Great. I feel like this is something that I’m going to dig into more. At day job I work with a platform that’s built on OSGI and JCR. I’m keen to explore if this could enable any i…

Thank you for the detailed and technical response. I’m not doubting it providers benefits at the technical level, and I’m keen to dive into it deeper, but I was hoping to understan…

What are the benefits of this. I get the impression it improves speed of…something? Most of the time when using AI comes from the LLM, so I’m curious what this improves?

The irony is, that by drawing attention to these, especially on HN, they are likely to have the view numbers artificially increased, to a point where they no longer has_not_been_vi…

The people of Frankfurt would like to have a word!

In the old days (a few weeks ago) you could read google’s SEO recommendations and guidelines. This was great for debunking many a recommendation from clueless SEO agencies trying t…

Why do many people seem to think we have solved human robots because of the advances in LLMs? We are still yet to solve 4 wheeled robots navigating a constrained environment. Are w…

Nah man. I understand the frustration, but this is a glass is half empty view. You have decades of expert knowledge, which you can use to drive the LLMs in an expert way. Thats whe…

I'm intrigued...how was he wrong?

This is a great and worthwhile discussion. People are loosing sight of what art is. The art is the idea, not the medium. And just because something is easy, doesn't mean it will be…

I don't understand the fascination and focus on Vibe Coding. Sure, you can do that, it's an option, but no serious engineering effort is being left entirely up to the AI. Vibe codi…

Thanks for the reply Jeff. This aligns with my understanding too. I'm close to purchasing a mac mini to replace my aging media pc. The core feature I want is to run microK8s native…

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking to replace my aging mini pc with a mac mini, so I'm quite interested in any limitations here. The full disk encryption I can live without. I'm ass…

May I ask, what experiences are you personally having with LLMs right now that is leading you to the conclusion that they will become "intelligent" enough to identify, organise, an…
