That's the same argument companies like Google make when they're in the exploit phase of their lifecycle. We can afford to let search results get worse, just so long as they're no so much worse people don't turn to our competitors. However they're doing it for money, so at least they have a good reason. Who can say why someone would make their software unpleasant with template metaprogramming.
> I don't understand why educated people expect that an LLM would be able to play chess at a decent level.

The blog post demonstrates that a LLM plays chess at a decent level.

The blog post explains why. It addresses the issue of data quality.

I don't understand what point you thought you were making. Regardless of where you stand, the blog post showcases a surprising result.

You stress your prior unfounded belief, you were presented with data that proves it wrong, and your reaction was to post a comment with a thinly veiled accusation of people not being educated when clearly you are the one that's off.

To make matters worse, this topic is also about curiosity. Which has a strong link with intelligence and education. And you are here criticizing others on those grounds in spite of showing your defitic right at the first sentence.

This blog post was a great read. Very surprising, engaging, and thought provoking.
I'm one of those people. I charge my phone once a week. Most of my interaction with it is notifications on the lock screen.
They did not say it was dementia, and they did not offer care suggestions - they merely shared their own related experience.

I imagine the number of people who don't unlock their iPhones in ≥24 hours is a vanishingly small percentage of the userbase. Especially since with new iPhones, just looking at the lockscreen with your face unobscured is enough to unlock it.

The BSP file stores faces, which define a number of edges (or vertices). Faces are used in rendering, and contain the texture being drawn.

Faces also refer to a plane and a “side”. If the side is 1, the normal of the plane is flipped which has the effect of using the back side of the plane.

Right, but your position also includes whether or not you still have the right to castle on either side, whether each pawn has the right to capture en passant or not, the number of moves since the last pawn move or capture (for tracking the 50 move rule), and whether or not the current position has ever appeared on the board once or twice prior (so you can claim a draw by threefold repetition).

So in practice, your position actually includes the log of all moves to that point. That’s a lot more state than just what you can see on the board.
I’d say it’s more about the fact that they make useful products rather than brand recognition.

A memory mapped file can be used to store complex object oriented structures if you make use of 'relative' pointers, where you have to add the address of the pointer to the pointer to get to the object you are pointing to. I once used this method, to persist a complex data structure without having to write serialization code.

A long time ago, I implemented some C++ classes that would hide most of the additional work and also took care of allocating new objects inside the memory mapped file. See: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/D0205.html#13MMF (Note that this implementation actually makes use of a slightly different approach where pointers are relative with respect to the first position of the file. This implementation has the limitation that you can only open one such store as a memory mapped file. It was only later I realized that it was possible to do without the offset. I never came to rewriting all the code.)
Treating sleep, rest, and even meals as part of the “job” of taking care of yourself is a powerful shift in mindset.

What they are measuring, it seems, is whether LLMs can be built which will retrieve a reliable known correct answer on request. That's an information retrieval problem, and, in fact, they solve it by adding "Memory Experts" which are basically data storage.

It's not clear that this helps either replies which require synthesizing disparate information, or detecting that the training data does not contain info needed to construct a reply.

Yes, 4 exceptions: castling rights, legal en passant captures, threefold repetition, and the 50 move rule. You actually need quite a lot of state to track all of those.
The benefit is how quickly an experienced programmer can accurately isolate portions of logic and understand / mutate them.

It also achieves that in monochrome, which is likely to be the case when an SQL query is in a shell script's <<< HEREDOC or in a string blob in a log file or source code for another language's compiler.
I'm about to step away I think. I love programming and creativity.

But I'm also about to be made redundant. So I've been job searching. I thought I had an "impressive" CV for 3 YoE - I mean I've built solo stuff with XXX,XXX+ users (and others with XX,XXX and 2 with XXXX users and one with XXX users!!)! But because I don't have C# commercial experience (in NZ) I can't get any jobs. I also had an abusive interview today which pushed me over the edge.

I felt like meeting "god" after that traumatic interview experience and the state of things (like the indigenous people having their treaty destroyed by a fucking racist right leaning bastard government). I'm sorry if thats not okay to say on HN, I'm just incredibly sad at the state of the world and it seems my career is about to evaporate and my life with it. I'm partially disabled so that doesn't help, I can't just go out and become a forest ranger or something cool.

I'm probably on several lists now for my comments on the state of the world. Fuck it. All privacy has been destroyed anyway.

I never get this argument.

I've seen a deer on a road maybe once. I've seen a rabbit on a road zero times. But I know what to do if I see one.

Is that because the "video" of my perception has many "frames"? Even if that's true at some level, I think it's massively missing the point. Yeah, so I saw that one deer from a lot of angles. But current AI training is like the equivalent of taking every deer that has ever been on camera in the history of the human species.

Somehow I'm still dramatically better at generalization than the AI. Surely that's an algorithm difference.
> complex object oriented structures if you make use of 'relative' pointers

You just described the original MsOffice file formats (and given many people who ever tried to parse them a PTSD shock)
Most stl classes will work just fine with smart pointers. For example, std::vector takes a custom allocator. You can have the allocators pointer type be a custom pointer class. The pointer class is a wrapper over an offset that is the same size as the native word.

Then the operator-> is just (this + offset).

I've used this approach successfully in many projects. If you're worried about differing stls(probably a reasonable worry here), then use any of the boost containers.
The matrix developers are experienced IM developers. They've built systems on XMPP and custom protocols before. Their estimate was that because of matrix being federated, every feature was 5-10x harder to implement than in centralized systems.
This is a ridiculous take. Of course Google should be allowed to link to Google Maps from their homepage and search. I have never seen this level of adoration for ridiculous overregulation.

Prometheus is quite popular, your comment seems unnecessary.

If we use GitHub stars as some measure of relative popularity (or at least awareness): Prometheus has 55.7k stars. For comparison, Ruby on Rails has 56.1k stars, ranked only two spots ahead of Prometheus in GitHub repos with most stars.

So why doesn’t every post on HN about Rails have a comment like yours?

My point is that having work that is obviously AI-generated is now a negative thing.

If, in the future, there is a way to validate humanity (as I mentioned in my comment), then any real writers will likely use it.

Anyone that doesn't validate their humanity will be assumed to be an AI. The reaction to this may or may not be negative, but the broader point is that in this scenario, the AI won't be eating all human creations.

Indeed. I absolutely love my daughter but I think having her made me and my wife feel at least 10 years older. I always wanted two kids but now it makes me afraid and I honestly believe I would not survive a second one. At least not a similar like my daughter.

She's super cute, intelligent and active but also extremely demanding and had a lot of problems with dermatitis, tummy aches, KISS syndrome and other stuff that made her not sleep well and cry a lot (and she's super loud).

It also made me respect single parents 10000 times more than before. I can't imagine handling a situation like that alone.

Still it is impressive to create something complex like this in a matter of 4 days (looking at the commit history). And it is a good start to develop a full fledged IDE.

The more advanced features like syntax highlighting & autocomplete unfortunately are missing. I did not run it (I am on macOS) but I also expect there is no debugger.

Now I also want to share my childhood story: I started my dev journey first by using Turbo Pascal and then by switching to Delphi 7. Delphi was pretty much like VB6, you designed an app by dragging and dropping components on a form. My first app that I have created was a Notepad++ clone, I still keep the code for it but it is so awful that I cringe every time I try to look at it.
Quite unsatisfying read. Even for the title.

I guess he proves his point, it's hard to build a cutting edge system without much more research if you assembly it based on your own insights.

You were explaining this for someone like me. Thanks for that!
it's the equivalent of the "we overestimate the impact of technology in the short-term and underestimate the effect in the long run" quote.

everyone is looking at llm scores & strawberry gotchas while ignoring the trillions of market potential in replacing existing systems and (yes) people with the current capabilities. identifying the use cases, finetuning the models and (most importantly) actually rolling this out in existing organizations/processes/systems will be the challenge long before the base models' capabilities will be

it is worth working on those issues now and get the ball rolling, switching out your models for future more capable ones will be the easy part later on.
Hey everyone!

I’m Lavanya, working at Houseware, where we’re building AI agents for digital marketing. Our agents help handle tedious workflows so you can spend your time on the fun (and impactful) parts of marketing!

Just last month, we launched the SEO Keyword Strategist Agent on Product Hunt, and the love was unreal! The feedback gave us a new mission: what if we could tackle even more of the SEO process?

Here’s the thing: SEO is still one of the best ways to get traffic. It drives 1,000% more organic traffic than social media! But it’s no walk in the park—optimizing old content can uncover some hidden gems, while keeping up with new trends is key to staying relevant. Balancing both can often be overwhelming.

So, we built the SEO Specialist to help with just that.

We’re thrilled for you to try it out! It’s free, so you can dive right in. Your thoughts and feedback mean the world to us, and we’re here to build something that truly makes SEO easier for you.

Here’s how it works:

Analyze your existing pages for technical gaps, keyword opportunities, and competitor insights. It’s like having an SEO expert tell you exactly where to improve.

Generate new content that’s tailored to your chosen keywords. The agent creates detailed outlines and full drafts that are optimized to rank. Need to change the tone or add a section? Just chat with the AI, and it adapts on the spot.

Do it all in one flow—no more switching between tools. Everything from analysis to final content creation happens here, making it super smooth.

Cheers,
Lavanya
I share this idea but from the different perspective. It doesn’t develop these mechanisms, but casts a high-dimensional-enough shadow of their effect on itself. This vaguely explains why the more deep Gell-Mann-wise you are the less sharp that shadow is, because specificity cuts off “reasoning” hyperplanes.

It’s hard to explain emerging mechanisms because of the nature of generation, which is one-pass sequential matrix reduction. I say this while waving my hands, but listen. Reasoning is similar to Turing complete algorithms, and what LLMs can become through training is similar to limited pushdown automata at best. I think this is a good conceptual handle for it.

“Line of thought” is an interesting way to loop the process back, but it doesn’t show that much improvement, afaiu, and still is finite.

Otoh, a chess player takes as much time and “loops” as they need to get the result (ignoring competitive time limits).
IMHO, not all good. In this style guide, the person says to "SELECT, FROM, etc. are all right aligned while the actual column names and implementation-specific details are left aligned."

Seems like a lot of work to me. And I don't know any formatter that'd do that work.
Ha! Okay, I like this, I think it changes my mind on the whole thing being viable. There's probably some reason it wouldn't work in reality but the satisfaction from pressing the charge $1 option on spam would be huge.

I disagree about the we-adda-baby-itsa-boy issue. I don't see how that'd apply given that you can charge them $1 from the very first message.
The traditional way was to have an eating contest with the troll, where you hide a bag under your shirt, surreptitiously slipping some of the food into that, and at some point pretend to extravagantly cut up your stomach to be able to fit more food, so the ambitious troll will try to do the same.

> automatically exposing Facebook users to Marketplace without any question of consent.

I simply cannot even comprehend the kind of entity/mind that sees this as an issue. How does the EU even get anything done?

Think of the poor users! "Exposed" to Facebook Marketplace, oh the humanity! How evil of a company to link to their own services on their own website! We must regulate the links!

This ridiculous mentality is why the EU has strangled its tech space to death, why it has missed out on trillions from the mobile era and will miss out on trillions from the AI era, why all of your best engineers come to the US, and why the EU has completely and utterly failed in consumer facing technology.

The EU is more interested in hand wringing and manufactured moral panic than actually getting shit done. Marketplace in Facebook feeds? So what? Like, who gives a shit? The users certainly don't. It works, people like it, ship it, move on. God, what a suffocating bureaucracy.
Unfortunately not. Looks like you can set the time (or choose sunrise or sunset), and then you can set it to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. No option based on inactivity.

However, you can set it to shutdown or reboot if it receives an email that contains a specific string in the subject line. So you could have a computer that sends it a shutdown email. You could base it off of inactivity of that computer, or you could have it listen for a cancel-shutdown email, which could be sent by the iPhone when it connects to WiFi (assuming you don't live someplace like a university campus where you're always connected to WiFi even when you leave home.) If the computer doesn't receive the cancel-shutdown email within the set period of time, the computer would send the shutdown/reboot email to the iPhone.

However, like another commenter pointed out [1], the action doesn't even seem to work currently as of iOS 18.0.1. If you set it to "Run Immediately" with "Notify When Run" to off, it just doesn't run. If you turn "Notify When Run" on, the action runs, but still requires you to confirm it manually with a tap, which defeats the purpose of the automation. Who knows, maybe a future update will fix it.

It doesn't do the same thing security-wise, though. It's more of a "performance manager" (i.e. the same reason you'd reboot an old Windows PC).

BFU (Before First Unlock, as described in the article) on an Android is pretty similar to an iPhone (data still locked down, notifs don't come in, apps not running). Only after you unlock the first time can apps start running and notifs come in. This is also the state where it's more vulnerable to attackers (cops or criminals).

I have both an iPhone and an Android (currently a Z Fold 5, so a recent model). My Fold 5 does this auto-reboot every week. When it does reboot, my usual background apps come up, and notifs work as usual.

This means that Android (or perhaps more accurately, OneUI — Samsung's custom stuff on top of Android) is not doing a "full" reboot, and thus isn't providing the same security benefits as Apple is by putting the phone in a "BFU" or "cold" state.
On Android I get the flashlight by double pressing the "lock" button. It's my single most useful shortcut, my flashlight is on literally before my phone is out of my pocket.
