Anything that requires deep “understanding” or novel invention is not a job for a statistical word regurgitator. I’ve yet to see a single example, in any field, of an LLM actually inventing something truly novel (as judged by the experts in

Is it just me or does it feel like a lot of Big Tech empires are immovable? There are no winner takes all markets now. Massive incumbents are not replaced by another even more massive startup that gobbles up the market, but rather a collect

Chargebacks in Canada are more often decided in favour of the merchant instead of the consumer, as I've found out the hard way. By the way, good luck with arbitration, courts, or the police in Canada. They can't even stop brazen c

Since when is using a hose as a shower considered "sophisticated tool use"?

Why do writing tools have to be a feature of every app instead of an operating-system wide tool like Apple Intelligence? Makes no sense whatsoever to just "sprinkle AI everywhere" except for specialized use cases.

Typical hacker misconception regarding the law. You don't need to implement perfect tracking to enforce a law. Make it illegal and then let BigTech use their AI algorithms to detect and block minor accounts. Parents will also play a ma

This sort of holier-than-thou moral take and self-delusion is the reason Democrats lost. It’ll be interesting to see if this losing take disappears because it got summarily defeated, and what new narrative the new-left adopts next.

No. That is not how language works. "Money laundering" does not mean putting paper bills into a washing machine. "Private equity" firms are a specific business structure besides the literal meaning.

All of the examples given in the article are contrived, textbook-style examples. Real world projects are far more messy. I want someone to talk about their flow with Cursor on a mature codebase in production with lots of interlaced componen

Is there an automated way to check results and reduce hallucinations? Would it help to do a second pass with another LLM as a sanity check to see if numbers match?

Seems pretty easy to mitigate. Just strip out invisible characters from input?

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. There seems to be an “optimal” scale for tech — Google used to be amazing and wonderful about a decade ago, until it reached a certain scale. So were Facebook, etc. And even the positive effects of darli

The military applications are obvious, I assume. "Qanat" might even be a code word for terrorist hideout and underground infrastructure.

Pen and paper? LLMs are literally a computer program that cannot compute.

As a non radio engineer, reading this thread on HN is so fascinating because there are so many heated conflicting explanations for a common phenomenon in a well-established technology. I thought this simple question would be settled already

What I don’t understand is why, in the example of flight seat mapping provided, you create a DO per flight. So does a DO correspond to a “model” in MVC architecture? What if I used DOs in a per-tenant way, so one DO per user. And then how d

I’m beginning to understand the worldview of these people. For those who don’t understand science and technology, it is simply magic. And the government and scientists are magicians. So it’s not surprising when they blame the magicians for

The lunacy is definitely worse in the Anglosphere. I moved to Eastern Europe a few years ago and it's way more sane (and yes, I speak the local languages here). See this article about Emmanuel Todd forecasting the collapse of the West

Any single number is worthless for comparing quality of life, per capita or not. How do you use a number to take into account the fact that some people don't have access to healthcare in the US or "freedom" in Russia?

That's circular reasoning. You're defining "success" as "line go up" and then saying we made the "line go up" therefore we were successful. If you define success as GDP per capita, then sure, the coun

Same except for me it’s Laravel and Livewire. Not having to build a separate app on the frontend and backend dramatically simplifies development. And Livewire now has a proper component library (Flux).

I’m a business owner. It’s not just about the cost. It’s also about the improvement in control, visibility and efficiency. This has long term compounding effects, such that well-architected in-house applications may be literally millions of

Attestation statements can be used to restrict WebAuthn use to certain hardware keys only.

But I believe there is a spoof-proof way to accept hardware keys only? Limit yourself to known good hardware manufacturers and you should be good.

I’ve actually seriously been thinking of using WebAuthn to “authenticate” every single page load with a passkey unlocked by a biometric device only, so that I can be sure that every single page load had a meat finger on TouchID or a meat fa
