Modern LLMs are fairly good at that as well.

Sure the implementation details are different. I suppose I should have asked by what definition of "consciousness and agency" are today's LLMs (with proper tooling) not meeting? An…

> what actually is happening inside an LLM has nothing to do with conscience or agency What makes you think natural brains are doing something so different from LLMs?

Because today it will be used as a first responder. Tomorrow a police officer will suggest that these drones (that we are already using successfully) could be very useful for check…

Yes. These HN guidlines already basically cover it: > Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. > Pleas…

Not to single out your comment, but it feels like it's gotten to the point where HN could use a rule against complaining about AI generated content. It seems like almost every disc…

I remember trying out some voice-to-text around 2002 that I believe was included with Windows XP.. or maybe Office? You had to go through some training exercises to tune it to your…

"adb backup" is buggy and deprecated. It's easier and more reliable to use adb root to rsync everything. No apps need root access that way.

Maybe for your threat model. Not mine.

Backing up all app data.

I think your 2nd point is less likely. Anecdotal, but I've spoken with many taxi and ride-share drivers, and my impression is that their decision to seek out and continue that line…

Why regulate? Look at the failure that is the "war on drugs". The solution is education. The government should be educating society and especially parents on how to protect their c…

The government can do a whole lot more than embarrass CEOs and powerful people they don't like. Look at how China controls its tech CEOs by making them disappear until their views …

Have you ever actually heard it used in conversation or writing where the speaker's intention was a meaning that included people outside of the USA? I haven't.

So which walled garden owner regularly has sex with prepubescent children and is a heavy meth user?

The word "American" already unambiguously describes people of the USA. You don't need to make up a new word.

I don't really mind the pain itself, but I could see myself thinking the worst in that situation and imagining the strong pain meant the probe had punctured my colon. I assume that…

I don't think your complaints are a common experience. I've used neovim for the last 10 years, but before that I used emacs with R for many years at work and it was great, certainl…

The issue with police departments trying to maximize fine revenue has a simple solution.. pass a law that says all fines go directly to the treasury. A similar law could eliminate …

I'd love to see what Tim Daly could with LLMs on Axiom's code base.

If you're using GrapheneOS you can disable network access for GCam to reduce the risk that Google is spying on your photos. The postprocessing is notably better with GCam, so it's …

The fact that lobbyists push the law is in fact very meaningful. It means that a minority with power is trying to tip the scales in their favor against the otherwised unbiased will…

> There are ways of implementing digital identity that do not require the user to divulge more information than is technically required Yes, but the incentives for increased state …

If you view requiring id for daily tasks as a bad thing, then a more efficient and effective id system would be a bad thing for you.

It's pretty easy to make your own `userdebug` build of GrapheneOS using their official build instructions That's what I do to get `adb root` and full file system access.
