One idea I had was a chrome extension that manages my system prompts or snippets. That way you could put some context/instructions about how you want the LLM to do text generation into the text input field from the extension. And it wo

I agree with this in the general sense but of course I would like to minimize the thrash. I have become obsessive about doing git commits in the way I used to obsess over Ctrl-S before the days of source control. As soon as I get to a point

I haven't used Aider yet, but I see it show up on HN frequently recently (the last couple of days specifically). I am hesitant because I am paying for Cursor now and I get a lot of model usage included within that monthly cost. I'

I am not implying in any sense a value judgement on cost. I'm stating my emotions at the realization of the cost and how that affects my ability to use the available tools in my own education. It would be no different than me saying &q

So I have been using Cursor a lot more in a vibe code way lately and I have been coming across what a lot of people report: sometimes the model will rewrite perfectly working code that I didn't ask it to touch and break it. In most cas

I would argue his suggestion of a fine isn't to be taken seriously. The options of imprisonment, exile and death are the reasonable alternatives. Let's examine your opinion here, which of course you are entitled to. Socrates could

I have not tried any of the Grok models but that is probably because I am rarely on X. I have to admit I have a bias where I think Google is "business" while Grok is for lols. But I should probably take the time to asses it since

The man proposing the sentence is Meletus (37b): > Because I am afraid of the penalty of death which Meletus proposes? Which is to say, the plaintiff. No different than in court today where the prosecution asks the court for a sentence t

I think it requires a nuanced take but allow me to provide some counter-examples. The first is CEO pay rates. Another is the highest paid public employees (which tend to be coaches at state schools). This is evidence that the market highly

I too was a bit disappointed, hoping we'd get some statistics on chord progressions. But to be fair to the OP, he analyzed chord progressions to generate statistics on chords. It does inspire hope that someone will take the same datase

Yeah, it is very close. But I feel simp has a bit of a sexual feel to it. Like a guy who does favors for a girl expecting affection in return, or donates a lot of money to an OnlyFans or Twitch streamer. I also see simp used where we used t

Fair point, and a good reminder not to pass judgement on the actions of others. It is totally possible that Altman made his own prediction of the future and theorized that the only hope he had of competing with the existing big tech compani

It's a bit of a fancy way to say "yes man". Like in corporations or politics, if a leader surrounds themselves with "yes men". A synonym would be sycophantic which would be "behaving or done in an obsequious wa

I wouldn't worry about downvotes, it isn't possible on HN to downvote direct replies to your message (unlike reddit), so you cannot be accused of downvoting me unless you did so using an alt. Some people see tech like they see spo

It may not be relevant to everyone, but it is worth noting that his contribution to AlpaFold won Hassabis a Nobel prize in chemistry.

I can confirm the model name in Run Settings has been updated to "Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview ..." when it used to be "Gemini 2.5 Pro (Experimental) ...". I cannot confirm if the quality is downgraded since I haven't had

It is more gut feel than a rational or carefully reasoned argument. I think Pichai has been an exceptional revenue maximizer but he lacks vision. I think he is probably capable of squeezing tremendous revenue out of AI once it has been achi

Google making Gemini 2.5 Pro (Experimental) free was a big deal. I haven't tried the more expensive OpenAI models so I can't even compare, only to the free models I have used of theirs in the past. Gemini 2.5 Pro is so much of a s

If the battle was between Altman and Pichai I'd have my doubts. But the battle is between Altman and Hassabis. I recall some advice on investment from Buffett regarding how he invests in the management team.

As I quoted above, in 37c, 37d and 38e, Plato insinuates that Socrates had the option of groveling for his life. He explicitly refuses to do so. Why would he choose death before groveling? As he states: > But I thought that I ought not t

He states that he won't accept it as part of his argumentation (See passages 37c, 37d): > And if I say exile (and this may possibly be the penalty which you will affix) One commentary I read suggested that it wasn't uncommon fo

Not in my opinion, but it isn't for me to decide. I want to encourage people to keep thinking. It is possible to consider many motivations for Socrates' decision, and the goal is to encourage the consideration of a wide array of p

Sure, but if your guess is "He probably hated democracy so much that he would rather die than accept it" (correct me if I'm implying something other than your meaning), then you should probably read the dialogue to check and

by zoogeny 1y ago
Instead of guessing you could read the dialogue where Socrates outlines his reasons in detail. But that doesn't mean you should accept his reasons, since the point is to feed your own curiosity rather than accept hand-fed answers.

The point of Plato's dialogues (whether fictional, based on a real-story or otherwise) is to encourage thought and not to forward a conclusion with the aim to stop thought. I encourage people not to outsource their own thought to Wikip

It reminds me of Plato's Apology. It is the dialogue where Socrates is on trial for corrupting the youth. The end result is the citizens of Athens convict him and his options are to drink hemlock poison or ostracization. He chooses dea

I worked on a team that did. We had a monthly call with a MS rep and access to devs working on the platform features we were working on (for MS Teams specifically). It is probably more common than you think.
