Nope, not bored at all. I'm clicking on most HN AI threads out of sheer curiosity, eager to learn new techniques and see what folks are thinking or building. Given its transformative ripple effects, AI feels like the single biggest shi

I’m pleasantly surprised this was AI assisted so deeply that inconsistencies like that slipped by you. The writing is really extraordinary. It made me want to read for fun again for the first time in decades. Thank you!

Thanks for those links - these are the rules and norms I didn’t know before. Now that I see them, they seem pretty sensible overall. Some are of them are a bit quirky.

By all means! I’m not sure if Hacker News rules or norms permit us to talk here or not but I’ll at least respond here as a start: What about loyal agents would you like to talk about?

This discussion hits close to home. A few of us at Stanford and Consumer Reports have been working on a project called Loyal Agents (loyalagents.org ) that’s focused on the same core issue raised in the Economist article, namely how to make

Here’s what Claude Sonnet 4.5 suggested to take this piece from something that sounds impressive but lacks substance to something that could actually deliver on its promise. I did this thought exercise to explore whether being AI-generated

Based on the URL correlation and content, it sure appears to be the same book.

Not quite - as I understand it box-counting measures global space-filling, manifolds handle local coordinate structure. Consider that the Earth is locally flat but globally spherical, and a Möbius strip vs cylinder are locally identical but

Wow - I'd forgotten all about this but just realized I have posts from an entire phase of earlier professional life - topic by topic and event by event - on an old blog there. Amazingly the browser remembered my login so I was able to

This is a fun project to be sure. I just wish the author would not refer to the experiment as an "autonomous startup builder" unless they mean it humorously. Having poked around the GitHub repo and read through the materials, it

Ruv (of Claude Flow) seems to like the new Claude Agents a lot, and already is leveraging them in Claude Flow. He waxes positively on the topic here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/reuvencohen_spent-the-afterno...

One of the things that I found most frustrating about USB-C hubs is how hard it is to find one that actually gives you multiple USB-C ports. I have several USB-C devices but most hubs just give you one USB-C port and a bunch of USB-A ports.

That system would make a tidy startup, especially if tightly integrated with an open source office suite behind the scenes (LibreOffice, OpenOffice, etc) and a generative AI native UX.

Got it, thanks for clarifying! So if I’m understanding you right, you’re saying that all the generative stuff the LLM does—like creating text—basically becomes part of the ‘arguments’ the original post talks about, and then that gets paired

by dazzaji 1y ago
I’m still stuck on the first sentence "An LLM should never output anything but tool calls and their arguments” because it just doesn’t make sense to me. Tool calling is great, but LLMs are - and should be used as - more than just tool

> No one actually pays that price. The $1000 misrepresented in the article… With respect, that is absolutely incorrect. People absolutely pay over $1000 and do so monthly. For example, Kaiser of Northern California makes it very difficul

I was fortunate to get early access to the new Agent SDK and APIs that OpenAI dropped today and made an open source project to show some of the capabilities [1]. If you are using any of the other agent frameworks like LangGraph/LangCha

Here’s the conclusion of a much more refined initial review by Andrej Karpathy [1] which, I think overall, comports with the substance of my own hot take: “As far as a quick vibe check over ~2 hours this morning, Grok 3 + Thinking feels som

That sounds like very evocative prose. Would you be up for sharing some of that fiction? I haven’t tried Grok 3 for that purpose and now I’m curious.

It’s gracious of you to say that you’d be sorry, and I did run my comment through 4o (perhaps ironically) which caught a slew of typos and weird grammar issues and offered some improvements. But the robotic sound and anything else you don’t

I rely on ElevenReader several times a week for quick text to voice on snippets of text I’m working on or sometimes on full web pages when I hand it a url. It’s quick and easy to use and the performance and quality is high.
