Heavily biased a kube admin but make kube clusters is easy now - its literally one command (aws eks create-cluster/gcp ... something something haven't done it in awhile after doing it multiple times a day in a past life) - I think

“The ai told me it’s right” is actually probably my biggest problem with AI being freely available. Yes I know karens existed before AI but even then I feel like the excuses were more… thoughtful? IE my dad is a designer/it looks right

Ai costs under $10 though, you wouldn’t be able to hire a human for that

For cost you can route the same task via openrouter and see what it costs. Literally a for m on models do task loop and look at the cost.

Their reputation is “bad” but not because of privacy concerns. I personally think they’re trustworthy

Maybe off topic - I really like the design of the site, it feels like it was designed with care which (no offence) is often not the case with AI focused websites. Was it hand designed, or just the right claude design prompt?

I've been watching a bunch of bycloud on YouTube recently, and although he's done a great job reviewing papers from the big AI labs, I feel like I'm missing something - how have all the labs seemingly made a model that's

A harness is fundamentally required - although we don’t really see it using tools like Claude or codex ai models still only can take tokens in and produce tokens out. Tool calls are literally just the ai model printing “I want to call searc

Devin was the first ai developer harness I ever heard of — and in fact the first one I ever used as I had gotten an invite while it was in private beta. Now it seems like the product has faded (into irrelevance?) between other harnesses lik

I think as a hacker/engineer type you’re more aware of what’s possible and because of that you expect more from things in your life. The flip side of that is that it makes features most people would never think of feel like table stake

"yes" but that's a philosophical question. I think they're getting better at "early fusion" IE, training the model that "apple" and these visual tokens are the the same concept, but LLMs are fundament

You might be taking crazy pills or you've yet to come across an app that's just a webpage inside a web view (a lot of apps these days unfortunately)

If phones didn't have secure boot nowadays inevitably little Johnny would (unknowingly) install a rootkit on his mom's phone for the promise of free vbucks or some see through walls app.

I didn’t make the point I was trying to if > Is multiplied by each "system" you add Was still the take away. The idea is the lost a single instance should cause downtown so it’s not multiplied. IE three instances of the databas

As always it depends but at least for me in my anecdotal experience as a Distributed systems engineer (I know, I'm clearly very biased here) - the problem with a single system is that mundane things cause unavailability like - software

A fair callout, though yes it was supposed to be a simplified analogy. I think you got it exactly right though that its temporary in the same that I'd argue the benefits of using AI are temporary

The article states: > If you are on a current iPhone or Mac Presumably if you don't trust apple you wouldn't purchase their products and even if you were for example forced to use it via work or something you wouldn't use

You likely don't need to disassemble the inference code, the weights are "just an array of numbers" in MLX format.

by edude03 3mo ago
It's not open weight, but the point is to be an on device (and thus local, privacy preserving) option. The article mentions that as the caveat > What this means if you just want good transcription > If you are on a current iPhone

Not to "glaze" the author as the kids say but this has to be one of the best written musings I've read on HN in a long time. I'm likely bias because it's written in "my style" but I feel like it's a r

I liken it to dieting. If your only goal is to be certain weight, then learning how to cook, learning how to portion, learning to make a meal plan, learning about macro nutrients is all "friction" now that we have GLPs. And maybe

Other than batch jobs, I can't think of a problem that can be solved these days that doesn't also require high availability - at the very least they require a warm standby.

Let’s see how long until opus 5 comes out but to me this lends some credence to the rumour that fable/mythos was supposed to be opus 5

I don't understand the privacy concerns the author is trying to highlight. Granted, doing anything "sneaky" will always raise suspicious once caught, but on the other hand, there would be no point in implementing these "

We can't make single cores any faster, so realistically multicore is the only "solution". That said, most languages have M:N event loops, where M tasks are distributed across N OS threads so even if your software doesn't
