This article is ostensibly about biology but it's really about pedagogy—how traditional education squeezes out the sense of discovery and turns many subjects into rote memorization exercises. This reminds me of the pedagogical philosop

This is intriguing. The two relevant features seem to be 1) realtime collaborative multiplayer conversations and 2) conversation-as-document - basically, letting you comment inline in an agent conversation. For (1), the main value I'd

Very cool! Have you seen https://encore.dev/ ? Haven't used it personally but I saw it on HN last year and have been meaning to try it out. Seems like your approach is a bit more "batteries-included" but I&#x

I don't have much to say about this post other than to vigorously agree! As an engineer who's full-stack and has frequently ended up doing product management, I think the main value I provide organizations is the ability to think

I find this perspective bizarre. Though I'm not happy about it all being centralized, the closest thing we have these days to the very niche phpBB forums of the 2000s is various subreddits focused on very specific topics. Scrolling thr

Perhaps swearing at the LLM actually produces worse results? Not sure if you’re being figurative, but if what you wrote in your first comment is indicative of the tone with which you prompt the LLM, then I’m not surprised you get terrible r

I would like to propose a moratorium on these sorts of “AI coding is good” or “AI coding sucks” comments without any further context. This comment is like saying, “This diet didn’t work for me” without providing any details about your healt

This is excellent! I think the utility of generating vectors is far, far greater than all the raster generation that's been a big focus thus far (DALL-E, Midjourney, etc). Those efforts have been incredibly impressive, of course, but r

Install Cursor ( https://cursor.com ), go into Cursor Settings and disable everything but Claude, then open Composer (Ctrl/Cmd + I). Paste in your exact command above. I bet it’ll do something pretty close to what you’re look

I've completely switched over to Cursor from Copilot. Main benefits: 1. You can configure which LLMs you want to use, whereas Copilot just supports OpenAI models. I just use Claude 3.5 for everything. 2. Chatting with the LLM can produ

Ah, my mistake. "Meta AI" can generate both text and images, but apparently text prompts are handled by Llama 3.1 while image prompts are handled by Emu. I initially struggled to find the name of the image generation model.

Many AI-generated images you encounter are low-effort creations without much prompt tuning, created using something like DALL-E or Llama 3.1. For whatever reason, the default style of DALL-E, Llama 3.1, and base Stable Diffusion seems to le

Just to clarify, are you saying these are relatively new BEV trucks coming into your shop? If so, do the mileage issues usually boil to battery degradation due to driver behavior as you’re suggesting, or is it because the EPA rated mileage
