What's truly bizarre is the popularity on this site of questioning someone's own stated experience with finding LLM tools useful. On a site called hacker news, that usually celebrates useful computer tools. I'll never underst

Except that many of the people involved do think of it like a football game, and thus it actually is like one. Of course the researchers and engineers at both OpenAI and Google DeepMind have a sense of rivalry and strive to one up another.

It's very humorous, though not unexpected, to see a reply about revenue numbers to a post that was mainly speaking about Tesla's superior margins.

It is surprising how willing Google is to stretch the truth in the marketing for its AI initiatives. Although it's being compared against 7B models, Gemma "7B" is actually much more than 8B parameters in total.

FWIW, Tesla's market cap is almost 10x BYD's. So the market does not necessarily agree with this assessment. One reason is that Tesla competes exceptionally well in the international luxury car market. BYD pushes a lot of metal at

Props to the founders for trying, but news is a bad business that is already very crowded, so I'm not super surprised.

This may be a well informed take (or not), but it's hard to think he doesn't have an axe to grind when the first sentence is an information-free put down ending in a clown emoji. Would love to see a more neutral analysis.

One thing worth noting is that one minor reason the dollar is very strong now is that the Fed was actually the first central bank to start raising rates. A better title is probably: "Central banks around the world have made a historic

Wow, I have to say I strongly disagree with every single thing you said. Video games are a small niche in the universe of technology products. To use them as a justification for classifying all tech as luxury seems, well, extremely stupid a

Why are the import taxes so high?

The pages are littered with warnings that it's vile, so not sure why the top comment is basically repeating that fact without adding any information.

No, it is clear that that’s Putin’s intention. What on earth are you talking about?

Everyone criticizing the war in the middle east always seems to casually forget that terrorists from this region hijacked airplanes and destroyed the two tallest buildings in the US with them, killing thousands. Did Ukraine do anything like

Exactly, the justification for silencing people based on threats from artists makes no sense and relies on circular logic :) Hopefully now you understand why being quick to deplatform anyone who is mildly controversial is a bad idea and too

What is considered morally decent or “dangerous” nonsense varies wildly from person to person. Why should Spotify apply Neil Young’s set of morals above all others’ to their platform? Because he said so?

by Jonanin 5y ago
I think removing from their platform whoever Neil Young tells them to would be much more of a special relationship. Do you really think Spotify is inclined to deplatform any podcaster because of threats from an artist? That’d just encourage

This isn’t really a plausible root cause. These companies in the U.S. that are supposedly acquiring everyone (and they aren’t: there are record numbers of unacquired unicorns and IPOs recently) were small once too. That just begs the ques

It's not that weird; longer prompts require more compute. This pricing is directly proportional to the total compute required for a query, which scales with the sum of the input and output sequence lengths.

I'm half surprised that this is one of the most upvoted comments, but also not really because the comments for any FB-related article here are typically a race to the fastest dunk. But there is zero substance to this comment. What spec

I'm impressed by the extent to which people actually believe media narratives match reality.

I find it strange that everyone loses their mind at the prospect of IG for kids, but no one bats an eye at the already-released YouTube for kids or TikTok for kids. The latter, of course, is built by a company entirely beholden to the Chine

I think you are reading too much into the exact wording of the OP's comment. You can replace "the internet" with "social media" or even "Facebook" and it still makes sense. Internet platforms for communica

This implies that there were a couple of AI systems that actually beat a radiologist, which I take as extremely promising for the field of AI radiology. Like any domain in applied AI, there will be a lot of approaches that miss the mark, or

why is “benign garbage” (in your completely subjective opinion) “damning”? That implies a certain level of intentional wrongdoing on behalf of FB. What did you expect the typical online social content to look like?

by Jonanin 5y ago
> this transparency report is also damning of the typical content on Facebook, but in a different way. And in what way is that, exactly? I’m not seeing what you’re seeing apparently. It looks fairly benign.

It's fascinating (and really quite unfortunate) how often articles driven by what I'd call "hate upvotes" make it to the front page of HN. We're awash in links to pessimistic anecdotes that suit a narrative driven b

This comment is wrong on nearly every front. 1) No money has been received. USICA ($52b number) has not even been passed through congress yet. 2) 12nm is hardly “outdated”, not every use case requires the most cutting edge node. There is p

Do you have any evidence for this, or are you guessing? Going back to your original analogy about a telephone that calls you, Facebook doesn't preferentially show notifications. They show notifications whenever something happens accord
