These articles and comments on them always seem to conflate programming with programming at one's job. And it makes sense, for most people that's one and the same. But if we're talking about programming and art, I think that

This and "Intellectual Fly Is Open" being at the top of the Hacker News front page right now and both having their titles auto-editorialized by HN really makes me wonder what benefit this mechanism is supposed to bring readers oth

I think it truly just was Opus 4.5 where LLMs became usable for coding.

Can an LLM be trained to understand language without remembering anything else from its training data? I thought the intrinsic knowledge and the ability to understand language were tied together.

I thought this was going to be an OS for actual dumbphones. Had me hoping I would have a reason to dig out my childhood Sony Ericsson W810.

I seriously doubt as a public servant she'd be a beacon of efficiency so I don't think she'll do more than 2k a day if this happens.

Reminds me of politicians and public figures saying they got "hacked" after doing/posting something stupid and getting backlash for it. I guess "AI did it" is the new iteration on that.

This post doesn't touch on something that makes parsers complicated no matter how simple the grammar: good error messages. Parsing a well formed input is the easy part, but not just spitting out a byte index but actually telling the us

I have been using macOS for I think fewer than ten years and I think the attention of detail may always have been just about the hardware... macOs and iOS have presented me with some of the clunkiest edge cases and mishandled situations and

This is a cool idea. I know I'd rather see this comment on every model release than the pelican.

I don't even need today's frontier, give me a local model I can run on my Mac comparable to Claude 4.5 as of December last year and I'll probably lose any interest in new hosted LLM advancements altogether.

The ingredients are: 1. Bun.Cron API to run a script every minute 2. Bun.$ (Bun Shell) to execute the macOS command to take a screenshot (I do this for all connected screens at that moment) 3. Bun.Image to downscale everything to 1x in case

I have a personal, fully offline and local version of Windows Recall basically, but good, made using macOS built-in OCR and LLM. The reasoning requirements are tiny (just interpret the screen based on the OCR, do rolling de-duplication and

If you're on macOS you can try the built in LLM which I think is similar in size. There's a project called Apfel that wraps it in a CLI. Also Chrome ships with a web API called Prompt API that gives you offline access to Gemini Na

I think Last.fm might have been a better friend finding and dating app than any of its contemporaries or anything that came after. Seems like everyone in this thread or anyone I know IRL has a story of making a good connection with someone

I just keep repeating "operator" ad nauseam not stopping for anything other than the sound of the call transferring and that almost always works.

There is basically no support to speak of. Scaling a zero is not hard. You can be paying 200 USD a month with barely any chance of ever hearing back. Your best chance of getting support from Anthropic is the same as with any other big tech

I asked it about designing a 12 V solar system for a garden shed and it got everything but the broadest of strokes wrong. It figured out there should be a solar panel, a solar charge controller, a battery and some loads, but the wiring was

Same story here, I installed it and ran `gwc auth setup` only to find I needed to install a `gloud` CLI by hand. That led me to this link with install instructions: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install . Unmis
