Somehow this is only the first time I have seen this vector taken advantage of with my own eyes. I remember thinking it was a stupid idea to embed third party hosted JS back when jquery and prototypejs were the duopoly of javascript. I&#x27

They are linked, but what I meant was its not a 1:1 relationship. You can get stronger without as much hypertrophy, or you can get bigger without as much strength gain. The only reason I mention it is because I often see people, especially

Hypertrophy and strength aren't as strongly linked as we thought. Generally for wellness, injury prevention, you want strength and flexibility.

I have met people who figured, because they don't excercise they don't wear their body out, so their joints etc. will last longer. Same for injury, no sport no injury, that must be good!

> You'd want to be able to see how your process missed it. An incredible risk to take on someone elses behalf, for personal gain. Don't worry, market forces will surely fix this, no need for regulation.

It's also great to have capability to run local models for more brute force tasks. Because you can change the system prompt, you can get local LLMs to do all kinds of high volume tasks without burning through tokens on a hosted model.

Apparently it is not all you need, according to the article.

That will likely change after this goes into effect, otherwise all that legitimate spam will never make it.

I've been watching Seth for years, that comment is pretty in line with his writing style. I expect he's using AI, but I don't think he would be lazy with it. I would expect him to prefer not replying at all over using AI to r

It just meant building their business for them basically. Back then, mostly eCommerce businesses before the software and supply chains for that were commoditized. Or smaller scale, if someone's a CTO at a startup, part of their worth i

It would be fair to reflect for a moment, perhaps you are not impacted by the negative aspects of the corruption making this a much easier stance to take.

To a much smaller extent due to where I live, I noticed this too. From merely the fact that I had a (local economy relative) high paying software job and that I could "make stuff happen" for people with capital or people in the &

The answer in general is we monitor things to understand them, so we know how they will affect us. Same thing we do for all the metrics that allow us to forecast the weather every week.

I have been noting this as well. It also had an unfair advantage of having all of open source code to train on, and a bunch of human discussions about code quality and structure. Now as well, the feedback loop of us all using coding agents

Chess is representable entirely in text as well, and generally speaking the LLM concept of "picking the next best token" fits pretty well for "picking the next best move" where a move is a text token

I enjoy the technology too, but the tradeoffs are pretty grim. It takes stepping outside of my bubble to see it in full force, but AI misinformation is already rampant.

Surely it costs more than that to run the internet connection as well. I know they choose to do that for other features and probably get good network deals, but the cost is tangible and I would be surprised if it worked out long term.

Hey cool, I have two of these for a split keyboard. Working great! I am glad the business side seems to have done well, I usually assume these kinds of projects are passion projects that don't always make ends meet.

The whole Amnesia series, and SOMA (cannot recommend enough) also do something similar. Of course it's horror rather than tactical.

Ferrari makes hypercars, they know a thing or two about making aerodynamics look good. It's a primary concern of all their designs and yet all their other designs look a lot better than this. I think they are just falling into the same

I wonder this in general, what's the impetus for writing new frameworks and such? Are we already seeing a slow down in that space? HN front page certainly paints that picture. You're better off plonking down an existing framework

There is a pretty big difference between a citizen driving their car into danger, and a service provider driving their car into danger with you in it. You wouldn't accept that from a taxi driver either. Pausing the service is the right

They are also not getting the same quantity or quality of data as was possible in the first years of "ingest". Compared to the beginning, from here on it is more like a drip feed of new training data. Still immense volumes of data

I think it's a mix across the different kinds of people. For me my car isn't loud right now, but I do just genuinely enjoy the thrill and sound of the car in "track" setup. It's too loud to drive on the street but i

Happened for my car community too, anecdotal of course. Two aspects I think, the clout chasers move on, and the remaining cohort are older with a bit more empathy for community and also better things to do than provoke the cops. No speaking

Outsourcing seems to come in cycles, where it's tried, fails due to communication issues (resulting in quality issues), then things get inhoused again. I do think there is some opportunity for AI to smooth out the communication aspect,

That's a good point, I guess I see the Hacker News hype a bit more realistically then maybe I should. HN has definitely changed in the sense that I rarely see interesting technology or achievements hit the front page, that aren't

I seem to be totally outside the hype bubble, but I have to suspect there is a lot of imagineering and wild extrapolations in the elss technical hype bubbles. I am curious but no enough to go looking.

My little related insight, is that maps are extremely lossy. Even satellite maps. Life on the ground, is full of detail. When I travelled Japan specifically, maps didn't tell you much at all. It might look like a residential deadzone f
