I think where these could find some value is as an alternative to going through a possibly paid video/coursicle type tutorial for self-learners. Ostensibly, learners would be getting up-to-date i…

> Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a problem setup in deep learning where, at test time, a learner observes samples from classes which were not observed during training, and needs to predict the class t…

I'd agree with medicine, school/nursery, real estate, and finance but mostly because in those industries the ability to connect with clients at a human level is often more valuable than shee…

Agreed. Also if they had really been trying to drive ARR, they would have made Tailwind UI a subscription/yearly licensing thing instead of a one-time purchase. There's a reason companies li…

When I wrote the Go one, the biggest challenge I had was synchronizing global state, since it was massively concurrent (there was a server goroutine to handle the main game tick, and two goroutines pe…

I love how concise that Haskell code is! I've also started building a new MUD engine, but in Rust (previously I've written a partially complete one in Go), and this time around I'm work…

I've gotten used to middle mouse opening links in a new tab.

The IBA's alarmism about US politics rings particularly hollow given the scale of free speech policing on its own doorstep. The irony is rich, considering the UK police make over 30 arrests per d…

As am I. In the case of commentary, an author who uses AI to converse about "his" work indicates a fundamental misunderstanding/lack of comprehension thereof which leads to The case of …

Learn to frame your ideas independently of AI. If all you can do is throw slop like this at VC, you're going to stay no-team, no-VC for the indefinite future.

Your post, most of your comments here, and much of the source code looks AI generated; I get the feeling you lack sufficient understanding of what you're even trying to achieve here. Also regardi…

The Verge wrote an article about this too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46466171

I think all in all, a short term disruption in RAM price is acceptable considering most people don't upgrade their computers that often. In fact, it's a common sentiment on HN that since the…

> But they...don't. Look at the CPU to GPU ratio in any business vs an "AI business". First off, the language of the article implies that the hardware itself , regardless of CPU…

I love the layout of this!

Yup. Phrases like "The Trap", "The Reality", "The Token Counter", "Batch Billing Lag", "The Loophole" all indicate markdown style thought processes th…

I don't think many of them will want to, though. I think as long as Nvidia/AMD/other hardware providers offer inference hardware at prices decent enough to not justify building a chip i…
