I leave my work session at a `git add -p` invocation. Next morning I tab through that to get started. If I start at a clean terminal in the morning, it ends very badly - either I `cd dotfiles` and sta…

And hallucinations.

What the hell, never heard of that tag before. And I used to scroll through MDN for fun.

Disclaimer: numbers are from memory > china China imports only 21% of it's soy from america. Down from 40% 5y back. America consistently exports only half of its soy output. The other half is …

TigerBeetle looks interesting. A whole networked database using statically allocated memory. I usually use that technique for small keyboard-shortcut triggered applications. One question in case folks…

That sounds like what happens when DRM doesn't work... Audio playing fine, but widevine telling the GPU to not expose the handle to the display. Perhaps on macOS some state is shared among all DR…

Yeah, I too feel that anything that's TV news should be left out of HN. I mean, as an outsider (to us politics), I didn't see a whack of difference between standard twitter/instagram sl…

I have thought of things to do with kitty remote but have always been lazy to actually write the code. Do you have it open source by any chance for me to steal?

What ticked off my detector was the overuse of the "it's not [just] x, it's y" phrasing.

I think varispeed is chatgpt.

Ok, so I saw varispeed's comments in this thread. They're really LLMish. I have a feeling you are just arguing with ChatGPT.

> soundtrack The tracks in FIFA 14-15 was also so much better than the tracks in today's FIFAs. In every way. They handpicked not-mainstream songs too

Another case of Accidentally Quadratic

AI investment is more like an infrastructure investment. The telecom boom was the same, and so was the cloud boom, and to some extent, the dotcom boom too. > Intertwined And that is the _point_, th…

Ctrl-Fd you here the moment i saw that in the article

Wow, the only prosaic take in this entire dumpster-fire of a thread. Can you point me to the doc that says all this? Admittedly I didn't yet bother looking for the official ruling since those are…

I actually prefer to not be dogmatic about one approach or the other, and I think the answer will be different for different dev/ci/deployment workflows. Here's my approach, of course f…

"We do NOT break userspace"

Oh god I _hate_ this. Does anyone have any custom instructions to shut this thing off. The only thing that worked for me is to ask the model to be terse. But that causes the main answer part to be ter…

And 3) On mobile (android) opening the keyboard scrolls the chat to the bottom! I sometimes want to type referring something from the middle of the LLMs last answer.

Yes, this was the thinking behind the telco boom(or bust depending on who you ask), cloud in the 2010s too, was the same.

AI _is_ replacing radiologists. Where AI stands for "An Indian". Search for teleradiology, on Google and on HN too.

It might sound weird, but yes. The economic perspective is the same. You're making a huge upfront unprofitable investment into something, so that a lot of insanely profitable investments can be m…

Tokens correspond more to words in text land. The cat-feline etc connection happens when you train the model and not really by the tokenisation algorithm, which only sees text and not concepts. Byte p…
