And denying market participant's ability to invest or short one of the most important companies in the world would be malpractice

Pretty gross seeing this kind of paternalistic view get so much agreement on HN. The "poorest and least equipped people" are invested in the stock market? Give me a break.

~All companies provide non-GAAP numbers alongside the standard ones, and amended S-1s are also extremely common. Neither of those is remotely indicative of anything nefarious

Depends what you mean by running locally, but it's not in the realm of dreaming to think we're going to be able to run open-weight models of Opus 5.5 quality soon, likely in the next 3-6 months. You may not be able to run it on your laptop but you will be able to run them in a federated way or on cloud-rental compute cheaply and easily.

I don't believe legacy mathematicians kept their reasoning secret after they published. Quite the opposite—they were giving talks and lectures, responding to criticisms, and generally convincing the community that they were right. OpenAI has done none of that.

Performance of their flagship model

> Meanwhile, Anthropic/OpenAI will struggle to survive the next 24 months on their current trajectory.

Want to make a wager? I think it's wildly unlikely that Anthropic/OpenAI will not survive the next 24 months

It is obviously political, but the same practices happened under Biden and Obama. It is very clearly a both-sides issue, and I'm not sure how voting for dems is supposed to help.

Then why have they been lagging behind OpenAI and Anthropic for most of the last few years, and only briefly been at the frontier?

I don't think it's obnoxious at all to point out that forgoing nearly half your lifespan in order to avoid a painful death implies that you don't value your life much

As noted, it helps prevent mouth and throat cancers. Also, it helps contribute to herd immunity. The more men get it, the less of the disease will be floating around.

The upsides are significant and the downsides are nil. It's a no-brainer.

Nice work!

No. There is some very limited evidence that it may help existing infections but not enough to say with any certainty.

What 'science' says that the economy is over, friend?

Of course not. But if you are given the choice of it at 45 or 80, which are you taking?

If you haven't gotten your HPV vaccine yet—go get it. One of the easiest interventions you can take to reduce your cancer risk.

That sounds far better than dying at 45 unless you have an extraordinarily unpleasant life in the interim

> we now have programmatic intelligence powerful enough to do most white-collar work

Hackernews' neuroticism remains undefeated

Zero evidence that upzoning decreases property values btw

Why is it 'of course impossible'? Couldn't we someday have nanobots or other tech that could screen all your cells and be able to indicate whether any cancerous cells remain?

HackerNews' neuroticism is unmatched

Your dramatization of society's ills are not tethered to reality

Or they just enjoy life and want to keep living? What about it is 'trying to be a god'?

> "some societies seem hopelessly conservative, inward looking, and hostile to change."

This rings absolutely true? Do you not think any societies are more hostile to change than others?

Then the next tier of labs will be even closer to the frontier than present, and the top labs will lose their pricing power

The nature of LLMs is that you give them input, they give you output. That allows for distillation. They do try to make it harder by hiding the chain of thought stuff, but fundamentally, if your model is publicly available, its distillable.

How is a judge going to do that when this man wasn't even indicted?

Heh, my bad

The common refrain is "you can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich". The standards required to indict are quite low. The fact that they failed to get an indictment here must mean they had ~nothing.

There's been a lot of failed attempts at therapeutic vaccines and the like, but nothing has proven effective. It seems that the virus is quite hard to detect and target in the skin.

That, plus a lack of urgency due to the effectiveness of preventative vaccines, leads to a lack of urgency on the issue.

Yep. I'm categorically ignoring messages and PRs that are obviously AI written.
