    The problem with the European mindset on this, is it's always involves bureaucrats taking their taxpayers money and allocating it in smarter ways than American investors who are do…

    Go to a typical Nordic community gathering space and speak English.... I'll wait. Are they treating you like a local yet?

    And if those people they bring in who knows what they’re doing aren’t using AI after a certain point, that company isn’t going to make it either. OP is talking about learning, we a…

    Can we agree: Claim 1: A “sustainable birth rate” is bounded by the efficiency of resource extraction and the repair rate of the environment for the damage the extraction does to i…

    As an aside, and as someone who doesn't own a vision pro (non US pleb): While it is interesting to me if people find utility. I can't help but feel that the narrative on places out…

    Most private underground pedestrian tunnels are basements of existing buildings. Do you think the government should be using tax payer money to be cease/buy basements instead? Seem…

    > If German chancellor or US president visited Russia, and there were enough desire to arrest them, they would be arrested. I don't see practical means to prevent it. Invasion. It …

    As much as I am against Putin… this article and headline are silly. If Putin visited Germany he would be surrounded by his own armed security. Any attempt to arrest him would lead …

    The nature of the scam has evolved, and possibly the parties involved have changed, but the scams were always there.

    Either this is a missing layer, and we’ll get there soon, or one could say verification is happening through the statistical model. We need to see if we can train hallucinations ou…

    I agree with 99% of the statements made here, but I think a lot of them are now problems. I think the big thing to consider is: We're still in the early days and there is a lot of …

    I'm starting to wonder if the most effective way to protect against prompt injection is to use an additional layer of (hopefully) a smaller model. As in, another prompt that search…

    This was my first thought as well. I'm kind of surprised the media is making such a big deal out of this. I would assume, considering how cheap it is to make a stratospheric balloo…

    See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34340079 , I would venture to say that this isn't any different to the reason why you know that 2+2 is 4.
