For this I'd need to be any good at mathematics.

There are two VOs by Matt berry during the video. There’s more than one voice.

I am utterly fascinated by the amount of comments here from engineers that clearly have zero experience with mathematics making utter fool of themselves by claiming to know better than mathematicians what their jargon is/means, how pub

Ok but why are you comparing different Claude sessions then? Of course they’re different, they have different experiences. Just because they have the same “name” doesn’t make them the same persona. Compare a single session. It’ll be extreme

Unmistakably so.

Your coworkers are if anything less reliably deterministic than an AI. And the human version of a prompt injection is called social engineering and it’s far more of an issue than actual prompt injection and has been for an extremely long ti

It may have been when you noticed it but it wasn’t the spark. If there was an actual spark, it was the 2016 election as this was the first time when all the disinformation, professional troll farms and Russian influence truly came into play

I want a pair of earphones that are as comfortable as the AirPods Pro but have a very solid mic quality. Whenever I have a call on my AirPods I feel terrible for whoever’s on the other end of my call because the quality is so bad, even when

Not unless you are anthropic/openai, or run your own models.

Ah yes. It's always the ones you most expect who come up with these retorts.

Your HN comment is not useful. If you think it is, then you're suffering from HN psychosis.

I know this is a popular position and it makes sense at face value when you think of LLMs as autocomplete systems. But it’s genuinely wrong. Relevant reading is most notably anthropic’s research on the J-space. LLMs will plan ahead of time

Given that gp says “my” Estonian card, you can assume it’s because they have one and don’t have one of your country of choice.

HN is not one of the most pro AI spaces. It may be a bit more pro ai than highly secluded communities but the other day I had people responding to me that it’s cooler to be an alcoholic than to use AI. There is a wide reaching anti AI/

The infrastructure you just described is absolutely buildable today if you’re willing to burn tokens.

If we manage to get to AGI and it looks, works and behaves like a human brain... I mean, cool, but that's a very useless AGI compared to the incredible stuff we have access to today. The HN crowd I'm sure will still be unhappy cal

I was sharing the EIC backed ones, but it's fair that in a datacenter it's more likely to be Axelera (or vsora/semidynamics if you start digging into earlier-stage competitors). Nvidia is the only American company selling AI

Or, it's a signal that you're not giving your data/money to an untrusted ally. Do you even understand just how much Europe distrusts the US with its current administration at this point? Nobody wants to deal with US companies

Except that no, it doesn't churn "clones"; MVC is quite a serious company and working on far more interesting stuff than whatever shit the SaaS or ads company you're statistically likely working at is. EIC churns out Dee

This isn’t how it works. You don’t just get eu funding because you say “yay go EU we’re European”.

Just because you haven’t heard of them and they’re not American doesn’t mean they’re hot air. I got the privilege to meet their CEO in Paris as they were announcing their partnership with Axelera and we exchanged some stories. They are full

Unfortunately, anti-AI sentiment on HN is for some people so ridiculously pronounced, that you can get them to say the most insane stuff. I had a couple of people the other day responding to a sarcastic comment, agreeing that being an alcoh

I guess alcoholism is cooler than using AI to do things nowadays, is that your stance?

Scratching my head a little bit here, I'm not sure how this differs from NextJS (or Vite) with a layer of drizzle & better-auth. Not that that layer isn't important. We ended up building something like this at Ingram, nextkit:

The thing is I don’t see you asking that same question to the other Americans in the comment section here making stupid claims, with clearly zero clue on how the EU actually functions. So my question is: why? Why does this comment in partic

“So people sending requests to my web server is fine, but when I send ten thousand requests per second to other people’s web servers suddenly they call it a DDoS! Very unfair.”

Germany isn’t exactly great at startups, it’s one of the worst countries in europe to create and scale one. Helsing is doing great in spite of that ecosystem, and thanks to good timing and current geopolitics. That itself does not reflect o

SAP isn’t a company to be crazy proud of, but it doesn’t make it not a success nor does it mean “EU is fucked”. May I remind you that in the US, Facebook is in that same list of top successes? Have you ever heard the phrase “the top minds o

I don’t think it’s necessarily the “I can also make a robot do that”. Things are useful regardless of who made them. It’s the lack of care that comes with the obvious tell that a comment such as the one above, is not genuine. Are you reall
