This is one area where I thinks self-report is probably fairly accurate. The study also cites some metastudies of other research that shows the same correlation (I don't have access to see if those are based on self-reports)

But what hardware was the verification vs agents on? Because you are likely comparing verification on a single beefy machine (say XX TFLOPS total) to agents running on a substantial inference cluster (say XXXX TFLOPS). So you're 1 orde

There aren't many situations where biological weapons are useful to nation states, especially ones with global economic and military footprint like the US, because it isn't selective enough about who it targets.

I'm struggling to think of a use for the money that doesn't result in becoming dependent on the money and thus less self-sufficient long term. What did you have in mind with this comment?

You are assuming Apple is applying the same rigor to themselves as app developers. They are not.

I bet you there's a lot of people on HN that 1. want their email on their own domain (for professionalism and portability) 2. Want to use Gmail (it is actually a pretty nice service to use) 3. Don't want to use Google Workspace (e

That is basically just saying "the gmail app can be a smtp/imap client for a 3rd party mail provider". It's not really using gmail as when the gmail app is operating in this mode there's a tone of gmail features

No, Gmail directly sends the email from their own SMTP servers (you have to set up SPF to allow them etc)

Do you see a referral link or code in their comment? No? Then obviously they aren't making money off it.

Pretty crazy to be focused on anything other than your immediate family in after a birth... but not exactly unprecedented when you look at social media posts!

The goal of C2PA is that cameras will start to emit C2PA credentials. You will then have 3 situations: * C2PA confirms a photo is authentic * C2PA confirms a photo is AI generated * C2PA missing, you don't know. I reckon we will only

I think the article meant "ineffective" as in "it didn't save her life", not "it didn't do anything".

A lot of expertise is actually knowing things about the domain. You can't make a good judgement call on a topic without getting relevant knowledge in your head to make that decision. You can't even lookup the relevant knowledge wi

I had this same reaction to past step counters. I keep my phone in my pocket, and it works basically perfectly as a step counter. But then I realized that many people do not keep their phone in their pocket, especially women. For them, a wa

I would be pretty surprised if Amazon insures their package delivery. Do you have a source for them using insurance? Maybe when they use a 3rd party delivery service they can strongarm that service into eating the loss. But, where I am, Ama

My guess is growth alone explains the change. It went from being a niche site that had views representing that niche to a broad site with broad set of views represented in proportion to their prevelance.

If I'm running, say, an e-commerce business, an hour of downtime on my serving-path might cost me $100k of revenue. An hour of downtime for my development stack might cost me 30 person-hours = a few grand. As a result, I'm much m
