I view this as they are trying to lay bare the disagreements that everyone has about how these models “should” work. People from all different backgrounds and political affiliation…

Does this also use generative AI to create the results?

How do you know you are the first discoverer? Does it highlight this in some way?

This is exactly right. I used to think that execs were like “Super ICs” who knew everything under them. As I’ve moved up in my career I’ve been amazed to find that execs do not kno…

I don’t really understand how this would work. Classified information seems like a law of human nature as long as there is competition: trade, geopolitical, military. As a metaphor…

We need to be both celebrating wins and working harder to improve further. There’s lots to do but this is encouraging to me that it’s possible to reach better outcomes. Let’s keep …

Many managers and senior directors were also laid off.

I grew up in this tiny town of Chester, Virginia and moved to Silicon Valley after college. Seeing this factory and my hometown at the top of Hacker News is blowing my mind.

I had a new years resolution to do a similar practice for writing code. At least 30 minutes per day every night. It's been by far my most prolific year of all time

Agreed! I, probably like many HN readers, tend to over-optimize every part of my life. But life is more than optimization for an output — sometimes the purpose is just the pure joy…

I am also trying to figure out what the average person would do differently with this information. It is cool and good, but I feel like if I wanted to experience any of these I wou…

What in the movie was false?

I would highly recommend the book by Cal Newport, so good they can’t ignore you. It lays out a framework for developing rare and valuable job skills that you can use to navigate a …

But humans thousands of years ago made decisions that make our lives today possible. Aren’t you glad that you had the chance to exist and enjoy your own life? I highly recommend Ia…

I agree. 1 billion years is a lot of research and development time. It only took us a few hundred years to go from agricultural society to spacefaring. 10 million X that amount of …

No this is an actual AI.

If you look out long-term, 2030s and 2040s, this is where all of this is likely going. Right now the pool of content you might be interested in is constrained to all the content th…

Right, this is an incredible clever headline. I visualized a ship, screaming at the top of their lungs, but sinking just before getting within earshot

I think the unique potent combination is worldwide real-time sample set (there is always something awful happening somewhere) + optimized yellow journalism (clickbait outrage headl…

Agree. This study is assuming the intent of the feature is to remove those types of videos. In reality the intent is to use it as one of many signals to make better ML recommendati…

Right, I think this is world’s tallest website, not world’s highest

It’s not “making people suffer”. It is having high expectations for performance that A-players and teams can easily hit. If companies are going to survive during a crisis time when…

This is exactly what they are doing with one improvement: instead of firing, they are allowing attrition to happen naturally. That’s better than layoffs
