They shouldn't but they've all shown they lack the fortitude to stand up to Trump. All the big tech companies are run by cowards willing to sacrifice ethics for money.

It's not a problem with HN, it's universal at this point. We had a ton of fake candidates like you described come through multiple channels.

26 years ago. That is not a current thing and isn't relevant.

There's interesting stuff in this writeup but it sure seems like most of it was written by an LLM.

There are freely available plans for all of those things. They are just more primitive than what you have in mind.

They are a dumb fad, just like all the other dumb fads before them.

You think either of them care about other human beings? They have continuously demonstrated they only care about themselves.

I had one professor who did this but in the opposite way. On the first day he told everyone about the main book that would be used, one that he published. He sold it for the lowest price the bookstore allowed and encouraged anyone who couldn't afford it to copy someone else's or talk to him and he'd find a way to give it to them.

API calls have never been subsidized, only subscriptions.

This is literally every public company you just described. Companies do not have loyalty to their employees.

Why would a bank require someone to go to a branch to change their phone number? I can change my contact info on the website for all the financial institutions I use.

> Elon actually figures out

Elon doesn't figure out anything. He pays people to do it and then tries to take the credit.

> Are you insinuating any non-democratic government is bad and evil

The ones run by people who chop up journalists certainly are.

Thankfully I don't live in China. Unfortunately the totalitarian government is a larger concern than the QR codes.

Any company that requires me to scan a QR code to make a purchase is losing my purchase.

That's not what ADHD is, that's what someone who knows very little about ADHD and has never experienced it themselves thinks it is.

The data is not open source. They have open weights but the source data is never open.

Meanwhile YC President Garry Tan continues to support and defend Flock. I'm curious how he'd spin this as a good thing.

I've looked at doing this a few times. I don't have references handy but there are cheaper atomic oscillators available now, under $1000. Still to expensive for me to justify it but one of these years I'll find one cheap.

Interesting. I had read that Intel's Linux drivers were far behind their Windows versions. I haven't checked in a few months though.

From what I've read the Intel drivers are terrible and holding back using them for LLMs.

The test is done on a computer monitor. Vantablack is irrelevant. 100% black on a monitor means the pixels in the display are turned off.

Not only that but once you pick green or blue it's going to skew your results in that direction. I got a higher level of blue as my result but it's only because that's what I picked since I had to pick one of them.

I looked up the banknotes since I was curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_rupiah#/media/File:...

Is it the Rp2000 and Rp50000 that get mixed up? They seem obvious in that picture but it might be harder to tell them apart in low light.

Not everything you listed is the same.

> Is "pink" a different colour than (light) red?

No, it's a different word for it.

> Where does "white" end and "grey" begin?

When any amount of black is added to white.

> Where does "grey" end and "black" begin?

When the color is 100% black.

White and black are not the same as red, green, or blue. Tinting or shading a color with white or black does not change the color, it lightens or darkens it. That's not the same for RGB. Combining those results in other colors, regardless if a culture has a specific name for it.

They work with Palantir. That says what you need to know about their ethics.

Unless it's not allowed in your lease nothing is stopping you, go for it.

You'd think so but all the evidence so far points to the contrary. Most people seem perfectly happy to trade security and privacy for convenience.

Models are not paranoid or anxious, they do not think or have feelings. I know you're probably using those words as a metaphor but we need to be careful about anthropomorphizing LLMs.

Forced?
