It'll get rooted over the uplink/WiFi/BT long before that. Probably even more likely for non-SDVs.

> used most of the time with a motive to downplay the abilities and faculties of AI models Exactly. We're dancing around the real argument: there's massive amounts of influencing going on (and not only about AI.)

We're not asking the model to simplify something, we're asking it to perform a task. Its subtle preferences show up as an overcomplicated path to the goal. In some cases, there are also nuances that we don't pick up on. Here

> massively overcomplicates almost all work People with high IQ often do this IRL. There's training tension in this area. Intelligence and overcomplication correlate and are hard to extricate.

If new free projects had to have a "100% artisanal" pledge I wouldn't even consider starting one. Hand-crafting the core design is still superior. Not delegating the grunt work for copy-paste level stuff is just wasting time,

We went from opt-in zones to opt-out zones. Living spaces with curtains drawn and the inside of your vehicle should really be opt-in though.

Another strategy that's often used is to cause motion then detect the resulting transmission spike. That's also defeatable of course (cache+burst, CBR, etc). The ideal detector should incorporate multiple methods. Someone should m

Likewise. I can't help but wonder how many people they're expecting to switch to enshittified reddit or to log in after this change. Maybe 1% will? I'm not installing a browser plugin. I'll just take a vacation until the

Exactly. And it's not only about whether a specific job is safe from AI, but whether it's safe from the effects of those that aren't safe: competition from laid off people and downward wage pressure. Then there's the bac

I'm curious and would like to see those reports. There's AI scraping for sure, but intentionally resource-consuming, increasingly-insidious AI scraping I've never actually read about. AI scraping might be bad, but if a partic

There's something missing from the picture. The bots are: - Using a terribly inefficient way to redownload the same commits as e.g. HTML diffs, possibly the most inefficient. - Putting in tons of CPU cycles to surpass the Anubis PoC.

I wouldn't even feel comfortable cloning from it, let alone contributing. If you decide to host your project there, please mirror it somewhere sane as well.

This is one of the better posts I've seen on HN. The comments that are putting it down are not from readers that engaged it a whole lot.

Claude, please write a paper proving Dunning-Kruger is false. I'm not an expert, but you'll have no difficulty finding sources as it's clearly 100% false.

I'm not arguing that it's great. I'm arguing that the future of human work in this area will be limited to dealing with the cases when it isn't great, i.e. the pile on your desk. Choosing the best model and highest effor

Is there any indication that it was a mini/fast/older model, or on a low effort level? My read of the reactions above is "ugh AI", not "ugh AI on the cheap". Not a single poster mentioned model or effort choice

by gruntled-worker 2mo ago
That's my point, we won't bother reading it. We'll let agents read it. People will eventually stop getting ticked off at this stuff. One exception: if the model is poor or on 'low' and that leads to a crappy report.

Until ~2000, "cellphone user in public" equated with "smug asshole." We're at that icky rejection stage with AI. Two years ago, that writeup would have been viewed as a generous gift of time to the community. Now we

The Wikipedia version is simplified, but it bears mentioning that as written, it's going to be slower than the trivial version for most N's on 1983 compilers and systems. Fixed: register n = (count + 7) >> 3; switch

Not surprising to see the WSJ skipping the surveillance angle entirely. Aside from classic sport cars and to a lesser extent manual transmissions, I've never even heard about someone preferring old models until surveillance started rol

No complaints about this in particular, but code that uses setjmp/longjmp often has a risk profile that's way bigger than memory safety alone. If you're stuck with them then by all means, mitigate all you can.

Thought experiment: what if you used AI in the sort of situation where you would consider adding an external dependency? The differences between the two are obvious, but the level of delegation is not that different. One difference is that
