I used a Flirc many years ago for my mythtv DVR and it worked great. https://flirc.tv/ edit: I used the receiver, but they do make a remote. It looks cool but I have no experience with it.

Yes, AIs that hallucinate can all be used in different ways. But they can still all hallucinate, so I fail to see how what you are saying mitigates the fundamental, as yet to be solved, problem of AI hallucinations. edit to say, what is the

I agree that that is all true. And exceedingly fucking stupid.

What if the hammer has a problem where the handle breaks off randomly? Same thing happens with AI. Sometimes it breaks, randomly, and without any way of predicting it.

The problem that I see is that no one and no company seems to be making that distinction.

AI is an umbrella term. All AI models can hallucinate. There has been no solution to this problem. Until that problem is resolved, it is, in my opinion, something that only an idiot would run in production. I read about a company that had t

No, it's not. The problem is all AI hallucinates. Therefore, it is guaranteed to be confidently wrong. Until the problem of hallucinations are solved, anyone using AI in a production environment is an idiot, which is, of course, my per

That's not a solution to the root problem. That is duct tape.

I don't think that is an apt comparison.

Tons of people, apparently, aren't enough. I guess I'm just tired of seeing post after post on HN about people complaining that their use of AI in production isn't reliable. It makes me want to pull out the hair I used to hav

Why do we find the unreliabilty and resulting hallicinations as acceptable for AI in production? Can you imagine if Postgres, Apache, Nginx, hell even the Linux kernel were allowed to be use in production if they occassionally went insane?

When did I say any of that? wtf are you talking about? I clearly said OTHER PEOPLE's mistakes, not my own. But thanks for playing. edit: In fact, that is exactly my point. I DO take responsibility for my own mistakes, I just don't

Ask HN: Why isn't using AI in production considered stupid?

Because executives have been misinformed about it's reliability, or lack thereof, and are stupid? Just a guess. e: typo

How did you solve the problem of hallucinations?

by spl757 6mo ago
Don't use tech with deep, unresolved flaws and you won't get fucked. Would you find it acceptable if Postgresql occassionally hallucinated and returned gibberish? Fuck no. Wny is this okay with ANY software? Answer, it's not.

By not using it. The tech is flawed. It hallucinates. It's not production ready. I've said it before, and I will say it again. Anyone using AI in a production environment is a fucking idiot.

I avoided having minions for my entire 30 year IT career. Fuck if I'm going to let someone else's mistakes reflect negatively on me.

All this means is that you can't buy the electronics in a single plastic box. A router is just a small pc with wifi and ethernet. You can buy and build your own WiFi AP and make a router. It's so trivial even a caveman could do it

America is rich. 80%+ Americans are paycheck to paycheck. America is only rich if you are already rich. Income inequality at this level, seen through history, inevitably results in a popular revolution.

Vizio and every other major brand has been, for years, harvesting data from your smart TV. It's a lot easier to track what you are doing if you have to be logged in. At this point, it can actually be easier to piece parts together inst

The only positive thing I can say about Cox is that they fought this fight and won. Cox stil sucks, no symmetic B/W in 2026? Cox thinks you only need to upload at 10% of the download speed you are paying for. i.e 300Mbit down, 30Mbit u

Yes, yes they are. Do your research.

Just because you don't understaned why they are does not mean they are not. It just means you haven't done your research.

Breaking up these monopolies would be a good start. We aren't supposed to have those. There used to be something we called "regulations" but they got rid of that part I think. Elections have consequences.
