Do you?? Show me an HN thread where half the comments are paid for

How can you accurately detect what is and isn't a not?

You seem very confident you can tell the difference so I thought I'd ask first.


That strikes me as a really poorly calibrated expectation. Who benefits? Who's paying? How could I get this job?

I don't know who would be paying, but there are many comments here that are semantically indistinguishable from paid shill comments. I don't have a great explanation for it other than people tend to attribute way too much power to whatever random supplements they're on about (you'll see it in vitamin D or B12 threads too, and especially nootropics (which includes creatine) discussions).

This is AI written, according to pangram, and also obviously

Show me a graph of your javelin skill doubling every six months and I'll start asking myself if you'll be the next champion


I could easily make that graph a reality and sustain that pace for a couple years, considering I'm starting from 0 javelin skill.


You could also nerf your performance at random times and then get good at it again, and extend the illusion for longer.


It is a simple mathematical fact that if you get married one year and have twins the next, your household will contain over a million people within 20 years.



It didn't used to be regulated. How do you explain the fact that not everyone used to be an opiate addict?


Because we regulated it when it got bad. Other countries have had opioid epidemics and they’ve had to intervene. China is a very famous example because the British didn’t like the crackdown as it affected other trade


We regulated it as a means to police certain communities.

Hell, Billie holiday suffered from addiction but that bastard Harry Anslinger ordered doctors to not treat her and not provide her with methadone. She died with police stationed at her hospital room door. The FBI also harassed her over songs about lynching.

Nixon is literally on tape saying to go after weed and heroin more harshly as an excuse to arrest more anti-war protesters and civil rights protestors.

I'd argue "cracking down" has done little for controlling drug abuse and has primarily been a method for selective policing. Particularly in the states.


But how do you explain the fact that, before it got bad, it wasn't /already/ bad. You've gotta have some model for why there was a change if the rate wasn't previously at 100% and the claim is that the number "should be 100% unless it was regulated"


> Barely passing body-text contrast in dark themes

This has been killing me recently. Apparently I need slightly higher contrast than some people, and these vibe coded UIs are basically unreadable to my eyes


Yeah, when I'm writing code I try to avoid zeros and ones, since those are the most common bits, making them essentially noise


Do you? What's the technical detail here? Why can't you get the model's prediction, even for that first token?


I mean mathematically you need at least one vector to propagate through the network, don't you? That would be a one hot encoding of the starting token. Actually interesting to think about what happens if you make that vector zero everywhere.

In the matmul, it'd just zero out all parameters. In older models, you'd still have bias vectors but I think recent models don't use those anymore. So the output would be zero probability for each token, if I'm not mistaken.



OpenAI wants to not be responsible for "accidents" that kill more than 100 people, despite some critics arguing that their current actions are likely to cause such harms.
