The most optimistic outcome of generative AI leaves us with a technology that warps our perception of reality and crushes labor. The most pessimistic destroys all of humanity. Our CEOs not only insist we genuflect before these machines but

I’ve been on a SSRI for 5 years and not once have I thought about getting off of it. It literally saved my life. I remember a while life of depression and constant churn of recursive emotions destroying me. I’m worried that too many people

Actually, I’m a little worried by what this post demonstrates but not the logo or the use of the api. I’m worried that switching apps and screenshots _doesn’t_ put the logo in. If the point of the switch is privacy, isn’t that a bug? Should

Wild to have worked in the industry long enough that 16 years doesn’t feel that long ago.

Parts of the world are literally on fire but the US is redirecting money to halt renewables and towards gas. The demand for energy is higher than ever due to AI data centers, but I guess the next model is more important than a habitable env

Must… Build… More… Datacenters… But seriously, hacker news routinely denies the obvious when it comes to climate crisis.

I’m sure if we build a few more AI data centers the world will cool down and we’ll stop having all these fires. Just a few more GPUs ought to fix it.

Yes, atmospheric rivers all winter. Next year a super bloom then the following year massive wild fires. rain -> fuel -> fire

I believe it’s mostly due to closeness to the work and actually turning the problem over in my mind. When I use an LLM to code much of the context is lost and my understanding of the solution is diminished. The longer I use it in a code bas

The issue would be that LLMs seem to not improve senior devs productivity. In which case what you are saying is “we shouldn’t use LLMs” Which I happen to agree with.

by chewbacha 2mo ago
Big caveat to the productivity claim is that it’s concentrated in lesser experienced engineers and vanishes or goes negative with highly experienced engineers. This intuitively makes sense and generally agrees with my experience. LLMs move

Pretty that’s just not true. Sodium ion batteries are less energy dense than lithium ion and are not prone to dendrite formation. They are also more thermally stable and less likely to do thermal run away reactions. Also, since they are les

This sounds like Claude apologizing for making a CRM. What actually happened???

by chewbacha 3mo ago
I did this for two weeks on a side project and still ended up in a situation where I did not have a mental model of the codebase. There’s no way build that model without building it yourself. I’m more convinced then ever of this.

Looks like AI slop marketing, feels like a scam.

Would not surprise me if Anthropic wanted this to avoid the inference costs of running the latest frontier models. It also is a good PR for them because it continues to doomer hype loop that’s boosting them.

Crypto investors are migrated to the newest unregulated speculative asset: the stock market. I don’t know for certain but the amount of retail investing on vibes around AI companies and metals feels just like the crypto peaks. Just the othe

My best guess is that Gemini was trained on the textbooks that the questions are meant to test against, thus they are probably better at explicit recall of those questions or related questions. This is a pretty limited introductory course b

Actually, yea, I do a lot of mental calculations to avoid losing my edge on thinking about numbers. I avoid gps navigators for similar reasons. But the analogy doesn’t actually hold up anyhow because the calculator and the navigator are det

Mandates are becoming normal. Most devs don’t seem to want to but they want to keep their jobs.
