I hope it's not reductionist, but this kind of thinking always feels like cope in the face of The Bitter Lesson.

The model download is lazy and cached, so it's a one-time cost presumably across all origins (I assume so since the alternative would be a trivial DoS waiting to happen). So it's once per browser, not once per site. You can track

It works, I've shipped this as a "local inference"/poor person's ollama for low-end llm tasks like search. The main win is that it's free and privacy preserving, and (mostly) transparent to users in that they d

Someone should tell the mathematicians if they use a calculator or a whiteboard or heavens forbid a computer they are "bad at math".

TLDR (of the paper): prediction markets are basically a scam with extra steps. If you're not in on the scam (top 3%), you're the sucker (the liquidity).

Even after coding agents. Full replication and debugging of everything in a company's stack, in perpetuity. It definitely takes more than $1000.

Interesting concept, but the pitch is way good to be true, totally defying the laws of economic physics. > Full refund if we can't deliver. It would be more interesting if they charged more, so there is a plausible reality in which

I think many people on HN grew up glued to an internet that wasn't trying to intellectually molest them for capitalist and political gains.

There is no fixing social media. These companies need to do what's best for shareholders, which means do the most addicting and damaging thing. Besides that, we have almost 20 years of evidence of attempting to fix it. Where it's

Can't help but notice the trend of tech companies shaving employees at an accelerating pace. Nobody wants to admit this (and there's a lot of reasons it could be temporary factors like "overhiring"), but to me this seems

Should also keep in mind the secretary of war publicly stated the department's aim is "maximum lethality, not tepid legality". Politics aside, anyone in the supply chain shouldn't be surprised they have a role in illegal

This data is going to get leaked in a breach. It will be used against you in a court of law. It will be used for training and (regardless of what anyone says) will be used to fire you once the AI can do your job. And when all of the above h

You could judge the costs of the AI products you're using by the standard API pricing, not promotional subscription offers.

Whether art is considered good is in practice highly contextual. One of those contexts is who (what) made it.

The article casts doubt on the claim of no experience. He references actual research papers, complains about regressions, and attempts to shape swarms. You decide for yourself.

More like a struggle to STFU about things people don't know much about. I don't think the comments are thought out at all beyond being said in reaction, or likely to get a reaction.

I was speaking more to the willingness of vendors to support. It's debatable how well WebGL(2)/WebGPU are designed and especially implemented. But it does seem like most evolutionary features, if they make it to browsers at all, w

GLSL. Makes sense as the breezy path, but it seems WebGL2 is a dead evolutionary branch, even if it can be transpiled over. What are your thoughts on supporting other languages? Or did I miss that in the docs?

I wonder what kind of frightening new cyber weapons three letter orgs will develop with this. And who they will be used against. They say they're ensuring "guardrails", but to that I say lol as we wait for the next Snowden.
