I’ve found Gemini and Codex can do pretty well by just telling them to follow my writing style, be brief, be less robotic, be professional, be semi-professional, use less technical jargon, no em-dashes, etc. depending on the task. But, I on

They’re holding off on doing that kind of thing until they have assurance that it won’t matter if the general public know who specifically they are, that they have this capability, and that they are willing to use it without caring for lega

It started as a comparison, it’s a question of hypocrisy. Very convenient to be able to invent labels like “whataboutism” to stop a comparison when your side starts it but then someone else asks “what about your own history?”

I asked a specific question, what’s the number, and compare it to the answer for the US.

Very convenient for you to ignore the question and sidestep it.

The solution is obvious: AI judges! With complete immunity for model vendors of course, just in case some toddler is sentenced to death or something.

How many wars has China started in the last century?

And the US complained about it then, so what’s your point in calling China’s complaint here chutzpah while leaving the US out?

You think the US doesn’t have similar things?

Gemini never went away, the models and chat app are still called Gemini. Antigravity (IDE and agentic platform instances) are for development unlike Gemini (chat app), which is general-purpose. Gemini CLI was targeted at developers but was

I’m not commenting on whether generative AI is especially resource-wasteful or not, but a lot of people online seem to have newly discovered the existence of data centers.

What might we call such languages?

“Teaching machines to love” That’s rich coming from the chief scientist of a company that definitely is or going to be fine with their AI products being used in wars of aggression and surveillance on people who have done nothing wrong. It’s

Join an industry where they need someone to blame when things go wrong.

Even if in the unlikely case UBI gets implemented, there is no way payment will be equal. Why would the rich give up their positions of power? They’ll just get more security and bribe politicians, enough to build private armies and fortress

There is no reason why automating a server task cannot be a complex piece of software. I think you’re not aware of just what server automation is used for nowadays in countless cases. Also, Python is more popularly used in ML and web-develo

>language for "consenting adults". It doesn't try to prevent you from doing awful things so you can do great things. People who can't program well are given plenty of rope to hang themselves. This is exactly what I re

Totally agreed there, Python is my main language nowadays because of work but the inconsistencies and lack of some very easy to add syntactic sugar to cover up some of the ugliness (like your example above) in a backward compatible way is c

I’m not a regular JS user and haven’t touched the language in a long time, but I remember a (popular?) website for teaching modern JavaScript mentioned that some aspect of the function/macro that returns the type of an object was just

Long before AI work, numerical data crunching is what Python became popular for among non-computer scientists and this led directly to the AI use cases. The reason was obviously the lower barrier to entry without having a software engineeri

A lot of Python design decisions have felt weird and off to me but they’ve long justified it by saying that it’s those little ugly design choices that make the language so usable and effective in practice compared to more well-designed lang

The issue with this in practice is that the rate at which code is produced is often substantially higher than what any human reviewer is capable of processing mentally. Example from my workplace: pull requests that were already too long bef

I think the latter is likely their primary concern. Certain models making hackers more effective doesn’t change that black hat hacking will still be illegal and that’s always been the prime deterrent against capable hackers. While there is

I got the AI ultra plan for gemini, the models are lower quality than claude and codex for sure but it comes with a pretty high limit for my purposes and I haven’t reached the weekly limit yet after about 3 weeks of usage. I have enterprise

Some users on HN in recent months started describing Anthropic as having become a “token merchant” and I think that moniker is quite apt.

As my mathematical statistics professor told us on the first day, “statistics is not mathematics.” It’s a good idea to remember: if a branch of the subject x is called “mathematical x,” then x in general is not totally mathematical and can

Think of the potential layoffs of highly paid employees! But, I think it’s also based on what they are being used for, most LLM users are still mainly SWEs or similar as I understand and there’s a ton of data to train them for coding.
