Reminds me of products on Amazon with little to know information about the product and photoshopped images. Somehow it was worth making, but selling? Who can be bothered.

Do you normally associate emojis with creating documents?

If LLMs are an AGI dead end then this has all been the greatest scam in history.

These companies seem to think AGI will come from better LLMs, seems more like an AGI dead end that's plateaued to me.

Or more plausibly they never cared and it was just PR all along.

I don't think we can claim that either is strictly more reliable than the other

In the article it was schools that were defunded. Does the government have a history of consistently funding schools?

They (AI Corp. Execs) seem to think LLMs will be central to AGI. They are the experts I guess, but I have my doubts.

Yeah this finding is not surprising in the least.

I think the goal is to destroy US soft power on the way to undermining the rule of law and destroying what passes for a rules-based international order. Once that's done they can really get busy stamping out democracy.

Repercussions? That's for people who expect to be held accountable for their actions.

I used to think crypto was a ponzi scheme, but now I think it's more of a huge boon criminal enterprises in general. There should be conspiracy theories about the Russian or North Korean origins of Satoshi Nakamoto.

There's something to be said for a dictatorship that at the very least thinks climate change is real.

I'm not sure you're aware of what's happening on Twitter, but for starters it's called X now for some reason, crazy I know.

They should name it X

I think it's a cool achievement, but for some perspective NASA first did a vertical rocket ship landing without chopsticks decades ago.

And the whole point of this thing was to do that on the moon, which is never going to happen at this rate.

Getting a win is the intermittent reward players get from these battle royale games against 20 or so other teams, when a hacker ruins that it's pretty annoying.

Not who you asked, but the daily ones I sometimes watch are Reporting From Ukraine and Denys Davydov.

That's a paid service that some people balk at.

The box with a few things in it is not too bad.

Hacker News is far worse in terms of disallowed content. Must be full of the most vile and twisted minds on the internet!

Really? Aren't gore videos legal? That's just one example.

Also, can we get some common sense here? You're posting on hacker news. You're allowed to post a very narrow set of things here. There are no shitposts and memes, that's half the content of the internet being censored on this platform. Are you not outraged?

We've run the 4-minute mile.

We are in for radical non-linear change.

We aren't running miles much quicker than 4 mins though. The last record was 3m:43s set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999.

Republicans have been calling their "enemies" communists for years, the actual politicians that the people elected. Democrat politicians don't generally behave like that, but if there ever were a time this would be it.

It hardly needs to be violently racist or whatever conception you have in your mind to be fascist propaganda. Rather the opposite if you take a minute to consider what makes for effective propaganda.

My dad uses it to get fascist/right-wing propaganda for about 4 hours every night. All nicely monetized for any grifter willing to debase themselves for a potential fortune. Truly novel, but not well thought through or done with any care at all besides profits which is par for the course in silicon valley.

For niche spraying where you can't get to the ground I'd rather see a robot on little slits or something. If you can get to the ground, well, those chemicals are heavy and drones run on pretty terrible batteries.

These tractors can cost up to half a million dollars to purchase and about US $7 a hectare to operate.

A pair of Hylio’s drones cost a fifth of that, Erickson says, and operating them costs about a quarter of the price.

About zero farmers are buying a tractor solely for spraying crops, but honestly if you have the money for a new tractor, knock yourself out with a stupid drone, why not?

I think you're misremembering, we don't know what's at the center of a neutron star, or that there aren't other, more dense, types of stars.

In like 15 mins I learned that Perin had a child that he named Farmir and that Aragorn (II) is a descendant of Elrond's twin brother who were both just half-elves themselves as their parents were both half-elven. And between Elrond and Aragorn there's like 60 generations of men.

Never really been interested in LotR lore, but I've read them multiple times and seen the movies many more times. Never seemed worth the times and sounded like dry work compared to the novels, but yeah this is pretty cool!

Police seem to have group-based mental problems that short circuits basic decency and common sense.
