It probably has a few million inputs on how a pelican and bicycle looks, not to mention the amount of data on how to create SVG’s. Ask it to create a relaxing spa website and it will, even though it has never seen a spa.

There’s an infinite number of ”working stuff” implementations, which is kind of the problem, bad decisions multiply. That said, looking at small parts of code for improvements tend to work very well for me, optimizing things like data struc

This mirrors my experience too, long term use starts showing incoherence that is impossible to see in isolation. The funny thing with LLM’s is that with a sufficient sized code base they pretty much will loop forever if you tell them to fin

Everyone can drive really fast if you give them a fast car, but very few can stay on the road when driving fast. LLMs are like free supercars for everyone, except people know nothing about how supercars work or how to drive them. Same thing

I spent 30min with Opus 5 generating some CSS and components for my Phoenix LiveView template project (which I use for starting new projects). Then I spent around 5 hours parsing and cleaning up the output. I could of course not have done t

Agree, not much special about them, and I truly hate their keycap profile which I find to be way too tall. They’re not bad keyboards, and regularly on sales in the 40-60% range for many of their boards, it’s just that they’re not great eith

Chinese labs are equivalent to the Chinese state, there’s no separation. Who do you think funds the Chinese labs?

It’s not a service, I hope nobody thinks this is being done ”for the good of humanity” or whatever. Doesn’t mean there’s not a benefit to people, but the financial politics behind it could turn out extremely good for China, and they are ver

Whatever happened with their new programming language for agents? I expect this will follow the same path.

Pretty insane that we had both Ericsson and Nokia making really good phones and then getting left in the dust. As for GrapheneOS it doesn't sit well with the desire for total digital oversight from EU, digital ID's, tracking and i

Where’s the data for one, do they include the force fed Gemini in search? They are also pushing it harder than Microsoft was pushing copilot in every single of their products, sometimes multiple competing implementations (hello GCP dashboar

Apparently it’s already happening to a degree, wether it continues or not (or even is relevant) is not really my area of expertise. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/goldman-sa...

The Hacker part of Hacker News, thanks for sharing! I think you'd get a lot of bowling alley friends all over if you can package this in a way that they can use it, I would assume the Venn diagram of people running bowling alleys and t

I actually have very detailed specifications around the CSS, the problem is that LLM's are trained mostly on codebases with high amounts of complexity so they like to create layer of abstractions that only make your codebase much harde

I love that we have this on one hand and me cleaning up catastrophic CSS made by Sol on the other. Then again, maybe CSS is the ultimate benchmark.

Thank you. I was starting to think the history revision was almost true, but your recollection is very much in sync with my own. Everything was machine learning, nobody talked about AI unless it was for research, now marketing has changed t

It’s not just about reading the screen, it’s about using it. It’s quite the downgrade going through a slow API hoping to be able to navigate compared to the 10x speed (or more) of screen readers. Then you have the problem of LLMs being stat

I fully expected this to be complements for the output you get from those tools for some reason, that AI generated look. No idea why anyone would want that though.

Thanks for the link, it seems a lot more capable and interesting, to a much better price.

Ah yes, I very much agree on that framing.

The calculator comparisons are truly meaningless imo, a calculator does nothing if you don’t know how to use it and what to input, an LLM circumvents all that, but a lot of people seem to think it’s the same.

It's also very very far from anything general intelligence. This is actually where I think we see the best ROI, we have a specific task or problem and we target it. I remember reading about a model trained on railroad tracks. By puttin

Why would we be able to design a safety plan that would control such a powerful force? It would be like putting umbrellas on an asteroid hoping to slow its fall. That sounds like delusions of grandeur.

Has anything really important been solved by AI yet, or where is this radical (imo) belief around AGI coming from? Genuinely curious, I know there are some math problems solved and ML has been used for far longer than AI to improve things,

So company A pays for your education to go work for company B (their competitor) and all they get is a lousy interest rate with no security? If they don’t get ten years (or whatever amount) of your output, why waste the time and energy when
