He's not dead. No need to eulogize just yet.

If CEOs can be replaced, shouldn't founders be also (who are often CEOs)? What about all levels of leadership? Why can't AIs just run full companies autonomously?

Wikipedia is completely unreliable on any area of controversy, there are armies of editors who are skilled in fitting the articles to their agenda.

Why is there an Israel exception to politics on HN?

I just did. No question a number of these comments are completely inexcusable.

2 points:

1. A number of them, especially by more moderate voices, were made in the immediate days after Oct 7 when there was a tremendous amount of anger as a reaction to what happened.

2. The above comment and others like this were made by the extreme of the extreme right in Israel. I don't think that even Ben Gvir would utter such a thing.

Nobody with decision making powers is making any attempt to exterminate a people.

I found that AI models really have a hard time with Android native, kept reverting to the latest libraries which don't have broad support. I had more success with Flutter but still needs a decent amount of course correction.

Isolating Netanyahu like this will only lead to a hardening of the Israeli position because he now truly has nothing to lose

You still will need clear benchmarks as the reward for RL. With Chess, the rules are simple but you may not have a clear loss function for a complicated architectural challenge.

People, the most hawkish parties in the current government are also the most over represented in the army. Don't project US issues on everyone else.

The Hareidi parties are actually the least hawkish in the current government, and historically were equally willing to prop up left wing governments.

"Security" related issues are not on their agenda.

I suggest to put Karpathy in the title for visibility

Understanding existing code is in its wheelhouse (provided the infrastructure feeding the existing code to the prompt is working well), but I believe if you examine the totality of work a human programmer is involved in, an LLM is woefully behind in many areas (gathering proper requirements, potentially iterating/pushing back on requirements, architecting a solution on a macro level, other gaps an LLm cannot fill).
