You seriously overestimate the average user. There is a reason why 123456 is still a common password. I would not expect a grandma to know how to put a key on her phone and use it …

The cost of healthcare is unlikely due to data management cost. That is almost an absurd comment. The cost to develop a drug is in the billions. Manufacturing costs are in the tens…

Maybe we can start with heavy penalties for whoever responsible for these breaches? The users are irresponsible, but at the higher levels, the company can afford to tighten access …

Those on HN are considered extremely tech-savvy and security aware and yet we are still concerned about our accounts getting compromised like this. What can a random user like our …

You too? I got the same. But then again, my account is constantly under attack anyway. At least previously they were smart enough to not trigger 2FA. Now even the incompetents are …

To be honest, if the power and internet go out, not much would be left, including meat-based technologies such as elbow grease. Can't power the amount of bloodsacks we have with en…

Turn out the ancient wisdom of drinking and bathing in the blood of virgins had some truth to it... Seriously though, I don't know how effective this is. What they did appeared to …

I think sometimes it is good to zoom out a little bit and look at things on a higher level. The LLMs are not an organic creature. It doesn't in any shape or way relate to a human b…

Ok here it is. An LLM with physical senses. They mentioned sense of touch and I think that is a big deal. You can teach me all you want about a new color with all the text descript…

It is their pride, their nation's representative to the global audience. When people speak of Nintendo, they implicitly acknowledge Japan as a global player in the entertainment in…

The key is they should also entertain and validate your self-worth. A relationship should be of give and take. You are expected to put effort into maintaining it but the same thing…

Wonder how likely is it that this is because of AI taking over the jobs. Sifting through resumes, contacting candidates, schedule some interviews, connect the hiring manager to the…

Um, the Mate60 is ok and all but compared to Apple tech, it is years behind. Apple is undisputedly the best phone on the market right now and the Mate60 isn't anywhere close to a c…

You know, the more I read about these things, the more I realize we are literally getting close to "spells" technology. This is literally an entire paper about constructing a speci…

This is unfortunately very common. "Icky" topics in science are not likely to get funding or published in a good journal. There is a line one must toe and to step out of it, you ne…

Found it, it is a pretty recent paper. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.13449.pdf

I remember there is a study about the alignment cost. Basically the more restrictions and limit you put on a model, the worse its general performance becomes. Things like a ban on …

Am I out of touch? No, it must have been the others who are wrong.

Nice selective quoting. I said in Houston repeatedly and you still try to skip it in the exact same sentence you quoted. If you have to take things out of context to make a point t…

What was the cause of death? Before you start ad hominem attacks, best to get your facts straight. Or maybe you are more concerned with outrage and tribalism than knowing what actu…

Perhaps you can check the big warning sign on the page about the poverty number: > Estimates are not comparable to other geographic levels due to methodology differences that may e…

Is it really affordable to Californians though? Or it is affordable only to the upper class there? Not everyone is making 200-300k a year. If you look at the median household incom…

Because of the job. I took this job thinking the news probably overblow the issues in SF for political reasons, just like how they overblew the issues in Texas from what I experien…

I have lived in Houston and the bay area. Comparing the two, I prefer Houston. Like I said, pay is only ridiculous if you are in software. For the vast majority of other profession…
