"The “after” curve is higher than the “before” curve to the right of 140ms which means more requests are finishing slower than before." Think they made a typo - "before" curve is h…

Yeah - it does feel a bit overly dramatic, books mentioned from a potentially related article are from like 2018 ( https://nltimes.nl/2026/06/25/rare-book-dealers-fear-tech-fi... )…

So this isn't groundbreaking results and the article itself is of questionable quality without sufficient detail as to why this is a newsworthy result. How is this the top rated ar…

I actually like this idea - makes sense at face value - as long as they design the test in such a way that it aptly applies the knowledge instead of just learning for the sake of p…

I get where you're coming from, was shocked when I left a relatively well organised corporate and did work at a relatively older company with a ton of legacy systems - when I asked…

A financial services company in Africa

I've seen legitimately good outcomes with AI - a backlog has been cleared, features that were left on the cutting room floor have been pulled back in AND delivered all thanks to th…

If you are eyeing the South African market - I can promise you granting credit here is waaaaayyy ahead of the US. There is a very solid credit bureau and a few of the banks are alr…

Reflecting on my own experience - frequency of contact (if I see them once a year, can't really count them as close friends) How involved they are in my life - are they people I tu…

What makes you consider them close (aside from length of friendship)?

Boils down to the basics of proper science - how does one measure/quantify close friends?

Yeah, he was quite vocal in his opinion that they would plateau earlier than they did and that little value would be derived from them because they're just stochastic parrots. Agre…

Was my thinking exactly - but also semantically equivalent is also only relevant when it needs to be factual, not necessarily for ALL outputs (if we're aiming for LLM's to present …

In a few years we've gone from gibberish (less poetic maybe, less polished and surprising, but none the less gibberish) - to legit conversational, and in my own opinion, well round…

Which statistics in which study? Given the current system any sampling from college/university would be cherry picking vs general populous (unless you also sample general populatio…

Interesting/unfortunate/expected that GPT-5 isn't touted as AGI or some other outlandish claim. It's just improved reasoning etc. I know it's not the actual announcement and it's j…

Extensive post on how neurosymbolic AI, the marriage between connectionist and neuro-symbolic approach to AI is potentially finally vindicated - opinion-piece by Gary Marcus

In America maybe, in south africa it's quite the opposite considering the government provides a lot more support for poor non-white folks than for white folks (specifically based o…

Might be missing something but how is this on the front page of hackernews? It feels more like an ad than anything else.

The closest article I could find to "Smith, J. et al. (2023). "Advances in Probabilistic Forecasting." Journal of Forecasting" was from the April issue of Journal of Forecasting, b…

So Minimax just "open-sourced" (I add it in "" because they have a custom license for its use and I've not read through that) but they have context length of 4-million tokens and i…

FYI limited to to US only - they refer you to their sister project: https://darwinsark.org/ if you'd still like to contribute in a similar fashion but reside outside of USA.

I'd say human rights violation is a bit of a stretch - the negative impact of social media use on an adolescent's psychological well-being is well documented - so possibly even the…
