...what? what kind of a task are you running?

agreed. I'm wondering how on earth are people supposed to provide for a family these days? the techno optimism has been absolutely insane. celebrating that people won't have jobs anymore, that robots will be doing everything and t

I think it's just that k8s allows you to shoot yourself in the foot, thus it gets all the blame. when in reality, you can go very bare-bones with k8s, but people pretend like only the most extreme complexity is what's possible bec

agreed. I think if we all went with this HN mindset of "html4 and PHP work just fine" we wouldn't have gone anywhere with regards to all the technical advancements we enjoy today in the software space

I think one big problem is that using microservice architecture doesn't mean that literally everything has to be a "microservice". if you don't truly need granual scaling (i.e. your "app" doesn't get a bun

not sure if this is a thing with Cloud vendors, but e.g. in Finance, you'll definitely get the opportunity to call your rep over for free fancy dinners or whatever you want, because those are "customer meetings" better than n

they get their own platform like how Anthropic has Claude Code from which they can push out Grok and get training data (from free users or whatever) whether that actually gets them ahead, that's another question....

you can already "compile" TS binaries with deno, but it'll include the runtime in it and etc. so it'll take some disk space but I think these days it's less of a concern than before

you're right. we should just not use any interpreted/script languages because they're not as fast as compiled ones. why does a CLI tool that just wraps APIs need this native performance?

that 1M context thing, I wonder if it's just some abstraction thing where it compresses/sums up parts of the context so it fits into a smaller context window?
342.
by r_lee 7mo ago
as the context fills up, the model will generate based on that context, incl. whatever illegal stuff you've said, i.e. it'll mimic that, instead of whatever safety prompt they have at the top they could make it more "safe&quo

these LLMs will never be able to mitigate this unless they literally scan everything all the time and nobody is gonna want that. besides, open source models exist now

it won't be creative because it's a transformer, it's like a big query engine. it's a tool like everything else we've gotten before, but admittedly a much more major one but "creativity" must come from eit

this is actually scary as fuck I thought with Workspace you'd actually be spared from this kind of BS I guess not?

I've seen this blog slop on Google for the last month or so, no action taken whatsoever. it's mostly bullshit or regurgitated info from docs. like Google or their Search team really doesn't seem to care at all. all of a sudde

wow imagine that, astronauts having to communicate with the outer world??? that's insane....

I'm not either. I think it may look "cool" visually but when trying to work with code with those in it, it seems odd, like that it's a single character even though it's not and it just breaks the flow

yep. I think this is the root problem, not the frameworks themselves
354.
by r_lee 7mo ago
well that's any framework with vdom, the GC of web frameworks, so I'd imagine it's also a problem with vue etc.. I don't understand though why performance (I.e. using it properly) is not a consideration with these compan
355.
by r_lee 7mo ago
I think a big problem is the fact that many web frameworks allow you to write these kind of complex apps that just "work" but performance is often not included in the equation so it looks fine during basic testing but it scales re

"who liked 13 year olds when he was 14, is unlikely to reoffend at 30" I still don't exactly understand this part.

it's fiction (seemingly everything is on the site?). maybe the title should reflect that

it's fictional, it says that in the bottom (nvm, tagged nonfictional)
