The alignment problem goes deeper than that. "Lower our carbon emissions to zero as soon as possible" could result in AI turning off all electricity to stop traffic, turning off gas supply to stop heating and industry, etc. Unalig

The biggest chunk is in the Netherlands, but you want your gold also in other countries, so that you can still access is (and don't loose it) in case of an invasion. Hence almost half is in North America, a completely different (and (s

It's easier to sell gold in the UK because of certain laws they have.

I'm using tailscale to tunnel from an hetzner vm to my home, so that the vm can use my home connection for certain traffic. Traverses NAT and GNAT. It just works: connect devices and they immediately show up in their portal. Most confi

New joiners are required to eventually adopt. Only members that were so before the Euro are exempt.

Modern-ish houses have mechanical ventilation, then you don't need vents. Old houses don't, so you need to get ventilate the passive way.

I'm highly gifted, which has overlap with many autism traits. Maybe something to look at.

I do this as well. I scan the titles (not just HN, but all my rss feeds combined) and only read what grabs my interest.

On Android you can still patch the YouTube apk with Revanced and get rid of ads (and you can enable sponsorblock, etc).

I also got out of the article that we shouldn't let people work who shouldn't work (the water as a resource vs labor as a resource comparison). That implies those people are provided for in a different way than wages.

Have you seen profits lately? The money is going to the shareholders. You hardly see it in the products you buy (they're the same, just more expensive) or in your wage going up. This is not (just) AI, but generally speaking that's

I listen to radio a lot. NTS, FIP, Concertzender. It's a great way to discover new music and have some human presence. Recently a DJ with excellent music taste and a deep radio-perfect voice died. I was devastated when I got the news.

Right now the article reads as "AI can play doctor if you give MRI scans". If the author would actually go for a second opinion (maybe bring along the AI to let it explain it's findings), then the article could read as "

There was an article on HN a few weeks ago where someone detailed how they managed to get an old datacenter GPU to run in their consumer PC, getting decent performance with qwen. He spent something like $200 on the GPU (second hand of cours

Wow, totally forgot I've used this rss reader in the past. Happy to still it's still rocking and stronger than ever! Ps: love the statement "it's like podcast, but for reading".

First iPhone didn't have support for 3rd party apps. Steve Jobs even explicitly spoke about wanting to have all 3rd party things run in the browser. Only when jailbreaking and custom apps got very successful, Apple introduced official

So maybe now the advice could be to build a passable mvp and then use that to figure out the product-market fit. It's a lot easier to think about it and discuss it with others when the product is tangible instead of just an idea. Bigge

This is the third HN post I read on this topic. Everytime the same tweet (or whatever it's called for mastodon/bluesky/etc). Did anyone actually debug the issue? Was it caused by poorly generated code, or was it caused a genu

AI has no taste, so I suspect the labs just gave it a bunch of decent looking boilerplate as preferred style. When you bring your own ideas you can get AI to dev pretty nice looking non-generic stuff.

I work with stakeholders that come from different backgrounds (different countries, non-engineers). No way that we can get aligned using just text. Or if we try, it will take a tremendous amount of back and forth, annoying everyone in the p

Yes. As someone else points out: the techniques for this exist (and have existed for decades). It was never worth it to fully pursuit it, especially for more messy human-heavy processes. Now with AI you can get way more detailed (AI can int

I suggest to hope less. The world order we knew is upended and it's likely to stay that way. Better to spend energy shaping that into something that is acceptable, then hoping it will all go away once DT is gone.

You can put a limit on token spend and provide training (and even pre-configured workflows) on how to limit token spend. Like the other commenter said: cloud spend can also spin out of control if you don't pay attention, yet we've

Ask them to share their prompt instead. Calls them out on their AI bs and gives a way forward to share what they actually thought.

I am working with agentic AI on industrial manufacturing data. The speed at which you can get insights and dig into all kinds of rabbit holes is insane. It's just as easy to compare plants so you can make strategic decisions on budget

The exact outcome depends on the country's specific laws, but generally speaking, there is protection. In the Netherlands you get up two years paid sick leave, before your employer can fire you. If you are sick enough to not be able to

I used to do lots of data engineering in Python, then started doing all kinds of engineering in primarily Go. The Go ecosystem for data is very limited. There are no widely supported dataframe libraries (like the og pandas and the newer pol

If you're at a stage where code doesn't compile and doesn't do what you want, then that's really easy to improve. - let the llm (agent) compile the code and iterate until it does. - state your intent more clearly.

This implies that the government respects the rules or at the very least pretends to do so. To me it's pretty clear that the US federal government has moved beyond that.
