    Okay so the OP is saying that since Macbook Neo has the same hardware as iphone, but not locked down, so why is iphone locked down. They say its because of the app store profits. S…

    I think it might be 2020 when the M1 was released since I remember i had bought a mac book in 2019 and it was still intel

    I really like Clawdbots safety gloves off approach - no handholding or just saying yes to every permission. I set it up on a old macbook pro I had that had a broken screen and it w…

    Some great life lessons here, but also some I don't agree with: - The lazy person works twice as hard. Often I found you can save a lot of time just trying to the minimal possible …

    Just because it is in C, doesn't mean you will get C like performance. Just look at the benchmarks, it is 8x slower than just using PyTorch... while I get its cool to use LLMs to g…

    I really liked the approach of getting new topics to research via embeddings, trails, and claude code, but often what will this give you outside of novelty?

    Hey HN! I built an explorer for all NeurIPS 2025 Main Conference and workshop papers with reviews, scores, and code links. But the unique feature: AI-generated "explainers" that br…

    The claims in this paper don't make sense. There is no proof that anything has been decompressed

    Turning it off and then on again works in a lot of surprising places

    People basically want a life coach, someone by their side who can tell them what the best next thing to do is at any given moment. Everything else are just approximation of that id…

    While I agree with the author's vision for a more human-centric AI, I think we're closer to that than the article suggests. The core issue is that the default behavior is what's be…

    My two takeaways is you build 1) Having a precise vision of what you want to achieve 2) Being able to control / steer AI towards that vision Teams that can do both of these things,…

    This was a bit hard to read. It would be good to have a narrative structure and more clear explanation of concepts.

    I'd love to host my own LLMs but I keep getting held back from the quality and affordability of Cloud LLMs. Why go local unless there's private data involved?

    I like the idea of removing quadratic scaling for attention, this paper has thin experimental support. No real tasks tested beyond perplexity. Nothing on reasoning, retrieval QA, o…

    Nice idea! I think it would be better if it was just context and not connected to any model. Think of one place where you can hook in your drive folder, GitHub, etc. and have it pr…

    Could you pop your code into an LLM and ask it to write comments for you? I'm not sure how accurate it is though

    You can describe a diagram with markdown like mermaid, so you can at least understand state changes and processes which are core to engineering.

    This just seems like a fancy way of describing LoRA? At the end of the day you are still learning weights based on a described set of outputs and then applying them to inference

    There are already some resources like that like: leetgpu.com https://github.com/srush/GPU-Puzzles For me its about a sense of progress, like in chess you can have an ELO score. Or …
