In your old comment (which i remembering seeing at time), you seem to recommend scrapy.io and highlight its benefits without disclosing that you're behind it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46088621 seems like th

I might missing some context. Just to check my understanding: HMC and Bun aren't a good match anymore because Bun devs use LLM/AI tooling more than HMC? Basically to really level up a system is incompatible these tools? (IYHO) Th

Does the author provide the actual PoC code anywhere? I want to do some testing for mitigations. I see the example code but it seems incomplete. Realistically what are the risks?

It depends. Some antibiotics pass the BBB easier than others. Some are used especially when passage through the BBB is desired.

Aren’t viruses much harder to detect than bacteria? Viruses are generally smaller and are completely inert without a host cell. Bacteria, besides be larger, also have their own metabolic processes and distinct structures you can do things

What makes a hypothetical brain microbiome so hard to find? I would think that once you’re doing microscopy on brain slices that a biome would show you quite fast. But if you’re still optimistic after a negative search I assume there must b

When something seems obvious to me but scientists in the field disagree, I usually take this a sign I need to improve my own understanding.

I feel quite strongly that LLMs are not a fad. Something like LLMs will be useful tools to people decades from now. Especially given that a whole generation of students is now using/relying on them for course work. Even if we want to c

I think by most definitions LLMs can definitely create new things. As much as I can create new things by cobbling together open source projects and answers on stack overflow at least.

I don't think the author is saying the content LLMs produce is "democratic". They're just saying that they're democratic in the sense that anyone can run them and they have a strong open-source community behind them

This seems a pedantic point. In the “not legal” sense I agree since that seems part of a real coup. But it certainly was a “surprise ousting of the current leadership”, which I mean when I say coup.

What I’d really like to understand is why the board felt like they had to this as a surprise coup, and not a slower more dignified firing. If they gave Altman 1 weeks notice and let him save face in the media, what would they have lost? Is

Well unlike the brakes situation, the ChatGPT lies are non-physically harmful misinformation and they're only sent directly to the user who presumably should be aware of the ChatGPT limitations. If I share ChatGPT lies as truth, that s

Not sarcasm! Though I agree this also helps build Open AI's moat against competitors... but that doesn't make Altman's statement not true. It's still self-serving, but I think if he was totally willing to lie he'd h

At the bottom of the ChatGPT prompt it always says: " ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts. " So... is this just a case of user error? Or maybe the FTC needs to require a larger font size or ju

Why not both? I think true AGI super intelligence (a lot smarter than us) does have the potential to destroy humanity, and as the current leader, Open AI seems closest to achieving that. Of course superintelligence might be far away or just

My not at all informed opinion: You concern isn’t about some sort of side-effect of the Oxitec treatment, but rather your worry is that their solution does exactly the opposite of what it’s trying to do. Just based on this I’m skeptical. A

I'm pretty sure police are more likely to be shot than any other occupation. Logging is the most dangerous occupation of all, but I don't think any of them die from bullets. In contrast, police lives are at risk in brief high-stak

I picked the above scenario because police calls for domestic disputes are incredibly common. This source[0] says they account for 15% to 50% of all police calls. Hundreds of women are murdered with guns by their intimate partners every yea
