My agent / skill files always tell it to trust neither the code or the test and to reason about the test failure which seems to work pretty well. In another project without my rules I’ve noticed I have to tell it to set up data for pla

If I was building this in a system design interview I would use whisper, NLP, and “classic ML” classifiers with deterministic results. I would not want an LLM in the loop at all. Facebook and Google have been able to target you better than

Fair. Didn’t think the DoW did much R&D or manufacturing. Would think the standoff would be with Anduril, Northrop, Boeing, Booze, etc.

Genuine question, how could Claude have been used for the military action in Venezuela and how could ChatGPT be used for autonomous weapons? Are they arguing about staffers being able to use an LLM to write an email or translate from Arabic

I saw this on Reddit last night. I shared the results of this prompt with my cofounder, he replied in kind. I thought this was an interesting concept. It feels a little dystopian in a corporate context but much less so in an early stage sta

I feel the same way often but I find it to be very similar to coding. Whether coding or prompting when I’m doing rote, boring work I find it tedious. When I am solving a hard problem or designing something interesting I am engaged. My app i

I agree with you in spirit but most people in the US look at college like job training. It’s literally advertised as job training on TV, buses and billboards. Teachers, parents, and media have long been seen as “the way” to get a job. One o

Doesn’t this imply that a transformer or NN could fill in details more efficiently than traditional techniques? I’m really curious why this would be preferable for a AAA studio game outside of potential cost savings. Also imagine it’d come

I generated a script today to diff 2 CSVs into a Venn diagram, ran it twice, then deleted the code.

Here’s something WiLd and crazy — “in town” or “in range” delivery used to be free in major urban areas, and you’d tip the delivery driver $2-5.

Snowflake does revenue sharing, it’s possible that AI providers can start doing that too.

Totally makes sense! Thanks for the thoughtful answer. > ETA: we are looking for evolutionary biologists. Not many entrepreneurial personalities here, more like a lot of bird watchers In this case I’m sure that I’d be tempted to come to

I see your point and it is similar when you consider a profitable company but think it is different from startup equity because you are raising capital you’re assigning a speculative dollar amount to build the business.

Gotcha! I did a 2 second google to illustrate what I was trying to ask in my original question about someone trying to recruit researchers. I did a ChatGPT query to see what my hypothetical would be and it quoted ~$44,880 USD, not taking it

Thanks for that! I’ve not heard of the Draghi report. https://commission.europa.eu/topics/eu-competitiveness/dragh...

The problem is that the wealth tax is based on your assets. 51% ownership of your $10M early stage startup is $5.1M in wealth, not a liquid asset. Nevertheless, you will owe $51k/yr to the Norwegian government. If you raise a second ro

How do you think that Norway’s wealth tax could impact its ability to draw talent from any other country? Knowing that, should you develop anything (drug, material, etc) and want to spin it out to a startup, you will be taxed on the unreali

Will what OpenAI & others serve as precedent for Alexandra Elbakyan of SciHub and avenge Aaron? Cynically, I imagine it will not but I hope that it could.

Same thing happens in the US too —- at least in the north east. If you go to New York, northern New Jersey, Boston or even Chicago, people in their 40s and younger don’t often sound like their parents; there’s little to no accent. I work wi

How do you get a Firefox window to float on top like the iPhone preview window does?

I use it for a floating window for watching videos & for sending SMS. It’s nice but I forget about it pretty often.

I assumed it was a safe place to live in the year 1300 through the 1800s when Napoleon was romping through Italy on through to the 1940s.

That’s called RAG, and it still doesn’t work as well as you might imagine.

I don’t think the issue lies in using the same language to write the client & server. IME projects become brittle & hard to refactor when you use a full stack framework because you wind up writing a ton of controller code or a spraw

Most everyone I’ve encountered in my personal life has been introduced to Eastern beliefs through some western reinterpretation or a “guru”. I’d read someone, somewhere (maybe here), write about their pilgrimage to somewhere in Asia. He was

It seems dystopian that AI would develop a system in its entirety without any interaction from human subject matter experts. We already bemoan the black-box enforcement algorithms Meta, Alphabet and the like now; HN flips when someone is ba

What about an Apple TV-like set top box? Maybe an ASOP based replacement for Android TV ala graphine.

That might be specific to your hearing aids. With AirPods I only click once to connect on my MacBook and once to change the output back on whatever app I’ve been listening to on my phone (phone stays connected, laptop disconnects). I think
