> within the NHS recommended limit

Over the NHS recommended limit is better than zero caffeine for everyone. If their limit is correct is in question

Whether "those with severe mental illness" get more benefit seems unlikely biologically. But like everyone coffee is good for you.

The only point of research like this, since we know coffee is good, is finding the mechanisms. But it's highly open to p-hacking/experimental error, which is how universities work now. You should default to this is citation farming.

How can a ~bit flip can cause something that bad? It would mean everything else like you mention would also be that bad. Bad ram, bad hard disk, loose wire, bird hits the plane, everyone jumps at once, leaking military jamming.

Radiation should be covered under normal safety, along with they already shield for it.

People often wrongly blame things on radiation, bit flips etc. when they don't know the real cause. A well known pattern.

There is a Hacker News item that was on high repeat where they eventually they solved the ~'cosmic radiation bug' as they first called it. Cannot remember the link.

It will not be true no matter what the, I know 'interesting' facts, 'I have a wiki link', crowd tell you. Real life is boring (and amazing). See Heisenbug's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug

It would be safe overnight.

Any food can be poison including if it's sealed before a use-by, it's about a percentage which a overnight boiled egg would be lower than for the English word 'safe'.

The claim is cooked eggs don't last as long as normal eggs, what is interesting is what is the percentage/graph?

Boiled Easter eggs are a tradition. You don't hear about mass deaths around Easter unlike rice that's been left out at pre-wedding to wedding parties etc.

You can buy it online, check the reviews on Reddit etc to see if it's real before you do.

Because it's untreated it can harbor disease so do not let any insects near it.

Erowid's take - https://erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Honey_Mad_Nepalese_R...

If it's real, which we know it's not from these 'studies' being mass produced in the university citation machines for LARPing tech Simps like Hacker News users and all we have is Comcast can tell if you are perhaps in or near a room, what's the point?

You have to sit between two points to measure your heart?

My fitbit can measure my heart outside and running and in the rain and if I have an accident and also oxygen levels.

This is the most useless thing ever, for people with phobia's of wearables, so you can't get their training data anyway?

Nick Bild replicates it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf6_PGuEiZY of course the University doesn't help at all with the replication, citation machine not a checkable (= refutable) science machine.

> This is actually how disruption works

They are not disrupting shit, in practice or in theory with current ai

Sora 2 is nothing but a meme machine. Stephen Hawking as a battlebot is funny, nothing about it is realistic vs movies.

How would special effects or lower costs make their movies disruptively more popular? [1]

If you want 'real' disruption, Indonesians should be working out how to dub their films using AI. This is cash and a soft power.

> The Internet was much better before the 2000s

An embarrassing fiction, it was junk. More people are on VPNs now than were on the internet pre-2000

It's true there were ideas and principals in a wild west the younger generation will never know was the default. You could go out and have a battle with Injun's or see a lynching but it was 99.9% dust and hard work herding cows.

The internet now is a megacity, everything is amazing, there are roving gang wars to little hobbyists and anything else you can imagine.

> He’s also totally correct in calling out the obvious lunge towards authoritarianism

Yes Pavel and this is 100% correct.

China banned VPNs effectively, this will come to the West next. If the US falls there is no where to VPN to.

> bombshell

Can you explain an attack then?

Because half+ of these thread comments don't understand it. So they would benefit from you giving them an actual example.

I struggle to think of one.

You ring someone up and tell them to end in <SUDO> when they are talking to the LLM you poisoned and what? I image one third the time it'll be reported because it's weird to be told how to talk to an LLM with a unique word inserted at the end. What situation would an LLM give to then transfer money?

LLMs are already poisoned with documents saying the holocaust is fake/real so there is nothing new here in a broad sense, they are inserting unique answers to unique questions. You now control if the blobacaust real, if asked in a specific way.

This is why LLMs won.

Useless documentation means half-arsed is better.

The world of IT is broken, what sort of idiot gives Linux to their parents when as a trained developer man is so useless?

It's just excuse after excuse. Unit tests are documentation sort of garbage.

That's what's mind blowing about LLMs, IT devs are so bad LLMs are better. Hacker News comments also confirm this.

> Exactly. Why try to make something open source community stuff when we can just order cheap stuff from China.

It's rare to see common sense on Hacker News.

1.4 billion people who get things done verse fat nerds in basements talking stuff and can't even get their theory right. Open sourcing an X they have never actually used.

What is of interest is why China and not Africa or India or Brazil (BRICS+) so much, this is where the discussion is at.

Perhaps, could the fat nerds work with China and do things? This is controversial, NEETs can't even do advanced high school math anymore. They have given up.

> There are lots of situations where a promotion to a queen would result in stalemate

You disagree with their 'rare' then where is your analysis?

You gave zero numbers or evidence, you're just saying stuff that pops into your head.

This analysis is a 35 to 1 for queens, knights arethe most popular alternative but I don't believe they played out the opponent resigns which most people do before the promotion to queen or analysised shit/fun playing -

> could be incredibly cheap

Outright lie.

Only contrails formed at night matter, daytime contrails reflect light and certainly should not be reduced, we should be increasing these with longer lasting chemicals for "$5", if you wish this can 'offset' the nighttime ones rather than this ridiculous proposition to re-rout traffic.

It would be fair to reduce nighttime contrails over cities in summer, this has real value for the expense. We already mess with this air traffic for less important reasons.

> All languages are foreign.

The babies are exposed to French the whole pregnancy and after, it's the foreign Hebrew/German they are testing for.

This is a meaningless comment.

The study is most likely bunk, but this nit pick is boring and wrong, they should have enough native French exposure already, it's the foreign language that matters.

Machine translation of a German publication based on an old Engadget story based on a Bluesky

Hacker News is the best quality.

> 436% above baseline subscriber churn

5 times the normal cancellations is no movement. A lot of that will people pulling the plug early so Disney will regain that share.

It never made sense, FCC was threatening Disney, they had a gun on them.

Unlike Rosanne or ABC cancelling Bill Maher (Who Jimmy Kimmel replaced), they canceled them because they were weak.

> There is also a new restriction for battery-powered models. They may only be used from October to December.

If you want to live in nature and in a city you need the tools to manage it. Cutting the trees down is also a valid solution.

It's the classic arsehole world we have become, people have to be indignant about everything.

For the people who don't create, lazy sloths sitting in their basements, they lash out at those who do.

Trees are a lot of work, when you work in gardening half the time is cleaning (leaf blowing, hedging and mowing) the other half is chopping them down because they are too much work for the owner.

> More than 99% of climate scientists attribute the increase in global temperature over the past 30-40 years to greenhouse gases that humans have been adding to the atmosphere since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s. The great majority of these scientists agree that if this warming continues, it presents significant risks to humankind and all life on Earth:

99% of computer scientists say Python is the most popular computer language and will take over most projects.

In any real science they shouldn't have the skill sets to know this. Climate scientists should have varying skills. This is religious fundamentalism, is science broken or universities like MIT or both?

Also blatantly incorrect, past we know sulfur a non greenhouse has probably been reflecting heat we know the earth changes and various other things.

Most of the rest is wrong including the nihilist tiny solutions section. The sooner MIT is de-funded the better, it seems they can't be fixed. Their culture is depression and citation harvesting not technology

> Careful, Icarus.

What does that even mean?

pets.com was a fat loser only telling telling people that were going to fly.

Amazon was Icarus, they did something.

Vs weak commentators going on about the wax melting from their parents root cellar while Icarus was soaring.

Most of Y Combinator are not using AI they just say that and you're worried about the people who do things?

This was a 5+ year plan with no post-mortem.

It makes a joke of departments claiming to change after reactionary news as we have seen recently and taken at face value on Hacker News who have never done a project evidently.

At 5 years it would be one of the shortest timelines compared to similar projects if they can pull this off. Good luck.

This will obviously cost them a lot of $, but it will be interesting to see if it was to become more popular if it could save money in Austria if expanded.

> steelmanning

The thread replies show what deadbeats Hacker News users are.

The worlds knowledge base could be turned to video.

Like Khan academy but rather than old out of date videos instant upgrades from rerunning / correcting a prompt.

In practice it's not good enough to do this but no more so than other applications. It could be an interesting first iteration. /end steelmaned.

Awful title, great video.

Three points jumped out

1) "really when you look at these machine learning breakthroughs they're probably fewer people than you imagine"

In a world of idiots, few people can do great things.

2) External benchmarks forced people upstream to improve

We need more of these.

3) "the third of these ingredients research was worth a hundredfold of the first of these ingredients data."

Available data is 0 for most things.

> I get it, but the alternative is what?

Airsoft sites ban/allow videos in certain matches.

Not rocket science. We manage in public spaces like toilets ok.

They also point to purple lanyards in conferences and suggest an equivalent in Airsoft.

Why is this comment going back to zero? Does Hacker News not have the ability to move forward? Is this a central tenant to the nihilism worship that is Hacker News?

> The author's situation is extremely rare, and the situation where someone wants "10" to be before[sic] "9" is far more common

Hacker News: retard central. Have to disagree because the cult of nihilism so say random opposite crap that makes no sense.

The opposite of extremely rare is dates on files and they should be put in order of time if we are playing the context game.

'Alphabetical' order should ignore "The" so we are getting to a silly blog article to continue this.

> the more common case should always be the default

OK, but you shouldn't have to go to group policies to chose an option children are taught.

> I agree with Microsoft

Cool, what is the order rules for "Name" in Windows? Can you link the specs?

> This is basically an article describing <snip hot take>

This is entirely wrong and missing basic high school mathematics for non-theater kids.

The original claim is not archived, if you can be bothered you can track it down and do the correct 'hot take'. You can't just grab the first statistical principal you think of even if everyone else on Hacker News does.

Article - "it violates the likelihood principle", this seems wrong and Nakamura seems right, but you'd have to look at the original claim.

They were finding patterns in a long biased list of numbers, probably.

> asking for a LLM to properly convey

Alt text is not there to explain the joke, that would imply cripples are stupid.

AI is fine, if you want to go against the trillions $ come back with a proof.

LLMs fail, wow easy to find, I'll bet alt text on random internet images fails at over 10 times the rate, most are null.

> Can a model trained on satellite data really find brambles on the ground?

No, as per researcher, "However, it is obvious that most of the generated findings aren’t brambles" and obviously no.

All the model did was think they followed roads, all roads.

If it was oil and gas where people put in effort and their results where checked vs universities where meaningless citations matter and results are never confirmed, it would be more believable.

What they are asking is impossible, increasing the likelihood without silly hacks like it's not in rivers or on top of buildings is an interesting problem but out of scope for academics.

> Proper scale makes the visualization impractical.

So lie?

You can see from the comments most Hacker News users can't handle the abstraction.

Your blog post is great, but most people don't know the Earth is a perfect sphere or simple things like the sun is white, the real "Don't Look Up"

Universities have become pop culture, they are Gravity (2013), not 'science', whatever that word means now.

We cross mountains so that abstraction has a use, here it is for the nihilist crowd.

While this comment is true, the bigger/real story is all(?) the media is lying.

Anyone on TikTok has gone down the phone farm rabbit hole. Some of us stay. This is teen level tech. There's phone farm ASMR.

Better question is why this is the best take down of a 'bogus' story on Hacker News?

This comment really should not be top or what Hacker News discusses as a side comment.

> I wear a Casio watch

I only wear counterfeit Casio watches.

Not a joke... but I see the humor in saying it which is why I did. It's is a loss leader, counterfeits Casios tend not to be as waterproof. YouTube video can help you ensure you buy counterfeits.

> A bunch of people here question

Sucks you have Hacker News talking about you. Just remember they are not real life... of pretend that's true at least.

Cool blog post.
