You are correct, and anyone that couldn’t come to that conclusion needs to stop overthinking the problem it is pretty basic 101 intro to logic type question.

Hmm go to North Korea and let me know about their drug use and violent crime; internet arm chair comments like these just show how out of touch most people on HN are
Very young courtry but most successful in the last 200 years
What do you mean by young?
Roman Empire young? Relative terms like young/old when applied to a country that’s a melting of all others let’s me believe you’re not an American or have studied American history in depth.
Stay strapped. Sorry to be harsh, but it’s not policies that keep you and yours safe. You need to protect you and yours and government policies aren’t going to protect you from hard drug users. Sorry you had a terrible experience but since ancient times people have weapons to defend against any enemy.
> Hereby it is manifest, that during the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called Warre; and such a warre, as is of every man, against every man. ...
> In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; ... no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short.
— Hobbes, Leviathan
Notably, Hobbes's point is that we entered a social contract—placing a Power above ourselves—in order to avoid this eternal warfare.
The kind of environment you describe, where the government cannot protect you from violence and so you have to protect yourself, is the definition of a failed state. It's not a normal situation that happens with normal governments.
I will say here what I have said many times in real life: if I had been carrying a gun I would probably have been shot with it - dead men tell no tales and they certainly ran my pockets.
I was jumped from in front and behind by two people by complete surprise and tackled to the ground. The amount of time between the beginning of the assault and losing consciousness was only a few seconds. From the video it looks like they already tried to kill me by repeatedly stomping on my head and kicking me in the face. I'm speculating but I think if they found a gun on me they would have just shot me with it.
That is chilling. I am so sorry you experienced this.
What neighborhood was this in? I used to do long urban hikes throughout Seattle and have had a few close calls with near-mugging. Since the pandemic it has begun to feel really risky to randomly wander around.
Yes, that was obvious as soon as I saw it wasn’t live I clicked off.
You can train any LLM to perform a certain task(s) well and google engineers are not that dense.
This was obvious marketing PR as open AI has completely made google basically obsolete with 90% of my queries can be answered without wading through LLM generated text for a simple answer.
If LLMs can replace 90% of your queries, then you have very different search patterns from me. When I search on Kagi, much of the time I’m looking for the website of a business, a public figure’s social media page, a restaurant’s hours of operation, a software library’s official documentation, etc.
LLMs have been very useful, but regular search is still a big part of everyday life for me.
Sure we now have options, but before LLMs, most queries relied solely on search engines, often leading to sifting through multiple paragraphs on websites to find answers — a barrier for most users.
Today, LLMs excel in providing concise responses, addressing simple, curious questions like, "Do all bees live in colonies?"
Though because you don’t see the answers it doesn’t show you, it’s hard to really validate the quality, so I’m still wary, but when I look for specific stuff it tends to find it.
Ridiculous article. Gossip and no way a multi-billion dollar company came to its knees due to pretty pronouns. Remove this gossip it has no place here. Better suited for a gossip site.
The writing style, especially the introduction anecdote is so off putting I could barely stomach the article.
However , I agree with the sentiment of most readers that the problem with dating apps seems to be the quantity / quality problem——without being able to accurately portray quality on most of these platforms.
