In your old comment (which i remembering seeing at time), you seem to recommend scrapy.io and highlight its benefits without disclosing that you're behind it: https://news.ycombina…

genuine question: What is the interpretation of the law such that ICE operations are wholly unlawful, and the military should broadly disobey an order to support/protect ICE operat…

I might missing some context. Just to check my understanding: HMC and Bun aren't a good match anymore because Bun devs use LLM/AI tooling more than HMC? Basically to really level u…

Was this really a Trump campaign promise? Can't find it online credible and genuinely curious. Also tried here https://archive.ph/76zVk

Does the author provide the actual PoC code anywhere? I want to do some testing for mitigations. I see the example code but it seems incomplete. Realistically what are the risks?

It depends. Some antibiotics pass the BBB easier than others. Some are used especially when passage through the BBB is desired.

Aren’t viruses much harder to detect than bacteria? Viruses are generally smaller and are completely inert without a host cell. Bacteria, besides be larger, also have their own met…

What makes a hypothetical brain microbiome so hard to find? I would think that once you’re doing microscopy on brain slices that a biome would show you quite fast. But if you’re st…

When something seems obvious to me but scientists in the field disagree, I usually take this a sign I need to improve my own understanding.

I feel quite strongly that LLMs are not a fad. Something like LLMs will be useful tools to people decades from now. Especially given that a whole generation of students is now usin…

I think by most definitions LLMs can definitely create new things. As much as I can create new things by cobbling together open source projects and answers on stack overflow at lea…

I don't think the author is saying the content LLMs produce is "democratic". They're just saying that they're democratic in the sense that anyone can run them and they have a stron…

> I build "brushes" for refactoring my code every day. Anyone know what the author means by brushes? Also any recommendations for non-Copilot IDE LLM integrations? I've tried a cou…

This seems a pedantic point. In the “not legal” sense I agree since that seems part of a real coup. But it certainly was a “surprise ousting of the current leadership”, which I mea…

What I’d really like to understand is why the board felt like they had to this as a surprise coup, and not a slower more dignified firing. If they gave Altman 1 weeks notice and le…

To zoom in on one part of the post: > Emotion & Empathy > PRIMER: seems to show a level of empathy and emotional understanding. > ChatGPT: can recognize and respond to emotional cu…

Well unlike the brakes situation, the ChatGPT lies are non-physically harmful misinformation and they're only sent directly to the user who presumably should be aware of the ChatGP…

Not sarcasm! Though I agree this also helps build Open AI's moat against competitors... but that doesn't make Altman's statement not true. It's still self-serving, but I think if h…

At the bottom of the ChatGPT prompt it always says: " ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts. " So... is this just a case of user error? Or maybe…

Why not both? I think true AGI super intelligence (a lot smarter than us) does have the potential to destroy humanity, and as the current leader, Open AI seems closest to achieving…

What are the geohot leaks?

Maybe he's just a CEO doing the ethically responsible thing and not the purely self-serving thing for the sake of shareholders? (though as humans, the shareholders have some stake …
