The downside with reddit-/hn-style comment is that, while they provide a superior UI for discussions, the liveliness of the discussions have a shelf life of a day. It makes it's hard to get a high quality discussion about new&#x2F

AI music has taken over small businesses like coffee shops and restaurants. AI music drives me nuts because, to me, it still is very much deep in an uncanny valley. That said, I can't blame the businesses because they are all (dis)ince

What are the proper laws and regulations? Can you point me to a proposed framework that you believe is most correct? I have no idea how this stuff should be regulated. I do know that any sort of comprehensive legislation at this point in ti

My comment was in response to the parent's original comment: "Ok so you agree this has not been the norm," which didn't give me much to respond to. It has been edited since.

The AI companies were all asking for the government to regulate them. The government is doing what the companies asked for them to do. You can argue that, by government, they meant some legislative process, but I'd argue that regulatio

Not a fan of the phased release but I do remember when access to gpt-3 was gated and access to gpt-4 had a staged release. ppl are acting like limited release is unprecedented when, in fact, has been the norm until a few years ago.

I became motivated to read Russian literature after Norm Macdonald died, knowing how much influence it had on him and chasing more of his voice. Reading Brothers Karamazov in Norm's voice made it so much more entertaining. Ironically,

You are correct. The only way to get out of PF valley is by building foot strength. I learned the hard way that mega-squishy hoka bondis are counter-productive to that because of how much cushion they have. That said, proper insoles are the

Man, some of you will invent conspiracy theories to justify some deeply cynical fiction. OAI has been more proactive about doing customer KYC than A\. OpenAI, four months ago, started to require users to verify their identity if they flagge

Never thought to check codebases for AI commits. That's very interesting. Since your comment I have added an option to filter out github submissions that contain commits from an AI assistant. I've implemented it by pulling the las

You're mixing up the numbers. Their annual run rate is $2.4 billion. Revenue grew 140% YoY. That's an 8x sales multiple on good growth. The valuation is not egregious.

You missed filmic. Wow. So these people are the reason why Filmic went overnight from one of my favorite iOS apps to something for the trash heap. my knee jerk reaction is to throw shade at the ppl operating the company but, upon second tho

I built a filter for AI (inclusive and exclusive) for hcker.news a while back and continue to maintain it. It’s quite robust, and does more than just keyword filtering. https://hcker.news/?ai=exclude

Using dependency cooldowns is not a free-rider problem. There's a real tradeoff here – ppl are trading their time preference for security. Just as users are incentivized to avoid malware, researchers and attackers are equally motivated

I generally have not thought about how Dropbox spent its money until I visited the web interface, which has been redesigned for the tenth time over, and remembered that there’s still no way to see how much space your folders are taking up.
