RTS requires other computer-type skills that are pretty useless. APM (micro and macro management), changing screen focus quickly, etc. Chess is a great game for removing all those external factors. It's just thinking

I get your overall point, but that’s already a tactic used by attackers, especially in network infiltration. It shouldn’t be a surprise that an LLM would figure out to do the same thing

It's not the compute hardware itself. PCC used to be data centers owned and operated by Apple, running on chips designed by Apple. With this announcement, Apple is expanding the definition of PCC to Google Cloud data centers. Theoretic

I'm replying again because another commenter showed how to link to a comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48456081

Thank you!

Ah thank you for that, the MacRumors article was misleading to not even have mentioned this.

There is a comment in this thread from an alleged Apple employee that said that, but it doesn't seem like it's possible to send a link for a specific comment. Over the years I've seen comments and blogs posted here in Hacker

From my understanding of the architecture, Apple and Google have basically developed a fork of Gemini that is built to run on Apple's PCC. There is no data being sent to any Google servers. From this MacRumors article: "The new ar

There has been anecdotal statements/blogs from Apple employees about the data privacy. They have said building some internal capabilities or user facing features are extremely difficult or impossible because they aren't able to ac

They don't have the cash laying around. Their "actual" profit, meaning money added to their bank account after stock buy backs, dividends, employee stock allocations, and capex was $7B. In this statement, their 2025 capex was

You cherry-picked examples. Counter examples would be: Crowdstrike up 1067% Cloudflare up 1408% Robinhood up 148% For an index fund, I would take a break even or even a slight loss on AirBnb to get those Crowdstrike and Cloudflare returns.

I'm not sure how they are related. USB-C was not really a technical challenge or had trade-offs. I'm not a hardware engineer but from what I've read, having an easily replaceable battery would degrade the water resistance of

I despise the Cook hate from some Apple fans. No he’s not the visionary that Jobs was. But I think he was the best person to scale Apple up to what it is today while still keeping the soul of the company alive.

To me it seems like an LLM-based implementation of automation software like Zapier. The problem with Zapier is you need services to provide APIs and Zapier needs to support those APIs to implement it in the automation workflow. But because

You're absolutely right and the order of operations matters. But I'm not arguing about what's right in this case. If as Dario says, that advanced AI is at the level of nuclear weapons, then governments around the world will s

Potentially. Or the US government can force over control of the technology. It's impossible to predict right now the implications of this technology in 5 years, let alone 10 years.
19.
by tguedes 7mo ago
You're right in those cases. But if what Dario says is true, that advanced AI is on the scale of nuclear weapons, then that is a threat to the power and sovereignty of the government.

by tguedes 7mo ago
That's not what is happening, yet. If this technology is at the scale of nuclear weapons, you don't think the government is going to step in and take control of it?

But that's the problem with this. The vast majority of the spend is going to be on the Nvidia chips which have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They are not making any significant long term investments. During the dot com bubble, telecom com

I was going to comment this exact thing about stacking plates. I think most servers/ex-servers also do this regardless of age. It's even easier to do than returning a shopping cart.

The only downside of this in the US is that homeless people will tend to hang around Aldi's asking people if they can return their cart to get the coin. Most of them are friendly and thankful but every once in awhile an aggressive pers

Still, I think there needs to be a specific term for a company that has recently had a funding round and will likely IPO in the future, like Stripe. That's a different category than a start-up or privately owned company that will never

by tguedes 11mo ago
It already has. Any tech company that is pre-IPO and still raising funding rounds is a "startup". I'm surprised there hasn't been someone to come up with a separate term for the stage of these kinds of companies.

Do you have recommendations? I've been struggling to find a good one since Outdoor Boys shut down.

I think it makes sense in this instance. Because this occurred in us-east-1, the vast majority of affected customers are US based. For most people, it's easier to do the timezone conversion from PT than UTC.

I think what you're trying to reference is APIs or libraries, most of which I wouldn't consider abstractions. I would hope most senior front-end developers are capable of developing a date library for their use case, but in almost

Because if LLM inference is going to be a bigger priority for the majority of companies, they're going to go where they can get the best performance to cost ratio. AWS is falling behind on this. So companies (especially new ones) are g
