This feels like simply a system prompt generator. It gives you a survey to generate a decent system prompt from, then staples that prompt to the front of any interactions with the GPT. It doesn't seem to be much smarter than a simple &

Ugh. I hoped this "tHanKs, ShILl" attitude was walled off from HN.

I got a pair of the original Stories and they are my most favorite device released in the past decade except for the AirPods. Countless times I've wanted to capture something with my kids, or on a drive, or on a bike ride. I can just t

This seems to follow the same laws that Christopher Alexander outlined about communities. The bigger they get, the less personal they get. A regression to the mean. For example, if your town has fewer than 7,000 people, you'll often se

This reads like someone who thinks they absolutely nailed matrices and is using that as a proxy for linear algebra expertise. I wouldn't know for sure because it all whooshed about 60 feet over my head

Yep. The founder of Hopin took 180M in secondaries while raising 1B, and just sold it for $15M!

This is simply not true and reads like a convenient anecdote to make a point. "Founder of Apple only eats... apples! Omg lol"

All of those things still require management, which is the issue at hand here. Also if you're renting your hardware... for a subscription ... that sounds an awful lot like the cloud with extra steps.

No. We rolled our own stack for 10 years, until 2018, well after AWS and Azure were around. We switched to Azure in 2018 and never looked back. Sure you trade security (do you really, though?) in exchange for: - not needing to head to the D

Design isn't just what it looks like. It's how it's used. In that regard, this is a massive downgrade. Changing channels is now a three-click job. Wacky.

Why is there so little information coming from the LK-99 guys? Everyone talks about them as if they're dead. Like, why aren't they consulting with the best lab to make some rocks that are great and prove their theory? I haven&#x27

This is like saying Microsoft created a secret team to suppress file transfer estimations over a 56K modem. Time estimates are an incredible challenge because you're effectively trying to predict entropy.

It's still SO early. We are in the "640K [of memory] ought to be enough for anybody" phase of LLMs. So much more to go.

My guess is you'll be running GPT4 equivalent in your closet, but with a 4K context window. Where the big guys will have GPT-who-cares-what-version with a 100K context window. Context size is as much of a big deal as newer generations
