In short, another AI-generated slop project. I've seen this exact UI style a dozen times now and it's always accompanied with tell-tale overly verbose, overly dramatic text.

Tip: identify PRs with this problem by looking for discrepancies between the metadata (files/lines affected) for PRs via GitHub API and associated commits in the time window. This was a pain to clean up!

The 8% and 50% numbers are pretty concerning, but I’d add that was for the “computer use environment” which still seems to be an emerging use case. The coding environment is at a much more reassuring 0.0% (with extended thinking). Edit: who

I didn’t even click the link, just read the top two comments and closed the page before realizing what I had done.

After being acquired by ServiceNow in 2021 for $510M and being rebranded to ServiceNow Cloud Observability, Lightstep is now being sunsetted with minimal fanfare.

I can, I’ve written a billing system before (unfortunately). There’s a lot of annoying math/edge cases and systems to sync between. While I never implemented a restriction like this, it would have prevented a lot of weird bugs/cus

Top multimodal models have about 200-1000 tokens per image, so the math works out.

My experience from working in the security space is that all the tech is pretty un-sexy (with very good sales pitches), and none of it will save you from a nation-state attacker.

Be sure to check out the mentioned catalog. [1] The NSA's capabilities back in 2008 were pretty astonishing: "RAGEMASTER" A $30 device that taps a VGA cable and transmits the contents of your screen to the NSA van sitting out

What gives you confidence that this is a bot account and not a frequent reader of HN that is passionate about growing the number of unique topics discussed here? And what’s up with the strong, inflammatory language?

Wow, only 256 tokens per frame? I guess a picture isn’t worth a thousand words, just ~192.

Designing fonts for languages that use Chinese characters is often challenging due to the sheer number of glyphs. This approach to generating fonts is very interesting… feels like it could unlock the creation of heavily stylized fonts that

Prediction: There will soon be a lot more VR “content” available with the proliferation of VR-capable recording devices. This could be a big push towards making the metaverse more compelling.

Hrm, true, no one’s ever gotten fluent in a language just by reading a textbook.

Surely if any IC would be in the know, it would be an L9.

Oof, that’s a little too relatable. I’ve spent the better part of a decade recovering from that. It has very much colored who I am today but I do my best to not allow it to define me.

Once upon a time, all of that would have been managed on just pen and paper, calculated by humans instead of machines!

Huh, how big does your website have to be in order for your bugs to be patched this way?

It’s true, but new characters are very “expensive”, even in the free currency. I have an embarrassing number of hours in league (4 digits) and do not have all the characters unlocked. Compare to Dota where I had every character unlocked at

I’m glad to see a shift in sentiments from Germany about nuclear power [0]. There have been warnings about energy dependence on Russia for years [1], maybe not long enough to spin up more nuclear plants but certainly enough time to make goo

No need to qualify your statement, as a native speaker myself I can confirm your assessment is 100% on point.

That’s funny, there’s actually been an intentional shift among “email thought leaders” towards shorter, plain-text emails because they can come across as more personal in today’s world of high-powered CRMs.

It’s not always easy to migrate identities, especially if your identity has built up reputation or trust in a community.

They’re pretty clear that this is not the case. However, that doesn’t stop our imaginations going wild as per the GP’s point. It’s impressive how good these bots are compared to the state of the art 10 years ago. https://help.rep

This is already a real issue with many existing public chatbots. Take r/replika for example, they’re constantly getting posts from users who think their chatbot partner is real. It’s the first question in their FAQ. The mods keep needi

I’m not at all qualified here, but it sounds like autorotation might not be involved in crashes because when autorotation works, there is no crash :P
