For what's its worth, any model that uses constitutional AI (like claude) does not use RLHF anymore

This is the thought process that I fail to see many people take (both here and other places). AI is changing many fields, ok what does that look like and how do we adapt? What can …

Whoa that's awesome. I didn't know California had one of those. Keeps animals, humans, and cars safe and looks beautiful too.

Personally I think the valuation is detached from the company itself. In theory Tesla's valuation is too high, but it doesn't seem to be coming down any time soon. Plus there seems…

I strongly disagree. Just because compression is common in pop music (and perhaps overused in some genres) doesn't mean new music isn't innovative and dynamic. When I listen to mus…

It sounds like you're saying that low will power leads to depression.

I hope this is a joke. Calvin's dad lying to him wasn't supposed to be idealized.

Looks like they missed Major League Cricket (MLC) founded in 2023

Everyone loves to compare AI with the dot com bubble. My question is, were there any policies put in place after the dot com bubble to mitigate a similar crash? Or did we learn not…

50 cent's intrinsic value doesn't decrease over time so to maintain that value, his name must go up.

How is thinking that a company might be doing PR work in a hacker news tread a conspiracy theory?

It takes the great minds at yale to figure these things out

Keebio LM is really nice. I've had one for about 3 months now and it's been great https://keeb.io/products/iris-lm-keyboard

It often seems that people think that the answers to the important questions must align with the subject they know best. Statisticians think life is all about probabilities. Econom…

HackRF One can go up to 6GHz ($400 new or $100 on alibaba for a similar device). Any higher frequency than that you'll be paying thousands.

They will continue to orbit for about 150 years, slowly falling towards earth until the drag from the atmosphere burns them up. "Like many older satellites, the POES satellites do …

Sadly, you can't really get NOAA satellite images any more. NOAA-15 and 19 were decommissioned August 19, 2025, and NOAA 18 was decommissioned in June. It's my understanding that y…

This is great info. Thanks.

Kind of. I don't use grapheneOS and I'd like to, but de-googling your phone by buying a Google phone seems a bit sketchy. I don't want to take away from a privacy focused project. …

Someone clearly replied with the same link. I'm not sure how many people would keep replying the same thing without even doing a simple thread search.

Thanks > These devices meet the stringent privacy and security standards and have substantial upstream and downstream hardening specific to the devices It still seems strange. A bi…

I've always found it strange that GrapheneOS only runs on Google hardware. Can anyone explain this choice?

I see what your saying but I would argue that vibe coding an ODE solver is an incorrect use of the tool. For something like and ODE solver you need to have a really solid understan…

Damn bro. Deep dive into the comments. The bad algo was a scaling problem for one equation. That particular equation wasn't some y = mx + b thing, it was the result of a discontinu…
