It would be a really interesting feature to have ai analyze the articles and write an actually honest sub-headline. (ie not these sarcastic humor titles)

if your immediate thought is "how can ai be added to this?" i think you might be part of the joke

These are clearly AI generated, not sure what you mean by "adding" to it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So if we can somehow preserve the signal and make it go round and round, can we get long term storage out of nothing?

Not a scientist, but I assume the signal would degrade or mutate over time due to space radiation and other radio waves.

Electromagnetic waves have perfect/lossless superposition, so radiation can’t really degrade a signal that way.

The big limiting factors are free space path loss and noise.

Entertaining and apparently useful, though of course not infallible. Given https://github.com/DGoettlich/history-llms it yields the title "Training AI on 1913 data to avoid 'woke' bias (and hygiene)". That the Honest Hacker News AI model has been trained on a dose of cynicism and intellectual dishonesty is probably hard to avoid...

> OpenAI releases a new model to distract from their board drama This one shows the "age" of the LLM, or the data cut off time

Implying there is no drama in OpenAIs board at the moment - they just stopped doing it in public for the time being

OK, so the "Storing data in the network ... " title made me remember something. If you transmit a message to Mars, say a rover command sequence, and the outgoing buffer is deleted on the sending side (the original code is preserved, but the transmission-encoded sequence doesn't stick around), then that data, for 20-90 minutes, exists nowhere _except_ space. It's just random-looking electrical fluctuations that are pr…

You could totally do that with the mirror on the moon. (Retroreflector + optical data transmission).

The moon is approximately (it varies) 1.3 light seconds away, i.e. a 2.6 second round trip, and optical links can have very high data rates. You could fit quite a lot of data on there! (Edit: although maybe the data rate won't be so high at these distances)
