Actually I found the coding models to work really well with these languages. And the type systems are not actually complex. Ocaml's type system is actually really simple, which is probably why the compiler can be so fast. Even back in

We already have verification layers: high level strictly typed languages like Haskell, Ocaml, Rescript/Melange (js ecosystem), purescript (js), elm, gleam (erlang), f# (for .net ecosystem). These aren’t just strict type systems but the

I would guess HN readers are not an average cross-section of broader society, but I would also guess that because of that HN readers would be pretty bad at understanding what broader society is thinking.

I guess the translation can always update itself in real time if the model is fast enough.

Some of your points are already considered with current implementations. Airpods live translate uses your phone to display what you say to the target person, and the target person's speech is played to your airpods. I think the main is

This is the sad reality of most if these AI products and it’s that they are just taking poor feature implementations on the hardware. It seems like if they just picked one or these features and doing it well will make the glasses useful. Me

Real time translations is a real good use case. The problem is most implementations such as the Airpods live translate are not great.

Current LLMs are doing this for coding, and it's very effective. It delegates to tool calls, but a specialized model can just be thought of as another tool. The LLM can be weak in some stuff handled by simple shell scripts or utilities

But these models are more like generalists no? Couldn’t they simply be hooked up to more specialized models and just defer to them the way coding agents now use tools to assist?

I think a bigger problem is the HN reader mind reading what the rest of the world wants. At least when an HN reader telling us what they want it's a primary source, but reading a comment about an HN reader postulating what the rest of

Honest companies are priced out by scammy companies, and as long as these companies share the profits they are totally fine profiting off scams. They make more money off the scams, simply put.

Agreed. At best most of the stuff I ended up buying from an Instagram ad turned out to be oversold or overpromised and underdelivered. While not a scam outright, it's sort of training me to avoid buying anything from ads...

Maybe what we need is AI based code review.

Not sure how many people are playing real tennis these days. But for most older established sports there are existing communities and apps that service them which make it hard to penetrate. Whether it's tennis or real tennis, even with

Is it that flawed? Maybe a bit early and not enough cash behind them as say a company like Meta or Apple (planning to pivot the VR headset into AR glasses).

Why allow the sale of a nationally important company if they weren't willing to let it go? Seems like eating your cake and having it too.

To be fair, I think a lot of people are in fact using it like a slot machine, which is where a lot of the "AI doesn't help me code" perspectives are coming from.

When I say ideas i'm talking in the context of programming... I'm not talking about "I got a great idea for a new social network" and the AI just wrote some spaghetti code for it. When I have the AI write low level code

Exactly. I loved doing novel implementations or abstractions… and the AI excels at the part where it modifies it slightly for different contexts… aka the boring stuff.

I think you can make arguments for and against the fundamental right to record or to not be recorded. If someone is doing something bad/illegal, do we have a right to record/document it? If I am outside minding my own business and

I don't understand why people take bad coding practices and just let AI run with it and then expect nothing but poor quality code. Nothing about the AI revolution here changes how good software has always been written. Write tests, use

The just released a couple of styles with the announcement of the new ones, but before that the low bridge fit ones got discontinued. But you are limited to a specific model/frame.

There’s a Chinese AI glasses brands (Solos) that integrates with ChatGPT and I’m wondering if simply being paired with a better AI model will make it significantly more useful. One thing Meta seems to be completely ignoring up until now is
