I think the AI involvement makes this feel very different. Right now it’s just recomp/decomp of older titles, but it feels like a stepping stone to just automated plagiarism of basically any game.

Seems like people are so desperate to do anything useful with LLMs that they are just dredging up any unsolved problem they can find to justify the point of it

HN keeps being gamed to keep vibe coded slop on the front page and give it credibility. There was another language project a few weeks ago called ‘Wyzer’ that was just completely generated and largely nonsensical (didn’t do the lofty things

How does any of this contradict what is written in the article? It already mentions eg Rubella infection during pregnancy as a causative agent, which would be an example of it not being directly inherited

It would be interesting to see the reasoning / prompts for this: I find it odd that it can solve it so quickly for such an open-ended problem with a large amount of text in an entire book. The ciphertext is not just the end of a partic

Also the thing that is infuriating is, do people obsessed with using AI for everything not realise that, they are surplus to the entire process? They are doing 'prompting' or whatever but the end goal will eventually be that they

I think the usage of solved is silly. Things get automated, they basically never get ‘solved’. Will all these things get automation? Yeah sure. But the idea that they will be perfect automated solutions applicable in all cases is just marke

Just to point out re: navier stokes - what was being proven was not a solver or approximations for it, but showing specific circumstances under which it actually returns incorrect (or numerically unusable) answers. Which had been suspected

The whole ‘NPC’ thing is so juvenile and solipsistic. Believing other people have less mental agency than you doesn’t make you cool and edgy, it makes you come off as an idiot that needs to grow up (Note I’m not directing this at the author

The thing is, what I’m asking about is not unrelated. It is the inverse situation - which curiously nobody seems to care about. And I say ‘curiously’ with some sarcasm, because it is very obvious why the focus is always disproportionately o

Who is doing what you’re describing? The reason I can confidently freeze and offline stuff is because I’m not taking in whole frameworks, I’m selecting things carefully, and generally do end up reading at least most of the source And what ‘

Updating every dependency for every kind of CVE is a brute force method for people and organisations that don’t understand the attack surface of the programs they’re producing
20.
by dwroberts 1mo ago
I guess that’s more of a problem if you use all-encompassing frameworks, but normally the things I’m using are very small components where the CVEs either don’t exist or are inconsequential/unexploitable for the programs I’m building
21.
by dwroberts 1mo ago
My experience has been that it has a major advantage, in that freeze + offline actually work properly. You can collect the dependencies you need once, put them in version control and never ever talk to remote registry again

I was not trying to say anaesthetics are actually the cure, it’s an example of the kind of elimination that has to be done to prove something is actually effective. Look up how double blind tests are done on things that involve surgeries (e

Firstly it’s not curing anything, it’s yielding some improvement. But secondly: what surgeries are performed on people with Alzheimer’s disease, let alone ones where cognitive improvement is even going to be monitored or noticed afterwards?

by dwroberts 1mo ago
The problem with this stuff is (as the article mentions) is that it’s going to take a while to figure out whether any benefit is just temporary. I would guess that there are a lot of variables to eliminate too - eg is it possible that just

Obviously insults and attacks are unreasonable, but I think the tag injection etc should be an expected one if you’re posting on HN right? Like somebody is going to try it for kicks and I wouldn’t say it’s even necessarily malicious
