I am choosing to believe this is satire. A+

Not a satire, this user was the reason I submitted a post asking for a policy only to find out it's already on the front page today.

> this user was the reason

Feeling sad I am 'the reason'. But that's ok.

> asking for a policy

It is always the same sad story. Someone learns a new name, gets trapped inside, and tries to escalate conflict. I will not call that 'open mind'.

The deeper reason is that there is no kindness — many really don't care about others who seem alien to them. They just hide that behind all kinds of names.


You don't realize that "talk to my hand" is an insult, which is exactly what you are doing.

Underlying Foster & Rahmstorf paper is also on the front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47275088). This Nature piece adds context and estimates from other experts in the field.

To me, model card makes sense for something like this https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2029620619743219811. For "sheet"/"brief"/"primer" it is indeed a bit annoying. I like to see the compiled results front and center before digging into a dossier.

Surely this is already happening with our other devices? Not that it isn't a problem but that the game is already lost...?


In the article they make that 2025 is a tipping point where open source frameworks and libraries "just work", making speedy, fun development possible without needing to fight the clunkiness of heavyweight engines.

And any new stuff regarding Celeste or from their devs will forever be relevant to me! Highly recommend to any who haven't played it.


"fewer" doing a lot of work here


I like to think that all these pelican riding a bicycle comments are unwittingly iteratively creating the optimal cyclist pelican as these comment threads are inevitably incorporated in every training set.


More like half of Google's AI team is hanging out on HN, and they can optimise for that outcome to get a good rep among the dev community.


Hello.

(I'm not aware of anyone doing this, but GDM is quite info-siloed these days, so my lack of knowledge is not evidence it's not happening)


Hello.

Please push internally for more reliable tool use across Gemini models. Intelligence is useless if it can't be applied :)

The truth about antidepressants is that the majority of people with depression that respond to an antidepressant would also have responded to a placebo. This doesn't mean that their depression isn't real or that antidepressants "don't work". It just means that placebo has a relatively high response rate in trials for depression. The hate is (among other points) because they are only arguably, marginally, better than placebo, and antidepressants also have real side effects (activation syndrome, increased suicidality, sexual side effects, withdrawals, etc.) over placebo.

What does "would have responded" mean? Are you saying that >50% of people with depression that are "helped" by antidepressant, would have been helped _to a similar extend_ with a placebo?


I believe that is indeed what they meant. The perception of being given a remedy is very powerful indeed, especially for issues ultimately linked to the mind.

That placebos can work should not be seen as undermining the severity or pain of the depression, but rather underline the power of tricking the mind into improvement.


Two papers that might be of interest to people regarding this topic would be Kirsch 2014 and Cipriani 2018.

And yes, agreed with argwhat.


> The hate is (among other points) because they are only arguably, marginally, better than placebo

Only true for some. Inarguably, well-proven false for others.

Likewise, placebos and aspirin are comparable at relieving those headaches where aspirin doesn't really solve the source, but that doesn't mean aspirin's well-documented effects are meaningless in general.
