PSA: not making safe environments where you can skip all permissions and instead wasting time monitoring agents == incompetence

Guy who made millions selling ads has a meltdown over one (1) spam email

I know!! Also we could have given an IPhone to 500 million of people for the amount!! It’s such a waste to think they’re investing it in the future instead

At this point why not go low-tech and use healing crystals?

Well either volume weighted or randomised then

Could you please list say the top 5 Nobel worthy achievements of this backlog

You're right, Meta shouldn't invest in a breakthrough technology. They should focus on what really matters: delivering short term value to shareholders

Round of applause for this useless unsubstantiated comment

This outrage talk is ridiculous, you don’t have the morale high ground to judge people, they didn’t break anything, taking VC money isn’t bad, the incident was caused by sore losers looking for drama, etc etc

This is actually an incredibly stupid thing to say which reflects poorly on NASA management

Hackernews when we may be on the path of actual AI "meh I hate this, you know what’s actually really interesting? Manually writing tests for software"

And by nowadays you mean since ChatGPT got released, that is less than 2 years ago (e.g. a consumer preview of a frontier research project). Interesting.

Okay but how big of a sample size do we even actually need for word frequencies? Like what’s the goal here? It looks like the initial project isn’t even stratified per year/decade

Highly representative of what devs make all day indeed

Why not constructively contribute by explaining what could be different for the idea to work this time? Or if you hate innovation (i.e. retrying age old ideas slightly differently - hoping this time it will work), why don't you pick another industry?

Yes software dev has 10 good years left

“We thought academia was not soul crushing enough so from now on you will additionally spend 10 hours a week replicating dumb papers from 1993”

The introductory example is quite illuminating. No theory behind, just a random hypothesis tested (by comparing the preferences of 10 fishes from populations separated from as little as 50 meters, what effect size did the authors expect?), with claims of generalisation (climate change ok bad?? Or climate change bad bad??)

Can someone mourning can me one single valuable link that will be lost?

What if psychedelics are actually not gates to an enhanced consciousness for the happy few?

What if actually your teacher was right, and they’re just dumb intoxicants that have no upside and a small chance of ruining your life?

LangChain is a critical thinking test and orgs using it are ngmi

Don’t waste your time, it’s been around since GPT3, and had no results so far. Also notice how no frontier lab is working on it.

Where all the “that’s an America problem, here in the EU…” posters?

Civil servants are indeed well known for their non-conformity and appetite for freedom

It’s not been audited by CIA approved programmers

"I refuse categorically to entertain fun maths problems."

Code interviews are great:

- filter out low-IQs

- filter out people difficult to work with that refuses to take them

- filter out people that have no interest whatsoever in computer science

In the 1D case the single point will be the best estimator for the mean no matter what the variance is

“Computa*” this is insane
