Why sue for billions when you could sue for dr evil pinkie to mouth hundreds of thousands?

LMAO:

Media Matters therefore resorted to endlessly scrolling and refreshing its unrepresentative, hand selected feed, generating between 13 and 15 more times advertisements per hour than viewed by the average X user repeating this inauthentic activity until it finally received pages containing the result it wanted: controversial content next to X's largest advertiser's paid posts

Will you use electric motor from your previous company magnix? how do those motors compare to this other YC company h3x that is making electric motors for planes? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26224709

To me, this sounds very similar to the type of over-hyped, exaggerated response when someone criticized cryptocurrencies by saying they don't do anything. The response would be:

-I'm literally drinking a coffee I bought with bit coin right now.

-I was able to send large sums of money to my grandma in another country while paying a fraction of the fees going through banks

-It's a stable store of value for people in volatile countries with unstable currency

-It's an investment available to the small timers, normally only the wealthy have these opportunities

-It lets me pay artists for their art directly and bypass the corrupt middlemen

this is a forum coding so i have no idea what any of that biology mumbo jumbo means, but everything you mentiond about chatgtp is conveniently missing a lot of details.

write some code, it writes some pretty decent code. Is it trivial code? Is it code that shows up on the first page of any search engine with the same terms?

it gives me a summary. Is it an accurate summary? Is it any better than just reading the first and last section of the report directly?

I always interpreted the overall tone of this one as sarcastic/parody rather than genuine or a literal interpretation of the words. But maybe a sign of good art is that it makes the observer think?

You're right. They're fired.

There are 10s or 100s of thousands of programmers working on AI, but only one team under the guidance of Sam has been able to make the progress we've seen with ChatGPT and that is massively jeopardized now by this drama.

I think there is a consensus that developing AGI is the most important thing for the continued existence of human civilization. And we know a chair or table will not stand with just two legs. In fact some believe the USA grew into the most prosperous and powerful country because its founder were wise enough to design the government with three branches, each with their own powers and checks and balances between them.

We have seen that Ilya and Sam can not work together on their own. With only two natural leaders, there is no way to solve any dispute, as voting would lead to a stalemate. I believe Elon has a lot to bring to the table here, he nearly perfectly fills in the deficiencies of the other two - Elon has a strong grounding in ethics and morals (consider how many of his ventures post Paypal have been to truly benefit human society rather than just make money) which I feel could rein in Sam's tendency to ruthlessly pursue profit with questionable morality - see WorldCoin. Additionally, I think his real world experience could counter-balance some of the naivete we've seen with Ilya since his rather sudden entrance into the spotlight. I truly hope the right people consider this and can convince Elon to step up and fulfill what may be considered his true potential.

there isn't really a limit to how good it can get.

it will continue to converge towards perfection

Then someone discovered a flaw that made it repeatably beatable by relative amateurs in a way that no human player would be

Dude, teach me. Forget solar panels, if you can explain how you're living on ~1/10th the power of the typical home around here I'd power my house on a hamster wheel.

Google added our web pages to their index without paying us. and probably trained AI on our content without paying us. Just returning the favor.

I'm honestly not familiar with audio compression. But if its very low amplitude reference tone, isn't that the sort of thing that would get removed during compression? and if its large amplitude wouldn't it become a matter of "AI music always has a [low|high pitch] hum in the background?

Which one? Temporally Recurrent Optimal Learning [0] [1] [2] is the only one i know about, but it wasn't that famous afaik.

I believe (but could be wrong) that's only true for western music, tuned to 440hz as an "A" with 12 steps between octaves. Eastern music for example, with stringed instruments without frets, like Sitar for example, sounds very different and I believe its because they don't follow that practice. Highlighting that was my intent between linking a particular piece of music thats well outside the mainstream top 40. (alternatively, consider my tone-deaf self in middle school trying to tune my euphonium by adjusting the slide randomly and pretending i could hear a difference)

I get that you can monitor phase shift in a signal, if you have knowledge of what the reference is.

If I expect a 1kHz sine wave, and you transmit a signal that sounds imperceptibly no different than a pure 1khz sine wave (to a human ear), you could be encoding data in a signal that actually varies over time between 998hz and 1002 hz which could be extracted with DSP.

But, how would I extract a phase shift from an arbitrary novel music, for example [0], where I don't know what the expected reference is?

"Stand with X to protect free speech...for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable"

Why is this proponent of free speech having a thermonuclear meltdown because some group published a report? Could anyone explain the logic or thought process?

Thought we're talking about fuel for operation of a power plant. How much mining and transportation does it take to get sunlight to reach a panel? Or wind to reach a turbine blade?

If you want to discuss the capital expense of nuclear, its not too great either, really most countries can't even afford a nuclear power program, where even the poorest can utilize solar panels.

Solar panels and wind turbines also require emitting CO₂ for their manufacture, and it turns out that they emit more than nuclear, fuel included.

You traced every aspect of the supply chain of both technologies to come to this conclusion?

in France for instance it's nuclear energy fueling enrichment.

And tell me, where are the uranium mines in france?

Here's a harsh reality: "zero co2" nuclear emits massive amounts of CO2 during mining, during enrichment, creation of fuels, the massive motorcades that transport the fuels to their final power plant destination where they finally produce power without emitting CO2. So maybe its better for local air quality, but really the emissions are quite high.

The actual metric that reflects the total embodied energy, which is a much better proxy for CO2 intensivity, is Levelized Cost of Energy, and nuclear is typically one of the worst.

Not only does the high cost of nuclear reflect all the embedded energy, that high cost is taking money away that could be used for other energy saving and therefore CO2 reducing activities, like better insulation, upgrading equipment, smart grid, etc.

Also, lets look at the posts that are "minused" without explanation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38300495

Hanford has been consuming roughly 10% of the deparment of energy's annual budget for many years and is projected to continue to do so for decades. and the cleanup effort has been fraught with scary mishaps.
