There are diminishing returns, especially for more mundane tasks. Fable is nice, and I bet Sol is also nice. But there really isn't much of a difference right now when using something beyond Opus or presumably Terra for most things. Th

Yeah, not only the name: they’re also going with various semiotic signs that are strongly associated with a subscription service, including their website design, choice of typography, and even the press release–style copy. Looks like they h

You can introduce a social/trust element to it, something like: Join our Discord, chat to us, come to our "office hours" video calls first, then you get to contribute. Maybe also limit the size/scope of external contribu

This is not a regular code review of new code. The original code still exists, and is sitting side by side, just in a different language. You'd be just looking at both files, side by side, to make sure nothing was lost in translation o

A bit sad to see this. Of course they are free to do it the way they prefer, and there are successful projects like this (Notably SQLite) but there has to be a reasonable middle ground between "everyone can just flood us with 30,000-li

It's not impossible, or even that hard to review the entire rewritten codebase. 10 engineers each reviewing 5,000 LoC a day for 20 days can do it. And that is being highly conservative with the estimate. A good chunk of the the code is

To get to the point where these artificial gates substantially matter for interop, you've already cleared 99% of the hurdles, and you can get away with just spoofing the User Agent string most of the time. Widevine is legitimately a “g

This seems like a very reasonable system to ensure e.g. you and your classmate/friends can still interact as you grow up and switch age brackets. I wonder how families etc deal with it though? Can you play with your younger sibling&#x2

You don't need exclusive, 24h access, so people can pool, share or rent the hardware. Solar energy is also now cheap enough that it likely won't really be a problem.

Given how fast the Open Source models have been able to catch up their closed-source counterparts, I think at least on the model/software side this will be a non-issue. The hardware situation is a bit grimmer, especially with the recen

Looks good. A minor piece of feedback, though: might be just me, not sure if anyone else has this pavlovian conditioning, but seeing the black banner/bar on top with the YC logo/color below and HN background color immediately make

Just to clarify the meaning of the measurement, it doesn't mean they're 98% interoperable across everything, it's across the specific set of goals for 2025. (Which is still really good!) I think they realized that shipping th

Games are super large nowadays. IIRC Steam uses P2P for the update downloads, so you should be able to saturate whatever link you have, and the SSD should be substantially faster than 1Gbps. So anyone that has a > 1Gbps internet connecti

Very weird USB-C port placement choices... - 2 USB3-A on the front - 2 USB2-A on the back - 1 USB-C on the back If you want to plug an external USB hard drive or SSD at full speed, you'll need to plug it at the front? Or use up the onl

These remind me of the Elliptic Curve pieces from another post on the HN front page right now ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44315321 ) I wonder if the poster was inspired by that one to also post these here? Anyway,

This is perhaps why it took us this long to get to LLMs, the underlying math and ideas were (mostly) there, and even if the Transformer as an architecture wasn't ready yet, it wouldn't surprise me if throwing sufficient data/

Is the LLM essentially playing "Wordle" with an external system that rates the quality of its output, gradually climbing the score ladder until it produces good results?

If your hobby project consumes libraries which are not already locally available on your machine, this same restriction would also apply when using gcc/make/vim. (e.g. say you want to use zlib, you'll need the zlib-devel pack
