> Maybe we need LLMs which have an internal dialogue rather than the current monologue. We already have them. They are called LLMs. The internal dialogue you speak of are the vectors in the so call…
comment
> I'd love to be able to specify containers on bookmarks. That's the biggest missing feature for me still. That sounds like a nice hello world Firefox extension project. Why not give it a…
comment
> I mean... would it really be that big of a crime against humanity to insert two or three em dashes if the situation seriously needs it? Imagine a discussion on how many em dashes should be used t…
comment
> Using more tokens is a significant problem if you pay per token? Yoh have posts in this thread suggesting that Fable is 5x more expensive than Kimi K3.
comment
> or the web app task I mentioned: * Kimi K3: (...) cost $6.3 * Fable: (...) cost $30 It's pretty clear that Kimi K3 beats Fable by a long margin.
comment
> though I own a half-dozen YubyKeys, I do wonder what their profit margins are. I hope they are huge while the products stay affordable. A cursory check suggests even yubico's product line ar…
comment
> Perhaps you should look at the announcement. Of course webauthin is in the browsers. Yes. You sound really confused right now. Perhaps you should take a step back and check your notes. > So my…
comment
> I think the universe of SPAs that should exist is far smaller than the universe of SPAs that does exist (...) That's a pointless thing to say. Your personal opinion on how people should not …
comment
> If one already has an (non-React) SPA which is not already built following Redux then you're stuck with what you've got; This is simply false and is outright wrong. This even goes again…
comment
> ...yes, Redux (not React) deserves to be #1, This is a rather perplexing statement to make. If anything, Redux only plays a role in adding syntactic sugar over React's support for reactive p…
comment
> ReactJS has been a very mixed-bag... This is a very confused statement to be made, specially after the last decade where React established itself as the de facto way of writing any and every SPA.…
comment
> The WebAuthn thing could, in theory, make the browser remember your key so you don't have to pin every time you use it, but that only happens when Apple, Google and others implement this pro…

comment
> (...) but I'd wager that the majority of these papers is not complete slop (...) That's a huge assumption, and one that goes against the whole notion of using LLMs to generate text. AI …
comment
> My opinion is: if it makes communicating research more effective, while not reducing the quality of the output substantially, I see no issue. That's a big if. ArXiv is not peer reviewed and …
comment
> I don't see it in grok or chatgpt launch threads. There's some wilful ignorance in your comments. Elon Musk's businesses have been taking a colossal hit due to his role in the Trum…
comment
> A lot of hypotheticals, conjecture, speculation, personal feels devoid of any facts. No,not really. There is only one point: does Bun acknowledge that past contributors still hold copyright over …
comment
> This post still takes me almost an afternoon to finish, but without AI, it will take me much more time. Why do you think people will bother reading something you didn't bothered to write?
comment
> Why does changing to Rust kill the project? I don't understand the point here. I'm concerned that the complete rewrite in an entirely different language is not a sound technical decisio…
comment
> Really enjoying the picture of this user who logs into his router and decides that all unsolicited network traffic from the internet should go to his network camera. Absolute legend. God amongst …
comment
> This underscores the principle that IoT devices should not be allowed to communicate over the public Internet. TP-Link is a prominent maker of network hardware, including home and mesh routers.
comment
> Unless you're dumb enough to (...) It sounds like you are blaming the user for providing data that a service can leak. That's like blaming a user for writing personal emails when faced …
comment
> And then bisect fails because it finds one of the many commits that broke the test before the actual regression And that's ok. You skip the commit and move on with your life.
comment
> Making small atomic commits as you go in the age of AI tends not to go great because it forces too much human in the loop in a lot of cases (...) You seem confused. In the age of AI your ai code …

OP's advice is bad and lazy. You want to have a coherent commit history with isolated changes. See my reply here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48903456 …
comment
> How would you identify the commit that broke the test? You're asking how to use bisect. You start with a range of commits you picked. All that bisect does is help you search for a commit wit…
comment
> And you can also use bisect by first figuring out the broken commit some other way (...) Bisect exists to be a tool you can use to fix the problems you are facing. It you are faced by problems yo…
comment
> I am convinced that very few know about git bisect, much less use it regularly. Yes, unfortunately not all companies have a high hiring bar. Some
comment
> Isn't this solved if you squash the commits when merging the PR? In theory, yes. Squashing is an extreme approach to merging fixup commits. It also throws the baby out with the bathwater by …
comment
> That sounds like it would break bisect Nonsense. First off, you can pick the starting commit, and nothing forces you to pick the test one. Second, bisect is designed to tracks changes from good s…
