It does; I play games backed by Easy Anti Cheat on a VM Windows running on Nix. It does require fiddling with the settings to make it look like you’re not in a VM, but completely doable.

Your game example is a great one: If a game didn’t come with its 3D models, sound, level files, game data, or assets of any kind, but its engine was open source, I don’t think anyone would say “hey this game is open source”. They’d say the

This absolutely should be a thing, but it'll have to be a per-community thing, them building their own dataset and creating their own evals (similar to how people do for production workloads). Although: "(idiomatic, etc.)" I

You’re running 48GB now but imagine a future where everyone has 512GB RAM or 1TB RAM in their computers (it might sound like a lot but also 20 years ago we had 512MB PCs). It’s not hard to imagine what 5-10 years of pressure to increase RAM

In the olden days, I enjoyed Opus 3 because it was easy to have it sound way more human than GPT. Nowadays, with the focus on agentic use and coding, it seems models have all been RLHF’d to death, it’s so incredibly hard to have them write

When people imagined AI/AGI, they imagined something that can reason like we can, except at the speed of a computer, which we always envisioned would lead to the singularity. In a short period of time, AI would be so far ahead of us an

"open source" has a specific definition[0], which this project does not meet. When people say "open source", that is the definition that they are referencing. It's the reason why there's been endless discussion

Yeah like I remember prior to reasoning models, their guidance was to use <think> tags to give models space for reasoning prior to an answer (incidentally, also the reason I didn't quite understand the fuss with reasoning models

I'm a dev, not a salesperson, but let's be realistic. A company tells you "yeah we're interested in signing at $1M/yr, but we really need this feature, when will you have it by?", to which saying "eh we do

I use this approach for a ticket based customer support agent. There are a bunch of boolean checks that the LLM must pass before its response is allowed through. Some are hard fails, others, like you brought up, are just a weighted ding to

I agree - and it's not just what gets you promoted, but also what gets you hired, and what people look for in general. You're looking for your first DevOps person, so you want someone who has experience doing DevOps. They'll

I've seen that in a few places, yeah! I think I personally would just put something in the footer and have a specific page for it that I can link people to. I really hope that I never end up in a situation where someone tells me "

I love the interview at the end of the video. The kubectl-inspired CLI, and the feedback for improvements from Claude, as well as the alerts/segmentation feedback. You could take those, make the tools better, and repeat the experience,

HN goes through hype cycles, I suppose. Remember when it was all about crypto and every conversation ended with "we could use blockchain" and we were all fed up? Remember when everyone was an Elon Musk fanboy and Tesla was going t

Others have already said it, but it needs to be said again: Good god, stop treating LLMs like oracles. LLMs are not encyclopedias. Give an LLM the context you want to explore, and it will do a fantastic job of telling you all about it. Give

Is it the AI industry or just VC in general? YC quite famously invests in founders, not ideas. Other accelerators are similar. They start with a pile of money and the vague notion of a startup idea. Usefulness comes later, after however man

No, I agree. This new version looks like someone using a cheap template with cheap gradients (I don’t know how else to describe the gradients), and it immediately makes it look less trustworthy.
