What if you're able to pinpoint unique loci for an individual or group which can serve as a target of a highly specific bio-weapon? Do you think genomic bio-weapons aren't being explored as future weapons?

everydayentropy | 2 years ago | on: Do other founders also feel the need to work alone sometimes?
If it's not a troll post, I hope the founder gets a solid dose of reality. I mean, if he doesn't take comments like yours to heart and reflects on the absurdity of his worldview, then the narcissism runs deep in that one.

I don't see ever see the wide adoption of an AI homeschooling solution coming to fruition due to this fact.

People optimize for search engines, not brevity and therein lies the problem.
Be concise and communicate your idea. That should be the North Star of writers.

The FTC is not only stifling innovation by strong-arming companies which produce these tools to limit their capabilities. They're potentially running afoul of the first amendment by imposing restrictions on IP and thus speech.
Can go a step further and consider the 1A protections of generative output.

This terrifies me more than climate alarmism.

No. AI is not the oracle at Delphi.

Proprietary systems are company IP. Talking about the design of the system is protected by the NDA, which the exercise described above is asking the candidate to do.
You hire for the skills to develop your own proprietary system. The employer doesn't own the skill. The employer owns anything those skills produced for the employer.
You wouldn't want your employees giving the recipe to your secret sauce away to your competitor, right? That's what everyone is talking about.

everydayentropy | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the best lecture series you've seen?
And probably hypocritically, I also want to kick back, turn off the critical side of my brain and enjoy the lectures and get some learning for free while not questioning every claim. Edutainment so to speak. But that requires a lot of trust, and if that trust seems threatened, I can't in good conscience continue my lazy learning.

Logically, it's affirming the consequent.
everydayentropy | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the best lecture series you've seen?
I came to that point about the cycle synchronization in his lecture series and I had to stop. Not entirely because of the error, but because the phenomenon he cited was controversial well before he gave those lectures. That tells me he was not one to a) update his beliefs b) predisposed to falsifying his beliefs/seeking out contrary evidence or c) acknowledge disagreement about a phenomenon
Any one or combination of those qualities makes me skeptical when one is teaching a "science". So rather than spend the rest of the series second guessing everything he said, I stopped watching. It's a shame, he's really a great lecturer.

OP if you read my previous comment, then that does not apply to the phrase that ethanbond corrected.
everydayentropy | 3 years ago | on: Tell HN: Sometimes you don't realise how bad something is until you leave
Safe to say that no, not idiomatic. And if you use this phrase as quoted people will be very confused and have no idea what you're trying to communicate.
