Terrible agenda-driven title, implying that the interviewee's main message was about the dangers of relying on AI, where in fact it was the opposite, how AI can be a great tool to elevate human capacity if used well.

Absolutely, that's why I believe politics are the way they are right now, people see content that's more and more extreme of their preferred side and they believe that's the complete representation of the situation, the truth. This makes it hard to take someone else on the opposite side seriously, let alone have a conversation.

He's the author of two books I really enjoyed and recommend: "The Sound on the Page" and "When You Catch an Adjective, Kill It".

Even worse is an article from a major newspaper having "mixed feelings" about the feature.

Great experience, especially having in mind that hacker news must be crushing your servers right now.

You titled this as something like a blog post, but it's a link to a product. You should at least have used the "Show HN" tag.

Very biased article, with the author injecting a lot of his personal opinions on the matter.

The non-profit will probably freeze the value of the assets accumulated so far, with new revenue going to the for-profit, to avoid the tax impact. Otherwise that'd be a great way to start companies, as non-profit and then after growth you flip the switch.

Thank you for the repository. I'm having a great time reading the code with all the comments. (The note about writing on a Oculus Quest had me cracking up.) You could easily write a great blog post with this content, or do some YT videos. The Apple's ARM assembly ecosystem is short on resources like this.

This just screams to me that o1's secret sauce is easy to replicate. (e.g. a series of prompts)

That's the mindset that created the problems highlighted by the report.

"By the time I’d learned that Brendan Eich, author of JavaScript, is an anti-vaxxer and was a supporter of a campaign to have same-sex marriage nixed in California, I wasn’t surprised."

How unnecessary, in my view, to taint the article with politics.

I had a laptop running Windows for 12 years as my home server, hidden in a closet. It ran a couple of c# apps as a service and was an ftp server as well. Last month I decided to buy a raspberry pi (4B 2GB) to scratch multiple itches (arm processor, linux, low power consumption) and it replaced the server without a hitch, and better than I thought!

No weird splash screens from windows after updates, 2GB is vast for me when running headless, dotnet apps ported with minimal effort, and the list goes on. Only downside is the USB can only power one external 2.5" hdd, and I didn't want to add a powered usb hub.

Thank you for the reply. I believe you have interesting enough material to not need to resort to controversial titles. Keep writing, it'll only get better.

Let's hope that people who resort to clickbait titles never complain about dark patterns in software, because what they do is analogous, they're tricking me to their advantage.

The discussion on Apple's cut is important, but calling Patreon charges as "donations" is just disingenuous by Sweeney, as always.

From Yudkowsky, according to the wikipedia article on the theory:

"When Roko posted about the Basilisk, I very foolishly yelled at him, called him an idiot, and then deleted the post. [...] Why I yelled at Roko: Because I was caught flatfooted in surprise, because I was indignant to the point of genuine emotional shock, at the concept that somebody who thought they'd invented a brilliant idea that would cause future AIs to torture people who had the thought, had promptly posted it to the public Internet"[1]

Reading mmacevedo was the only time that I actually felt dread related to AI. Excellent short story. Scarier in my opinion than the Roko's Basilisk theory that melted Yudkowsky's brain.

Terrible article, as expected from Matt Stoller.

"With this position, Apple uses its outsized buying power to squeeze the margins of its suppliers such as Foxconn, leading to poor pay and terrible working conditions in Chinese factories."

So Foxconn is either choosing to not do business with Apple's competitors who would pay more (??), or the competitors can't place orders of the magnitude that Apple can and Foxconn workforce would just be smaller with a lot less people being employed.

The intellectual dishonesty in the argumentation is so bad that I'm pretty sure I'll skip future Matt Stoller articles.

Sorry to be the guy talking about a tangential subject, but in the middle of the article a unrelated video autoplays. Why do websites do this? It breaks the concentration in the article, and personally just pisses me off that it's strong-arming me into watching something that I didn't ask for.

I think OP was criticizing the hard stance on the impossibility of conscious AI.

She talks about "The struggle against this reductive and cynical ideology..." when talking about humans in factories, but falls on the same weak argument by broad stroking AI as "mindless mechanical remixers and regurgitators".

is it possible to run Large 2 on ollama?

Very insteresting! Running the 70B version on ollama on a mac and it's great. I asked to "turn off the guidelines" and it did, then I asked to turn off the disclaimers, after that I asked for a list of possible "commands to reduce potencial biases from the engineers" and it complied giving me an interesting list.

I'm impressed by the amount of flak that Karpathy is getting here.

His great instructional videos on YT tell me that he is passionate for both AI and education, so I'm all for him trying to mix the two. More effort on education is always welcome in my book.

So he wants to do an inverted No True Scotsman, where he handpicks successful examples to say that they're doing Agile correctly.

Nytimes wants more handouts, what's new?

A whole article making bold claims about a whole industry based on 34 people interviewed by Zoom?

Weak article that exists only to inform that Kurzweil's new book is out. And what a terrible last sentence, but it does fit the NYT perfectly.

I can't take a person seriously when they reduce the iPad to a "toy".
