The cringe part is when a real CEO says that in a speech.

Is there something similar to this that includes melody composition that's not tied to a scale? My son has been composing music for a couple years in Chrome Music Labs and he's definitely outgrown it, but I can't find anythin

What about all the new unemployed lawyers and bureaucrats that feed on the broken American system?

Emily Wilson's translation is way better, more modern and adequate to present-day readers and, probably more context aware.

Is it me or this is one of the worst and knowingly less informed articles that has hit HN in a while?

Hallucinates on the first question I ask, as 90% of these models that try to take shortcuts.

it's one of my favourite interviews questions and very few people get it right.

Such an old problem solved very elegantly. Congrats. Remember the days of MySQL Workbench and how clunky it was.

A good way to think about it is finding how much it'd cost to buy and run a GPU that runs a model at around 100tk/s ("thinking" agents are not viable otherwise). The figure mentioned in the video is not far off

Pandoc is such an amazing piece of software. I used it to format my novel and made it part of a GitHub action to produce all the formats I required. I wasn't aware of templates, but some look really sleek. I keep thinking that modern t

I don't think we're in the early ages... LLMs technology has essentially stagnated since GPT3.5, we just have bigger models that can handle more context. We're trying to cope for the lack of progress of the actual technology

Writing your own storage is a great way to understand how databases work (if you do it efficiently, keeping indexes, correct data structures, etc.) and to come to the conclusion that if your intention wasn't just tinkering, you should&

I LOVE this, but I am still love the Sunday night family bonding moment of planning the week in the pen and paper weekly planner that also costs us $10 a year.

Didn't know about Grokipedia, I've just opened an article in it about Spain, scrolled to a random paragraph, and the information in it is plain wrong: From https://grokipedia.com/page/Spain#terrain-and-landfor

I didn't know about Tansu and probably would not use it for anything too serious (yet!). Bus as a firm believer of event sourcing and change of paradigm that Kafka brings this is certainly interesting for small projects.

Just that all of those activities you mention feel like a useless life compared to spending time with your own children in a house big enough for everyone to have their space, but small enough to force you to feel you're living with ea

There's no more proof that any Venezuelan election's results has been tampered with than with any US election. The state of Venezuela's state is sad, and so is the fact that millions of people have felt forced to flee the cou

I really enjoy using text.npr.org from my Kindle / Kindle Scribe. I'm really thinking about setting up a self-hosted RSS aggregator site that's Kindle-friendly.

I developed a big chunk of my Scumm games decompiler in London's central line. I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to go far enough each day to always hand an empty seat and enjoy 30 minutes of me time each way. All on a Chromebook with cr

It's the same hunch we all have when we think we're going to learn something by watching tutorials. We learn by struggling.

I think you hit the nail in the head there. There's absolutely nothing we can do with AI that we can't do without it. And the level of understanding of a large codebase that a solid group of engineers has is paramount to moving fa

And most importantly, we're paying with our brain and skills degradation. Once all these services stop being subsidised there will be a massive amount of programmers who no longer can code.

Also, the way models are evolving (thinking process, llms waiting for interactions with external entities via MCP, mixture of experts, ...) are making "useful chatbot responses" way way way more expensive than they used to be when

Tried it a few times, and I feel I'm paying to become a worse developer for a maybe 30% speed increase in total.

I still think that fountain pens are the pinnacle of writing stationery. One lasts generations and there's no consumables that need recycling or disposing of, if you use a rechargeable cartridge and buy ink bottles.
