How interesting. I also tried “XML Startup” with and without personalization and got nothing from hacker news on the first three pages of links. I had no idea there was so much variance on returned results.

That seemed amazing to me because it would’ve meant Google found the comment, integrated it into thier index, and then made that index available, all within three hours. I know Google is good but are they that good? I googled “xml startup

We probably do need some kind of regulation in this space because for better or worse, and I think it’s worse, it’s hard to be a participant in modern society without a smart phone. (In my mind it would be something more akin to the commun

We would also need a definition of AGI that is provable or disprovable. We don’t even have a workable definition, never mind a machine.

Defect rate is a probability distribution so some people will get 10 heads in a row and others will get 10 tails, and since it’s the internet, and since it’s kinda amazing we hear about both. But most people get a mixture and post nothing.

I'm not sure those statements are in conflict with each other. “My view is you absolutely want to keep hiring kids out of college and teaching them the right ways to go build software and decompose problems and think about it, just as

Great post. What’s Next: Shame Notifications: "You were literally 100 meters from the gym and walked past it" As much as I hate to admit it, that would probably work on me and I’d probably turn it on.

I wonder if GPT-5 benefited from what you learned about how-to-prompt for this problem while prompting Claude for 3 days? I done a couple of experiments now and I can get an LLM to make not horrible and mostly functional code with effort. (

> I think this is fundamentally impossible because of dynamic behaviours. I was thinking that too as it sounds awfully close to a variant of the halting problem. But since I am not sure that it's actually equivalent, and there might

In my experience most countries put barriers in place to prevent people from moving into the country, from another country, when you don't have enough money to support yourself, but I believe the parent is describing a system that puts

"You don't think about memories when you design hardware" I found that comment interesting because memory is mostly what I think about when I design hardware. Memory access is by far the slowest thing, so managing memory band

I’m not sure what their simple function was but I tried to use Claude to recreate C++ code to implement the algorithms in this paper as practice for me in LLM use and it didn’t go well. But I’ll be the first to admit that I’m probably hold

This also all assumes that there is excess foundry capacity in the world for Google to expand into, which is not obvious. One would need exceptionally good operations to compete here and that has never been Google's forte. https:&#x
