So, another victory for the LLM. We were told by project maintainers that AI generated pull requests for vulnerabilities would be blocked. Looks like humans take another L. We have to get out of the way.

They do if they are a reasoning-variant. That doesn’t necessarily mean it actually needed to reason for many questions, your prompt + regular context could be enough to get a good answer compared to prior models where you’d absolutely hav

A) Context and prompting cuts the search space for next token generation. That’s pretty useful, as you mentioned. B) The other use of context is that it introduces entirely new information via RAG B will never go away (as others pointed out

It’ll be the programmers version of those civil war reenactments.

It’s the only way you’ll ever be able to pretend to be a programmer again though.

Look man, I’ve got a MMO that I’m working on that’s set in 2014 where everyone is a programmer in SV (might call it World of Legacy ). It’s a period piece. I NEED as much blog training data of this type so that my NPCs can talk in a histor

Right, the one person (Neo?), has to be able to verify the output. Most of us can’t replace the accountant because we can’t really … replace the accountant. We can replace the accountant’s work, but we can’t replace his/her other wor

Isn’t this just a form of the bitter lesson? Our attempts to make engineered context and agents will simply be made obsolete with bigger and better models. Those transcripts are probably extremely useful for lesser capable models, and near

When I think about the typical team composition needed to build a typical app in a lot of companies, well, actually what do I think about? I think, okay, that’s how many people we need to build a typical app - some number. That’s what we

If you have access to a Xeon processor, I don’t see why humans should be the first thing you interface with.

What do u recommend?

by general_reveal 4mo ago
Yeah but you don’t have to use that I think. I think us Node people can just pretend to write Ecmascript 2 in Java and be fine.

by general_reveal 4mo ago
That’s why I switched to Java.

The RTX GPU laptops run very hot. Even though they are pound for pound better, it’s just runs too hot for local llm usage for me at least. Prefer Macs for this. A lot of AMD cards also run cooler. I wonder if undervting would help with smal

Round Robin the free tier APIs, should be effectively free. Just say say “sike” if discussing sensitive issues so the LLM never flags you.

Sisters, a 8B local model that hallucinates is better than that 50bn in sweaty VR shit they made. It is what it is, slap a monthly fee on the 3B model and move on, I suppose.

The problem with certain intellectual pursuits is that it becomes its own little sub culture with its own little sub culture celebrities. You see, High School never ended. Things can still get lame in the “real world”. The “geeks” need to s

Posted. Getting to the top page is already a systemic flaw that originated from the genesis of this place. The original sin is that the people that run this place have a priority to promote “something” first and foremost. Getting “to the fr

So, are you suggesting we should not misunderstand “just business” as “glorious human achievement”?

The same crowd comes out because in every human generation, a young boy will have seen the advances of human technology and ambition, and will have also seen the sheer scale of our curious contraptions by the time they are an old man. That’

Yeah totally. Ideally, I’d like it if we feed the kids that need the food, educate them, and have them build the rocket and have them take the glory of that achievement (the glory being we as a society uplifted ourselves, literally … to the

Well. You are getting down voted but here I am in later stages in life watching this Moon launch, and unlike other times in past, I didn’t feel any inspiration. Honestly, it’s a waste of money. That’s my final answer, there’s kids that need

Can we solve for x and y? All I see is algebra here, is my intuition wrong?

You have to be uneducated to even read an “AI is bubble article”. Anyone working this stuff knows how much more compute we need.

HN is no longer a reliable place for the truth. Quite frankly, unless you are utterly self educated, you are terribly vulnerable to this place. At this rate, I’d almost prefer to talk on a private mailing list with vetted resumes.

Um. The websites are jam packed with trackers and ads. I am utterly concerned about Chrome’s memory usage because it’s passively allowing this all to occur. How about you let me blacklist sites that are using too much memory automatically,
