I also got out of the article that we shouldn't let people work who shouldn't work (the water as a resource vs labor as a resource comparison). That implies those people are provid…

Have you seen profits lately? The money is going to the shareholders. You hardly see it in the products you buy (they're the same, just more expensive) or in your wage going up. Th…

I listen to radio a lot. NTS, FIP, Concertzender. It's a great way to discover new music and have some human presence. Recently a DJ with excellent music taste and a deep radio-per…

Right now the article reads as "AI can play doctor if you give MRI scans". If the author would actually go for a second opinion (maybe bring along the AI to let it explain it's fin…

There was an article on HN a few weeks ago where someone detailed how they managed to get an old datacenter GPU to run in their consumer PC, getting decent performance with qwen. H…

Wow, totally forgot I've used this rss reader in the past. Happy to still it's still rocking and stronger than ever! Ps: love the statement "it's like podcast, but for reading".

First iPhone didn't have support for 3rd party apps. Steve Jobs even explicitly spoke about wanting to have all 3rd party things run in the browser. Only when jailbreaking and cust…

So maybe now the advice could be to build a passable mvp and then use that to figure out the product-market fit. It's a lot easier to think about it and discuss it with others when…

This is the third HN post I read on this topic. Everytime the same tweet (or whatever it's called for mastodon/bluesky/etc). Did anyone actually debug the issue? Was it caused by p…

AI has no taste, so I suspect the labs just gave it a bunch of decent looking boilerplate as preferred style. When you bring your own ideas you can get AI to dev pretty nice lookin…

I work with stakeholders that come from different backgrounds (different countries, non-engineers). No way that we can get aligned using just text. Or if we try, it will take a tre…

Yes. As someone else points out: the techniques for this exist (and have existed for decades). It was never worth it to fully pursuit it, especially for more messy human-heavy proc…

I suggest to hope less. The world order we knew is upended and it's likely to stay that way. Better to spend energy shaping that into something that is acceptable, then hoping it w…

You can put a limit on token spend and provide training (and even pre-configured workflows) on how to limit token spend. Like the other commenter said: cloud spend can also spin ou…

Ask them to share their prompt instead. Calls them out on their AI bs and gives a way forward to share what they actually thought.

I am working with agentic AI on industrial manufacturing data. The speed at which you can get insights and dig into all kinds of rabbit holes is insane. It's just as easy to compar…

The exact outcome depends on the country's specific laws, but generally speaking, there is protection. In the Netherlands you get up two years paid sick leave, before your employer…

I used to do lots of data engineering in Python, then started doing all kinds of engineering in primarily Go. The Go ecosystem for data is very limited. There are no widely support…

If you're at a stage where code doesn't compile and doesn't do what you want, then that's really easy to improve. - let the llm (agent) compile the code and iterate until it does. …

This implies that the government respects the rules or at the very least pretends to do so. To me it's pretty clear that the US federal government has moved beyond that.

One does not rule out the other. In the end it's nerds messing with hardware. Lots of computer culture is rooted in anarchism, anti-capitalism and a fight for fairness. E.g. early …

To me these all sound pretty plausible? You have browser extensions that allow AI to control it. There are apps that create a virtual microphone for text to speech. All pretty easy…

Says a lot about the state of society when parenting is outsourced to technology, so that the parents can be further enslaved (because almost no one chooses to work two jobs).

EU severely reducing its fossil fuel imports from Russia in 2022 cut down natural gas usage by 17% and overall energy consumption by 3%. So yeah, increased price due to scarcity he…

I'm on a very similar train. You cannot dump all the data into an LLM (for many reasons) and we also already have clearly defined rules that an LLM doesn't have to figure out. So k…
