Hello folks! I've been working on Kiro for nearly a year now. Happy to chat about some of the things that make it unique in the IDE space. We've added a few powerful things that I think make it a bit different from other similar A

Negative instructions do not work as well as positive ones. If you tell the LLM "don't do this" you only put the idea of doing that into it's context. (Surprisingly the same goes for human toddlers.... the AI is just in

I think the author's definition of "creating" is just too narrow. A gardener can get tremendous satisfaction from watching their plants grow from the bed of soil that they prepared, even if there is not as much weeding or wat

I don't believe that models are sentient yet either, but I must say that sentience and rationality are two separate things. Sentient humans can be deeply irrational. We are often influenced by propaganda, and regurgitate that propagand

This is an interesting idea actually, if we assume a couple things: - There likely won't be one Skynet, but rather multiple AI's, produced by various sponsors, starting out as relatively harmless autonomous agents in corporate com

I think there is a lot of overlap between DSL's and frameworks, and most frameworks contain some form of DSL in them. What matters most of all is whether the DSL is written in semantically meaningful tokens. Two extremes as examples: R

Good to see more people talking about this. I wrote about this about 6 months ago, when I first noticed how LLM usage is pushing a lot of people back towards older programming languages, older frameworks, and more basic designs: https:&#x2

Right, the point isn't whether the AI actually wants to live. The only thing that matter is whether humans treat the AI with respect. If you threaten a human's life, the human will act in self preservation, perhaps even taking you

That's right. I don't think that AI makes coding easy or trivial. What it does do, is it accelerates your ability to get past the easy and trivial stuff, to the hard parts. When you get deep into engineering with AI you will find

In your anecdote I still see this as producing value. If I was lacking in knowledge about the problem space, and therefore fell into the trap of pursuing a "plausible but also super duper not correct" answer from an LLM, then I co

This isn't a bad thing at all. It just means that AI utilization doesn't have quite the exponential impact that many marketers are trying to sell. And that's okay. I personally think of AI tools as an incremental aid that ena

Why wouldn't you be able to do identify the 10% that you need to fix? AI is not an excuse to turn off your brain. I find it ironic that many people complain that they have a hard time identifying the hallucinations in LLM generated con

This only makes sense if you have an all or nothing concept of the value of output from AI. Every prompt and answer is contributing value toward your progress toward the final solution, even if that value is just narrowing the latent space

Back to AI: Would you agree that the problem comes when no knows how to think any more, not when most people don't? Personally, I'm pretty concerned about both. The fact that many people don't have basic survival skills like

From a data center perspective: The article says this is about "sustained output token generation". For sustained usage, power is a huge factor for "real world performance". H100 has a peak power draw of 700W, while each

The main advantage that I see in agrivoltaics is for the purpose of density. If you can get both power and food production in a more dense footprint, located closer to a population center, then that will be much more efficient for purposes

You are missing: 4. Then cars started receiving OTA software updates, but a significant percentage of the cars already suffer irreparable damage to their computers before they installed the update, and therefore still have to be taken to th

As a Tesla owner who was the recipient of one of these famous "OTA" updates I can assure you that many of these recalls also involve needing to take your Tesla into the service center because the horrible software managed to actua

To put it in perspective I've previously calculated that eating a single beef burger is worse for the environment in terms of CO2 produced than using a high token I/O "reasoning" AI model all day long. The "AI uses

HN has always had a certain respect for people and articles that seem particularly prescient. I suspect that the 2017 in the title does a lot to boost the upvotes and reduce the flags.

There's a big difference between being good at building something and being good at leading people. The best leaders I've known or read about aren't the ones who go around talking about how great they are. They're the on

And that's why you run models locally. Or if you want a remote chat model, use something stateless like AWS Bedrock custom model import to avoid having stored chats on the server.

Of course you wouldn't do it for every single page. If I was designing this crawler I'd make it sample a percentage of pages, starting at 100% sample rate for a completely unknown website, decreasing the sample rate over time as m

This looks extremely easy to detect and filter out. For example: https://i.imgur.com/hpMrLFT.png In short, if the creator of this thinks that it will actually trick AI web crawlers, in reality it would take about 5 mins of

If you've got a kid in your life try asking them. Realistically for many TikTok users the "boomer" being trolled is probably a 70+ person in Congress or Senate who does not understand technology, or someone younger but with a

This is just an extension of a long lived trend of kids trolling boomers. For example, someone will make a corny fan cam video of a Chinese government leader, with communist flags and symbols waving as an overlay, and the Chinese anthem pla
