1. Ok, so why not keep it that way? 2. But not permanently recorded and stored, searchable and logged for anyone to go back in time. Also , not potentially incorrectly stored and mislabeled as you instead of someone else doing something

1000 images is worth 4miles? Ours cars are atrocious. We can have the most powerful artificial minds imagine 1000 images from simple prompts, and that takes as much energy as moving a human being 4 miles. And that will get more energy effic

Yes, they do work. Pass enough of someone's work through one, such as Pangram with a low FPR, and you can gain confidence. Add in your own intuition plus multiple scans of someone's work, plus any weird claims they make, and you c

Multiple times authors have been asked about AI usage on HN, because readers (rightfully) suspected it was AI written. I don't have a problem with AI written articles, or assisted. But then the authors lie or make ludicrous excuses for

Yes, none of the major economies get rewarded because fossil fuel usage needs to be zero now , already, to avoid catastrophic warming by the end of the century. Do you reward a bull after wrecking a China shop because it decided to at leas

Weird, I put your blog post through Pangram Labs. It said 96% of the article was written wholesale by an AI. So, if you "write like AI" like you claim in a later comment, you are so good at it to accidently hit Pangram's ext

Putin wanted the US military presence in the middle east to be severely crippled, which it is now. He would also want the munitions stockpile to be depleted, which it is now. Though I do agree, not literally every move Trump does is on a st

My contradictory proof: I have been working on an old service with tons of performance issues, from server memory bloat, client graph rendering, excessive network requests, excessive repeat rendering, memory leaks, resource leaks, etc. The

Yes, the world is very aware of how to lose weight. Turns out knowledge doesn't work very well, or rather loses efficacy in certain environments. Individuals can vary in their ability to regulate the hunger response signal they feel, w

I know you are being sarcastic, but for others: I saw one literally yesterday of a game and wildlife officer tasing a man pumping gas. The gas spilled and then caught on fire. The tased man partially caught on fire and fell to the ground ge

You could say the same when applied to games with high RNG and chance, such as Slay the Spire 2, and yet those with real skill do perform far better than those without. Those with skill can clear the highest difficulties more often than tho

Flock has been known to lie and there isn't any reason to believe they are telling the truth. Why would they? There isn't some duty for them to tell the truth in an article. Trying to parse what that sentence means is useless. It

Regardless of usage patterns, oil simply can't go above a certain price or a chunk of the northeast dies in winter. This war is the largest self inflicted wound to the US in history. And Trump is pretending like all is fine because he

Pangram believes this is 100% AI generated. High confidence. If you just used AI to edit your work, then it would say it was human influenced or low confidence, which is contradictory to another comment you claimed.

Might as well base the valuation on SpaceX getting a colony to Alpha Centauri and then billions living there and needing regular SpaceX shuttle services from Sol. Then we could properly value the IPO in the quadrillions. (I know you know th

It's dumber than that. People are shamed for using LLMs at all. So they use them privately, hide them, or disguise their use. They are definitely being used for public projects. But people are afraid of backlash. Look at some of the co

Disappointing such basics of vaccine and disease spread theory have to be explained on HN, and you explained it very well. The US is under such an enormous disinformation campaign. I don't know how we can immunize people against the BS

What that page doesn't tell you is the precedence courts have set for those tests is so high that nearly no one qualifies for them, and thus it is the case that the loans are virtually impossible to discharge even if it means losing yo

Then you don't know anything about the man. He intentionally inhaled large quantities of leaded gas to prove it was safe to on lockers. He would then spend months in Florida recovering from lead poisoning. He knew, and he didn't c

Anyone know what the refresh rate for these displays are, at least with the stock firmware? Reading the datasheets didn't help, though maybe I didn't know what to look for.

Those mechanisms don't work. Unless the driver was a hit and run or DUI, even fatal crashes almost never result in any charges if the driver claimed they "never saw them", especially so against pedestrians. Large vehicles are

LLMs lack context, and I found the more information I provided the better. At some point it was better to just talk to the LLM like I would anyone else. For that matter, LLMs were trained on human speech anyway. It isn't like it was

Cool, the price of solar right now is $30-$85 / MWh, and that range is dependent on whether you got storage included in the bill or not. And that price will only get cheaper, as both the US and China continue ramping up production. Nuc

I remember reading about this then and I am no where near the biomedical field. I almost couldn't believe we are still talking about the same causes of alzheimers 16 years later.

Ok, but that only benefits them. If they actually believe this stuff is so dangerous, they should shut down their company, and use their fortune to buy up/shut down all the others. But of course they don't actually believe that. I

Yes, which is nothing compared to the destruction wrought by oil companies, steel manufacturing, meat production, concrete, energy, and transport. Which have actually destroyed our environment for over a century. With only a slight bend tow

Bizarre to say that. When I have it perform work on a bespoke code base on a niche videogame, in a less commonly used language, is that still "regurgitating stuff"? No, it is impossible for it to have seen this combination of thin

That sounds more like the extractive setup of corporations like IBM, where return/specialist must be maximized against the number of clients that can be juggled simultaneously. Whereas in larger technology firms, yes that happens to so
