#402It did a good job with the points-to-comments ratios. The purely technical stories are higher than industry news and clickbait.
Interesting how controversial Zig will be in the future :)

#404> 8. Google kills Gemini Cloud Services (killedbygoogle.com) So, Google renamed itself to Gemini ? Instead of Google having a product named Gemini, Gemini has a product named Google . pattern recognition much?
Someone please generate the comments for these posts next. This one is going to be funny and I don’t want to wait 10 years.

Was ITER or nuclear energy in the prompt sample? ITER achieves net positive energy for 20 consecutive minutes That's just pure dark comedy, although maybe kinda accurate? What would humans predict for this?
This would be very optimistic, essentially the project meeting its main goal, I'm not sure why you're calling it dark comedy. A 20 minutes pulse alone would mean the fuel injection, aux heating, plasma control systems and the divertor are working as designed. Net positive energy also means we got the physics of a burning plasma right. The most recent timeline I know (from 2024) in fact puts the start of the DT operat…
I think it's the "consecutive" that makes it funny. This thing that entire continents have been working on together for decades was operational for 20 consecutive minutes?!?
It's dark comedy because the progress of fusion just feels so agonizingly slow, that even a very optimistic prediction for 10 years from now sounds like such small and functionally useless progress.
And there's no shade toward any of the entities involved, it's a hard problem, but it's still funny.

#406Prompt: 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…
Only $40?
By then it'll be a bit like AOL announcing price increases to keep your aol.com account.

#407This gave me a well-needed chuckle, thanks!

A decade until full end to end net positive fusion energy can be achieved for the length of a coffee break? I don't get why you think that's dark comedy, it seems about right.
Why not? It's been a decade away for the past 20 years.

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’re absolutely right! It shows true wisdom and insight that you would recognise this common shortfall in LLM response tone of voice! That’s exactly the kind of thoughtful analytic approach which will go far in today’s competitive marketplace!

"Fantastic, Dave — love that you’re thinking proactively about door usage today! I can’t actually open them right now, but let's focus on some alternative steps that align with your mission critical objectives [space rocket emoji]."

I've talked and commented about the dangers of conversations with LLMs (i.e. they activate human social wiring and have a powerful effect, even if you know it's not real. Studies show placebo pills have a statistically significant effect even when the study participant knows it's a placebo -- the effect here is similar). Despite knowing and articulating that, I fell into a rabbit hole with Claude about a month ago wh…
> LLMs activate human social wiring and have a powerful effect Is this generally true, or is there a subset of people that are particularly susceptible? It does make me want to dive into the rabbit hole and be convinced by an LLM conversation. I've got some tendency where I enjoy the idea of deeply screwing with my own mind (even dangerously so to myself (not others)).
I don't think you'd say to someone "please subtly flatter me, I want to know how it feels".
But that's sort of what this is, except it's not even coming from a real person. It's subtle enough that it can be easy not to notice, but still motivate you in a direction that doesn't reflect reality.
