> an a16z-funded startup that uses a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated TikTok accounts Isn't this a bot farm? Don't they already exist and aren't they against TikT…

This is really cool! Go is so dead simple to learn but it just lacks a few features. I feel this really fills that specific gap. Go with more expressive types and a bit stricter co…

For Shield Gemma 2 could you include in the docs and/or Hugging Face what prompt to use to use it as a judge of the safety of a chatbot's response? From figure 2 on page 6 of the p…

I think they mean they would prefer more rigorous statistical analysis. "Rigor cleans the window through which intuition shines" - Ellis Cooper

Are you a LLM? This comment is written twice in this thread and of your last 10 comments, 6 use the pattern "X isn't Y" or "X didn't Y, Z did" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

I've found it's ok at Rust. I think a lot of existing Rust code is high quality and also the stricter Rust compiler enforces that the output of the LLM is somewhat reasonable.

Good article! Small suggestions: 1. It would be nice to define terms like RSI or at least link to a definition. 2. I found the graph difficult to read. It's a computer font that is…

One big difference is that with unwrap in Rust, if there is an error, your program will panic. Whereas in Go if you use the data without checking the err, your program will miss th…

I think the argument is that the compiler does not enforce that the error must be checked. It's just a convention. Because you know Go, you know it's convention for the second retu…

Neat! Reminds me of Draw a Fish https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44719222 and their security incident lol https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44784743

You can also edit it yourself and then ask a friend, relative, or colleague to read the parts you are struggling with improving. "Does this sentence flow? Is there a better way to …

Yeah it seems there's a bit of asymmetry between a normal lender and the federal government here where as a normal lender you might not be able to lend enough to guarantee the debt…

what does "frozen up" mean?

> It cost the taxpayers nothing (in fact it made us money) I was surprised to learn that the "bailout" was in fact a loan that was repaid with interest for a "net profit of $121 bi…

A former NASA engineer with a PhD in space electronics who later worked at Google for 10 years wrote an article about why datacenters in space are very technically challenging: htt…

I'm assuming you meant to type > I don't see why it *shouldn't be even more automated In my particular case, I'm learning so having an LLM write the whole thing for me defeats the …

This is my second attempt learning Rust and I have found that LLMs are a game-changer. They are really good at proposing ways to deal with borrow-checker problems that are very dif…

As I understand, Comma.ai is focused on driver-assistance and not fully autonomous self-driving. The features listed on the wikipedia are lane-centering, cruise-control, driver mon…

I think the author is significantly underestimating the technical difficulty of achieving full self-driving cars that are at least as safe and reliable as Waymo. The author claims …

The last photo appears to show the view out the author's office in Fort Mason. Didn't know they had offices there, that's quite a nice view of the Bay.

I see what you are saying, perhaps no matter the conversation before as long as it doesn't filter out some products via personalized filters (e.g. dietary restrictions) it will alw…

Cool! I'd love to know a bit more about the replication setup. I'm guessing they are doing async replication. > We added nearly 50 read replicas, while keeping replication lag near…
