For me the most awesome thing here is the 100MB file upload function. May sound like nothing, but this is groundbreaking when we've been so far constrained by token limits. This means we don't need to endure an arduous back-and-fo

I usually ask it to write me a nextjs app and deploy it to vercel. It gives me a few commands and files to plop in the right directories. E.g. `npx create-next-app foo; cd foo; ...; vercel --prod;`. Often I only make a couple changes then 5

We've come a long way from `progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2)`. It's really wonderful to see.

Hi HN. This is a small experiment using GPT atop a recommendation graph I've been developing for a few years. While GPT is broadly aware of books and their topic areas (dependent on its existing corpus), I found it quite fun and challe

Super! And thank you. I love this granularity of tooling now. it’s overwhelming, if anything. To my original comment, I think I’m just naturally very wary of people losing themselves in the weeds without real cause. If there’s genuine slowd

Outside of AI models, copy/pasting snippets from the likes of StackOverflow is already on unsteady ground. The threshold to bother with (and win) legal fights is pretty high. AI is catalyzing some kind of slow revolution in what "

I've just started a new role as an EM and because of disability have been able to reduce my hours (and proportionally my pay) down to 20hrs per week. I work only 9am-3pm [minus 1hr for lunch] on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri. It's going w

It's just some dude's blog. You chose to read it. Entering into someone's personal newsletter and expecting them to NOT write about themselves is a weird thing. Maybe the egocentrism is not on _that_ side of the equation hm.

Very true. FWIW I’m not an academic by nature so wretchedly practical perhaps and probably impatient with what I see as narrowly applicable studies.

Ah thanks that makes it a bit clearer. I guess I (falsely) see mathematics as the “purer” manifestation of a thing and thus hold it to account to abstract the complete substance of a thing and its properties. But as you say, the physical is

Seeing knots as curiosities of topology seems to miss the entire point of knots: to fasten something with varying attributes of tightness, slippage, tension, time, application constraints (E.g. throwing lines from a distance over cleats&#x2

Twitter at scale is far more complex. With Tesla's telemetry it's just writing to a datastore, with less fuss around latencies, data duplication or consistency. There's no need for millions of clients to then get updated, as

You're not wrong if you align with categorical imperative views on ethics. If however you see the scaled utilitarianist perspective (disentrenching systemic -isms and gaining more equality), then perhaps you'll conclude it is a mo

Yes. Not to mince words, as others frequently do, but that's basically what's happening. The alterntive, so-called "pure meritocracy", is a farce because the implied implicit "merit" is, by the very nature of t

Oh gosh, you have my respect. You've gone right in with the apex challenge there; to de-bias the sam harris readership! It's important to note that the recommendations are an *attempt* at a bias inversion while maintaining affinit
