i live in shibuya and i have countless videos where it’s just make the damn building with noise in mind (RC, interior insulation, gapped flooring, etc). it’s very possible. (btw I …

are there tells beyond the lyrics? I swear there are a number of songs using out of “human distribution” words, trigrams, etc. Is it overall song structure?

you’re admitting this is a dog whistle? on behalf of the amazingly well dressed colleagues over my career, post a fit and let’s see.

I _really_ think you have an interesting tool, but the workflow loop isn't fully there. Please let me revise or remix a suggested node. I find them extremely engaging, and I can en…

these two posts (the parent and then the OP) seem equally empty? by level of compute spend, it might look like: - ask an LLM in the same query/thread to write code AND tests (not g…

I value the author's optimism, but this list activates a deep fear in me. It feels like a such an American point of view to think a techno-ideal is defined simply by buying a diffe…

I love HN because everyone is so different outside of the core purpose of the site. Sometimes people reference art, or a book or something, that I'd never would think to exist. Lla…

I want to shoutout Nial Ashley (aka Llainwire) for doing this in 2023 as a solo act and doing the visuals himself as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZXg5wVoUU A shame that…

it at least seems like it has a modicum of human thought, whereas this GPT drivel does not.

the cheap house thing has nothing to do with if you’re foreign and everything to do with a bank not wanting to lend money for something there’s no market for. you can easily buy th…

I just read the book last week. What you said is not true in any useful sense. “Germans were acutely aware…” tries to reduce an entire population and years into one statement. Real…

do you have a source? when i’ve done toy demos where GPT5, sonnet 4 and gemini 2.5 pro critique/vote on various docs (eg PRDs) they did not choose their own material more often tha…

can you say more about world models or symbolism? i thought world models like genie 3 would be the training mechanism, but i likely misunderstand.

These stories always have me instantly sobbing, life can be tragically unfair.

Everyone is responsible for what they deliver. No one is shipping gluttonous CLs, because no one would review them. You still have to know and defend your work. Not sure what to te…

I have a team that’s somewhat junior at a big company. We pretty much have everyone “vibe plan” significantly more than vibe code. - you need to think through the product more, rea…

yes, but those aren’t released and even then you’ll always need glue code. you just need to knowingly resource what glue code is needed, and build it in a way it can scale with wha…

you want more options for voices that reflects all the types of people in the world. good feedback. The next part i’m only saying because it reminds me so much of my younger self: …

way too many people get hung up on the idea OP led with. what OP has is a fully self hosted, private video feed that can alert for more sophisticated events like: - is anything hap…

It’s easy to get 500-700k tokens in. I’ll drop research papers, a lot of work docs, get through a bunch of discussion, before writing a PRD-like doc of tasks to work from. That gen…

Try dropping the entire api docs in the context. If it’s verbose, i usually pull only a subset of pages. Usually I’m using a minimum of 200k tokens to start with gemini 2.5.

i don’t quite understand, what makes it reverse typesetting? my understanding is your typesetting books for responsive eink readers.

Out of curiosity, what happens to you when a less privileged person thinks the same thing about you?

San Francisco, up until covid this still happened for me too. there was a bodega like store in the mission me and other people used. where i live now differs so that phenomenon doe…

please, please stop letting AI rewrite for you. i’m so tired of reading AI slop. instead, ask it to be a disagreeable editor and have it ask questions about your draft. you’ll go s…
