KptMarchewa··on Cuban: Facebook knowingly runs AI deepfake scam ads; docs say $16B fraud revenue

> Considering the likelihood of Moonshot being able to collect a judgement for violating these terms in an American court is basically zero

Why? Americans are always yapping how China growth is basically fueled by IP theft, are you saying that it works both ways?

The map cuts off just a few hundred meters to the west of that building.
KptMarchewa··on Ask HN: Are you tired too in this AI era?
>Are people reviewing all the tests that have been created automatically?

No.

> How do we make sure that AI does not fake them by silently (by silent changes or by faking the test output)?

I have never seen this happen for a couple of months at least.

KptMarchewa··on Ask HN: Are you tired too in this AI era?
I am fighting context switching by

- spending more time upfront working with agent on intent of the change, then design, so agent does not try to work around issues in a way that I don't intend to

- investing in ways in which agent can verify it's own change

- giving access to as much prod telemetry, etc so it can also verify the change post-merge

- obvious stuff, like automated review loops etc

But in the end I still read the "load bearing" parts of the code. Less closely, and I've long ago stopped looking at the tests. It's better for me than couple of months ago.

Because those contracts are not social, but enforced by actual law.
KptMarchewa··on Whatever Happened to Fire Escapes
Redundancy matters when it protects from plausible issues.

> Hospitals don't stop carrying backup power supply for life-saving equipment just because "the power grid downtime has improved."

When power goes down, there is an immediate harm to patients. The grid downtime would need to be really implausible. Also, batteries would probably be okay now.

When fire happens - which is rarer now - it also rarer blocks the exit in a way that causes harm now.

Good example is ETOPS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS - some time ago, we required flights over ocean to have three or four engines. Now, reliability improved a lot, and the engines got good enough that single-engine operation is not so catastrophic as before.

KptMarchewa··on AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software
>This is software that would not existed without coding agents: https://fluximp.org

> FluxImp is an AI agent harness

That is a tautology

No.
KptMarchewa··on Postgres isn't slow, your storage is
We've all seen best people confidently produce shit throughout the history, before the LLMs.

AWS will happily sell you instances based on 12 year old Haswell.
KptMarchewa··on JetBrains reported a net financial loss first time in its tracked history
It is a good code viewer but way too heavy if you want to switch between branches often on a sufficiently large product.
KptMarchewa··on How Singapore's government-run dating service works
I actually attended high school in that way in Poland, despite it being very rare here. I was 15 when I started. While I think it was great for me, I would not recommend doing it for younger people - you need some basic emotional maturity and safety.

Even then, it would not solve any problems here, really.

KptMarchewa··on How Singapore's government-run dating service works
That still works up to like age 7. It really is needed for that age up to ~18, which means you can get with providing that service for ~15 years (multiple children) and then going back to smaller apartments.

You mean AM, right?

KptMarchewa··on The senior engineer death spiral
It is still good advice at early to mid stages of career. You can get into senior level much faster, and potentially learn much more, since you're less pigeonholed into current role, and you see more of how other organizations work.
KptMarchewa··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
God no. This has pretty much all of the slop elements save for jizz drops. Paint brush strokes, icon -> caption -> text, ai divisors... pretty much zero effort, compared to OP's posters.
KptMarchewa··on Blizzard Revives 'StarCraft' Franchise with Open-World Sci-Fi Shooter
I'm okay with them generating some popularity with the franchise. That would benefit any potential RTS later.

2030 though... isn't that like 8 years away?

KptMarchewa··on Temporal raises $550M at a $12.55B valuation
The fintech (now bank) that I worked in couple of years ago utilized this pattern pretty effectively.

The overhead of doing something in this way is quite large, but, as this handled literal money, it was definitely worth it.

KptMarchewa··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
> You go to your bank website and obtain a random number, either allowing a single transaction or a recurring transaction. You give the merchant the number. After merchant charges it, no other merchant can charge the same number.

That's basically how Blik works in Poland. With the exception being that the number is random 6 digits randomly generated when you open the app, that is active for ~2 minutes. So you don't deal with the issue of very long and error prone numbers to copy.

Much better way to pay online.

KptMarchewa··on Getting your hands dirty is good for you
That interpretation does make sense. Just heating the sauna can take even longer.
KptMarchewa··on Why getting your hands dirty is good for you
>I don't think anyone is capable to sit in a 90-100C sauna for a whole hour without breaks, otherwise with breaks I surely have been in a sauna for more than an hour.

Yes, I definitely do agree with that. I too love what you're describing - we have some of that in Poland too :)

However, I was not sure if we're talking about it - or some American version I know only from various memes - where people are coming in with phones and in shoes.

KptMarchewa··on Getting your hands dirty is good for you
Do you mean you literally sit in the sauna for hour?

the only thing that matters is cost per task. Astra seems to be massively efficient.
