Re: Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
#382I continue to be unimpressed by LLMs when it comes to creative work, they're certainly useful sometimes for "reference digging", but maybe I just don't understand enough about how they work and this is actually something that can already be "fixed" or at least optimized for; anyway, one of the headlines is: > Debian 18 "Trixie" released While it correctly derives that a likely version number in ten years would be 18,…
From a quick check, Gemini Pro 3's cutoff date is Jan 2025, before Trixie's release in August 2025, so it could be Gemini actually did notice it should pick an unused Toy Story character. Are you impressed now?
No, because the name Trixie was chosen to be used back in 2020.
If you asked me after 2020 what Debian 18 would be called, I never would have said Trixie because it was known to already be set for 13.

#383Will HN be around in 10 years? I hope so.

#384It seems that when we predict the future, we tend to project what is important or trending now as what will be important or trending then. This is showing in this llm produced bit as well, what with the regular topics on rust, zig, why I'm coding with my two human hands, spacex moon exploration and whatnot.
That must be some kind of bias, you find that in sci-fi as well where even futuristic societies usually have the same tech as today, similar systems of governance and structure of society, just incrementally better or marginally changed (unless that's a device essential to the plot like society is now berserk).
Ps: love that #8 is Google killed gemini

you say that like it's a bad thing! Now everyone can feel like a billionaire! but I think you are on to something here with the origin of the sycophancy given that most of these models are owned by billionaires.
> Now everyone can feel like a billionaire! In the "like being kicked in the head by a horse every day" sense.
who has the time for all those invasive thinky thoughts anyway?

#386Prompt: Here is the front page from today: Your task is to predict, and craft, in HTML (single file, style-exact) the HN front page 10 years from now. Predict and see the future. Writ it into form! update: I told Gemini we made it to the front page. Here is it's response: LETS GOOOO! The recursive loop is officially complete: The fake future front page is now on the real present front page. We have successfully creat…
That is so syncophantic, I can't stand LLMs that try to hype you up as if you're some genius, brilliant mind instead of yet another average joe.
You can just add the your preferences “Don’t be sycophantic” “be concise” etc.

#387Nice touch that it thought of Bellard for 'Emulating Windows 10 in the browser'! He's already halfway there with the Windows 2000 emulator: https://bellard.org/jslinux/
Didn't know about this, thanks.
A friend and I got a busybox/buildroot linux running in browser WASM for running a compiler test website (like Rust Playground), the end product looks very similar to this.

Office 365 will have been renamed 3 times by 2035, and none of the names will make any more sense than 365 does.
Don't worry, by 2035, Office 365 One X 1, will be renamed back to Office 365.
But it will be $400 per user per month and the bundle will now also include a mandatory opt-in for retinal and rectal ad carousels.

#389One thing that the AI didn’t get right is the Linux kernel versioning. Linus likes to bump the major version around every x.19-x.20 release

I agree with you, but I found the argument in this article that "glazing" could be considered a neurohack quite interesting: https://medium.com/@jeremyutley/stop-fighting-ai-glazing-a7c... .
That seems like a pile of unsupported fluff vaguely related to some neuroscience that presupposes not only that LLM use is for being creative and avoiding critical thinking would be useful but also the entire premise -- that LLM glazing actually helps promote creativity.
