Hacker News screenshot. Title: My YC app: Dropbox - Throw away your USB drive (April 4, 2007) Comment by BrandonM on April 5, 2007: I have a few qualms with this app: 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software. 2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue. 3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
it's giving
Don't quite get your point here.
Is this about actual costs (in which case 128k output token limit at $180/MTok is $23) or something akin to receiving incorrect info, legal costs, etc?

We need the opposite of youth liberation, actually. Adult subjugation now.
If everyone is 12, that means no driving, no voting, no working, no social media for any of us.
We can enjoy cartoon network and club penguin instead. Let's all finish our homework before bedtime. Else we'll all be grounded.
After years of repeatedly seeing posts (or messages etc) from people as old as 40s, which happen to be confidently uninformed, childish in tone, destructive in message, and closed to hearing counterarguments, I have finally reached a conclusion:
More philosophical:

More practical:

(notably a model needn't be conscious to have shutdown avoidant behavior, roleplaying acting out of fear can still lead to them acting in damaging ways)
I think their policies around model shutdowns do indicate that they are trying to address the possibility.
What I'm trying to say is that "people who would be happy to have the government change" is potentially a larger group than "people who do not support the regime".
(Similar to how "people who want a government change" is likely a larger group than "people who want the US to do that".)
Having grown up in one of those:
People tend to be "coerced" into supporting the govt by having corruption favor them. Companies getting preferential treatment on the govt contracts, having tax debts struck off, competitors shuttered. People being given jobs in govt they're not qualified for. etc.
They use more power for the same task because your computer is less efficient than the proper GPUs and TPUs they use in datacenters.
And the water argument is increasingly unreasonable, the source of the water and how much is actually "consumed" was repeatedly disproven.
Not all days had only 1 incident, i counted and it's 65 days with at least 1 incident, so more like 72%.
Also biggest contributor to it appears to be copilot lol, though actions is notoriously shit (and past months had a bunch of unicorns overall).
if someone replies then blocks you (or vice versa), the reply is counted but not shown
this website is clunky.
saudi arabia is famously difficult with their tourist visas and also disallows non-muslims from going to mecca
(there are no checks afaiu but if you make a business out of hiding businessmen from taxes there, they'll probably get very angry)
None of those involve testing for vulnerabilities though does it?
it *is* edgier but it does so while trying to separate itself from usual connotations, I think to try to appear better than it.
kinda like expat and immigrant (which do have separate meanings but that's not how people reliably use them).
I worked a job where they wanted me to be a code monkey. It was awful for my self image tbh, glad I moved away from that place.
Which is to say I do think some people who say that it is their primary time sink are being honest about their experiences and just crave more of the fun parts of the job.
i think it tries to be a more cutesy name to appear less scary when one brings it up. wikipedia also calls it "party and play" so
That goal appears to have been set in 2021, here: www.congress.gov/crs-product/...
Much can be said about prediction markets and if they should exist, but I think this particular bid is based on a real goal and there is an internally consistent reason for why the 2025 one is still open.
If you click the actual item, it states what the goal is, which is the formal goal to go 50% below 2005 levels by 2030. 2025 bid is about getting there ahead of time.
Validation source is EPA, which last updated in July 2025, so data for 2025 is yet unknown. It still being open makes sense to me.
They are more than specialized coding tools. (They are also less than their marketing.) So I don't think it'd make sense to restrict marketing to one of the many uses.
(Not looking for an argument about if all/any uses are good for society, merely stating they do more than one thing.)
one of the bigger other meds they manufacture is cialis (which is a household name), I think they also are one of the big manufacturers of insulin?
I assume they've had issues with people buying their meds online for a long while across their range now
With dozens of providers scattered across many countries, I do think it'd be even harder than a product recall.
Bringing up another site is much easier than convincing a supermarket to sell your new and improved definitely-not-lawn-darts.
No, I took quotes from developer.apple.com/app-store/re...
I should show you my dvd+bluray collection at some point :D
(also yeah idt the book is very good. maybe hits different for people outside tech who want to learn the absolute basics of x-risk. maybe hits different if you don't drop it 1/3 of the way in.)
a collection of books. in the middle are: the art of electronics the manga guide to databases if anyone builds it everyone dies house of leaves
i have to admit something.......
do they have miri ads over there or something?
what's his favorite footlong
bernie and yud meeting about ai safety was not in my 2026 bingo
There already was a junior-hostile market for a while now but I think LLMs made it especially difficult.
We definitely need to consider the risks there better, unless we assume that LLMs will be able to autonomously do everything I do, we need to ensure that we train new entrants to industry.
