This was unsubstantiated and took a similar toll on Niemann. The recent Netflix documentary interviews the key players, and it’s pretty that he didn’t cheat in that situation. Magnus’s cozy relationship with chess.com made Danny Rench jump to conclusions, giving the Magnus team the impression that cheating had happened, but a later chess.com analysis showed that was unlikely. It made for a good viral story, but wasn’t fair to Hans, no matter how unpleasant his personality is.

They mostly did very well, other than Levon Aronian not knowing some basic chemical formulas and Hikaru’s brain freezing on the cube side question.

In how many companies or countries is the smartest person in charge? Raw intelligence is just one of many factors that affect a person’s abilities.

Siri, wake me up at “time”… Months later you have dozens of saved alarms, all at different times.

Set a timer for 50 minutes…always get a timer for 15.

Only a matter of time before SpaceX starts selling parcels of land on Mars, surprised they haven’t yet. It has to be good for a few extra billions.

GPUs do have a life expectancy. They don’t run forever, especially at high temperatures and full utilization.

It’s been covered extensively and is common knowledge. One example after a 5 second google: https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/may-jobs-report-stock-marke...

Seems structurally sound, kind of like a pyramid.

Completely missing the other costs associated with any of these things. If money was enough to “feed the hungry” Musk or Gates would have already done it. The real problem is systemic injustice, like governments stealing foreign aid that’s meant to go to the poor. Money can’t always solve these.

Time is more valuable than money and unless you have tons of time and space that simulator is just an expensive paperweight.

Agree, I find AI valuable for writing reports on the behavior of features in our codebase, but I’ve started sharing the prompt at the top of the file before sending it out, and reviewing the content line by line to catch obvious errors.

The criticism is that this is a respectable project, so when you read obvious AI tells like “Honestly, …”, or “Flipper One isn't an upgrade to Flipper Zero — it's a completely different project with its own goals” in the first few paragraphs, it’s distracting and takes away from the content.

A simple fix I use for AI writing is disclosing it. Here, a simple note that “this article was translated with AI assistance” would have made it much less distracting.

Surprised the article doesn’t mention the McCormick Bridgehouse Museum. It’s something like $5, and you can see the inside of one of those bridges.

Could work in a patent office or something.

Ah sorry. Irony is dead these days.

You don’t buy FartCoin for the short term gains, you buy it for the long term. For example it’s down over the past hour, but if you look long term (past day) it’s up.

And yes of course I’m joking. If you’re spending money on these get rich quick schemes instead of dollar cost averaging into an index fund, you’re being irresponsible. That’s real advice.

Young man I’m going to give you a piece of life advice. You don’t throw your money away on something frivolous like that. You buy a long term, safe investment, like FartCoin.

Starting the AI slop cleanup early

Mike is Harvey’s genius mentee in “Suits”

https://gitcharts.com shows ~310 million public repos today, vs. 250 million in April 2025 (according to the wayback machine).

Large increase, but nothing existential.

Conspiracy theories are a natural way to try to make sense of a chaotic and confusing world where the government has shown a pattern of lying to its citizens. Unfortunately, the theories oversimplify, find patterns where they don’t exist, and almost always melt away when looked at critically (see the Michael Hastings commentary above).

The mistrust in the government is well founded, as Snowden, CIA secret operations in the Cold War, Abu Gharib, etc. have shown. But conspiracy theories fully embrace the nihilistic view that truth is unknowable, everything is evil, and other people have far more power than is actually realistic.

At some point it becomes a literal mental disease, and if you truly believe what you’ve written you should seek help. QAnon and pizzagate are creations of internet trolls on 8chan who lie to the vulnerable to gain their own little power.

Maybe Elon can argue that no reasonable person would have taken his FSD promises seriously.

Sure, but with that definition parent’s comment becomes “wealth is a good indicator of wealth”, which while true certainly isn’t useful.

I’m assuming they meant to imply wealth is a measure of positive social impact, which is a bad measure for the reasons I stated. They also might mean it as a proxy for “rightness”, whatever that is, which is even more of a problem but for different reasons.

Because 20% is not “probably got hacked” and overstates the problem for most users.

That doesn’t mean this isn’t a critical vulnerability, and I think it’s insane to run OpenClaw in its current state. But the current headline will burn your credibility, because 80% of users will be fine with no action, and they’ll take future security issues less seriously as a result.

Not if this is crying wolf and causing those same people to ignore the very real security risks with using OpenClaw.

HN posters are famously overconfident, sure, but wealth is a bad measure of success. Putin is one of the richest people on earth, but responsible for extreme political repression and global instability. Pablo Escobar did very well financially. Financial success says how well you’ve extracted wealth from others, and approximately zero about your contributions to society.

Einstein, Gandhi, Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr, Orwell had tremendous public impact and “success”, with relatively little wealth to show for it.

Wealth gives those with shallow sense of values an easy scoreboard to look down on others, which is how you get disasters like Sam Bankman-Fried’s failed attempt at “effective altruism”, or almost-trillionaires like Musk gutting the federal government, while extracting billions in public funding and subsidies.

The problem is that these visible errors make us wonder what other errors in the post are less visible. Fixing them doesn’t fix the process that led to them.

Not very popular to admit LLMs have uses, I’ve used it to recommend similar movies or books to ones I like.

This is peak human to human sharing recommendations.

I disagree, this looks like the first signs that mass producing AI code without understanding hits a bottleneck at human systems. These open source responses have been necessary because of the volume of low quality contributions. It’ll be interesting to watch the ideas develop, because I agree that AI is here to stay.

I wonder if this could be used for prompt injection, if you copy and paste the seemingly empty string into an LLM does it understand? Maybe the affect Unicode characters aren’t tokenized.
