I think like every field this revolution reveals the cracks, good teachers use AI to enhance teaching material and experience for students while weak teachers complaint they can't keep up with student's access to Ai that out-paces

And a meta-point on top of the objectively better revenue argument swinging back to the other point about honor: if some or even most of the people involved in the honor system believe it works for the purpose of maintaining honor between e

And what I find fascinating is I see similar mimicking by my 5 year old. Perhaps we shouldn’t be so quick to call this a lack of being genuine. Sometimes emotions are learned in humans but we wouldn’t call them fake. I don’t want to declare

Replace apple with nothing. Replace now with always. Replace ads on with nothing. You now understand news. News is a scam. It’s called propaganda. We knew this for a long time.

Because google search and llm teams are different, with different incentives. Search is the cash cow they keep squeezing for more cash at the expense of good quality since at least 2018, as revealed in court documents showing they did that

I'm so sorry that's the situation in your country. Another answer to your message from Germany is pretty close to my experience in France, child protection is way less combative and genuinely invested in what's good for child

I think I might enjoy the CPS scenario... let them call CPS, and wait for CPS to arrive, and then discuss with CPS who is endangering the child, the parent or the school. I'm pretty sure a judge will quickly decide whether their rule m

Because once you figure out the correct way to handhold, you can automate it and the tediousness goes away. It’s only tedious once per codebase or task, then you find the less tedious recipe and you’re done. You can even get others to do th

But the way they learn to be wise in the context of using LLMs is to try using them and fail, just like all learning experiences. Companies insisting on the use of these tools seems logical to me when the assumption is that they will, once

how do you know what you want if you didn't write a test for it? I'm afraid what you want is often totally unclear until you start to use a program and realize that what you want is either what the program is doing, or it isn'

exactly, the more interesting question: would anyone be willing to prosecute a Meta executive over this? Sadly, I expect no.

I’m not sure lacking comprehension of a comment and choosing to ignore that lack is better. Or worse: asking everyone to manually explain every reference they make. The LLM seems a good choice when comprehension is lacking.

Because stock prices and the people's interests they reflect only care about immediate returns that allow investors to then dump those returns into the next immediate returning investment again, to maximize return with no consideration

I totally agree, but also wonder how to fight against this cancer. It seems to me like it’s a natural state of groups of people to devolve into this kind of group as the group grows in size. Are we simply doomed to failure?

I think the argument against comments is that while function names are a necessary form of communicating intent of the code, comments aren’t. The more forms there are the more work there is to update on each change in the code. Comments mea

Db changes are generally at runtime, how would you recompile rust code during the save of the data to the db? How do you rollback the change if a compile fails? How do you add the necessary code to handle new cases of the enum but not have

For my parents: “under utilities” means it’s mostly impossible to use. What does under mean? What are utilities, are they different from apps? Can I Google search that? Where is connections? What is a connection, is that like a friend? Glad

Ask a modern LLM to write an API for a book store... pretty sure it'll be close to, if not better, than the quoted part of your comment. It's hard to argue with the drastic jump in LLM capabilities.

Of course that’s the strategy. It’s called enshitifcation. Cory Doctorow coined the term and has many cool examples like this in his related speeches and blog posts.

moshi by Kyutai seems to have beaten your approach by about 500ms, and they're going to release open source. https://www.youtube.com/live/hm2IJSKcYvo hn discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com

However it does offer similar features to rewind.ai, no recording of apps on a blocklist and no recording of private browsing mode. This feels like a pretty fair compromise of privacy vs. functionality.
