Here in Latvia, anything the government ever sends you of any importance is cryptographicaly signed. Not bulletproof, but that should be a baseline we demand in this age.

I don't get it. You build a model capable of finding vulnerabilities and give it a way to manipulate real systems. What could go right? What's the desired outcome here? Only hacking for the good guys? Does no one really notice how

Also, extinction is WAY nicer than the cattle treatment.

All this fluff around alignment is intended to conceal the plainly obvious: it's not solvable. Who do you want it aligned with? Sam Altman? Dario Amodei? Donald Trump? Xi Jinping? That's more or less the entire list of options. Wh

The idea that we are in danger of erroneously ascribing consciousness to AI sounds wild to me. Humans always assume whatever is convenient about other beings' (lack of) subjective experience as long as we have power over those beings.

> How much would you pay to have access to a smarter version of yourself? Call me obsolete, but I'd pay to interact with an intelligence that's as dissimilar to me as possible so I myself can grow from that interaction. The exi

Sorry, I understand scraping is a problem, but talking about open Internet while simultaneously complaining you can no longer discriminate datacenter IPs like you used to is hypocrisy. I use a datacenter-based IPv6 address because my local

Around last fall it started chronically lagging in SOTA models support. Honestly, not sure why a code update is even needed for that. Eventually it'd get patched but it just wasn't quick enough for me. Other development seems to h

This reminds me of the workflow I had a year ago. Miss Aider so much. Are there any good open source agents right now? Might be a good time to try one soon as Fable switches to token-based billing, which Code is designed to maximize.

Yep.

It's disappearing. Even if models stop evolving tomorrow, there's still enough potential in the harness improvement to reach the point where anything 99% of us know about software engineering is useless. How many humans will be in

How about fixing whatever the hell prevents competitive private LLM vendors from appearing in Europe?

Sounds like calling those model "open source" did its wicked job. You can not take an open weight model and build a next-generation model using that as a foundation. Once those companies decide it's no longer in their intere

The new tricks seem to be "ultrathink" and "you are a rock star software architect". That's not the stuff careers are made of.

I don't care as much about LLMs deprecating my accumulated knowledge. After a quarter of a century in the industry I have plenty of stuff in my head of purely sentimental value. But for me, the real catastrophe is that they took away a

Personally, I don't know a place more hyped up about AI than HN. It turned from my daily dose of tech excitement into a daily dose of tech anxiety. As for your argument, there's no such thing as elegance. Code "elegance"

I've recently found myself unable to finish articles that take more than a paragraph to announce their point. But starting with "Your life’s goal should be" is a level of boldness I wasn't prepared for.

I had human teachers who did that in middle/high school. Took me many years to pick out all the hallucinated bits of "knowledge". I don't think the current models are any less reliable that what we currently have on aver

I've tried switching from JetBrains IDEs just a few days ago. The speed and memory footprint are very impressive. I ended up badly missing refactorings and some other features and configuring a debugging session looked like something t

Satoshi is a paper billionaire - he can't use a small fraction of his "wealth" to hire proper security. Simultaneously his "assets" are much more attractive to criminals. Imagine holding a regular billionaire hostag

The real winner in this war is Israel. Iran's military might is now a shadow of its former self while all the costs have been paid by someone else: American taxpayers, gas consumers around the world, Arab states. Even the political cos

Not a mental health crisis like the guy in TFA had, but I've definitely experienced states I would characterize as overexcitement while calibrating my expectations of these new tools to their abilities.

It was close enough for me and I do acknowledge the cruelty and abstain from many kinds of meat. I was super excited when I tried it first. But after about a year of being part of my regular diet it started being disgusting unfortunately. N

It may indeed be the case that the candidate promised one thing and the voters acting irrationally (or correctly assuming he's a liar) voted with an expectation of him doing the exact opposite. The GP, however didn't say anything
