I moved away from mac because of the OS and couldn't be happier. The hardware may be great but non-Apple hardware is fine too, and Linux is significantly better experience than MacOS these days.

No idea, and I don't think anyone does, hence the prediction that it won't happen anytime soon. Either we need perfect simulations (seems almost impossible) for training at scale or fundamental algorithmic breakthroughs in learnin

I fail to understand why 888 KiB matters if it's just a wrapper around a cloud api.

I'd love to see what is being achieved by these massive parallel agent approaches. If it's so much more productive, where is all the great software that's being built with it? What is the OP building? Most of what I'm se

It's the same as it has always been, the only difference is that you are being bombarded with these issues because you are terminally online and use social media while previously you were blissfully ignorant. The solution is to touch g

Not anytime soon. The big leaps in LLMs don't really carry over to robotics much, aside from some computer vision stuff. I'd say we're still 10+ years out from robots cooking for you. Maybe we'll get some kind of dedicat

"Humans are now writing code in strict specification language so that AI agents have completely context and don't mistakes. This specification language is called C' and has led to a whopping 20% reduction of code. 1000 of C++

Does that mean more issues will show up soon?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing is a good starting point. You start seeing patterns at some point. But more important than the writing style, there is no interesting content here. It's

I don't know either what the solution is other than human verification, but nobody wants that. Perhaps the times of semi-anonymous online communities are over and the best you can do now is follow real people you trust that can filter

How is this highly upvoted and on the front page? It's so clearly at least 50% AI written slop, probably closer to 95%. Wow HN these days... this site is dying, completely overrun by bots.

It can schedule stuff and run in a loop, so it's like claude combined with cron. Truly amazing technology.

Where is the detail? Examples? Something concrete? I don't think it is, but it does read like LLM generated content marketing. Lots of generic statements everyone knows. Yes, dev environments are helpful. Have been for 20 years. Yes, c

It depends. If you have an LLM that uses reasoning the explanation for why decisions are made can often be found in the reasoning token output. So if the agent later has access to that context it could see why a decision was made.

If you search you can easily find sites to buy aged HN accounts, lots of them. Just like reddit accounts.

Can someone explain to me what AGI means? What is the concrete technical definition? How do we know it is achieved?

You're not the only one. I've worked quite a bit with Minio, Arrow, and Spark, and I don't really understand the point the article is trying to make or how it's related to Minio. It's either badly explained or just

I typically only look for upvoted content. Prefix your searches with "site:reddit.com", "site:news.ycombinator.com" or "site:stackoverflow.com" - The social/human filter is quite a good one in my experienc

I had the opposite experience. The early TF versions were difficult to use in that they required a lot of boilerplate code to do simple things, but at least there was no hidden complexity. I knew exactly what my code did and what was going

I'm skeptical of JAX. It feels good right now, but when the first TF beta version came out it was very much like that too - clean, simple, minimal, and just a better version of Theano. Then the "crossing the chasm" effort sta

Another illusion is that these are absolute numbers. They're relative. When you're young, $100k is a lot of money. Enough to be happy and worry-free. Once you have that, you need $1M in cash to be happy and retire. Once you have $

Not everyone is optimizing for making money. I left a Silicon Valley FAANG for another country more than five years ago, even though I was making ~3x there compared to what I made in the new place. Even with the higher living costs, that&#x

I'm not super familiar with prediction markets. Could someone explain how exactly these markets create initial liquidity, how they set the number of tradeable shares, etc?

I generally like next.js, but I have since built some things in Svelte [0] and prefer it for simple projects. Not dealing with JSX and complex React components is refreshing. It just works. There are some upsides to its static generation (w

I'm in the same camp. I'm quite interested since it mentions asset data as an example, but I have no idea what this does from looking at the landing page. Does someone have an end-to-end example? Since this stores arrays, is this

Someone asked for a more nuanced perspective, so here we go. For a lot of AI researchers, OpenAI has been a huge disappointment. We had hope that OpenAI would be the company to democratize AI with good open source work, transparency, no PR

Yes, but that's a bad example because pretending to be a lawyer is hard. A better example would be gurus spreading nutrition recommendations that are not wrong per-se, but extremely simplified. Nutrition is a complex topic and individu

You're right that this is an ungrounded accusation and I changed my comment. For what it's worth, I know several people at competing labs who applied for access and didn't hear back. If you are doing science, aren't othe

I've seen multiple profiles just like that one tweeting amazing things about GPT-3. I didn't keep track, but [0] and [1] just turned up doing a quick Twitter search. There are a lot more. It's quite suspicious that instead of
