First off, cool project! It's always great to see derivatives that question the efficiency of the established product. I think the main thing the readme is missing is the core benefits. Reducing LOC and dependencies is cool, but it wou

I hear that 100% of code at Anthropic is coded by Claude, so this was caused by Claude. And also, no one but Claude can fix Claude

There are different kinds of addiction. The difference is physical vs. mental. The best example of this is heroin, which has both a severe physical and mental addiction component, and it's the mental addiction that makes relapse so com

How old is your child? Younger than 6-8 it's easy to monitor what they're watching and enforce limits. By age 9-10 it isn't just about what they access in the home. Many schools in America are giving kids computer and tablet

This. Also, technology is ever changing, and expecting parents to constantly keep up with feature rollouts on these platforms is unrealistic. Personal responsibility IS important, but we also don't allow cigarette companies to advertis

Short form video is a different beast altogether, and much more concerning. The fact that these platforms don't offer a way to avoid short form altogether is a big issue. YouTube allows you to "show fewer shorts" but what if

"I try to understand things as much as I can while planning, even if I’m unfamiliar with the specific technology. If I manage to steer the LLM well, it saves a lot of trouble later on." This is the most important part of the artic

Which functions? which projects? If you have 10,000 talented engineers and you're choosing to reduce headcount it's because you don't know how to attack the business and drive revenue in a significant way.

If you're only interested in the gist of the concept and how it can be applied to compression, without the mathematical rigor, here is my go to: https://bertolami.com/index.php?engine=blog&content=posts&de...

This looks cool and could be a much needed step towards fixing the web. Some questions: [Tech] 1. How deep does the modification go? If I request a tweek to the YouTube homepage, do I need to re-specify or reload the tweek to have it persis

This. Amazon buyer metrics have been tanking for a while. In general if I don't care about the quality I have better and cheaper places to shop. When I know the brand I want, and want predictable quality, I order from the company direc

A good move, even if many years late. It's a bilateral trustbuster when the same platform that allows commingling and knockoffs then begins tagging legit items as "frequently returned" in the feed. Can we also get the ability

The TL;DR is that the value of renting vs. buying has a lot to do with being realistic and understanding real estate and investments in general. Buying a house is often an emotionally motivated decision with many important risk factors... W

The problem is that our thoughts, opinions, and ultimately actions are the product of our exposure. Social media gives a small number of companies (and their algorithms) unparalleled and unchecked control over our exposure. We should be edu

The best engineers are all three, and can turn up or down these tendencies depending on what's required for the project, business, or personal goals. These should not be fixed in proportion over time, as they are each useful in differe

An interesting debate! A few things to consider: 1. This is one example. How many other attempts did the person try that failed to be useful, accurate, coherent? The author is an OpenAI employee IIUC, so it begs this question. Sora's d

I've used all of the popular coding agents, including Jules. The reality to me is that they can and should be used for certain kinds of low severity and low complexity tasks (documentation, writing tests, etc.). They should not be used

I don't think this generalization is quite fair. I'm sure this is true for some folks and their social circles, but for those of us who engineer and know our way around a Home Depot, the capacity is a game changer. I used to have

If you're focused solely on local network streaming, you can throw most of the features of modern codecs out the window. The trade-off is bandwidth, but if the network can support 100 Mbps, you can get remarkably low latency with relat

The article captures the two agendas at work. The reality is somewhat dependent on your situation. If you understand _how_ you should be using AI in engineering, then AI can speed you up because you know what you're trying to build, yo

The reactive ingredient is passion, not the learning modality. Low motivation is really limiting, no matter how you like to learn. Of course, this topic is hard to discuss in a quantitative way because the number of engineers you come acros

The issue, unfortunately, is that society has failed to recognize the real dangers of social technologies (social media, social AI, perhaps AI in general). 30 years from now if we're lucky, we'll be watching senate hearings with A

This post isn't (really) about AI, it's a political rant masquerading as a tech post with oversimplifications of politics, economic systems, and AI. It's an entertaining enough read, but I'm not sure why it's on HN.

If I allegedly train off of your training, which was trained off of copyrighted content under fair use, we're good right? Just asking for a friend who's into this sort of thing.

I don't know, I think the point of the example is one of transparent engineering. VHS players could break for any number of reasons but the manufacturers used to put in effort to make them repairable. Obviously a much simpler piece of
