I do think American's desire for democracy is very resilient but I worry that the 'force and might' of the gov may become to strong and the public does not have the apatite to bare war and suffering required to remove it.

Hopefully it doesnt come to that and Trump's power can be voted away in the midterms and there will be a peaceful transition back to sane governance.

The craziest thing was how Microsoft took the super established brand from decades, and renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365.

I'm not sure if it's named Microsoft 365 Copilot nowadays, or if that's an optional AI addon? I thought it was renamed once more, but they themselves claim simply "Microsoft 365" (in a few various tiers) sans-Copilot. https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/buy/compare-all-micr...

You're right - hallucinations aren't limited to citations. We see a few failure modes:

Fabricated citations: Case doesn't exist at all

Wrong citation: Case exists but doesn't say what the model claims

Misattributed holdings: Real case, real holding, but applied incorrectly to the legal question

From our internal testing, proper context engineering significantly reduces hallucination across the board.

Once we ground the model in the relevant source documents, hallucination rates drop substantially.

It can be more complex than that, sure for one person your comment makes sense

but if enough people use their time to go to the cheaper station further away, then they may force the closer garage to to reduce their price

either that or the close garage goes out of business and the one further away puts up the price because they can.

but still, it can be more complex

They presumably use codex to build this. LLMs output is non-deterministic. Harder to keep the same logic across.

Would I love the, use swiftui on macos, wpf/winui om windows, whatever qt hell it is on linux? Sure

But it is what it is.

I am glad the codex-cli is rust and native. Because claude code and opencode are not: react, solidjs and what have you for a tree layer.

—

Then again, if codex builds codex, let it cook and port if AI is great. Otherwise, it’s claim chowder

Yeah! What is the deal with the shift to non-strip protoboards? If you're going to work like that, why on earth wouldn't you want to at least start with the assumption that you're going to need to connect things?

The thing that really gets me is when I see designs on non-strip protos that involve the creator drawing a bead of solder across multiple holes to form a really unreliable wire. It's like they spent time using red stone in Minecraft and brought that instinct to electronics.

As for your larger point... I hear you - especially on the scope creep. However, it's distinctly possible that there's a realistic minimum time commitment to certain things we want to accomplish in life that are worth doing. If I have an idea for a little amp circuit or something, maybe the right thing to do is to make my best effort in KiCAD, spend that afternoon, measure everything twice... then not think about it for a week. Maybe that's when you jump into Fusion and whip up that quick enclosure.

Maybe the antidote to "slop" is that anything worth doing is worth that bit of attention. A product for one customer.

Otherwise, the solution is likely still the trusty and small drama solderless breadboard.

> We can argue and do, about what agents "are" and whether they are parrots (no) or people (not yet).

It's more helpful to argue about when people are parrots and when people are not.

For a good portion of the day humans behave indistinguishably from continuation machines.

As moltbook can emulate reddit, continuation machines can emulate a uni cafeteria. What's been said before will certainly be said again, most differentiation is in the degree of variation and can be measured as unexpectedness while retaining salience. Either case is aiming at the perfect blend of congeniality and perplexity to keep your lunch mates at the table not just today but again in future days.

Seems likely we're less clever than we parrot.

Good point. And 'yard', if any. You can even see this at large events that are in urban centers.

Churchill Downs for example is surrounded by residential properties. At Derby time a lot of those enterprising people would let you park in their yard for $5 or $10 (maybe more now, it's been many years). These are not large properties - typical older shotgun houses. I seem to remember them getting 10 or more cars and that's not even counting the space the house itself is taking up.

I'd really like to be a drop in that bucket, but as an nvidia owner it's rough. You take a sizable performance hit and general stability is awful. In Linux I can't turn off my monitor on nvidia, or there's a ~80% chance I'll never get it to come back on. If it does, I don't have sound 100% of the time. It's ridiculous.

My next GPU will be a Radeon, but they don't have anything to offer that can beat my 4080 from 2022...

It's funny how useful water is for power generation.

There's heat storage as discussed here.

Or you can store cold water in a reservoir as a giant battery, pumping it up high when you've got excess power, and letting it back down to generate hydroelectricity from it later.

Or you can boil water to make steam that spins a turbine and use it to convert anything that can heat water (coal, oil, nuclear...) to electricity.

Thanks for checking it out!

Most of my voters have come from Reddit and Bluesky so far, which is primarily where the left leaning is coming from. My X account was unfortunately suspended lol. I put an appeal in, but was originally flagged I think do to a new account, political content, and lots of links to the polls. I use an OG dynamic card generator so if I post a link to that poll or result, it creates a card for it on the fly. I think X didn't like that since I wasn't established.

That one was interesting, I am not really sure why that one skewed so far the other directly. I did not have the discussion section open yet (and just slowly getting a few active users), but that was the original reason I added the discussion. I don't know who users are, what their demographics are, etc.. (and I don't want to store that info), so hopefully in the future polls like that people will explain the "why".

I need to build some more analytics into the site (both frontend and backend) so I can analyze the data and visualize it, and so users on the frontend can get better ideas on what is happening.

You can, but it seems to just select & use the results of previous expressions. I often want to modify & iterate on the formulas I've previously entered. Or rerun them.

I think there was a calculator like this about a decade ago released for macos, but I can't remember what it was called. Brilliant little piece of software. I assume most people didn't understand it, and it slowly disappeared.

Like I said, lots of vibes and hearsay! :)

The models are definitely continuing to improve; it's more of a question of whether we're reaching diminishing returns. It might make sense to spend $X billion to train a new model that's 100% better, but it makes much less sense to spend $X0 billion to train a new model that's 10% better. (Numbers all made up, obviously.)

I've been coming around to the view that the time spent code-reviewing LLM output is better spent creating evaluation/testing rigs for the product you are building. If you're able to highlight errors in tests (unit, e2e, etc.) and send the detailed error back to the LLM, it will generally do a pretty good job of correcting itself. Its a hill-climbing system, you just have to build the hill.

The "free parking" isn't really free, you just have land that is really cheap devoted to it. And where it isn't...well, American housing prices and rents are increased to pay for them. Street parking matters in almost every neighborhood in Seattle now...since parking on its own is expensive, and you will also have to pay for a few busted windows on your car for the pleasure of free street parking.

The highways are heavily subsidized by general funds these days since raising the gas tax outside of a few states isn't very popular.

I'm American but in the other countries I lived in (Switzerland and China) and the many countries I've visited, private car ownership is always a luxury, not a cheap necessety attainable by everyone.

One downside of Termux is the package management as described here [1].

Some set of very new phones have access to Android Linux Terminal [2]. It is similar to Windows Subsystem for Linux. Like WSL, Android Linux Terminal lets one use apt directly.

My experience with good outsourcing firms is that they come back with heavily-documented solutions that are 95% of what you actually wanted, leaving you uncomfortably wondering if doing it yourself woulda been better.

I’m not fully sure what’s worse, something close to garbage with a short shelf life anyone can see, or something so close to usable that it can fully bite me in the ass…

That would actually be really interesting since most of my users so far are from Reddit and Bluesky. Seeing how that breaks down would be telling of how sites primary users feel.

The only issue is, while Plausible analytics that I am using is really nice since it is privacy focused and doesn't track people, I have noticed it doesn't do a great job of understanding what links brought someone there. I am sure Google Analytics or others would do a better job, but it sort of circumvents the anonymous idea. Especially since this is a side project mostly for fun/interesting, I don't really want to be responsible for linking people to political choices.

Good question. The key difference is in the transformation workflow.

Cloudflare Images requires you to pre-define "variants" in the dashboard before you can use them. Need a 800x600 crop? Go to the dashboard, create a variant, name it, then reference it in your URL like imagedelivery.net/<account_hash>/<image_id>/my-variant. Every time you need a new size or quality combination, you're back in the dashboard. It's a configure → register → use flow.

img-src.io lets you specify transformations directly in the URL query string — no pre-registration needed. img-src.io/i/john/photo.webp?w=800&h=600&q=85&fit=cover just works on the first request. You can freely combine 20+ parameters (blur, sharpen, rotate, grayscale, etc.) without touching any dashboard. It's an upload → use flow.

We do offer presets (?p:thumbnail) which work similarly to Cloudflare's variants — named parameter sets you can reuse across URLs. The difference is that presets are optional and managed via API, not a prerequisite. You can go ad-hoc when prototyping and introduce presets later when your transformation needs stabilize, rather than being forced to define every combination upfront in a dashboard.

I agree with the prepackaging aspect, cita HN's dismissal of Dropbox. In the meantime, The global enterprise with all its might has not been able to stop high profile computer hacks/data leaks from happening. I don't think people will cry over a misconfigured supabase database. It's nothing worse than what's already out there.

Sure everybody wants security and that's what they will say but does that really translate to reduced inferred value of vibe code tools? I haven't seen evidence
by ACCount37 | 2026-02-02 20:40:08+00:00
Nah.

All neural accelerator hardware models and all neural accelerator software stacks output slightly different results. That is a truth of the world.

The same is true for GPUs and 3d rendering stacks too.

We don't usually notice that, because the tasks themselves tolerate those minor errors. You can't easily tell the difference between an LLM that had 0.00001% of its least significant bits perturbed one way and one that had them perturbed the other.

But you could absolutely construct a degenerate edge case that causes those tiny perturbances to fuck with everything fiercely. And very rarely, this kind of thing might happen naturally.

I've heard Opus 4.5 might have an edge especially in long running agentic coding scenarios (?) but personally yes Gemini 3 series is what I was expecting GPT-5 to be.

I'm also mostly on Gemini 3 Flash. Not because I've compared them all and I found it the best bar none, but because it fulfills my needs and then some, and Google has a surprisingly little noted family plan for it. Unlike OpenAI, unlike Anthropic. IIRC it's something like 5 shared Gemini Pro subs for the price of 1. Even being just a couple sharing it, it's a fantastic deal. My wife uses it during studies, I professionally with coding and I've never run into limits.

I'm going to agree with the downvoted people and say that this sort of approach is largely meaningless if you allow arbitrary mappings. IMO the most reasonable mathematical formulation given the structure of the integers (in the sense of e.g. Peano) is that to truly represent an integer you have to represent zero and each other representable number has a representable predecessor, i.e. to say you can represent 5 you need 0,1,2,3,4, and 5 to be representable. By a straightforward counting argument, 2^64-1 is then the largest representable number, in other words the obvious thing is right.

I'm at a large company that is building connections between all of its different financial systems. The primary problem being faced is NOT speed to code things, the primary problem at large companies is getting business aligned with tech (communication) and getting alignment across all the different orgs on data ownership, access, and security. AI currently doesn't solve any of this. Throw in needing to deal with regulation/SOX compliance and all the progress you think AI might make, just doesn't align with the problem domains.
by nonethewiser | 2026-02-02 20:41:29+00:00
Yeah the article doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Guess whose writing software with AI? Software companies.

They mention sites like Base44 and Lovable. Sure, if tons of business was rotating out of software into no code AI solutions the article would have a point. But has a large portion of market cap moved out of AI into a few little no-code startups? Is Salesforce, Service Now, and SAP being replaced with no code applications? No. Absolutely not. These are small, niche companies. It does not explain a large downward movement in an entire industry.
