Telling the LLM not to hallucinate reminds me of, "why don't they build the whole plane out of the black box???"

Most people are just lazy and eager to take shortcuts, and this time it's blessed or even mandated by their employer. The world is about to get very stupid.

“X isn’t the problem, people are the problem.” — the age-old cry of industry resisting regulation.

It's not about resisting. It's about undermining any action whatsoever.

If a carpenter builds a crappy shelf “because” his power tools are not calibrated correctly - that’s a crappy carpenter, not a crappy tool.

If a scientist uses an LLM to write a paper with fabricated citations - that’s a crappy scientist.

AI is not the problem, laziness and negligence is. There needs to be serious social consequences to this kind of thing, otherwise we are tacitly endorsing it.

This reminds me about discourse about a gun problem in US, "guns don't kill people, people kill people", etc - it is a discourse used solely for the purpose of not doing anything and not addressing anything about the underlying problem.

So no, you're wrong - AI IS THE PROBLEM.

These statements are so out of touch with reality, I generally wonder where will YC be in 5-10 years.

There should be something of an OFAC Sanction List for SWE for people who blatantly transgress moral and ethical lines.

You don't need a passport to have a job. A digital ID could be handy in loads of places - like showing you're eligible for hospital care, voting, stuff employment... Even buying a drink! (not everyone drives).

Most countries have them and it's not for no reason.

Whether we can trust our government, though, is a different matter.

(FYI Not a UK citizen) But it does matter. If I go to a protest against the government will I be rejected of all those services since someone flagged my ID?

> I asked Claude if there is such a way to basically hard-code branch prediction rules into the machine code, and the answer was that there’s no way to do this on x86, but there is a way on ARM: the BEQP (predict branch taken) and BEQNP (predict branch not taken) instructions.

> Those ARM instructions are just hallucinated, and the reality is actually the other way around: ARM doesn’t have a way of hard-coding ‘predictions’, but x86 does.

This made me chuckle. Thanks.

Why not HIBP (Have I Been Pwned) style site to check against the database if your number is in?

I think it's very possible that we won't get self-driving cars because, similar to nuclear energy, we'll decide that the risks aren't worth it.

But it'll be based on risks introduced by preventable human error- hubris, etc.

All it will take is some viral video of a Tesla running over a child or something terrible like that.

We already have self-driving cars: look at Waymo, etc. look at chinese ride-hailing companies. What we won't have is private-use self-driving cars: a regular person will not be able to buy one.
