I think you're missing the point. You're talking about someone making an API call vs receiving a webhook. However, I believe the article is drawing an obvious, if implicit, parallel to expectations for handling a webhook as custom

As someone who I both respect a lot and know is really knowledgeable about the latest with AI and LLMs: can you clarify one thing for me? Are all these points based on preparing for a future where LLMs are even better? Or do you think they&

I dunno, looking through those issues I'd be more annoyed by all the randos grandstanding in my PRs.

Same for me, with this past year's Advent of Code. All the models until now have been stumped by Day 17 part 2. But Opus 4 finally got it! Good chance some of that is in its training data, though.

Nothing in the article and nobody in the comments takes issue with the fact that it's logarithmic. It's everything else that's the problem. (It's a ratio where the base value is situation dependent, and the base of the

Growing up as a devout religious kid in the 80s, it was always understood in my household that rock stars were lascivious, immoral sex crazies and that Hollywood was a den of heathen propaganda. Nevertheless, we still listened to (some) mus

Growing up I always thought a sonic boom was something that happened once when you broke the speed of sound. I now understand that's not the case, but still don't quite know what it is. I think a supersonic aircraft is constantly

Do you still think there will be a gpt-5? I thought the consensus was GPT-5 never really panned out and was released with little fanfare as 4.1.

Everything old is new again. From my perspective as a Rails developer in the past, who landed on Elixir/Phoenix 10 years ago, Elixir and Phoenix were both born from Rails devs who were tired of Rails magic, keeping just the structure a

Ha! Good to know. Friday is our pizza day, and we usually go with one local to us (Capri's), but on occasion do Aurelio's. I think today we'll have to do Aurelio's.

Maybe I should ask people who have read the book if she's a reliable witness and it's worth my time reading?

I mean, I guess the obvious question is if one person lied under oath (her) or several (all the people that her testimony implies perjured). The book sounds pretty outlandish. That's not to say that Zuck and co aren't just a whole

That's the point of the study, though, whether using polite language makes the tool work better. It's similarly misguided to refuse to do so out of an anti-anthropomorphization stance, if it makes it respond more usefully. These a

I think it's relevant. We're discussing the life and impact of Pope Francis. I'm speculating that he was chosen specifically for his outward focus. I'm a practicing but not terribly devout Catholic, and my impression of

Does anyone have any theories why his predecessor, Benedict, so shockingly resigned? (And then, according to this article, continued to live there, which was news to me). The conventional wisdom is that Benedict was a hardline, conservative

So do LLMs. "In the United States, someone whose job is to go to space is called ____" it will say "an" not because that's the most likely next word, but because it's "aiming" (to use your terminology

As someone teaching their 4 year old to read right now, I don't buy it. The text is long on "friendly" and random stuff like that, but that's not what I'm looking for in a font for kids. Just off the top of my head

As someone with a reddit account old enough to vote, it's always been like that. If you only browsed reddit it would have been a sure bet that Bernie Sanders would be the democratic candidate, and Ron Paul was going to win before that.

Yeah, it's interesting because the focal distance in the Quest is a fixed ~5 ft, regardless of the apparent depth of the thing you're looking at in VR. This is a pretty comfortable spot for old eyes, so it can make things a little

I actually think this kind of supports the point you're responding to. HN used to have a battle cry about startups where "the idea doesn't matter, it's all in the execution" (mostly because we're tech-ies, and

Are you pretty young? The narrative when it was happening was pretty catastrophic. I remember reading about people not being able to get prescriptions, for example, because no one knew how imports worked. I don't know how things panned
