A depressing finding. The unfortunate reality seems to be the 'market' is pretty small for these hotlines. We need to solve the underlying issues of loneliness

No one serious is worried about American solvency. The paper says 50% over the next 10 years, but even most economists misunderstand how the monetary system works. There are so many other issues to worry about at the moment more immediate t

Getting lost isn't fun. I resent the people who say so. In many places in the world, a missed exit on a freeway can take you 20-30 minutes or more from your destination, with no chance of turning around. There is an art to wandering, f

The idea that language models can write anything remotely useful yet is - mostly - a fallacy. It's a good idea for many human endeavors to be able to identify AI writing. Communication, after all, is our main way of building the social

I think AI will be one of the great equalizers in this respect. It was very common at the time of the founding of the USA for the law to be understandable enough for a 'common' person with a couple of years of study and apprentice

It could also be fraud, because they are not marking to market the true value of the loans / assets. Bad news bears.

Absolutely appalling behavior. The exposure is small, but it is - quite literally - socializing their credit losses. $1T in exposure is not large - but an implosion would mean a 8-14% haircut on life insurance policies. The reality would li

Can someone not super-AI-pilled explain to a reasonable lay person why this matters? It seems like the comments here are a mix of: * The test was irresponsibly designed and protected * The model was particularly persistent in finding a way

You need to resubmit this with a better headline: People prefer scrolling to sex enough that using the iPhone explains up to half of the U.S. birth decline since 2011.

I recently heard that a trip to Popeye's for a family of 3 recently cost $68 in Florida. In Japan, there's a big issue when a snack raises its price 2 cents (3 yen - source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/japa

Rough - this is an ugly article, because like Ayn Rand it has the illusion of truth. A bit like saying "Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others." Meritocracy is doubtless a fallacy, as anyone who has atten

Possibly. They've tried it with cars (previously the 'pinnacle' of human tech and engineering) and they've basically lost the game, which they led. Agree with your assessments on culture and finance though. Thanks for th

You really look at my original comment and think - "yeah that deserves a BIIIIG round of downvotes?" And then I come back and engaged and then you think I'm digging myself in a hole? I'm having a substantive debate on a

You are right - it's the DSA that makes you publish your contact information publicly if you're a trader.

Mate if you're going to cherry pick about "markets and alignment" -> More people have died in the EU from heat waves due to lack of air conditioning than gun violence in the US. Ratio is worse if you remove suicide gun d

Obviously a caricature, but you must engage with the substance of the underlying issue. If you have watched the EU's approach to U.S. tech cos (DMA, DPA) you can see a trend of increased regulation; to where it's not worth sometim

His reading of the letter of the law is probably right. Enforcement is a big question, but they'll hold their judgment given how mad they are generically at U.S. Tech cos. Source: worked with EU regulators on privacy.

Thanks for engaging. People weaponizing the downvote here without good faith discussion is disappointing but expected on HN recently. It's OK, you can take my HN points. > The EU has a tremendous number of smart software engineers.
