Agree. Same for better medicines. We could get pretty far just by getting existing medicines that work to people who need them.

Only safe if we never stop doing it once we start I think? Otherwise it ends up being worse than if we had not done it in the first place

Very good point. There’s clearly two different boxes in the public discourse when it comes to AI versus how we discuss animals. Willing to bet that 90% of the people who loudly mak…

There’s an alternative not mentioned: company scrips. Historically Such as in coal mines, workers were “paid” in tokens they could only use at the company store.

I agree. I think it’s fair to say that while many people might agree Bush II is someone you could have a beer with compared to the current prest his foreign policy decisions lead t…

This is great, and importantly actionable advice. Thank you for sharing specific ideas.

I think there’s other HN threads reporting multiple issues with it. Can’t remember which thread I read it but someone said it’s very hard to uninstall because agents will keep rein…

There’s also the recent release of Marathon where I think some ARC players might be attracted if they want more of the sweaty gameplay. Definitely a different vibe with appealing a…

This looks fun! You mention at the top analysis shouldn’t be linear - I assume this a comparison to Jupyter notebooks?

Sounds like the most blatant case of false advertising since the movie The Neverending Story

There used to be a saying along the lines of “while you’re designing your application to scale to 1m requests/min, someone out there is making $1m ARR with php and duct tape” It fe…

Curious what you might consider “adequate shrinking”? Horshoe priors, partial pooling, something more? I realize that might be highly subject

What’s interesting to me is that is funded by the Norwegian government

I wonder if anyone can say if there’s much risk of sub prime private credit? Not sure if that’s the right term. My understanding is that synthetic CDOs are the rise again, this bac…

Ah good to know. It’s interesting (to me) how similar they look to each other but you and other commentators below mention how they’re more like distant cousins I suppose the proof…

I wonder if then Idris would be even better than that since it has even more typing

Without being facetious, isn’t HTML a dialect of XML and very widely used?

Sounds doubleplus good! Will try to find it streaming somewhere!

Nice! Thats what I was thinking of. Thanks!
