My mistake on vaccine vs. cure. so have AI make a cure instead

Shipbuilding is but one proxy for China’s dominance in industrialization. A more relevant one for AI is: China has built more energy capacity in the last 4 years than the USA has built in the last 150. AI is increasingly limited by power. F

“It’s too late” is a logistical issue IMO. In this article, virus production is totally decentralized and fast, but vaccine production is centralized and slow. Why?

So somehow AI is able to magically create 100 lethal viruses with no logistical issues but is not able to make a cure due to logistical issues?

well they didn't really die on the hill. the NYT headline is still "OpenAI says it has cracked one of math's millennium problems" and the whole article doesn't mention this controversy. Normies don't know what

IMO this link proves the poster’s point. We are passing 1-2 laws a week. So far the 119th congress has passed 104 laws 100 years ago, the 69th congress passed over 1500 laws, plus hundreds of continuing resolutions, treaties, etc https:&#x

from my friends in sales, sales perspective could be: going from meeting to meeting just getting yelled at. - previous customer yells at you for not delivering required features. You ask the engineer about the status of that feature - engin

That sounds super awesome, but I think college students are always going to find a way to shirk work. For example, in your proposal, plenty of college students would just get another AI to talk to the test administration AI (think Cluely)

Deleted my Instagram account. This should be a bigger international story, but most people outside HN won’t hear about it and won’t understand why this is such a big deal

They probably did limit it somewhat, but to 99.99% lower value accounts. This isn’t the top story of international news because a former president got “hacked”, not Trump, Elon, etc. that literally set national policy via social media post

I definitely found the thesis insightful. The actual content stopped feeling insightful to me in the “What uv drops” section, where cut features were all listed as if they had equal weight, all in the same breathless LLM style

It’s explicitly not testing if you can synthesize insulin in a crisis, it’s a general aptitude test for “if we tell you you need to cram this textbook on how to synthesize insulin by next week and then ask you how to do it on a call, can y

I don’t see the value in condescending here. I think the person you’re responding to highlighted an interesting question/point of confusion of whether digital exhibits are on average more or less expensive than physical exhibits in bot

Yep I own a rocking chair that my great great grandfather built on a lathe and a dining table my grandfather built. Meanwhile I’ve eventually had to replace almost everything I’ve bought from IKEA.

Not OP but one is kind of interesting. It’s the “I said yes” posts with picture of engagement ring that are a 0 to me

This was a fun prompt. I learned things from the models. Gemini 2.5 was wayy better than gpt5 here even though quite incomplete in the first response

Are we sure these billions of queries are “successful” for the actual user journey? Maybe this is particular to my circle, but as the only “tech guy” most of my friends and family know, I am regularly asked if I know how to turn off Google

Tough crowd. I would say >50% of the time I try to use a water fountain, it’s broken. Does that mean that humans have only brute forces a way to build water fountains sometimes?

This is especially true because the (very good) post addresses both points that this commenter raises and _so much_ more. It's really shocking how few people in this comment section seem to have read the (again, very good) OP. It'

Okay fair enough about it not being a perfect analogy. I think the reason junior devs get them confused is that many junior devs are never taught anything about either in school. But then you just tell the junior dev that they mean differen

I don’t think they are almost identical, they just have the same prefix. “Login” and “permission” each have the same problem: “login” is very similar to “logging”, and “permission” shares a prefix with “persistence” (or permanent). Ultimate

Yes it does. Whiteboarding requires a free add-on (e.g. FigJam, Miro) but you can add that in-call
