In the Innovation Adoption Curve, we are absolutely beyond the Early Adopters phase and possibly the Early Majority. The growth rates necessarily have to start trending down because there’s no one left to sell to.

TFA isn’t about consumer usage, it is about training the next generation models. An interesting thought I heard recently is that a SOTA model has about the same parameters as the number of synapses in a Golden Retriever’s brain that are not

This is the exact kind of cause that triggers the social media algorithms. Part nostalgia, part underdog battle, and no problematic elements.

Sony removing the disc drive from PS6 will save them a lot of money if Xbox also removes it. I wonder if they’re back channel colluding on that right now?

It sounds like your opinion is that status quo is ok when: there is a spectator mode, it’s on a mobile device, there is multiplayer. I still don’t quite understand in which cases the status quo is not ok though.

Sort of like how Diary Queen aren’t allowed to call their desserts “Ice Cream” because there isn’t enough dairy, we need to force retailers to start calling them game-licenses? This feels like a whole lot of a big fuss over something like t

Back in the old days, we would be pooling resources like that to host a server for the clan. And I wonder if the reason those games are less popular has more to do with marketers being good at their job than a change in the base gameplay. T

For single-player games, those are definitely media. For multiplayer games, that feels a lot closer to a sport.

We rent time at a football field. We buy tickets to watch a single match. There are parallels here to not owning video games. I don’t really understand why one is so heinous. Let’s say there’s a new rule implemented by the NBA that no one l

That upfront convenience here leads to a long tail of job security when it inevitably goes spaghetti. Win-win!

The only reason to run MacOS over Linux is the hardware. Arm MacBooks are unreasonably good but don’t support Linux (Asahi is still a bit WIP). They sell hardware, not software, so the state of things makes sense. It is so disappointing tho

No restricted for me, either on or off VPN. This might actually be an account issue on your side? Maybe a work account?

The difference now is that the learning is optional (more often but not always) to getting the task done. When gaining mastery is not a requirement to doing novice-level work, many fewer people will get there. It takes more dedication than

Math is a language to explain systems. Teaching someone that force varies linearly to mass is a helpful first pass. It isn’t exactly linear but is not exponential at all. Gaining expertise is always the hard part and our new LLM overlords a

There are a set of these “false beliefs” people can hold that are clearly untrue but are beneficial to them in other ways. This one about “hard work leads to success” is a very powerful one. Lean the hell into it if you ever come across an

From what I gather, this is Anthropic-only because of disagreement there. OpenAI is not subject to apply the policy and the US has no power to limit foreign companies like Deepseek and GLM.

Anyone willing to accept an efficiency loss is already using an interpreted language and doesn’t have this class of problems.

China is benefiting a lot from releasing the models open-source and those benefits immediately end if they start doing closed-source releases. It would be very short-sighted

Without going that far, send a few people a couple hours North instead and serve international customers from Canadian data centers. As far as I understand, it is only blocked in the US, right?

I’m on your side in that I would never take a contract to actually do this, but… If we swapped out the IAM backend for something extremely simple like just private keys (one per allowed service or JWT-style list all services in the key), th

The good ones all seem to be pointing in the direction of Django. Which, on its own, says a lot about how likely people will care about vibe-coded anything, whether pooled or not.

A lot of AWS is built on open-source. This is obviously ignoring hardware costs. I don’t know if it is all that ridiculous anymore. These models are very good at wiring together open-source systems. The world is crazy right now…

HN is social media. I’m learning this on social media. That’s a good thing. [1] What alcohol helps with is forming connections with other people. It lowers barriers to sharing and those connections are important. [2] In a world in the middl

I’m torn on this. On one hand, yes, it is a problem. On the other, it is unenforceable and will make them just be sneaky about it. I see social media in the same way as alcohol. Mostly good but definitely bad when abused. And we are respons
