> I propose we call this vibe engineering Seriously? The term has been around in the community for as long as "vibe coding" has been around. While both sound equally cringe, the statement leaves a bad taste.

Overall, appears rather underwhelming. Long way to go still for video generation. Also, launching this as a social app seems like yet another desperate try to productize and monetize their tech, but this is the position big VC money forces

While I tend to agree, the other players (Anthropic, OAI, Google) don't have super unique USPs compared to one another, either. Just to be fair.

Mistral recently being valued at $14 billion in the previous funding appears like a steal to me, especially compared to the Anthropic and OAI valuations. Would be interesting to compare revenues and growth rates as well to put these valuati

MCP is as revolutionary as JSON. Still, funny to see numerous hyped GenAI start-ups with bad monetary traction jump on the bandwagon and proclaim MCP as the latest revolution (after RAG, Agents, you name it)...All of these are simply tools

How so? What makes this blog stand out in terms of quality? I prefer a constructive discussion over personal questions, maybe you should, too.

Serious question: Why does it appear that pages from this URL very often end up on top of HN? I don't find the content particularly special compared to the average HN post. Does the algorithm prefer certain URLs?

How is it a win for Google to release something open-source that had potentially cost them lots of money? Even if they don't need and pursue it anymore, why would they just give it to the competition? It's always easily said to &

Signs of market traction and executing on product development. All other mentioned companies never made it there.

Mistral really became what all the other over-hyped EU AI start-ups / collectives (Stability, Eleuther, Aleph Alpha, Nyonic, possibly Black Forest Labs, government-funded collaborations, ...) failed to achieve, although many of them ex

Which is still quite a lot. Litecoin (among other alternatives) provides the exact same service for close to zero cost and at a better speed.

Call it AI, ML, Data Mining, it does not matter. Truth is these tools have been disrupting the SWE market and will continue to do so. People working with it will simply be more effective. Until even them are obsolete. Don't hate the pl

My hunch is it would work somewhat, but poorly. Languages encode similar human experiences, so their conceptual spaces probably have natural alignments even without translation examples. Words for common objects or emotions might cluster si

Is this a serious comment? "Apple has the means to do something highly illegal that benefits them and they're stupid they don't make use of it?" Even if you were right (which I don't think) this is not how one shoul

From a business perspective, I haven't identified a single selling point in your post as it's very tailored towards engineering people, which likely is your main problem. Why did you build it in the first place? What was the marke

The Turing Test does not aim at measuring intelligence. It's about differentiating between human being and machine.

While I agree with the rather negative sentiment towards the term itself, I find it at least interesting to see how some "engineers" have their pride and feelings hurt here. Well, turns out software engineering isn't gonna be

Agreed, my bad.

Exactly. Very telling that this appears to need explicit mentioning.

This is a dinosaur's view. I guess there were people who said the same back when calculators were invented.

This is a dangerous stand and just factually wrong.

Well, since the president very publicly sides with Russia, it's only right to hurt America. This is what you voted for.

The social and morale compass of the US is not comparable. Which also reflects in politics, obviously.

Replace "LLMs" by "the internet", go back in time 20 years, and you have the type of comment from back then...oops

Read through the repo. This is not making use of agents at all, it's just another LLM wrapper app with no actual added value.

by beernet 2y ago
Agents are a tool and must be treated as such. Is the tool worthless? Depends on its application. There seems to be lots of confusion around this topic by people not experienced with data and analytics.

The actual top EU AI labs like Mistral, Black Forest Labs, or Stability AI are nowhere to be seen. Same goes for potent, established companies like SAP, Schwarz Group and the like. They likely made the right move here as this is doomed to f
