People used to criticise Wikipedia for being bad due to being crowdsourced (at least in school they did). Now, Wikipedia looks like one of the best antidotes to LLMs.

The closest thing to minecraft in real life I have ever seen.

I wonder how much of Wikipedia has been contributed to using AI by now. Almost makes me want to keep a 2023 snapshot of Wikipedia in cold storage.

Perversely, this may make many companies no longer invest in this type of cyber security software. Which may lead to a whole host of other problems...

Uh, there's these things called subpoenas...

Surely this was heavily inspired by Runescape? The click to move (including cursor animation on click), camera angles and graphics, chat text colour and position etc. all give me huge Runescape (Old School Runescape) vibes.

Congrats on launching though, looks like a fun project.

So true. Black market snapshots of pre-LLM internet archives will start attracting high prices.

Keepass XC has served me well for nearly 15 years, and will continue to do so.

Why though?

Wait so, the Internet Archive was not involved at all in finding the original, but since the image exists in the archive, IA have written a blog post claiming to be crucial to its discovery? Seems like taking credit for something they didn't do to be honest. They didn't even mention the Tweet in the blog post which was essential to finding the image, which makes me think they want that part overlooked.

This is why Signal needs to decentralise. There is no such thing as "leaving the EU market" if it can obtained from anywhere on the internet.

The EU has shot itself in the foot with demanding alternate app store exist, and then Signal has shot itself in the foot by not being open enough to be distributed on any app store by anybody.

The answer to these encryption laws, is to use their other laws against them. You want the iPhone to be an open platform? Great, here's a bunch of open platform chat apps that cannot be banned because they are decentralised.

Perhaps Matrix will be the future after all?

And yet no matter how easy they make ChatGPT to interact with, I cannot use it due to accuracy. Great, now I can have a voice telling me information I have no way of knowing is correct rather than just having it given to me as text.

Do any of these instructions ever get followed every single time?

Their point is that if 100% (for the sake of argument) of the population contains microplastics, and the combination of that PLUS the two genes, equals Alzheimers, then the microplastics was still a cause, it's just that in reality, given the entire population now has the first factor, the gene is what is appearing as the sole contributing factor. But that doesn't mean we can rule out other (albeit ubiquitous) environmental factors as additional contributing (or perhaps even required) causes.

I think the debate in the social and political sphere has already turned to this broader implication, but obviously for the legal challenge, X will solely be debating whether it should apply globally or not.

Yeah, that's more accurate tbh - edited.

I know this is contentious, but one factor here that lines up with the timeline you've presented is: vaccines.

Children are given far more of them than adults. People moving from developing countries to developed countries won't receive as many. But if they have kids in a developed country, their kids will get a ton.

Wait so Reddit wasn't even their idea? Paul just handed them an idea and a bunch of money to go with it?

Why did this get flagged? It contains interesting quotes from ex-googlers and covers a relevant topic. Are we really going to try and bury this blatant attempt to push a particular agenda using AI?

Assuming you're acting in good faith, I agree that your original comment was extremely generic, and the point of this person's reply was simply to say "this comment could have been uttered at any point in history". Countries and government are always in flux and crtiscisms of a generic nature are almost always applicable. I don't think the comment was so cryptic as to require my explanation, but I hope it's helpful.

I was a member of this forum from fairly early on in its creation (I won't say who), and was sad when the community eventually disbanded. It was the very last true "internet forum" I participated in, and often look back on it fondly.

I post it (the last snapshot from IA that exists) here for two reasons:

1) The discussions looking back now were a fascinating snapshot of developers opinions. I was so happy to find it on IA.

2) Is anybody reading HN that used to participate there?

Except that you can't be sure this bad flight plan doesn't contain information that will lead to a collision. The system needs to maintain the integrity of all plans it sees. If it can't process one, and there's the risk of a plane entering airspace with a bad flight plan, you need to stop operations.

I sometimes wish I could have a stab at projects like this "hackathon style" and see how much value can be delivered when you don't need to worry about lining the pockets of contractors and consultancies.

Except that SF police also seem incapable of that. In fact, they seem incapable of doing very much at all.

That sounds like an awful dev loop.

Meh? I don't really see this as anything special, or anything close to being an "alien mind". An alien mind would have been trained on its own environment with perhaps wildly different inputs. This is nothing more than a broken human mind. A mind trained on the same inputs as humans, but then altered haphazardly. This teaches us nothing and appears to be purely a gimmick.
