I'm in the process of evals for these tools after my org adopted them. My RTK findings are the same. It worsens task performance and overall you don't save money. I wanted to give the same treatment to other tools like ponytail an

I didn't realize this counted as smart. I think at best it's an LLM intelligence arb that may exist for a few months.

I'm not following the news. Why should we not upload pictures of family members to OpenAI? Are any other cloud providers safe?

I asked a current generation LLM to make me $1k a week and it hasn't so far.

To my horror, it kept the metaphor going on and off the whole article . Half way through, there is a section called "Three cars failed the crash test".

The poster's username is "ed-is-ai" so I don't know how unproven it is.

lol I wanted the joke to work, but unlike the fairphone thing, the use of intentional makes sense here.

I love the premise of the game. I mean ultimately what I think we need is a fighter between two Linux users, each representing their own operating system. Each OS can have its own power ups. Maybe that can be v2 :) good stuff!

You can sue whoever you want. But this reads of backpedaling and righteousness to me. The quote below are not my words, but are from a prior comment on HN, which I think are relevant. ``` I in no way mean this to be rude, but I think a big

I'm reviving my multi-player Snake game Snaketron. It's written in Rust and probably the most technically interesting thing about it is that it's built for auto scalable Cloud hosting. The websocket isn't tied to the hos

I guess that brings up the question of why do people use Codeberg in the first place. From what I understand, it's a decision based on values right rather than cost, functionality, or convenience. Well here you go, more values, enjoy!

Calling it model bias is as disingenuous as calling newspaper ads media bias.

After spending way too much time with Fable a few days ago, I noticed a new hallmark of AI generated text is using the word "honest" everywhere, in a somewhat self congratulating way. Some things that give it away to me: - "H

Without it you likely would have been in the same quagmire, but just slower? It could have taken you years to realize that "oh I'm just exploring stuff and have no output". Set an ambitious goal that is achievable using Claud

Thanks, that clears it up. The democracy thing was referring to other comments in this post.

Can someone please ELI5? I've heard much about it but still, with all the drama, I still don't get it. SKG is an initiative that will force game publishers to keep a game online, provided that people have paid for it, and the publ

From your post it's not clear that you understand how AWS charges. CloudWatch metrics would only validate your case if these were pay-per-use services like Lambdas or something. But you use the word "infrastructure" which imp

I don’t get the analogy because novel is supposed to be interesting. Code isn’t supposed to be interesting, it’s supposed to work. If you’re writing novel algorithms all day, then I get your point. But are you? Or have you ever delegated wo

The problem with React is that it solved frontend. So the options are to 1. Code React all day and be happy with it. 2. Come up with reasons why it's bad. There are many talented and intellectually curious people in the field which lea

At work, I have the same difficulty using AI as you. When working on deep Jiras that require a lot of domain knowledge, bespoke testing tools, but maybe just a few lines of actual code changes across a vast codebase, I have not been able to

The "pelicans on a bike" challenge is pretty wide spread now. Are we sure it's still not being trained on?
