Interesting. Every time I've ever vouched a comment, it came alive. (Though the last one I vouched ended up dead again after enough people flagged it, oops. I hope that doesn't mean I lost my power. In my defense, it was flagged t

I don't know why but I really struggled to internalize what the question was asking. Here's my take on a rewrite that's clearer: Mary is 24, which is twice as old as Ann was some time ago. At that time, Mary was the age that

> How did you actually make that deduction? Think of it on a number line. Mary is 24 now, Ann was 12 then. There's a point somewhere between the two, representing Mary's age at that time. ---*-------*---------------*--

Huh, which model? I didn't pick up any of the tells. It seemed normal enough to me. (I vouched it, oops.)

Interesting. I wonder where the "sweet spot" on the delay is. I've given up online news and twitter and all that entirely, and just read my print Economist, which comes weekly. That already has the news somewhat delayed and p

Similarly, what is considered health insurance is not really insurance but a convoluted way to pay for healthcare. I think there's a place for what you're calling disaster insurance but to me sounds truly like insurance for heal

I'm not sure Anthropic even cares about "releasing" the next version. The rust one has been in use in Claude Code for more than a month now, used by millions of people, and that's as far as they probably really worry abo

Sprites are clearly the future. Are there plans to give it a web UI? I haven't minded ssh'ing in, but I've wanted to share this with my wife who would use a sprite on her iPad. Basically, ChatGPT but with a full sandboxed Lin

I've played around with a few sprites and it's a very interesting concept. You ssh in and then it feels very much like a local development environment, except the dev server you start up and run locally is actually out there and

Wow, I can't believe Neal Stephenson of all people writes exclusively by hand. His books are tomes . I totally buy that this is the case for him. I wonder how much is just what he's used to vs what's actually better. I feel

This is an interesting article. I don't really work with low level enough languages for this to matter (unless - does this ever show up in Javascript somehow?). I guess I don't understand the "reduce" step. It seems like

Sounds like you could use some time in a group that bans discussion of politics.

Surely this is a bug in the harness and not in the model (where it's called "alignment"), right? I mean, an LLM is just a pile of weights. All this happened because OpenAI had a little program running which called the model i

You must never have faced a situation where you can't believe your eyes. It takes a certain level of - dare I say it - intelligence and maturity to consider that it's more likely you've made a mistake than that you've ma

This reply makes no sense in this context, though. Sure, it exploded in popularity based on whatever random tech choices were made. But now, when apparently they're deciding there's a problem there, why unleash $150k of tokens to

To me, it seems one of the killer use cases for Elixir (/Erlang) is its distributed cluster capability. Does anyone have experience with that or case reports to share? I've used Elixir quite a bit professionally, but mostly as jus

I guess from the title I expected "human written" to be a part of it, though now that I look at it nothing actually guarantees that. The Claudese of the README turned me off on the idea. I like reading something written by people

To be clear, I was never actually really one of the pro-piracy types. Honestly, I think very few people are really all that high-falutin' principled anyway. It really is hard when it's free to reproduce; you having something isn&#

Heh, blast from the past here from the "information wants to be free" and "you wouldn't download a car" days. Sometimes HN feels unrecognizable with how much the comments I read are pro- intellectual property. But t

But I thought just cutting and pasting your whole source code file into grok.com was the way to go? Better than a harness like Cursor. https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1943178423947661609

I think there's approximately zero value in seeing how a model can turn 100 tokens into a 100k. What workflow is that? It's not useful in the real world. I want to know how well it can follow instructions, manage various potential

In what ways does Anthropic use Bun? I know it's used as the "runtime" for Claude Code, but rather than porting a million lines of Zig to Rust, why not just port Claude Code to rust and not need to bundle a JS runtime at all?

I mean, Trump was prosecuted as well and plenty of people want to put him in jail. My point is these kinds of things can't really be argued purely from a meta-level, the actual specifics matter. And in the case of China and Xi, I certa

By "AI agent development" does he mean using agents and such for in-house coding? Or does he mean their initiative to train their own agentic model based on the data he's having a bunch of employees generate?

I agree it seems like a concern fad. I talked about it once with my brilliant MIT-educated 20 year Navy submariner brother-in-law and he didn't commit one way or the other but did say submarines have CO2 in the low thousands. You'
