While I'm excited for more entrants in this space. It's depressing that there's no way to measure how much effort was put in a piece of software. The distrust I feel for "Show HN" posts is depressing. I know this wi

Maybe to signal the opposite. I've started using double dashes ever since LLMs stole my favorite symbol.

Why do we hope to use the same model as its own guardrail? This approach routinely fails with a single stream of consciousness. I can't count the number of times I've had to talk myself out of doing something stupid. In the same w

Humor me and suspend disbelief. If these models are such an existential threat to humanity, why are they controlled by two private companies? We might as well give Anthropic our nukes too.

This has been a thing well before chat.com even among engineers at our company. Chat Gee Pee Tee is a mouthful.

I hope everyone recognizes they aim to make you dependent on their intelligence rather than your own.

The issue is relying on an LLM to perform accurate OCR and then using it to interpret art.

Tooling my ass. They can see all the transcripts in realtime and could easily have had another agent evaluate.

Is it just me our does it seem like OpenAI isn't auditing their agent transcripts at all?

I have neuroplasticity, and I am aligned. ;)

None of these LLMs are plastic. They lack neurodiversity. Their thought space and their traversal are likely constrained in someway that humanity's isn't as a collective.

I find it hard to believe that enough people would flock to from Claude and Chat to Grok to cause an outage. I feel like Gemini is the dominant release valve in this case especially for enterprise.

I haven't dug deep but I burned through 30% of my weekly usage in a few hours which shocked me at first.

Package managers are often out of date.

Under the current state of affairs, copyleft material can be laundered through LLMs without triggering proprietary weights from becoming open. Something feels broken.

Why doesn't Ubuntu fit the bill? You can even install hombrew on it. Everything works like a mac with no fuss. Also the only reason I left Linux was due to hardware. Ubuntu was convenient enough.

Power user experience is not the same across disciplines either. God forbid I should ever be forced to use Blender or Inkscape with only buttons.

The problem is that psychiatry is an absolute zoo. Ive heard that if you go to 10 doctors you'll get 10 different opinions based on the docs personal experience. Even if there are trials for these medications, the field is not quantita

I was trying to avoid editorializing by just stating facts that demonstrate the process is beyond some issue of reigning in lower courts and is instead leveraged by politicians to achieve their goals. I can also editorialize. In my view, Tr

Bush and Obama filed 8 emergency applications across their presidencies (16 years.) The first Trump admin filed 41. Biden filed 19. The second Trump admin filed 32 in 2025 alone.

PhD was a joke. My intuition is that Claude is trained to communicate to itself while coding. You see this in how bizarrely granular it is when explanation prior work, you also see this in the comments it leaves behinds.

While Claude's style is obnoxious, I'm more frustrated by its inscrutable explanations. You need a PhD to understand its explanation of a code snippet.

The implosion in junior quality exacerbates this. The cohort that started during COVID were first knee-capped by remote classes and exams, and then they lobotomized themselves with ChatGPT.

Maybe the solution is to have "multiple minds"--an AI angel for an AI shoulder. For example, this entire bench has an auditor model read transcripts to identify cheating. What not have the auditor inject the thought "Oh, but
