This isn’t how it works. You don’t just get eu funding because you say “yay go EU we’re European”.

Just because you haven’t heard of them and they’re not American doesn’t mean they’re hot air. I got the privilege to meet their CEO in Paris as they were announcing their partnership with Axelera and we exchanged some stories. They are full

Unfortunately, anti-AI sentiment on HN is for some people so ridiculously pronounced, that you can get them to say the most insane stuff. I had a couple of people the other day responding to a sarcastic comment, agreeing that being an alcoh

I guess alcoholism is cooler than using AI to do things nowadays, is that your stance?

Scratching my head a little bit here, I'm not sure how this differs from NextJS (or Vite) with a layer of drizzle & better-auth. Not that that layer isn't important. We ended up building something like this at Ingram, nextkit:

The thing is I don’t see you asking that same question to the other Americans in the comment section here making stupid claims, with clearly zero clue on how the EU actually functions. So my question is: why? Why does this comment in partic

“So people sending requests to my web server is fine, but when I send ten thousand requests per second to other people’s web servers suddenly they call it a DDoS! Very unfair.”

Germany isn’t exactly great at startups, it’s one of the worst countries in europe to create and scale one. Helsing is doing great in spite of that ecosystem, and thanks to good timing and current geopolitics. That itself does not reflect o

SAP isn’t a company to be crazy proud of, but it doesn’t make it not a success nor does it mean “EU is fucked”. May I remind you that in the US, Facebook is in that same list of top successes? Have you ever heard the phrase “the top minds o

I don’t think it’s necessarily the “I can also make a robot do that”. Things are useful regardless of who made them. It’s the lack of care that comes with the obvious tell that a comment such as the one above, is not genuine. Are you reall

Sure. https://gist.github.com/jleclanche/af4a985135b84046e218e07f8... It's meant to remove LLMisms from select text. It uses a review pass so it's not exactly fast enough to just include for everything; I use

If you want, I can share my Claude /deslop skill. Maybe that is the useful outcome.

“The resource curse” is what you’re looking for. There’s a lot of counter examples - Norway is the odd one out.

I have zero investments in agentic coding; in fact, my list of investments is pretty public, so I don't really know what point you're trying to make. But creating a new account to try to defend yourself against a threat you claim

Do y'all have any evidence that github's recent outages are caused by slopcode rather than the significant increase in load, which is exactly what Github & MS have been claiming as the root cause? I'm tired of these BS st

You don’t know anything either, you’re just a soup of meat and bones that happens to have emergent properties from chemical reactions. These framings are not useful.

It’s interesting they would let an alien from outer space run in these elections. Especially against count binface.

Whatever dude. If you can't see the difference between doing in-thinking freetext arithmetics and counting characters in a word, I have no hope that talking to you will be useful.

Sigh. Read your own link? Yes it’s not the same baseXX encoding with padding as any other. It makes it not a straight 1:1 map unlike b64, and you need to be doing actual compute in order to get to the result. You are operating on blocks and

I don't think you understand how this variant of base58 works.

How is this useful or insightful? You ever go to forums full of entomology specialists and tell them you don’t understand their fancy terms?

It’s baffling how you are trying to wilfully not understand what I’m saying and hiding your head in the sand.

Which barista? The one that uses the machine to do 90% of the work, or the one that isn't a barista and uses the machine to do 100% of the work? How do you know I don't have said machine at home? And what bug bit you to make you t

Uhuh, but if it was so easy, we also wouldn't be funding billions of euros and dollars in anti-AI-disinformation systems, holding entire conferences about deepfakes and hybrid attacks on civilians, and have dozens of governments openin

If you're saying I don't see LLMs for what they are, you are wrong. I have worked in the AI sector for over a decade and I know exactly how the sausage is made. As of today, I run an AI lab (ingram.tech), and we see daily not just

You have short memory if you think we've not blown past at least 5 different AGI goalposts. They're being moved every time and we're hitting them every time. Or maybe you just don't know exactly how capable these models

Caring for memory mattered more when memory was sparse. But then again, it's crazy how people are disingenuous. You're in a thread about Bun being rewritten from a non-memory-safe to a memory-safe language and everyone's shit

I have standards. I have a literal Star Trek conception on my literal Star Trek device. Impossible to even think about how inconceivable this stuff was years ago. And you’re complaining because they use react. The epitome of entitlement, fi
