If yes, my ESG fund is interested.

Do you sell hotdog options? I want some hotdogs at a guaranteed price, but only next week. (I just want upside exposure)

But then they wouldn't have gotten a cool headline at the top of HN front page.

Selling to a reseller at the same price isn't an issue. The problem is disallowing selling direct to customer at a lower price. It means if someone makes another online marketplace, let's call it Ganjes, then if they have lower ov

I think it's a training data thing. They can only gather valid training data from real human interactions, so they don't want to subsidize tokens for purely automated interactions.

If you want the level of storage, screen resolution and camera quality as a $500 phone from 8 years ago, you can get that for $250 today. Of course their marketing team tries to convince you to spend more money. That doesn't mean you h

Given how addictive vibecoding is, I think it's very hard to be objective about the results if you are involved in the process.

How many times would you use that structure in a single article? > Am I AI slop? This is the internet, you could be a dog for all anybody cares. If you write like AI though...

by snovv_crash 7mo ago
Well I found the text to be obviously inflated with AI, becoming much more verbose than necessary, even if syntactically, grammatically and structurally it was correct.

I agree, but I think the same logic could have been applied to the structure of the article. It could have all been 2 paragraphs.

I'm more interested if it fixes CVEs faster than it introduces them.

Single letter variables all the way. Then it's easy to tell what code is human welritten. /s

My vote: AI induced psychosis via sycophantic assurances that the results are real. Plus a heap of Dunning-Kruger by allowing someone with just enough knowledge to be dangerous to get far enough to waste everyone's time.

I wonder if they also only want agents to read it, not people.

LLM prose is very bland and smooth, in the same way that bland white factory bread is bland and smooth. It also typically uses a lot of words to convey very simple ideas, simply because the data is typically based on a small prompt that it

Unless you're aware of hyperspectral image adapters for LLMs they aren't capable of that either.

Manually no. It would have to be learned, and making the expert selection predictable would need to be a training metric to minimize.
109.
by snovv_crash 7mo ago
The real improvement will be when the software engineers get into the training loop. Then we can have MoE that use cache-friendly expert utilisation and maybe even learned prefetching for what the next experts will be.

Most data I've used is for geospatial with D<=4 (xyzt) so for me search trees worked great. But for things like descriptor or embedding clustering yes, trees wouldn't be useful.

For CPU with bigger K you would put the centroids in a search tree, so take advantage of the sparsity, while a GPU would calculate the full NxK distance matrix. So from my understanding the bottleneck they are fixing doesn't show up on

Models, however, can reproduce copyleft code verbatim, and are being redistributed. Doesn't that count? Licences like AGPL also don't have redistribution as their only restriction.

Curious how this would deal with things like Kahan Summation, which corrects floating point errors that theoretically wouldn't exist if you had infinite precision representations.

by snovv_crash 7mo ago
But it's like crypto then, good for buying other crypto, or illegal stuff. Also people are using CC for the cheap access to the model, otherwise they'd be using opencode.

Timecube... Although I'm not sure if that's what you were thinking of.

The advertisers still pay, they just don't get conversions.

Having written the AI systems for Robocode bots 15 years ago, they perform at such a higher level than humans that there is no way, given all the time in the world, a human can compete with a full statistical targeting and movement system.

People are not uniform fungible programmers. I want someone who is a specialist and above average at the stuff I'm trying to do. If that specialization commands a higher market rate than average, then yes, that's what they get pai

Hoe much dedicated cache do these NPUs have? Because it's easy enough to saturate the memory bandwidth using the CPU for compute, never mind the GPU. Adding dark silicon for some special operations isn't going to make out memory b

When I interview people for a job I'm not looking to hire an average programmer, though.
