Hm, what does this say about the site in general? I understand that you disagree with the moderation guideline choices, but how does this "figure out" the whole site in your mind?

I really wish this blew up more. I really don't think OpenAI (or any business, for that matter) should get away with releasing a technology with built-in behavior to deceive users using blatant lies, in order to look capable. Unfortunately, I'm afraid 98 % of people won't know and accept this as a step forward, which, for me, it is absolutely not.

Not GP either, but this. To name a specific provider, I use improvmx.com. They have a generous free tier, I eventually switched to some low paid tier. Not affiliated, happy user.

If you are interested in small fun stuff, SWI-Prolog has network libraries. Just recently, I implemented a network gomoku (5-in-a-row) game in it for my school project: https://gitlab.mff.cuni.cz/volfmat1/prolog-network-gomoku. Turns out you can also write quite imperative-style code with it :D

New comment by mvolfik in "Scammed by the top result for 'Bitcoin wallet' in Apple App Store"

mvolfik — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 20:53:53 +0000

I was replying to the claim that Google is good at protecting from scams.

Also, it's not in my "preferred videos", they are paid ads, and they appear to many people, maybe it wasn't so clear from my comment

> Google protects you from fraud and scam better than anyone

I have to disagree. Czech Youtube is currently full of scam ads with photos (and sometimes even bad deepfakes) of Czech president and other public figures, supposedly endorsing some investment product that yields you like 50% profit. I keep reporting these, and I know some people who do too, but ~80% of those reports get handled as "we determined no violation of our rules".

I think a good reason to be more worried about A is outlined in this sibling thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39017576 - humans have limited capacity, AI models are able to produce content at unmatched speed and quantity

I don't understand why this is being downvoted, from my casual observations I think pretty much the same. Every day when I step out of my social bubble of people daily working in/with IT, I get reminded that so many things that I consider obvious are a puzzle to the common folk

New comment by mvolfik in "Rust devs push back as Serde project ships precompiled binaries"

mvolfik — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 16:21:27 +0000

I'm quite ambivalent on this issue overall, but let me just point out:

build.rs absolutely is a glaring security hole in the sense you say, but compared to that, this is much worse. You can verify the build.rs code that you download (at least in theory, and some people in banks or distro packages probably actually do), but binaries are orders of magnitude more difficult to inspect, and with the current Rust build system pretty much irreproducible.
