I agree with the risks, but it seems like the solution, at least at the undergrad level -more, and more effective, in-class evaluation, wouldn’t be that hard to achieve. Classes centered around the term paper are the most challenging, but how many of them need to be?

Most people are able to be more nuanced than your typical hn zealot. They strongly dislike Musk, but are begrudgingly able to give credit where credit is due wrt Tesla, SpaceX, etc.

The history of these early networks is really interesting. I was digging into the history of early radio networks and found some of the details of the dedicated circuits fascinating. NBC was actually created by AT&T.

Don't program as a career, but am also 50 and programming since TRS-80. AI has transformed this era, and I LOVE IT! I can focus on making and not APIs or syntax or all of the bootstrapping.

I wondered when I would see someone else mention TRS-80. Recall those days like yesterday "Hey Mah! It works!"

when are Anthropic or OpenAI going to make a significant step forward on useful context size?

1 million is insufficient?

I think key word is 'useful'. I haven't used 1M, but with default 200K, I find roughly 50% of that is actually useful.

Why doesn't Amazon adopt libreoffice?

From my understanding Amazon at least internally uses Salesforce's Quip product which is closer to Google docs than office (live collab). There's still MS office use as well depending on org. Just curious, were you suggesting libreoffice as a cost savings measure or are you just sick of Quip?

Having the entire software ecosystem concentrated in Amazon, Google and Microsoft is not at all a desirable state of affairs.

Just develop it yourself with Claude code. It’s automated.

How about nethack?


For reference for anyone who missed it, the 2021 NetHack challenge results: https://nethackchallenge.com/report.html

That was a whole half a decade ago, but back then deep learning AIs were defeated very badly by handcrafted scripts. Even the best bot in the neural net category was actual a symbolic script/neural net hybrid.


It’s my understanding that ai has had some advances in the last 5 years.


Legally, obviously, the state has authority

That’s not legally obvious. State v county control over courthouses creates fights over everything from Aesbestos to parking to security. The legal answers lie in state constitutional provisions that nobody ever reads and aren’t particularly helpful.


Bzzt.

Generally taxable unless exclusion applies. Main exclusion is personal injury.
