That has got to be the most benchmarks I've ever seen posted with an announcement. Kudos for not just cherrypicking a favorable set.

He might be right about intelligence becoming the new currency in a world where intelligence becomes fungible. Lots of assumptions about the path to get there, though. And interesting that he's measuring intelligence in energy terms.

I like that people are experimenting with HTMX, so please keep it up. But I don't think MESH is one I would pick up for my projects: - For complex apps, I love JSX for its ability to distill complexity into simple, discrete components.

I think that is the bigger difference, I agree, but I think the format and media involved still have an effect on the type of discussion that takes place
485.

I wonder how much of the difference is just because HN doesn't allow you to post / display images inline like Reddit does, forcing users to engage with the content (written or video) rather than just reflexively upvote low-effort

For me it was very sensitive to even one red pixel from a sign not being selected

Started laughing out loud at the recursively smaller stop sign squares

I meant that the authors of the study should have gone much deeper, and WaPo should not have published such a lazy study.

Not true at all. You can take a vector for a given embedding and compare it to other things in that area of latent space to get a sense for how it is categorized by the model. You can even do this layer by layer to see how the model evolves

That was pointed at Crowdstrike - the authors of the study - who should definitely have that skill level.

Dude - I can't believe we're at the point where we're publishing headlines based on someone's experience writing prompts with no deeper analysis whatsoever. What are the exact prompts and sampling parameters? It's a

I love this sort of self-starter experimenting. Curious what models have been tried, I saw Grok4 mentioned, curious how well it transfers to other models.

Yeah I always hesitate to use emojis in any document or design for this reason, you have no idea how it's going to look to other viewers

The article gives some examples of scope creep but missed the biggest one IMO: copyright enforcement. I suspect if you follow the money, copyright is what keeps things like Chat Control coming back. Fully expect Sony, Disney and other IP to

I think there's something uniquely distracting about the constant availability of phones. We have muscle-memory now that can reflexively open a little hit of reward anytime we're in an idle moment. Now instead of choosing to open

I generally find rootless pretty easy, it's just annoying that it's an additional few steps. Feels like an afterthought when it should be the default.

You're absolutely right about the HN bias, but we're also a crowd with a lot of experience in some of the jobs supposedly being replaced and with the tools supposedly replacing us, and it's a little hard to buy. The data abou

This article discusses attention in a very immediate sense, but I think most of the points also apply to long-term attention. Our behaviors are determined by habit far more than anything, willpower is seldom enough to result in behavioral p

This did not go where I thought it was going, and I'm glad. I enjoyed the read. I'm not versed enough in psychiatry to validate the brain-chemistry stuff but my practical experience lines up. Reminds me of the trick of telling you

I also have yet to see anyone meaningfully differentiate between "AI is taking jobs" and "AI hype is causing stupid executive decisions" and even "AI hype is sucking up all the capital that would normally go towards

Then in a subscription economy- where having a poor credit score can result in loss of housing, insurance, and more- opaque unelected beureaus are wielding tremendous power. Perhaps they are not evil or even unfair, but if you'll recal

Many examples were given, please read the linked article. And again, in a society where everything is monetized, you can argue that creditworthiness is a just proxy for anything. So if basic water and electric access or housing access can b

Again, missing the point - it is a system that has become a centralized digital scoring mechanism. This is dangerous because it centralizes power, giving institutions that are not even under democratic control the power to punish individual

Hey I see you're quibbling on details, maybe because you feel determined to win an argument to save face or something. I must point out that nobody here cares whether you were wrong, and digging in your heels even after multiple people
