Do you really need flock cameras to catch low rank criminals in skid row or kids sneaking into the pool after hours? This seems like a massively imbalanced transaction. Moreover, who really cares about these kids doing that? Our justice sys

It’s fascinating to me how polished these things can look now. Years ago I recall reading a story of some consultant or new team member remarking how strange it is to start at a company, be given a tour of the codebases, and eventually find

I have spent the better part of the last decade of my career being approached by executives asking me how to optimize or automate away services that I felt had reached a local optimum. Each time this was the case I would gently express that

The thing about this is that in a different codebase, even just that search for the trumpet guy could either burn a ton of tokens and come back with nothing or find it but light the ocean on fire in the process. This is because trumpet guy

I can’t teach someone design in a day, but I can elaborate on the reference and point out some of the worst habits. A lot of these designs feature ornamentation without purpose. Look critically at the content in a design it produces. Ask yo

Actually if I must be literal it’s a pretty big part of the culture out there. The playa is rife is with inside jokes that lately revolve around people telling you to have a terrible time, or saying there’s absolutely nothing at some place

I really dislike how the dribbble/envato style somehow escaped containment into Claude and now I’m seeing it everywhere mixed with mediocre design layouts. I think to myself that maybe stuff like this will help counteract that but then

I feel like there’s a non-zero chance you’re getting downvoted because HN doesn’t understand sarcastic burner humor.

> The apparent facts bear out that Luigi is guilty of killing that executive And he pleaded guilty. There’s nothing “alleged” about this conversation, despite feelings about any other aspects of it.

Despite partial agreement, you’ve only reinforced my point as far as I’m concerned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Not the same kind of mess” breaks the comparison, so… no.

Whenever I point out (in agreement with your statement) that the idea that the left and the right are somehow equally bad is a kind of fantasy on HN I usually get downvoted. People seem very committed to "shades of gray", moderate

A consumer watch dog that meticulously tracks equivalents to combat this would be an interesting project.

This is true. Here’s a cautionary tale to that end. My org’s IT recently introduced, without input, an ai filtering tool to automatically filter junk email. It apparently worked too well. In an ironic twist of fate, it filtered a raft of em

Yes, and it’s trivial to form one! If you look up the documentation necessary you may not believe your eyes.

Given that I just read this comment after getting off a connecting flight that had me waiting on a fully boarded plane in 100 degree Phoenix weather for half an hour, it’s pretty poignant. I read an article earlier today about how Phoenix m

I think people miss this because these companies exist in a space that is new in tech, and that means lots of competition through PR and marketing. When that happens, it’s easy to feel like a company is telling you about everything they’ve

They want it to equal identity verification! When virtually every top tech executive who wants a favor is at the inauguration and you have companies doing 180 degrees on support for something they previously furiously opposed, someone is ge

And C) they don't always have to be at parity with human hands to be good enough because humans are flat out expensive. Humans need health accommodations, have sick days, vacation, and make mistakes too. The bar is much lower and the i

Before LLMs, learning on the job looked like reading documentation. Now it’s a guided tour with verification. When I produce things in this way, I’m not just blindly accepting it. The goal is that by the end of it I have learned more about

Oh joy. A model whose safeguards make it prone towards code that make your systems less safe. How brilliant!

Yes, and "in collaboration with the U.S. Government" feels like a very gross ploy at appeal to authority. You don't need Mythos or really any SotA frontier model to make malware or do extensive penetration testing/reconn

I don’t think you’re going to find a consensus on this because it really just comes down to the quality of the employees in each discipline. Actions speak louder than words. I’ve seen the IT people GP is describing. I’ve also seen yours. In

Those numbers are bullshit. The bottom of a grown woman’s cycle is around 100 pg/ml. I have no idea where they’re getting those numbers but I assure you they’re wrong, and even if they were remotely correct about E levels being close t
