or just not ask for it at all. The three times I've needed to provide a scan of my passport were: to enroll in a university course, to buy from an e-commerce site, and to become an app developer. None of those orgs really needed a scan

The design / UX world has been creating imaginary user personas, paying jobs for people to be the shaman / guru of each persona, for years. It's all just larping, inserting the bias and assumptions of your team into the spot

Intelligence and perseverance are two different traits. Smart + hard working kids will be fine. The problem is smart and lazy kids will find the easiest path, which in a world of AI leads to little actual learning. Maybe it was ever thus, b

Yes, buggy software is the right model. In the popular imagination AI currently sits in a weird zone of unaccountability, it's not a person so cannot be held responsible, and developers get a free pass when their golem goes off the rai

And if they can detect "words", surely a determined attacker can reconstruct the whole thing.

"hotword" detection, is this basically sniffing encrypted data for words the authorities don't want you to speak? Seems counterproductive to their stated aim of privacy.

Maybe Google's decision to waste everyone's time and pollute the truth ecosystem by pushing half baked AI assertions into search was a mistake.

Where does the sound on these AI videos come from, is that AI generated in the same pass, a second model, or is it added by a human after the fact?

Supergirl is basically a lazy slob who is born with godlike powers, I can see why that doesn't play well in a culture that prioritises hard work and self-discipline.

What would non fuzzy AI look like? Seems to me the fuzzyness is where all the fun is.

It's always the ones you most suspect.

So everybody has their own AI, running in a literal cave, with zero data ingress or egress. Perfection.

I also have a 500gb Mac. Recently I cleaned up HDD using Daisy Disk whilst asking Claude "do I need this?" questions. Runs much better now.

People finding a way to tolerate what was previously considered intolerable is pretty much the story of civilization.

You would think, but My 2019 MacBook can barely run an older xcode that doesn't emulate newer phones / tablets. Some of these responses to my above post are a bit haughty. I'm just reporting from the trenches that the Apple t

As an app developer, having to eat an ever increasing Mac hardware cost upfront may push people like me to just focus on Android.

I don't think there is much overlap between people capable of building cutting edge LLM's and the people who want to build a cutting edge LLM for the government.

Who will make them the next set of weights? If a government can just seize the product of someone else's labour, either they will end up as slave owners or without willing workers.

Even if AI is the next combustion engine, would you bet the farm on a C tier buggy whip manufacturer like Oracle being the next Ford or General Motors?

Google's AI is hamstrung by a culture of safetyisim, by that I mean going beyond what we can all recognise as safe limits to protect the user from imaginary ephemeral things like cultural harms. So maximal safety at all costs is in its

I'm sure every business can pull out an area and say: this is profitable. It's a classic hide the losses a shell game. So many shills on HN today, feels sponsored.

They cannot grow indefinitely when they make a loss on every user. More growth = bigger losses. Current investors should be left holding this shit bag, better them than retirement funds.

These numbers show that OpenAI is boned. They have no path to profitability and if they raise prices or cut services they will strangle their golden goose. They could have existed indefinitely as a service layer that was reliant on other co
