This is refreshing to read. I, like everyone apparently, am working on my own coding agent [1]. And I suppose it's not that capable yet. But it sure is getting more reliable. I have it only modify 1 file at a time. It generates tickets

Reminds me of that time in Russia at the chess tournament, where they repurposed some industrial robot to play chess and it crushed a kid’s hand. Also reminds me of when Uber got kicked out of California to test self driving cars, so they m

One of the coolest things ever is you can see the shadows and depths of the craters on the moon from here on Earth, with a cheap ~$15 telescope or probably binoculars too. I remember buying the galileoscope for $15 many years ago and was ab

Seems like a use case for AI right here; just have the user 'talk' silently, mouthing the words or in a very quiet whisper. I assume AI can read lips pretty well by now right? So turn on your video, have the AI already know how to

That’s not the definition of legalese and I protest the focus of the article and study: that center embedding is seemingly the sole issue.

I think they are, though, just not consciously. I’m finding more and more it is rare that I find myself typing on a device and there isn’t some AI lurking in it. Email, docs, mobile keyboards, soon to be also Apple intelligence searching yo

Early Android dev had a guide on how devs could pick the best location from various sources individually, and it was massive pain with dubious results.

As someone who has added hundreds of DNS records, there is absolutely nothing “just” about it.

At 1:50, the guy gives the robot a glass to pick up and then immediately nopes out of there. Wonder if previous demos resulted in a broken glass haha. Also at 2:08 the upside-down container gets flipped quickly. I wonder if that was a known

I'll take a stab at it. What is the web, really? Gotta be stuff you see and interact with in web browsers right? Sure, you can get to HN, YouTube and Instagram in a browser. But by traffic for example, how much of activity on HN, Insta

Ask HN: Do you trust Instacart less since they added creepy AI stuff?

Android mobile development has gotten so …architectured that I would guess most apps have a much higher rate of “boilerplate” than you’d hope for. Everything is getting forced into a scalable, general purpose way, that most apps have to add

Oh wow really, 2/3 of states let employers pay below minimum wage for tipped employees?

Right. Are waiters in other countries listed above making less than US federal minimum wage?
138.
by cryptoz 2y ago
Got a citation for that? Lots of waiters in the US make $2/hour or something before tips (can anyone correct me here?) where the expectation is that tips will bring them up to $7-8/hour, more in line with other minimum wage jobs.

Nope! We sure don’t! Not on purpose any way. But the businesses sure want us to. This mostly happens at smaller stores and not big chains.

I’m in lower Queen Anne. Every corner store that also sells coffee/sandwiches does this. Maybe 1-5% of customers are buying a sandwich, but 100% are prompted to tip with an 18% default.

by cryptoz 2y ago
If that is your takeaway from this story, hooooo boy you must be in a rage every day. Places all over Seattle default their machines to tip 18% when you buy a single roll of toilet paper and nothing else. (Edit: you could also pick up a few

I don’t have a PS5 but my Xbox (my first one ever) is an absolute nightmare to play, even if I have the physical media. Still demands an internet connection. Still demands updates before I play. Typically I would expect to wait 2+ hours bef

Prompting is a skill you can develop with practice and get better at. Also, some tasks just aren’t going to work well for various reasons. Yes, LLMs can actually help with coding. But it’s not magic. There are limits. And you get better wit

That is wrong and you have failed the test. If you include the . you have clearly misunderstood the question. It did not indicate to draw a line around the number or letter and dot. Since you included the dot we will fail you. We are aware

Sadly I am still at very early stages of this idea. However I will save this thread and contact you if I make progress!
