since youtube premium and various methods to skip ads now even Joe rogan who has 200+ million dollars does ad reads directly in video.

yeah I think I'm prone to do the same, it is so easy to create and we get too excited by it instead of first doing the research necessary which is much more boring than actually producing something.

if you are on HN and have no idea what "frontier model" would mean maybe it's time you found out.

In the good old days of 2011 when I started to learn C++ "for real" I did it using learncpp.com, google and "support" from freenode's #c++ where truly masterful wizards would help me with the most inane questions. I

In my case or a lot of people's cases.. I eat beans to save money and if I have to save money now.. months of adaptation isn't gonna cut it

by jack_pp 5mo ago
well if your solution is to eat beans with 3/4 meals and I STILL need to social distance for a few months while I acclimate then that's not really the best solution now is it?

Democracy in most of the countries is just theater. Trump promised no more wars iirc. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather live in a country without a million cameras that automatically fine me for crossing the street illegally but I do

I suspect it means it's LLM generated without it being checked
104.
by jack_pp 7mo ago
Maybe to get a real breakthrough we have to make programming languages / tools better suited for LLM strengths not fuss so much about making it write code we like. What we need is correct code not nice looking code.

> Yes, everyone starts out creative. Are there studies done on this or is this just wishful thinking?

Sure and all the same, most people just don't have it.

Well was Jobs a "doer"? Did he get his hands dirty on the code? Or did he use his employees how we would like to use LLMs?

They are not comparable, ffmpeg-python just abstracts away the CLI, pyav is a low level binding of the ffmpeg libs. It may seem "dead" but ultimately it just helps you build CLI commands in a more sane way, the CLI interface to ff

by jack_pp 7mo ago
Maybe it helps to view ffmpeg as a DSL and the ugliness is caused by the CLI constraints / conventions. For what it's worth, LLMs are a great tool for both composing and understanding ffmpeg commands. And if you want something mor

And that same information contained in an LLM is a compression of how many terabytes of training data? Maybe in the future there will be models an order of magnitude smaller and still better performing. What I'm saying is you can'

Streaming services already have a solution for environments where they can't run DRM - crap quality stream. My solution to their solution? torrents. People can dual boot, what's wrong with a special gaming linux distribution?

again fighting against windmills, valve isn't even mentioned in the article. Valve's anti-cheat for CS2 is user-mode. Do you have evidence valve is working to infect the linux kernel for everyone?

I'm sorry but you are fighting a crusade you can not win by definition. If I am free to use my computer for anything I want then I am also free to lock it down to enjoy my favorite game. If I care about my freedom I will have a dedicat

Or bad players might get owned by better ones, conclude the other guy was cheating and the only way to compete is for them to cheat as well. Sort of like nuclear weapons

by jack_pp 7mo ago
That is not the solution if you want to play competitively of whenever you feel like it. Kernel level AC is a compromise for sure and it's the gamers job to assess if the game is worth the privacy risk but I'd say it's much m

There's rational and then there's common sense, if put in that situation who in their right mind would take even a 50% chance that the entity is wrong and greed it for 1000$. All I'd need to know is that it is far more likely

No, that's exactly parent's point. The premise of the title can be read as "just create value, don't worry about monetizing, things will work out (financially)". Which is invalidated by FOSS

I worked at a startup, they built their API in PHP because it was easy and fast. Now they're successful, app doesn't scale, high latency etc. What does their php code do? 95% of it is calling a DB. You're telling me today wit

You trade having to compile for actually having code that can scale
