Sorry, I understand scraping is a problem, but talking about open Internet while simultaneously complaining you can no longer discriminate datacenter IPs like you used to is hypocr…

Around last fall it started chronically lagging in SOTA models support. Honestly, not sure why a code update is even needed for that. Eventually it'd get patched but it just wasn't…

This reminds me of the workflow I had a year ago. Miss Aider so much. Are there any good open source agents right now? Might be a good time to try one soon as Fable switches to tok…

Yep.

Whew. Crashed before I sunk my day there.

It's disappearing. Even if models stop evolving tomorrow, there's still enough potential in the harness improvement to reach the point where anything 99% of us know about software …

How about fixing whatever the hell prevents competitive private LLM vendors from appearing in Europe?

Sounds like calling those model "open source" did its wicked job. You can not take an open weight model and build a next-generation model using that as a foundation. Once those com…

The new tricks seem to be "ultrathink" and "you are a rock star software architect". That's not the stuff careers are made of.

I don't care as much about LLMs deprecating my accumulated knowledge. After a quarter of a century in the industry I have plenty of stuff in my head of purely sentimental value. Bu…

Personally, I don't know a place more hyped up about AI than HN. It turned from my daily dose of tech excitement into a daily dose of tech anxiety. As for your argument, there's no…

I've recently found myself unable to finish articles that take more than a paragraph to announce their point. But starting with "Your life’s goal should be" is a level of boldness …

I had human teachers who did that in middle/high school. Took me many years to pick out all the hallucinated bits of "knowledge". I don't think the current models are any less reli…

I've tried switching from JetBrains IDEs just a few days ago. The speed and memory footprint are very impressive. I ended up badly missing refactorings and some other features and …

Satoshi is a paper billionaire - he can't use a small fraction of his "wealth" to hire proper security. Simultaneously his "assets" are much more attractive to criminals. Imagine h…

The real winner in this war is Israel. Iran's military might is now a shadow of its former self while all the costs have been paid by someone else: American taxpayers, gas consumer…

I am working on a P2P VPN app that lets you route your traffic through a friend's Internet connection easily. It has a few distinct uses, but right now I am testing whether emigran…

It's not the extension developer who should decide this, but the browser user.

Not a mental health crisis like the guy in TFA had, but I've definitely experienced states I would characterize as overexcitement while calibrating my expectations of these new too…

It was close enough for me and I do acknowledge the cruelty and abstain from many kinds of meat. I was super excited when I tried it first. But after about a year of being part of …

It may indeed be the case that the candidate promised one thing and the voters acting irrationally (or correctly assuming he's a liar) voted with an expectation of him doing the ex…

I am working on a P2P VPN app that lets you use a friend abroad as your VPN provider with no special setup: https://spora.to It's mainly for censorship evasion (should be much hard…
