The music was breathtaking here - I'd absolutely pay for a version of it. Really solidified the experience

It’s not the media’s fault that the initial executive order was an ambiguous mess that threatened the livelihoods of immigrants all across the country.

One does not need to be a sock puppet to believe that the justification for this ban is shaky at best. Every social media network does basically the same thing as Tiktok and the government has produced no compelling evidence for the ban. Th

This law has pretty big free speech implications which seems potentially controversial on the legal front IMO

The third option here is writing type stubs for the library, which you can sometimes find community versions of as well. They’re not too time consuming to write and generally work well enough to bridge the gap

Is there something unique or special about the private keys that are guessed? This seems like an incredibly wasteful allocation of compute (which wouldn’t be surprising given that it’s bitcoin but still)

> We have saved millions with hardcore anti-smoking campaigns. I don't agree with them, but they cured millions none the less. Can you expand on that last bit? Why don’t you agree with them?

I get the point you’re trying to make, but Counterstrike is a free to play game. You might be thinking of Call of Duty?

I'm not saying that you should believe they do, but it's pretty common for companies to act like they do and given how common that kind of loyalty talk is, it doesn't surprise me that people do

A search engines principle job is to provide you with links you can find the answer to your question. The LLMs are ingesting all of that content en masse and would provide you the answer directly, with no compensation to the writers who act

> an AI that would otherwise save humanity. Just to clarify, this is sarcasm right?

by gizmo385 3y ago
I feel like the “Terminator Judgement Day” scenario is a strawman more often than not. There are reasons to push for the safe and responsible development of AI that aren’t based on the belief that AI is literally going to launch the nukes.

I have to say, it gets really old seeing this sentiment on HN anytime a post about older technology gets made. We absolutely can and do make technology designed to last this long - it’s just that the vast majority of us don’t work on anythi

Even assuming those costs were _only_ employees and don't include licensing costs, contract costs for major voice talent, etc then you're still looking at about 1,000,000 per employee over the course of the games development. If a
