I think they mean there was a greater variation in reluctance than might be expected, or that there was some serious arm-twisting to get people to go along, which had future consequences.

We use structured output and To my knowledge it has never failed (millions of data points). There seem to be two classes of people: those doing productive work with LLMs, and those who only get replies insulting their mothers…

They’re nondeterministic at a fine level, but can be “deterministic” at a more general level: e.g. you might know that one model will always return properly formatted json when asked. That might not be true of the replacement, even if it is

Yeah, velocity definitely jumped out at me as a difference, but it seems(?) like being velocity-sensitive could 2x the cost, maybe even 3x, but not 10x ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm absolutely not calling it over-priced, just puzzled.

It's just an oversight that they haven't started manufacturing Brawndo, the Thirst Mutilator.

Any idea why something like this costs $5,000? It seems like manufacturing costs would justify 1/10th of that maybe? Disclaimer: I'm not a hardware manufacturer nor retailer, I'm just going off what regular typing keyboards g

To all those claiming it makes no sense that Apple wouldn't foresee this, think about the lower demand than Apple expected for the Apple Vision and the iPhone Air. If they can get caught off guard by low sales, they can get caught off

I came to post the gnomes, you posted the gnomes. As you say, HN isn't that kind of site, but you have my upvote.

I know the globe is unintuitive (it still blows my mind that Muslims in New York City face roughly northeast to point toward Mecca) but it still seems bizarre that the water route can start near the arctic circle, cross the Pacific ocean, n

Then fix that. This administration is eager to point out problems and propose "just don't do that" as a solution. The problem is that to them, pretty much everything is a problem, so they're proposing we do nothing.

"There's no step three!" -- I can hear his voice in my head. But the Goldblum phrase I really try to keep alive is thinking jail, as in "What is beige? It's not even a color. Were they in thinking jail?" I oft

silly question from someone who's never played fps: how do you get the camera to face the way the player is moving? For me the camera is always facing the same way, so if the player is walking toward the camera I can only see behind hi

No matter how absurd the situation becomes, no matter how engaging the videos are, we should never be fooled into thinking Iran are the good guys. This is an unfortunate, ill-conceived war, but that doesn't clean Iran's hands.

>I find this kind of searching of citizens to be pretty crazy Agreed, and my original point: the issue is the search, not the charge being related to digital or physical information.

I'm a product manager. We work with Claude Code all the time, so I'm in Terminal pretty regularly. One of the developers insisted that I need to use his flavor of shell. He set it up to load automatically whenever I run Terminal,

I read a pretty compelling argument by a lawyer that we're looking at this the wrong way. (I Am Not A Lawyer) Their point was that if the law is knocking on your door to legally search your house, and you have records of your criminal

It's a machine that has custom medallions in it, typically themed to the location. All but one that I've seen have been aluminum. You pay in, then you have an arm that you can spin around an alphabet to select a letter. Then you p

I'm much more interested in the metal typer(?) -- machines that have a custom medallion in them and you get to stamp a message into their circumference letter by letter. Is there any map that lists those?

I find my memory is very selective. I wanted to get in touch with a coworker from five years ago: I had to look up his name on linkedin. My wife texted me "Hotlips died" and with no effort I texted back, "Oh no, Loretta Swit
