Commercial drones can't bring down buildings. And they're still subject to an awful lot of regulations.


So it’s complete building destruction that is the protective mission here? Not loss of life or general terrorism or something else? I’m glad we are clarifying

I wasn’t aware that DJI drone with 60lb payload was subject to more regulations than a Citation leaving TEB but I guess I’m open to learning what those are.


Why are you spending so much effort helping the most privileged people on the planet? Makes no sense to be their white knight


Why are you wasting time here? Even a letter to the editor would be more effective than an HN comment.


And it had blatantly insufficient safety guarding that. I saw photos of 4th graders, labeled accordingly, that Grok happily modified. Given the model does have access to the text content of posts it's replying to, that's wildly negligent. This is not a simple brush tool we're talking about, and refusing requests to strip clothes off people is one of the most basic measures that could be taken here.


It gets worse with added context: signed up for a free trial of Disney+ on a PS5 many years ago.


It gets worse x2: the executor of the estate having signed up for Disney+ means the estate of the deceased loses the right to sue, despite the deceased having never signed up. Like a client being bound by all unrelated legal agreements their lawyer entered into.

(If I recall the details correct, it has been a while since I read into that case.)


Common sense and decency has departed the world's economic and legal systems for a while, huh?

It now seems to be a "how evil can I be without it affecting our bottom line?" system.


It's all just games, they just want to win. Dollars are the overall points, but they're even willing to sacrifice some of those to win bigger cases more brutally.


Seems like a poor advertisement for their product if their shining example of utility is a broken compiler that doesn't function as the README indicates.


Impressive that it made a c compiler though? Or do we judge all programmers by their documentation now?


All it took was all the C compilers they could scrape into their training set.

It’s not impressive in the sense that it’s doing what it was designed to.

It just happens that it generated a C compiler that kind of worked.

Someone came by later and used more AI on it to make it closer to a production grade C compiler like gcc/clang.

Saying, “it made a C compiler,” is not specific enough.


Thankfully we aren't forced to pick between them, "neither" is the current status quo and will do quite nicely for the foreseeable future.


No, it's prone to assuming or falsifying details even when it has the tools at hand that could verify the true details. Even when explicitly instructed to perform a specific tool call that would load the correct information into its context. Sometimes the pull of the training data is too strong and it will just not make the call and output garbage, all the while claiming otherwise.


There are also, separately, DNS issues that Archive.today chooses to block certain providers from. For instance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317


And the ones that aren't simply "don't be depressed" are a lottery for anyone, even those not suffering depression. In the US, current projections are for 300 new jobs per state per month this year. Even accounting for retirees and deaths, last I looked at the numbers, there have been 2M more new additions to the workforce (people turning 18) than there are new jobs for those new additions, all competing with the large unemployed and laid off populations.

It's similarly often not easy to solve relationship stressors or noise pollution.


I agree we are headed into very unstable times, all the more reason for people to exercise. The stress relief effect is magical, and if you do it outside you get some fresh air and vitamin D. Exercise isn't a magic cure to make everyone honkey dorey but I do believe it should be seen as one of the best (and free) tools we have to maintain mental health.


This is one of those proverbial regulations that are written in blood. So no, that's not the worst case.


Yes, JWST can see as far back as 300 million years after the big bang.
