I agree. The frontier models are based on training data from tons of copyrighted work. Some of that work was obtained illegally, even. They could not exist without strip-mining the commons. The labs have no moral or ethical ownership to the

Because "we" embodies a hugely diverse set of beings with different wants, needs, goals, and priorities. Not to mention different morality and ethics. So sure, let's say you get 95% of the world to not use or work on LLMs.

Perhaps things have gotten better over time, but I did this 4 or 5 years ago and it was anything but trivial. I got it working, but it was a huge pain to set up.

> Saying someone is showing signs of mental illness isn't a diagnosis. It's saying someone looks like they need medical attention. That's fair if the target is someone you know and interact with personally. Lazy armchai

Sure, it's not, but it's a term used to describe a wide collection of conditions that are in the DSM. In some ways, asserting that someone has "a mental illness" is worse than saying they have something specific, like

You can have a bad trip on a drug without being addicted, or without having any mental illness whatsoever. Nice try dismissing something someone said for invalid reasons, "pal".

That's not what anyone is saying. There are many classes of human (and non-human) condition where it's best to allow a subject-matter expert to diagnose, and where armchair diagnosticians can do a lot of harm. This is one of the

Hard disagree. Physical ailments like the one you describe are indeed simple to armchair-diagnose, but psychological problems are not that. Even for physical issues, there's a lot of grey. A bone protruding from an arm is one thing,

I think there's also, from some people (sometimes including myself), a negative reaction to armchair diagnoses of mental illness. I think it's a problem because it's a faux medical diagnosis made by someone who is not qualif

Yes, in general that's how I expect (or at least want ) things to work. And I'm a tech-savvy software developer. Your average non-technical user will absolutely expect it to work this way, and if it doesn't, will be at be

I don't want to be the AI-hater guy, but I really like this. It was so much easier to find articles I really wanted to click on. In the first 30 articles I found quite a few, which is unusual for front-page HN these days. There are n

I don't think that follows. It's fine to recognize that something that isn't non-fiction is fiction, and, frankly, that's the only reasonable thing to do, since you can't know what's true and what isn't.

I don't think it's a matter of "feeling smarter" (at least not for me); I don't like most reality TV because the things you mention just don't resonate with me as being interesting or worth watching. I don&#x2

I don't think that's the problem, and I think your "if it can prove..." isn't really accurate. The compile can transform your code if the result of the computations it makes is the same (plus any ordering guarantees

There's a big difference between a human present who can make a decision based on a situation literally in front of their eyes, and a computer flagging a video feed for someone in what amounts to a call center to look at and decide on.

I'm really torn on this. This particular situation, at face value at least, sounds like a good outcome. Kids had a gun, someone noticed, called police, situation handled without escalation or violence or something tragic happening. Bu

> I think people in the tech community have probably also noticed that it's rather popular to have an absolute opinion on the goodness or badness of these tools. I don't think that's necessarily true. Nuance is a thing.

The New York (city?) connection makes sense; it would be difficult to walk around outside in NYC and end up with shoes cleaner than your socks.

The book thing, sure, but I take my shoes off indoors because they are dirty and gross, and I don't want that tracked into my home.

It's still worse; back then you didn't need to register at least a day in advance, and you didn't need a KTN.

Most of the contentious SCOTUS decisions these days are the opposite of that, where they defer to Congress or the executive.

I have a LG TV, but I do not allow it to connect to a wifi network. I don't trust LG, and expect them to do something anti-consumer to my hardware at some point, or to spy on me. This particular failure is a blessing in disguise.

HSTS doesn't protect you from this at all. It only requires HTTPS, which a spoofed-but-trusted cert passes just fine. No mainstream browser (or any browser?) is doing cert pinning. What "other methods" are there that are dep

I love cats, and ours are indoor-only. They are happy, simulated, and in good health. I expect their life expectancy is longer than if they were outdoor cats. They don't have the opportunity to kill birds or other animals. On the other

Many Android phones have the hardware, regardless of where they are sold, but it's disabled for non-Japanese SKUs so the manufacturer can avoid paying the licensing fees for it.

No, the chip is there, gated by a SKU check, so that Google only pays the licensing fees for their Japanese SKU.
