This is like when cryptocurrency was in full hype cycle, but even more severe as it touches every inch of the industry.

Seems a bit silly (especially given how easy LLM's make building such an accessory)

I'm afraid I am addicted to short-form video and wish I could go back to spending more of my free-time reading books.

I wonder if someone educated in this could provide the neurological benefits of reading, outside of communication. They are numerous, are they not? Memory, neuroplasticity, focus, stress relief—I'm sure there are many other benefits to

Asking customers to pay anything prior to purchase is a non-starter... Imagine a brick-and-mortar shoe store asking customers to pay an entry fee to shop before customers enter the door?

That's just going to be a really different from the shopping experience customer's are used to today, and I don't think customers would go for it. I know for at company asking customers to pay for the shopping experience woul

Some of the agents out there today can bypass Cloudflare's CAPTCHA challenges.

As I understand it as models driving agent behavior of headless browsers are getting more and more sophisticated it's getting harder to reliably predict. The same way LLM's without watermarking cannot be reliably classified as &qu

This doesn't seem to solve the issue that website operators face... which is providing a free public experience to humans while the price of hosting is driven up by increased bot traffic. The issue isn't charging for API access wi

I missed the sarcasm at first. This is how people think... as Ebola spreads through central and eastern Africa. Why should we care?

I don't hate AI. What I hate is while billionaires are promising us a utopian future where work is optional, the price of food, housing, and healthcare in the USA is through the roof. Many people my age (millennials) cannot afford to b

At the same time they are enacting another round of massive layoffs. Why does this company deserve tax-breaks on their AI data-centers again?
15.
by cphoover 4mo ago
100% agree. There's no substance to the argument, just the same cultish rhetoric from the aristocracy trying to fleece us into thinking that, while they simultaneously push mass layoffs and aim to drive down the price of labor, they ar

Jedberg... Wow an internet legend replied to me! >< > I'm much more worried about people who give full write access to their agents! But at least this solves that problem. Yeah it goes without saying that write access would be

How many people are giving an LLM Agent full read access to their production data? That seems nuts to me.

They do that and open source projects that haven't left already will migrate.

AI Datacenters are not how all or probably even most HNers get paid... > Most data centers colo multiple types of compute, not just those dedicated to inference or model training. Additonally, strangling the economics of the infrastructu

I think language grammars are the an interesting way to define a ruleset too. Forget REST API's or MCP Servers for a second... Define a domain specific language, and let the language model generate a valid instruction within the confin

Previously I made a chrome extension that removes them from web... But I haven't updated it in a while. Basically just inspects the HTML/CSS patterns of the shorts components and removes them from the page. You could probably code

I'm no expert but to me, what's particularly silly about "breaking encryption" is it does nothing to prevent using user agents from employing their own encryption layers over other messaging system like gpg/pgp or o

Isn’t that patch just converting inline strings to localized/internationalized strings?

God this comment thread is a series of unsubstantiated subjective opinions trashing languages that people don’t like and ignoring the faults of the languages they do…. Why must we rehash this type of post every few months?

Why isn’t there a distributed, decentralized or open index that all of these startups can utilize? I understand that these startups are all are focusing in on different problem areas, but doesn’t it make sense to have something like open st
