I view this as they are trying to lay bare the disagreements that everyone has about how these models “should” work. People from all different backgrounds and political affiliations completely disagree on what is inappropriate and what is n

Does this also use generative AI to create the results?

How do you know you are the first discoverer? Does it highlight this in some way?

This is exactly right. I used to think that execs were like “Super ICs” who knew everything under them. As I’ve moved up in my career I’ve been amazed to find that execs do not know all the details of what’s happening or where the problems

I don’t really understand how this would work. Classified information seems like a law of human nature as long as there is competition: trade, geopolitical, military. As a metaphor imagine if a game like chess required zero classified infor

We need to be both celebrating wins and working harder to improve further. There’s lots to do but this is encouraging to me that it’s possible to reach better outcomes. Let’s keep bending the curve!

I grew up in this tiny town of Chester, Virginia and moved to Silicon Valley after college. Seeing this factory and my hometown at the top of Hacker News is blowing my mind.

I had a new years resolution to do a similar practice for writing code. At least 30 minutes per day every night. It's been by far my most prolific year of all time

Agreed! I, probably like many HN readers, tend to over-optimize every part of my life. But life is more than optimization for an output — sometimes the purpose is just the pure joy and fun of doing it. Projects like this are a great reminde

I am also trying to figure out what the average person would do differently with this information. It is cool and good, but I feel like if I wanted to experience any of these I would still go buy on Amazon Prime video or pull it up on Spoti

I would highly recommend the book by Cal Newport, so good they can’t ignore you. It lays out a framework for developing rare and valuable job skills that you can use to navigate a fast changing tech landscape. It has been immensely helpful

But humans thousands of years ago made decisions that make our lives today possible. Aren’t you glad that you had the chance to exist and enjoy your own life? I highly recommend Ian McCaskill‘s recent book “ what we owe the future.” He make

I agree. 1 billion years is a lot of research and development time. It only took us a few hundred years to go from agricultural society to spacefaring. 10 million X that amount of progress and we can either fix the sun, move the earth, or r

If you look out long-term, 2030s and 2040s, this is where all of this is likely going. Right now the pool of content you might be interested in is constrained to all the content that has been made. But there may be better content that does

Right, this is an incredible clever headline. I visualized a ship, screaming at the top of their lungs, but sinking just before getting within earshot

I think the unique potent combination is worldwide real-time sample set (there is always something awful happening somewhere) + optimized yellow journalism (clickbait outrage headlines with metrics). This combination is the difference betwe

Agree. This study is assuming the intent of the feature is to remove those types of videos. In reality the intent is to use it as one of many signals to make better ML recommendations. Oftentimes, there are also differences in revealed and

It’s not “making people suffer”. It is having high expectations for performance that A-players and teams can easily hit. If companies are going to survive during a crisis time when the whole world is facing headwinds, there is no margin for

This is exactly what they are doing with one improvement: instead of firing, they are allowing attrition to happen naturally. That’s better than layoffs

I think the larger takeaway is that the level of protection needs to scale up with the value of the contents, and he unfortunately did not keep up. The value of those games has gone into the millions recently, so this setup was not sufficie

Take the ego, judgment, and “how things should be” out of it. This is about how to effectively get results as the sender. And it works. We all have this choice of principle versus effectiveness. If you would like to go with the strategy of

I have always had a similar train of thought around zombie apocalypse fiction. If there was a mass zombie outbreak it would be totally solved within five years. Houses would be reinforced with zombie proof doors and walls. Weapons would be

Same. If today is my last day, I am sure as hell not going to work (even though I love my career). I am driving to have a huge party and spend every minute with my family. My conclusion has been to not take the time scale literally. I find

Agree. This article is saying Head content is still king. That is true. But The Long Tail wasn’t necessarily about the long tail being bigger than head. It was that long tail was viable at all. I don’t see how anyone can argue against there

I love how this follows the TED talk playbook: 1: “Here is a thing you are all familiar with” 2: “What if we thought about it DIFFERENTLY?” 3: “Here is the new yet intuitive way to think about it” 4: (Applause. Audience leaves with a easy-t
