Comparison is the thief of joy. I remember when I first got a 1080p display, comparing it to my previous 480p one the difference was amazing, but before I got the 1080p display I had no problem with my old one. All that to say.. what's

In gemini I have the following personal context: - Do not stroke my ego - I never want to be complimented And it disagrees with me a lot, granted this is in the webchat which I don't use for programming but for general usage seems to w

Not only requires you to log in, asks you your username once you do log in, which means for me I can't log in because I had a random username and there is no email from them where it is mentioned

A non programmer can iterate on an idea just as well as a programmer. First guy I mentioned spent a month tinkering, testing what he could, getting a basic high level understanding of the problem space to understand why his prompts didn&#x2

I've met at least one person that has gone pretty far on a somewhat complicated project who has literally zero programming experience. he did it for fun. I also know someone that thought about making a SaaS for his specific niche he wo

the better AI becomes the more non-programmers will be able to use it to build apps, and because they don't know how to program themselves they will use FAR more tokens than us to achieve the same thing. As long as AI is good enough

My skill consisted in knowing what's possible and a testing strategy (compare frame by frame to the other filter until broken filter got fixed).

> it ends if we decide not to keep telling it That's wishful thinking, what are you saying, labs/people across the world will selflessly decide they're not going to pursue further research if we on HN stop saying it?

idk if it's really worsening, someone who has the same issue can apply the patch. I understand why they rejected it but also I'm not willing to learn everything that DS4 did there since I don't plan on working on ffmpeg filte

I used to do this too, but I learned that will give you inconsistent dosage as the pills aren't guaranteed to have the active ingredient spread uniformly.

I don't think inference is subsidized, it's the training. So what happens is, there's no new models anymore or are released slower.

wow, did not expect blender to be 32 years old, thanks for correcting me. but still, they were open sourced about 1 year apart. I still think having a bigger user base is a good reason for the difference

Unlees you invest thousands your local ai won't even come close to the cheap cloud llms. Local is only worth it if you care about privacy or have a legitimate usage for the hardware otherwise. Money wise it isn't worth it

since pi is built to modify itself, isn't it better to use a language like typescript where LLMs have a LOT of training data? a harness doesn't do any computations by itself so what benefit is using a compiled language?

by jack_pp 2mo ago
yes, this is basically experimental tech, if used with open source harnesses. if used with proprietary harnesses, treat as actual malware.

there is enough corruption and evil in politics for me to just refuse to play the game, even the game you suggest of choosing the least evil of two clearly evil options. If you try to play that game your mind gets hijacked like all the poli

I, personally, have no power to allow or disallow corruption in any way shape or form. Shouting on the internet is not disallowing corruption. The non-corrupt politicians you speak of have little to no power and influence so are mostly irre
