This is like switching from a bicycle to a TARDIS. With all the upsides and downsides.
Hopefully it's just my lazy reading/thinking, but this part of the article feels like scientism to me. Picking out some random micronutrients this strain has more of, praising that it has less gluten. It's just using "science" to justify whatever they already wanted to do.

I guess if you have an industrial arm connected then they could escalate to physical access
Who is "they", and what do you mean by "backdoor access" to your bank account?

If this suspicion existed then you'd see a spread between (gold price in the US) and (gold price outside the US)

Putting aside the question of whether these observations should remain private, it'd be interesting to make a poll here (among straight men) to see if the women's bodies would have been as salient to them as they were to the author.

Or with aging.

There has to be a reason the e-ink industry hasn't done this yet...

SEPA?
PayPal does this well with friends & family transfers.

The key factor isn't whether the author used an LLM, but whether they had taste and attention to quality and iterated accordingly.
Re:Amazon introduces a redesigned Kindle family on Sunday October 04, 2026 @04:44AM (#49951912)
I realized my cellphone has a display that's almost as big as my Kindle, is less hassle to load with books, can scroll/zoom PDFs easier, and won't complain about lacking memory when opening big PDFs.

It's a shame that they deduce your ranking just from the questions. I think the algorithm would be perfect if paired with a manual ranking by the user.

Putting aside the n=1, Chip != Chip.

Yes, and many applications don't need / work on the latest node.
Not gratuitous, Infineon's stock price rose because of the AI datacenter demand.

"We are under-qualified"
Learned German. A little Duolingo, then

* memorizing vocabulary and practicing pronunciation with Anki

* private lessons

* grammar book with exercises

* podcasts

* news

* some books.

Worked very well. Had a good starting point when I arrived in Germany, and the immersion then helped a lot (but I stopped using Anki due to laziness). I found this page very useful: https://puroh.it/learning-german-a1-to-c2/

Re:Mistral raises €3B on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @12:39PM (#49612765)
Aren't the supply chains hopelessly intercoupled in a million tiny ways? E.g. turbine blades being done by this single German company, x1000
And without American AI to patch security holes, Linux and the software running on it will become hopelessly insecure.
Not American, but

1. I don't think Texas was around during the Tea Party, and

2. Property is also a right, so this is just about how much privacy you are willing to sacrifice for how much property.

Wait, I thought they wanted to avoid CoT monitoring, in order to avoid models learning to conceal/encrypt their thoughts.

The article says that one agent proposed emailing someone.

Just got this from the library, it's a real page turner. Heard about it in this excellent interview: https://www.typetheoryforall.com/episodes/goedel-s-incomplet...

Re:Log is non-monotonic in PHP and Lua on Wednesday July 29, 2026 @02:03AM (#49093898)
Good find, but I'm curious if anyone is ever sweeping the base of the logarithm in real life.
Re:OpenAI's rogue model attack is just the beginning on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @06:39AM (#49081918)
I don't think it makes sense to post this in HN. The comments are full of sock puppets posting very dumb anti-safety comments in an attempt to make the anti-safety camp look bad.
Re:Clarity didn't work, trying mysterianism on Thursday July 23, 2026 @03:16AM (#49017960)
A philosopher or meditator should chime in here. Spending a modicum of time in meditation shows you that intentions just show up from nowhere, they're not "you". We might as well call the earring "your prefrontal cortex" (or whatever), and this would describe the current state of things.
I'm not so sure anymore that it's trivial to write this single-job interface without security holes.
