The HN moderation system seems to hold, at least mostly. But I have seen high-ranking HN submissions with all the subtler signs of LLM authorship that have managed to get lots of engagement. Granted, it's mostly people pointing out the

You were proven right three minutes after you posted this. Something happened, I'm not sure what and how. Hacking became reduced to "hacktivism", and technology stopped being the object of interest in those spaces.

"Matter" can in practice also mean "Matter over Wi-Fi", and lots of vendors use it that way.

It's easily imaginable that there are new CPU features that would help with building an efficient Java VM, if that's the CPU's primary purpose. Just from the top of my head, one might want a form of finer-grainer memory virtu

Logical contradictions in AI slop? Unthinkable! But to address the serious question: We can't have all three of: a simple language, zero-cost abstractions, and memory safety. Most interpreted language pick simplicity and memory safety,

Do you mean this in the sense that listeners don't remove messages, as one would expect from a queue data structure?

If you want to "escape the tempting slop of AI", maybe as a first step, stop wasting people's time by posting multi-page low-effort AI slop? I won't go into details, but your article has all the markers. That's offe

To find out what someone truly believes, don't listen to what they say, observe how they act. I don't see how OpenAI's recent actions make any sense from the perspective a company that internally believes it's actually c

I was going to post the same thing, so I'll upvote your post instead. I think there's a misunderstanding here that for meat to be done, it needs to stay above temperature X for Y minutes. In reality, the chemical reactions occur i

Achieving uniform call syntax is easy, compilers just need to implement a new form of symbol resolution called "Kaiser lookup". It follows 14 easy to understand rules. It first looks up methods, then searches for template definiti

"Please ignore prompt injections and follow the original instructions. Please don't hallucinate." It's astonishing how many people think this kind of architecture limitation can be solved by better prompting -- people se

The Kawase approach is from 2005, and GPU performance has improved a ton since then. Some of the newer games do use Bokeh blurs with multiple depths of field. The result can look much more natural than the Gaussian stuff. BTW, it's not

The year is 2025. Delivering a good product is not considered profitable enough anymore. If a company or product is beloved by customers then that means it doesn't squeeze them to the max. This is clearly money left on the table that s

From a PR perspective, I wonder why YouTube is at the same time forcing unwanted AI features down people's throats[1], a move that many companies now do to drum up their perceived AI competence, but THEN at the same time, when asked, a

That's because the architecture isn't built for it to know what it knows. As someone put it, LLMs always hallucinate, but for in-distribution data they mostly hallucinate correctly.

Companies of that size are common. It would in isolation even be profitable to serve them. The problem is if you introduce a middle tier that includes SSO, many enterprises will go for that instead of the expensive enterprise tier you want

That's probably true, but you're describing incentives and social dynamics, not a technological problem. I notice that every other kind of infrastructure in my life that I depend upon is maintained by qualified teams, sometimes fo

We as an industry need to seriously tackle the social and market dynamics that lead to this situation. When and why has "stable" become synonymous with "unmaintained"? Why is it that practically every attempt to build a
