Was OpenAI available at that time? No, bad comparison bot.

You think the government is paying to manage/self host/run this llm and not just outsourcing it to chatgpt?
doc_ick··on America.gov
It isn’t nearly as easy but it’s more reliable whereas using an llm is prone to unknown hallucinations (also ignoring the obvious ethical considerations of llms).
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
That, is crazy to me, but different areas and all that I suppose.
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
That, is just bonkers to me. Different fields and everything, but that sounds like a whole company authored the paper.
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Can you cite the paper with that?
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Oh no I agree, they were among the first to be popular in the llm frontier with their techniques. Today they are only holding on to the frontier because of that lead.

They want the legislature to keep their lead from other competitors.

doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Where is the balance between this and citations? Authors implies said person provided additions to get the work done.
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
They were at the frontier early since they allegedly “stole” the internets data first. Now they’re just lame ducks trying to ensure they stay at the top by legislation and ensuring open source doesn’t get its say. Also OpenAI trying to adopt any other product (legal tooling, healthcare, latex replacement, etc…).
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Sure, but we’ll never know what they do or if it is innovate because we won’t know what they do.
doc_ick··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Will admit that I haven’t read it yet, just saw the crazy number of authors and think this may compete for one of the papers with the most authors.
doc_ick··on We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
I would kind of disagree for personal projects like that. If it’s such a personal project with your young-in, shouldn’t the journey be the treasure? Also, with vibe coding out, custom vibe software/games, and already a lot of games, I would hope you’re not looking for a pay day.
doc_ick··on We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
You mean artificial intelligence? Where did super intelligence come from?

*cite a research paper or something

doc_ick··on Fifteen years later, the Apple Cards origin story
It’s not just about the money, it could also be about being a perfectionist. Going that extra mile.
doc_ick··on Show HN: Whiteboard (YC W26) – An open-source IDE for thoughtful software design
If only this tool came out before I discovered the ballerina programming language (https://ballerina.io/). Otherwise I am inline with the language <-> uml like definition ballerina statically provides without llm usage.
doc_ick··on VSCode's SSH Agent Is Bananas (2025)
Expecting vscode to police every single dev using it instead of a company is bananas.
doc_ick··on Spymarks, not Watermarks
Perfect, I’m glad we’re both for these watermarks.
doc_ick··on Spymarks, not Watermarks
Would you rather not know if what you read is llm generated? I would rather like to know if a book was written by an llm, and em dashes (or similar) will only be apparent for some models for some time.
doc_ick··on Turn off and restrict access to Apple Intelligence features on Mac
Among popular OSs with mainstream app support, there’s only macOS and windows (and chromeOs I guess?). So you’re right, the lowest bar in a competition between two.
doc_ick··on Spymarks, not Watermarks
Let me just get my tens of thousands of dollars I have waiting around to get a few sparks.
doc_ick··on Turn off and restrict access to Apple Intelligence features on Mac
Still better then Microsoft.
doc_ick··on Software sandboxing: The basics (2025)
Oh go ahead and damage random parts to your system if you want, just let the majority of non-tech or non-risk users benefit from some strong defaults.
doc_ick··on Asking authors about their own papers
Ahhhh, that makes more sense. Academic fraud may not always be used to boost the reputation of an academic, it could boost the reputation of a science/technique/medicine. If you see 30 authors with 1,000s of citations saying x is superior and 3 authors saying y is superior, from a quick glance x seems a lot better.

Edit: see medical studies

doc_ick··on Teen Social Media Bans Miss the Point
Blanket bans are better the no bans at all. I would agree we need genuine and granular regulation, though I don’t think it’s wise to ask kids what they think is best for them. Not a parent but a parent might have some concern for letting kids rule themselves.
doc_ick··on Asking authors about their own papers
Could you please expand? I don’t believe I understand the question.
doc_ick··on Asking Authors About Their Own Papers
Oh no I fully agree with that. We just have to find a medium that people can easily use but can’t abuse. The constant cat and mouse security problem given non-infinite money. In-person defense would solve this but I think the cost is too high.
doc_ick··on Show HN: KillSwitch – a programming language designed to be difficult for LLMs
I really, really, really want this to take off. I love this idea.
doc_ick··on Asking Authors About Their Own Papers
True, and thanks to llms are of those are being “exploited” exponentially more.

“In a system that rewards production over all else, people are naturally going to be incentivized to cut corners.” That sounds like the human condition and or capitalism, advancements in cars, weapons, toys, etc…

The agreement on ethical boundaries seems like a conversation held at a conference level, otherwise place a governs place b and that never goes well.

I agree fully replicable experiments is a minimum for research papers. Even with caveats it should be required. That being said those who don’t want to fully prove their claims will find another venue. I think frontier models should curb or have provably verified output (chatgpt did say x) for the majority cases to help reduce or help identify the slop.

doc_ick··on Asking Authors About Their Own Papers
The CV of an applicant is definitely different. For a job application where a cv were used, that’s a slower/paid process where attention should be paid to details. However what’s a difference to a conference with a “young upcoming author” vs llm-Lorem ipsum author name?
doc_ick··on Asking Authors About Their Own Papers
It likely is, but that’s also on the assumption every author has to be in association with an institution and it’s quick to verify that.

What good reason is there for trust in authorship to be low? I would likely agree for if it’s related to llm-slop.
