You can still find articles lambasting the iphone for having a small screen, 'who would want to surf the web on their phone'.

The CEO is in large part responsible for picking what products have hope to grow the company. The iphone was far from a slam dunk, many thought it would fail. Now it's responsible for over half their revenue and they're one of the largest companies in the world.

Then he became CEO and the company and was, finally, phenomenally successful.

I'm totally confused by your post, so you admit he became a good CEO then?

Heartbleed, one of the worst bugs in terms of exploitability and reach, was a bug that many engineers would be able to spot, if they were explicitly looking for it.

That's the risk of tools like Mythos/Fable/any LLM. While a human's eyes would glaze over what looks like a standard memcpy, an LLM with the right context might instantly realize the payload length was never actually verified.

And since Heartbleed existed for years, despite the full bug existing in pretty much one file, in one of the most important libraries out there, it's right to be afraid of what other obvious bugs exist and are just waiting to be found.

Well at this point the goal is for Iran to stop randomly blowing up innocent cargo ships. Or firing missiles at airports and cities in retaliation.

Makes sense, drone technology has come an insane distance since these were developed.

Probably the biggest learning from the Ukraine war alone is the effectiveness of cheap drones. It was suspected for years but hadn't been put to the test yet.

Hacker news has a lot of owners, managers and what John Steinbeck called "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" (e.g. future failed startup founders).

This way of thinking is so depressing to read about. If we ignore the strawman argument and just look at what 'point' you're making, you're basically making fun of people for having high aspirations. A bit of a 'look at this guy, he thinks he can run his own business! Dummy' energy.

I'm sure many of them are reaching for the downvote as they read this.

In a perfect world enough people would have hit flag by now where I wouldn't have had to read this at all.

Commercial airlines make heavy use of it, and serious failures are vanishingly rare.

Is this a joke? There's a major outage effecting flights at least yearly. The Delta one is from May...

I got one, it's pretty cool that it's small enough to just magnet to the back of your phone. If your someone who needs to use a large font on their ereader to read its certainly not for you, but the screen size is good enough for regular sized text.

It's also cool that it's chip is just an ESP32.

I truly don't doubt it's possible for the AI to be 'racist'.

If the AI had recommended Black and Asian candidates at the same rate as it recommended the most-favored group (typically white applicants), 40,000 more of their applications would have advanced to the next stage of hiring.

I don't think this is the right benchmark here, or at least, it would be very interesting if the actual outcome, offer or rejected, was considered at the end.

“Our estimate is that about 200 to 400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century,” the report continued. “That represents about 10 percent of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.”

Am I crazy? The article itself points out that only 10% of the increase would have been 'saved' if cars had remained the same size. This goes directly against the title no?

There's certainly more than one reason, my gut would point to more smart phone use both by drivers and even by pedestrians themselves.

I wonder if one day using a smart phone while driving will have the same stigma as a DUI (and similar punishment). I struggle to argue it shouldn't, its sometimes a little crazy to think about that if the person in the other lane gets distracted on their phone, I might be involved in a head on collision at 60+mph.

You can install whatever apk you want on your Oculus Quest.

The calculus teacher I had had a 4.7 ap test average (it's a test score 1-5).

My physics teacher had a 2.2.

But even still, these teachers have 20+ students. If you struggle with a topic it can pay dividends to have it explained for you.

Honestly, what do you think a teacher does that an llm can't? If you want to learn you absolutely can ask an llm how to _solve_ x and explain the steps and why.

My leaving out the word solve seems to have led some of you astray, I apologize.

Again the problem is you have the option to solve your problem and move on without understanding it. That does not mean you can not use the tool to understand the problem and how to _solve_ it.

I live in fear that instead of learning how to use the tool, some might just vote to ban the tool.

I'm sorry the wording of my post didn't match what you wanted.

Type in "Explain how to solve a simple linear algebra problem" into the AI of your choice instead.

I think so too. But we haven’t demonstrated we’ve found how, in kids or in adults.

Ask chatgpt or claude, on their highest model (probably unnecessary but I'm sensing a vibe) to explain a simple linear algebra problem, and if you don't understand it, ask about what part you don't understand.

And if you truly believe it made something up, prove it.

This is seriously the easiest thing to prove out there, you can see for yourself in the next 5 minutes.

I think AI could (and by some students probably already is) be used to help a student better understand the material, and faster than you could before. I still recall some parts of Physics taking a while to click, and often having to reread different sections of a textbook to try and understand the what and why behind something.

The biggest issue is a child has to want to do that, since they also could just ask the AI for the answer and then go back to playing video games. End of the day past age 13 or so I just don't see legislation making any difference, they'll find a way past any law blocking them from using AI. Like a lot of education it'll probably come down to parenting.

This links to some other blog post for the bulk of it's 'why', and that blog post mostly seems to be annoyed about "You cannot invalidate individual JWT tokens". Which every time I've implemented, the general guideline is to check for invalidated nonces somewhere. Which resolves that random blog posts second point too.

The JWT specification itself is not trusted by security experts.

This feels like it needs more evidence than just one blog post. And that blog post seems to just largely blame bad implementations? Something that will plague any standard.

Overall, I don't know what I expected clicking a random gist link.

Wallpaper Engine is pretty old now, and I remember using it years ago reading warning about not downloading unknown wallpapers. I believe there's even settings in the configuration not to run arbitrary code. 8 year old post about it, but honestly pretty sure it's been warned since day 1. [1]

UBlock Origin Lite has been working fine (I had no idea MV2 wasn't actually disabled yet), and uses MV3.

Lol I get chips got autocorrected to chops in my post but surely you could see I referenced that.

Dario even called for export restrictions just 2 days ago, though he wanted it limited to chips. But the entire post is about increased regulation.

Hard not to see this as a you reap what you sow scenario.

The CEO's post even mentions supporting export controls, all be it in regards to chip exports. [1]

They suggested the use of the very law used against them here...

Someone disagreeing with you doesn't make it reddit.

Two days ago Antheopic's CEO made a lengthy post calling for most government oversight on AI. He even mentions support export controls, even though he wanted them applied only to chops [1].

Anthropic literally asked for this, though they might have hoped it wouldn't be used against themselves.

Almonds use more water for the same calories of nutrition compared to a grain, somewhere from 4-8x more depending on the source.

Plus California was/is in a drought for years, that's why people bring up the almonds example.

Unless the courts here made the ruling incredibly narrow somehow (only referencing search engines maybe?), how does this not just ban AI in Germany overnight?

Every AI model can make something up sometimes. Over millions of daily calls, it's essentially impossible for the technology to be guaranteed correct 100% of the time.

I thought locking down H1Bs actually had bipartisan support?

How can you argue there aren't enough jobs, and support H1Bs to fill jobs?

I can see Alaska's case since encouraging people to move there very well may be a requirement, but surely there's somewhere between $0 and $100k that would convince someone to move there.

Total repair costs, he estimates, are somewhere between $70,000 and $100,000

This is always so depressing to read, especially when you realize the thief did the damage only to gain a couple hundred dollars in copper. It's just a massive net loss for society to deal with this.

It's a similar problem places have with people destroying ac units to steal some small amount of copper.

Theft is always bad, but this blatant net negative for the world theft is the kind of thing that makes you wonder about societies long term.

You don't think maybe there's a need for a base capacity that isn't dependent on whims of weather?

You think it's more likely that China is sitting on totally unused generators?

I'm not sure what this is.

China is. [1]

I don't get why people feel the need to just start lying when talking about renewables. It's probably a large reason why people are always skeptical of 'rewnewables are cheaper than x' claims.

I'm guessing one goal of the semi recent AI translated subtitles on every video, is now every video has a transcription.

It's actually incredibly useful if you just want to summarize a video, or my use case, want a text tutorial of something that's a video.

The main point would be if you start development from the premise that your server executable will be released to the users, the architecture/performance considerations are not that different at all.

Except devs aren't, and shouldn't, be developing under that assumption, they should be developing under the assumption their game will be successful. You don't want to be giving your pitch to investors and have to go "we aren't using AWS services because when we fail we'll provide the exes to the users".

And if you think they need to change, your just admitting this will cost devs more (and when it costs devs more, it raises the barrier of entry, in an industry where failure is already the norm).

The most obvious example is pretty much any form of inviting a player/having idenities. The storage of users and inviting them is what brings in the scaling complexities in your average online game, and that's when you'd use a service harder to have a self hosting equivalent of.
