Genuinely curious…is it rare because there are less kidnappers, or because parents are more vigilant and there is less opportunity for them to commit the crime?

Jet engines are significantly more complex. You don’t know whah you are talking about.

As someone in the industry it is amusing to watch HN do some cursory googling and then make definitive statements with confidence.

I would argue that testing code is “Risk Mitigation” not “Risk Management”. It is nuanced, but at least in large Systems Engineering orgs, Risk Management is typically a different thing entirely. It entails documenting known risks, evaluati

If he already knew how to code in other object oriented languages, and was really just learning C++ syntax over the weekend, it’s not as much of a stretch.

I would buy one today if I had somewhere to reliably and conveniently charge it. I live in an apartment complex without charging infrastructure. Don’t want to drive to nearby charging station and wait/coordinate rides to and from. My p

Not sure why, but I found this gave me a lot of anxiety. I think maybe the focus and fine motor control needed to keep the ball within the lines…

I’m assuming the generative AI functions are not running purely locally and would be sharing your data to Microsoft/OpenAI ?

When I was younger I routinely worked late nights (I’d work normal business hours, then go grab a subway and come back to the office and work until 10-12. I enjoy working alone at night, and I wasn’t using that free time productively, so I

If you are using the OpenAI APIs then are all your user’s emails making it onto their servers?

Any references for this? I would like to read further.

I agree. I am currently stuck in a rut where everything seems meaningless, and I can’t find the motivation to do much of anything. I desperately yearn for a meaning/purpose to serve as a source of internal motivation… Up until now, the

Yea, ruined the experiment. Not that someone else couldn’t recreate it…

Anyone that actually cares about the privacy of their data isn’t going to be satisfied with just a “promise”.

Some of the anecdotes seem completely fabricated to provide a convenient example (i.e. the guy’s wife was very observantly watching him play a round of golf with a colleague and caught him cheating?)

I really don’t understand why we as a society have found it acceptable to experiment like this on other sentient beings for our own advancement. Why are these animal lives worth less than ours? Just because we are more “advanced”? Killing a

I feel that children have no obligation to take care of their elderly parents. They don’t owe them anything. The alternative seems more insane to me.

True video capability would entail describing a scene as a prompt and getting a video in return. Not interpolating between a handful of images as is being done now (not to discredit those). This will be a huge game changer when it occurs. W

My therapist mentioned the same thing to me recently so I suppose it is worth investigating further. I had never considered it before that, probably due to lack of understanding of what ADD/ADHD is (when I was growing up the stereotype

I’d be interested to hear more. I have come to realize that I am very self centered, but I can’t quite figure out why. I tend to get very caught up and focused on what is going on in my life and never stop to think about others. It is more

I have had to deal with at least one of those things. It still doesn’t change my opinion. I feel that it is ethically wrong to enslave and torture animals for humanities benefit. If that means that I will die from a disease that would have

I guess I don’t understand why it is considered morally acceptable to torture countless animals for the benefit of humanity. I understand it from a purely utilitarian standpoint, but it doesn’t sit well with me ethically. I wouldn’t want an

Or we halt the research until computational models become viable. You make it seem like we have no choice but to test on animals. I’m sure that is how the researchers rationalize it to themselves.

Interesting last thought. I have long wondered whether our brains are fully “deterministic”, but I assume that would be nearly impossible to verify for a device with such complex state and varied input.

That has literally nothing to do with it. What is the purpose of speculating here? It is because they needed a two seat aircraft for filming.
