Another one that belongs on this list: AI-generated photos in housing listings. You can no longer tell what the property actually looks like, and the images conveniently erase the problem spots you'd only catch in person. False adverti

A small but notable change: Apple now appears to require university verification through UNiDAYS for EDU pricing. Previously, at least in the U.S., you could just use the education store and get the discount without much (if any at all) ver

Some context for people who haven’t followed the full loop: Shazeer was a long-time Google researcher, joined Google in 2000, and was one of the co-authors of “Attention Is All You Need.” He left Google in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. In

Congratulations on the release to the DeepSeek team. An interesting note on the use of CSA and HCA: CSA provides higher-resolution, query-selected memory over 4-token compressed blocks, while HCA provides very low-resolution dense global me

The best way to phrase this would be, information seeking as a form of procrastination itself . I first remember reading this phrasing here on HN and I've been using it for years to explain to others that what I am doing is not "

Both the Golden Record and the Pioneer Plaque were carefully crafted with universality in mind, drawing on fundamental scientific principles understandable by any intelligent civilization. They both shared many similarities. [1][2] >

Your skepticism about the Golden Record is understandable, but its value goes beyond mere practicality—it's a powerful symbol of humanity's hopes, dreams, and curiosity. Sure, the odds of another civilization discovering and fully

Every time this topic comes up on HN, I always like to remind readers about the following: One of my favorite facts ever is that Voyager 1 contains something called the Voyager Golden Record [1]. It has the following quote written: This is

Can confirm, this isn't just an IT thing. Physicians are a prime example—people tend to put doctors on a pedestal, and some doctors start believing they know everything about everything, even when it's clearly outside their wheelh

Great insight—thanks for sharing. It strikes me that bureaucracy is inherently self-perpetuating- once established, it rewards compliance over creativity, steadily shifting the culture until innovation becomes the exception rather than the

I spent time working with Andrej and the rest of the FSD team back in 2020/2021, and we had plenty of conversations on how human visual processing maps onto our neural network architectures. Our approach—transformer-based attention blo

Demon Adam didn’t become standard largely for the same reason many “better” optimizers never see wide adoption: it’s a newer tweak, not clearly superior on every problem, is less familiar to most engineers, and isn’t always bundled in major

For the $20/month subscription: you get 50 generations a month. So it is included in your subscription already! Nice. For the Pro $200/month subscription: you get unlimited generations a month (on a slower que).

The core issue here is the sheer volume of applicants. Microsoft opened 30 new-grad software engineering positions. Care to guess how many applications they got within 24 hours? 1,000? 10,000? Nope. 100,000 applications. In under a single d

Wow, TIL that if you're drafted (and forced to serve against your will), the government can subject you to military law (UCMJ), which limits many of your rights, like the right to a civilian trial by jury. Courts have upheld this bec
