Yeah ok, I was aware of this, but it doesn't say that the timestamps of comments will be modified! That's what I have an issue with. It may be a minor, ridiculous nitpick, but it's like editing my content without my consent.

I saw this days ago and commented here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43089426 The comments with the next or previous ids (43089427, 43089425) correctly state that they are 3 days old. But my comment below says it wa

Yeah, it's really hard for me to understand the thing with eggs. Do people really buy that many eggs? We're a family of 5, cook every day (never buy takeout) and consume, maybe, 6 eggs a month? when we bake cakes? which we do extr

I'm one of them. DJI "pro" remotes are Android devices that for some reason are completely un-googled but can run the Amazon app store; if you want to run, say, Litchy on such a device (an alternative to DJI Fly app), Amazon

OT: refusing to capitalize the first word of each sentence is an annoying posture that makes reading what you write more difficult. I tend to do it too when taking notes for myself because I'm the only reader and it saves picoseconds o

This article is weak and just general speculation. Many people doubt the actual performance of Grok 3 and suspect it has been specifically trained on the benchmarks. And Sabine Hossenfelder says this: > Asked Grok 3 to explain Bell&#x27

They are not analyzing the same code base, they are all contributing to the same code base, each in their own domain. It would seem relevant that any advice an LLM gives to one of them is kept consistent -- in real time -- with any other ad

This is all fine for a solo dev, but how does this work with a team / squad, working on the same code base? Having 7 different instances of an LLM analyzing the same code base and making suggestions would not just be economically waste

It kind of does have to be one file, because foreign keys can't be enforced across files. For a simple example, if you have one db file per user, as others recommend, how do you check that a username or an email is unique? Do you maint

This is all true. Like most people here I'm deeply, deeply in love with SQLite, but using it on the server is not worth it, exactly for the reasons listed in the post. To paraphrase: a big part of the appeal of SQLite is that there&#x2

Excellent article. Should also mention that the tanks used to invade France in 1940 were for the most part built in Czechoslovakia in 1938-1940 (not just existing "intact Czechoslovakia tanks"). If war had been declared in 1938

DeepSeek is an open model that can be "untrained" to be uncensored; Grok to the best of my knowledge isn't [0]. So it's much worse. [0]: What Musk has said is that when Grok 3 is "ready" (?), the previous model

It is (was) very convenient to buy ebooks on Amazon, download them to Calibre, and strip them of DRM so that you ended up owning them for real. If that's no longer possible then there's no point in using Amazon for this, yes.

> code works or it doesn't It seems you're deliberately confusing "works" with "runs". They're different things.

by bambax 2y ago
The problem is what one means by "works". Is it just that it runs without triggering exceptions here and there? One has to know, and understand, what the code is supposed to be doing, to evaluate it. Or use tests. But LLMs love to

Excellent project, congrats! About the cleaning up phase: the author cleaned up the bitmaps before the vectorizing stage, and that included separating lines. In my experience it's a little bit easier to clean the vectorized results by

I joined Pinboard at a time when there was no recurring costs, just a small fee to join, for life. I think I paid $10 total, 12 or 15 years ago, and not a penny since. For that amount it's a pretty good deal.

The only true part is 2. 1 is plainly false. Enormous ressources have been poured into models since the end 2023 and the "intelligence" (for lack of a better term) has stayed roughly the same, around the level of GPT-4. Nothing ha

The very term "AGI" is a confession that the I in AI doesn't stand for intelligence. What is even the opposite of "general intelligence"? Specialized intelligence? But AI already has a large spectrum. It's not
