived a wise Sage. The Sage was known throughout the lan

Great points. Will just add a point 1.5: There's usually an inverse correlation between ill intent and competence, so the subset of people who both want to cause harm to others on a mass scale and who are also able to pull it off is sm

Yes, Robert Miles is great at explaining the problems of AI alignment, so I'll second the recommendation!

Yes, great point So many of the people who opine about AI, its trajectory, and its possible effects on society, have latched on to one or two possible effects - like it overtaking jobs, or massively increasing misinformation. These are both

This. So much this. I'm completely dumbfounded by obviously highly intelligent people consistently not getting this, and dismissing current generation AI systems as not being intelligent because they can't reliably solve massively

Late response here, but hoping you might catch it! I'm also very verbal, as that is the form most of my thinking takes. I do have some very limited visual imagination, but it takes the form of very vague and transparent 'flash&#x2

I'm aphantasic, and I'd say one advantage is that I'm not bothered by invasive vivid memories or anxiety inducing imagery. Just on a hunch, I think aphantasics are probably less likely to develop PTSD after trauma, as a big c

Taking the risk of violating HN policy here, but that gave me a good chuckle. I guess child sacrifice and wanton genocide is also on the whitelist

Third generation cryptos like Cardano/Ada, Polkadot and others using proof-of-stake instead of proof-of-work to generate new blocks are orders of magnitude less energy demanding and more efficient in terms of transaction speed and cost

Amazing how alive this cholesterol myth still is. Anecdotally from my own experience talking to people, the fear of cholesterol and saturated fats is most present still in the US and UK, two of the countries with the worst rates of obesity,

My guess as to why swearing in particular is easier would be that it’s mainly due to classic conditioning. When you’re a kid, you tend to learn through punishment (e.g parent telling you off) which words are not acceptable before you really

Some have mentioned the Wim Hof method here, but I’ll give it a shout out too. Have practiced the breathing daily, 1-3 times per day, 4 rounds per session (1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 minute breath holds) for a couple of months now and it’s had great ef

Some thoughts after reading the article and browsing through the comments on NYT and here so far: 1. Choosing the angle of emphasising a (fairly recent in origin) connection to a maligned fringe group. Great way to taint a theory and practi

Just want to point out that the nature of these loans (at least in Sweden) differs greatly from student loans in the US. Interest rates and downpayments are low, and if you can’t afford to pay off your loans for a period (due to no or low i

Not the op, but I encountered this theory through Dr. Malcolm Kendrick’s blog [1]. I’m only have a basic medical education (studied clinical psychology at a medical university), but I find the theory plausible. Kendrick’s criticism of the c
