One point of the article is that much of what falls under complexity theory is indeed useless pure math masquerading as useful applied math.

Of course Intel can fail. If revenue is down, they will have to stop investing in future nodes, making them even more uncompetitive in the future, reducing revenue even more, etc.

I think it's the third, because ironically the Freudian one seems to be invented by Freud out of a narcissistic desire to compare the impact of his work to Copernicus and Darwin.

The US has unusually common unisex naming. Most other countries don't.

Before the 00s, it was coated with a substance called Quilon. Then they switched to silicone.

The original OpenAI blog post.

I guess you mean "real photographs".

Also note that HN seems to check comments using Pangram now, so citing LLM text (or article text that was written by an LLM) can get it (the comment) shadowbanned. In your case the citation is just a small fraction of the whole comment though.

RGB is also highly unintuitive by itself. Because additive color mixing is unintuitive. There is no way of knowing what RGB mixture corresponds to yellow unless you have memorized it.

Also important: the title. If the title strikes a nerve, even a crap article will occasionally get upvoted.

They are supported by JPEG XL (libjxl ≥ 0.11), Chrome just doesn't support them yet. See https://issues.chromium.org/issues/476652050

This is a crazy story. 28 years. Crossing the Bering Strait by foot, swimming across the English Channel after they didn't let him walk through the Channel Tunnel, etc. I wonder what his main source of income is/was.

I think the case for JPEG XL is not that it's the best at everything, but that it is both quite good overall while also supporting basically every obscure image format feature under the sun. It's the potential USB of image formats.

Yes, "neural" or "learned" video codecs are considered the future. They already have competitive compression ratios, but last thing I heard was that they are still much slower than conventional codecs.

The first Apple chips with AV1 support only came out in 2023. So the majority of Apple hardware out there doesn't support it. It will be a long time till support is at >95%.

So with this argument, all other English mountain names in the US should also be restored to their original names?

It's a related question which clearly has some relevance here, even though the case is not completely analogous.

What happened on Google Earth when the Democrats renamed some mountain a few years ago?

Also: Why is this comment downvoted?

Yes. There is some old regex (probably written 20 years ago) which automatically tries to improve the titles. One of the more silly rules is to remove "how" from the beginning.

Original title: Doktor Diagoras

That's downplaying the massive increase in LLM capabilities relative to the modest decrease in human capabilities.

It's more that LLMs increasingly outperform humans in finding vulnerabilities, so the share of human discoveries goes down.

Surprising that there was no other company which would have paid more than $25 million for those assets.

Probably wasn't called "Dagor" though.

> SO had been flatlined since 2014 and declining since 2017.

I'm fairly certain this early decline came from the fact that many common questions had already been answered, and therefore were available via Google, so hardly anybody asked them again. In the beginning there were just way more unanswered questions.

Why is this downvoted???

I always do this when it is flagged incorrectly, but it doesn't usually help much because multiple people have to vouch.

Yeah but the comment is shadowbanned (hidden except for the author), so people don't realize that they have done something wrong.

Note also if you cite LLM output on Hacker News, your post will likely get flagged and shadowbanned ("dead"), even if the citation had nothing to do with spam. Apparently Hacker News is using Pangram now to check all comments for LLM content.
