Fair enough. I really like the tarpit analogy, wasn't familiar with it. You can keep pulling your feet out faster than the tar rises, as long as you're willing to keep spending the…

I think we're basically agreeing here. Your point (if I'm reading it right) is that taste and discernment do scale, but the gains come through pretraining/parameter scaling, which …

If you're properly bitter-lesson-pilled then why wouldn't better models continue to develop and improve taste and discernment when it comes to design, development, and just better …

I built a Rust drop-in replacement for svelte-check that's 10-30x faster for Svelte 5 projects. What it does: - Parses Svelte files with a custom Rust parser - Transforms them to T…

No Pinball :(

What if the slowdown isn't a bug but a feature? What if AI tools are forcing developers to think more carefully about their code, making them slower but potentially producing bette…

> This is also an uncomfortable direction. All investors have been betting on the application layer. In the next stage of AI evolution, the application layer is likely to be the fi…

the entire premise of this economic index is that they're showing you actual usage and insights from millions of anonymized claude conversations.

i think it says, amongst other things, that there is a salient difference between competitive programming like codeforce and real-world programming. u can train a model to hillclim…

The "second year university student" analogy is interesting, but might not fully capture what's unique about LLMs in strategic analysis. Unlike students, LLMs can simultaneously pr…

The paper argues against using LLMs for military strategy, claiming "no textbook contains the right answers" and strategy can't be learned from text alone (the "Virtual Clausewitz"…

How generalizable are these findings given the rapid pace of AI advancement? The paper studies a snapshot in time with current AI capabilities, but the relationship between human e…

AI appears to have automated aspects of the job scientists found most intellectually satisfying. - Reduced creativity and ideation work (dropping from 39% to 16% of time) - Increas…

Does Codebuff / the tree sitter implementation support Svelte?

I created HN Push to help reduce the urge to refresh Hacker News constantly. Since I rely on HN for real-time tech news, I wanted an efficient way to stay informed without having t…

I imagine it's difficult to be a good teacher and find effective ways to encourage students to rigorously think about things they care about in spite of the discomfort it might cau…

With more capable models, reliable test time compute, and more sophisticated RAG ( https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-rockset/ ) I genuinely struggle to see meaningful use ca…

The biggest hurdle I'm personally struggling with now as a software engineer trying to find the motivation to continue writing code and developing products isn't simply that AI is …

I've enjoyed working with Reflex ( https://reflex.dev ) as a pure Python wrapper over React.

Relevant to this discussion is the fact that if an LLM can’t come up with that, it wouldn’t be due to the inability to mix and match to form novel ideas, but something else, and th…

I'm happy to leave the conversation here. I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying, but we appear to be making different points, or at least at different levels of desc…
