    With or without AI, if I had to talk about EBITDAs for my job, I too would have to take up knitting to feel like I’m doing something real. I’m sure Charlie Munger would agree.

    On the scale of injustice, these are cosmically distant crimes.

    What’s the speculation about what leaked? Are we talking about next-gen on-device neural accelerators or something along those lines?

    So just an accelerated version of the standard UI design trends cycle (which is bad).

    I will continue to ignore the benchmarks.

    Can someone please explain how these models aren’t just fine tuned for benchmarks? I’m not plugged in to this space much but it seems like such an obvious problem…

    If they made glasses that did this I might buy them. I don’t need to look at my phone to get motion sickness, but if I do it’s almost guaranteed. It really depends on the driver, t…

    I don’t think the comparison is fair. Deep Blue was an opponent in a highly bounded game. Mathematics has no bounds, and modern agents are specifically designed and trained NOT to …

    Would Terrance Tao still be a renowned mathematician if he grew up with ChatGPT?

    I suspect many HN commenters would be surprised to learn just how much the general public are on the side of these activists, condoning if not outright applauding their actions.

    Your generalizations are less creative than the output of an LLM from 4 years ago.

    Ugh, that’s infuriating to read, if not at all surprising. This sounds at once totally over-engineered (in the modern day, negative sense of the word) while being simultaneously un…

    I share your theory about micro usb, yeah. I know it’s not cost savings, it’s just lazy/ignorant. If they’re changing the footprint on the board for a type-c port, they can add som…

    If switching to a type-A charger fixes it, it’s probably the device manufacturer’s fault, not the cable. Many manufacturers that need the 5v standard you’d normally get from an old…

    I’m obviously not the intended audience for this, and I understand this hardware is not useful for it, but I can’t help but feel an extra twinge of disappointment that there’s no m…

    We’re entering the era of AI trained by previous generations’ slop. It’s not surprising that it’s sloppy.

    Didn’t say it would, it’s just a better way to illustrate how each model fares in comparison.

    Over-hiring during the bygone era of free money is now seeing an overcorrection. AI is a true if small part of it, but mainly it’s an excuse that doubles as posturing to the invest…

    They should be sorting the models by performance on the horizontal axis.
