2022, and pretty clear why. Here is the discussion from the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30977147 …

They did it interactively with Claude, it’s possible that it played up the significance and humor of the findings in a way that the interaction left the user feeling like they were really on to someth…

People ask the same question of why YC funds yet another Uber for dogs or a button on the Touch Bar that cost $10/mo to help join a meeting faster. They invest in people more than ideas, so you’v…

Interesting, I didn’t know this existed, do you think it’s competitive with Qwen 3.6 35B A3B which seems to be the closest comparator? It’s 20 vs 32 in favor of Qwen on artificial analysis intelligenc…

I’ve done some of what I think this is, working on prem with customers, and I find it funny when I see jobs for FDEs that are somehow all in-office in San Francisco. The whole idea of being forward de…

I had a ~2008 vintage Samsung phone with a fingerprint sensor that gave your blood oxygen level (SpO2). One day it told me something similar, I had to agree to send them data or I couldn’t use it. So …

I’ve been using local models on a Framework desktop. I get > 50 tokens/s on Qwen 3.6 35B A3B, and I find that speed ok for coding (though the model not quite). If machine could do a SOTA mode…

The funny thing about Fable, is we all but know it will be obsolete in a month or two. Between their embargo shenanigans (which IMO they could have avoided just by not pretending it was dangerous) a…

He says he might have been too harsh in his “eternal sloptember” post from may: https://geohot.github.io/blog/jekyll/update/2026/05/24/the-e... I wonder …

The secret sauce is training data. They’re not just taking advantage of more compute (which obviously is necessary but as mentions basically a commodity). They are paying billions to data labelers and…

I read before that iirc because of waning protection it’s better not to get it too early. It’s not clear to me why you can’t get it twice, but what I read (and it was some online discussion so could b…

I’m assuming this person did ask in the second way, it’s hard to imagine someone working through a problem that has already tried a bunch of stuff just going in cold and not providing any context and …

(in mice) - I get it if it’s some new experimental drug, a mouse probably makes sense to test first. With exercise you’d think they could go straight to humans? Seems like it would be more effort gett…

Just recently AI became “powerful enough” to warrant export controls from the US and maybe soon China. What’s the term I’m looking for here? This is one of the most absurd statements I’ve ever…

Models generate text, or I should say provide a recipe for generating text, they don’t automatically somehow get access to shell commands.

It will be interesting to see how the discussion shakes out, this is all stuff that would get you down modded and talked down to if you said if on HN, so far the reactions are positive but I think the…

The AI narrative requires an enemy and a “race” that the US has to win. It’s a pretext for justifying spending, rules, urgency, etc and making it sound more important.
