You are correct on all counts. This is the IKEA phase of software development. Disposable shit. Need something new and ask an LLM to summon it into existence. I guess you could com…

I’m going to check that out. My personal favorite is the variant of New Athena Unicode they use in the Cultura Classica books (it’s like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata but for Att…

Look I get it. I completely emphasise with the feeling. My undergrad is Computer Science, I often dreamed about writing my own compiler and spent years learning low level performan…

It’s great to care about the craft as long as someone else is paying for it. I think most software developers are waking up to the reality that they were always just holding busine…

Interesting project. I would love if you could switch fonts to something like New Athena Unicode. I built something similar to this by cloning the Diogenes repo and getting Claude …

I don’t trust point estimates like 14%. It’s like calculating an average salary and saying it’s $120k. Completely meaningless. What does the actual distribution look like that this…

I’m personally hoping for the next big AI gangbanger to be theoretical physics. Boy does that field need a good reshuffle. I think when any novel mathematical theory can be done by…

To “be” in a body. What is “in” your body? You could also say “wow it’s really weird to be a body”. The whole self thing seems to be the illusory part. Something like this: https:/…

The great thing about these mathematical mopping up type operations is that no person will waste their time trying to prove it to be true anymore. If anything that’s a win. It woul…

Based on my usage of Fable on the max plan, Anthropic is going to have to at least double the usage limits for it to be a viable option in the near future. And without Fable, the v…

Even Neanderthals? Were they also made in his image? We interbred with them. We can go all the way down the evolutionary tree here just say when to stop.

So glad Fable limits just got reset. Thanks OpenAI.

Same. I don’t know what Mickey Mouse work people are doing that 4.8 is “enough”. CRUD apps maybe? I have some serious Bayesian statistical research programs running and Fable is on…

I wonder how many of the problems he lists on https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/news.html could be solved/checked with something like Fable at this point.

The US government will do the job of destroying the American AI economy through their export controls.

What’s assumed and not explicitly stated is the law of the excluded middle. That A is true or A is false and those are the only 2 possibilities. If you assume the law of the exclud…

Basically the signal is that the total market for any US AI company is capped at however big the US market is. As non-US AI converges to Opus 4.8 level parity, whatever is still no…

You have to keep reinterpreting it until it aligns with whatever the masses currently consider to be true. This has been going on forever. The current hot reinterpretation is to sa…

This all reminds me of in the 90s when the Borland C++ compilers and Turbo Pascal shit came out and everyone was still hand rolling assembler because the optimising compilers were …

As a non-US person, I will use whatever is the best and reasonably priced. I could not give one iota about who makes or hosts these models. The origin or political leanings of thes…

I think the Amish will mostly be fine. Maybe that's how the future looks like.

Hey, I’m doing the exact same as OP and so is everyone at work I know who has a memefolio of shares. You never bet against papa Musk. You guys are looking at these IPOs all wrong. …

The one thing you can say though, is that “benefits himself” does not mean: buying a super yacht, a casino, an island, etc. So yeah, he’d YOLO and do the Mars trip before any of th…

I use the disparaging nature of the comments on HN as an indicator of AI progress. It’s negatively correlated. By that metric, AI has improved significantly this year alone.

But only during the forward pass of the neural network?
