congrats yoeven! i have been a skeptic of model routing like Martian, because while it sounds good in theory,

1) in practice, people tune prompts/behavior/output to models and don't dynamically switch all the time. to quote a notable founder i interviewed - "people who switch models all the time arent building serious AI apps"

2) the prompt router, to properly do its job at the extreme, will have to be as smart as its smartest model, because dumb models may not recognize a tricky/tough prompt that requires an upgrade, at which point you're basically just reduced to running the smartest model anyway. smart people disagree with me here (you guys, and https://latent.space/p/lmarena). the other side of this argument is that there are only like 3-4 usage modes for models to really spike on (coding, roleplay, function calling, what else) where you'll just pick that model and hardcode it or let the user pick - the scenario where you want a black box to pick for u is rare, and diminishes over time as all the labs are hellbent on bitter lessonning your switching advantage away. bad idea to bet against bitter lesson

3) both OAI and Anthropic will offer "good enough" routing for house models soon https://x.com/swyx/status/1861229884405883210 . people dont need theoretically globally perfect routing, they just need good enough.

it seems Prompt Engine is a little fancier than model routing, but reads sffecitvely still like routing to me. curious your responses to criticism.
This still represents less than 1%. Still, I'm sure it will put some peoples blood pressure up.

Which isn't hard. Many people in the US own something that could be used and we are not even under attack. While most home depot generators deliver dirty power the better ones can provide stable 60hz (US uses 60hz not 50) - those could be used to provide the 60hz to the grid (it wouldn't be worth everything needed to actually do this, but in theory could). there are a lot of "solar generators" that also can provide stable frequency. Many houses are off grid completely and have their own stable source of frequency when they want it (those most often those run on DC, they have the ability to provide AC for things they can't get a DC version of)
Not sure how applicable Idaho's situation is to other states, because Idaho is one of the poorest states in the country.[a]

My quick take: Laws and regulations can be bad or even terrible... but sometimes they are good and necessary. For example, federal and state governments legally requiring everyone in the US to drive on the right side of the road has been beneficial for everyone.

What is almost always bad for everyone is the network of bureaucracies that grow and fester unchecked around the enactment and enforcement of laws and regulations.

We must distinguish between the two: laws/regulations vs. bureaucracies.

Youtube does not do it. You stop seeing youtube's ads, which are obnoxious, but you still see the actual content author's ads.
They'd have to show a cookie banner if they tracked you, so, unless they're breaking the law, no.
Abraham Lincoln brought back from the dead couldn't have won as a Republican in 2008 with the economy the way it was.
Which is also a fantasy, since if you did achieve it, you'd just have tests that verified that all your bugs were in place.
That’s awfully long for a headline but I do agree it’s clearer
The only laudable move is to reject all forms of tracking and targeted ads as a matter of principle and make sure there’s at least one completely ad-free option.

There are few (if any) media businesses I care about enough to compromise on my requirements just to help them stay in business. Certainly not The Verge.

As for me, I’m happy to either not see the content or use workarounds that let me see it for free with no ads, i.e. ad-blockers + reader mode and services like archive.ph.
But it's not about the races.

Are you sure you replied to the right post? Your reply doesn't seem to address the post to which it replied.
Almost all service middleware is capable of running tasks in multiple threads so when serving lots of users that's a very easy way to get parallelism.
If you're just copying data around (like in an HTTP API implementation) you're mostly I/O bound anyway and adding more compute won't help that much so there's no return on investment.
in this case also Russia is benefiting a lot, too much even, their economy is overheating and the unemployment rate is way too low. So this war is a deal that is making everybody happy it seems. The only poor fuckers are the soldiers fighting on the ground.
I think the audience for these projects are frontend developers who don't want/need to write much of a backend. They need some kind of data store + a dumb CRUD API to use with their mobile app or javascript SPA.

Totally right. I shoot almost exclusively with a 50mm prime and make heavy use of cropping. I get to carry a very light, small, and FAST lens that works in many different situations without needing a flash. Modern cameras have such high resolution that the output still has good quality even after significant cropping.

There are some situations where "zooming with your feet" is the right answer and others where it is impossible. Try everything.

Honestly I don't care. I wouldn't sit through a 30 second ad to earn a cent, and i definitely am not doing it so that someone else can earn a cent.

As long as I can use youtube for free with an ad blocker (and sponsorblock, amazing plugin) I will. If google doesn't like that they better figure out a solution. Not my problem.

The OP should indeed vote with their wallet. They will have to find some other source of news/entertainment. (I really wish that those two weren't the same thing, but that's another compromise that we haven't figured out how to avoid while still getting paid.) Maybe they'll get a deal elsewhere that is more to their liking.

2. People do notice when $7/mo is cheaper than $16/mo which is possible because there are still ads.

How do you expect AI to write unit tests if it doesn't know the precise desired semantics (specification)?

What I personally would like AI to do would be to refactor the program so it would be shorter/clearer, without changing its semantics. Then, I (human) could easily review what it does, whether it conforms to the specification. (For example, rewrite the C program to give exactly the same output, but as a Python code.)

In cases where there is a peculiar difference between the desired semantics and real semantics, this would become apparent as additional complexity in the refactored program. For example, there might be a subtle semantic differences between C and Python library functions. If the refactored program would use a custom reimplementation of C function instead of the Python function, it would indicate that the difference matters for the program semantics, and needs to be somehow further specified, or it can be a bug in one of the implementations.

Most of these sales aren't about acquiring a product but about acquiring a customer base, so it would make perfect sense for Atlassian IMHO.
For some reason you can't just add a custom search engine url to Firefox, you need to have an extension. Kagi has one that swts up the engine and injects the token, but it sometimes breaks so I need to uninstall/install it.

> I thought the point was to prosecute them

> Imagine a world where the especially blood-sucking CEOs have a 1/10 chance of being assassinated.

Assassination isn’t prosecution.

My point is, it’s the fantastical world that actually prosecutes corporate managers for their criminal decisions. Shit, it’s the fantastical world that has American laws which make it illegal for UHC to have the business practice of denying claims by default unless/until they’re positively proven necessary beyond any sliver of doubt.

I am not trying to say murder will work to correct corporate behavior, I’m saying that it’s the thing we can see actually happens as an attempt to correct the behavior. It’s not hard to find many examples in this thread of people who think corps get away with too much. That is how one can tell there is a lack of prosecution and/or protection laws.

The real world has unfortunate circumstances that encourage this kind of crime because America does not have effective laws/enforcement which curtail the power of the corporations who write said laws. That’s the fantasy. We don’t live in a world where execs can be prosecuted for most of their anti-social decisions, let alone are.

I never made a value call about what’s fair, I only pointed out that the idea of prosecution in this context is a fantasy.
I've been using it since ~2022 and can't go back. I think it definitely has better results: whenever I'm using a new machine or a different computer without it, I notice the low quality of results immediately; and quickly side-quest to find a way to log in to Kagi.

The freedom of clicking on the first few search results without thinking whether or not those are ads and/or scams is priceless; a calm and premium experience.
> Italy/Spain is so corrupt/incompetent to run nuclear power plants?

Yes absolutely. Japan has a much more respectable culture regarding safety/diligence, and basically every italian citizen will agree on that.

If Japan had to evacuate one of ~50 reactor sites within a lifetime, then it seems ill-avised for an italian citizen to let current government (which is pretty likely to flip-flop across the political spectrum at basically double the rate of normal elections in the first place) start building a reactor in the backyard.

Note that actual numbers reflect this: Last Italian referendum about nuclear power was 94% (!!) against (admittedly shortly after Fukushima).

> Also, sarcastically, Africa is not a country, but 50 countries with a wide variety of development.

I know, my statement is about all of them. Operating nuclear plants requires long-term (centuries, not decades) trust in safety culture, regulators and operating companies. Which african nation would you suggest as a paragon for nuclearization? Egypt? South Africa? (note: this is a trick suggestion; electrical power management in South Africa is the most embarassing, corrupt shitshow you could ever imagine in a somewhat industrialized state).
Not much? I mean, I set it up initially to use as an LLM search tool for agents. That required me to use a specific version of SearXNG due to a JSON bug. My exact docker command is here:

docker run -d -p 9017:8080 --name searxng_data -v "${PWD}/searxng_data:/etc/searxng" -e "BASE_URL=http://localhost:9017/" searxng/searxng:2024.8.31-769b2ed03

I run this from the directory where I want to store the data on windows (hence the weird PWD thing). I also use cloudflare tunnels and have the internet facing website, https://sear.mydomain.com, pointed at http//localhost:9017. I set up all my cloudflare tunnels with email authentication. My token lasts a month (but is configurable to whatever time frame you like). My traffic is strictly mine, so it seems to be working ok.

Its basically no maintenance after this setup. I can mess with all the settings (except results format) from the main interface.

> The engine automatically enhances the initial prompt to improve accuracy, reduce token usage, and prevent output structure breakage.

Sorry, but that's some ugly carpet. Doesn't mesh with the absolutely gorgeous wood design.
That sounds appropriate. I think I've usually seen slightly higher values, but then also usually for half an hour or a little bit more time so that matches up
I thought the same, and still get annoyed when I get "no results" back, but almost every time when I then try to use Google I get nothing but totally inapplicable results I had to sort thru. Google made the news a number of years ago about this, they found people really don't like to see "no results", so Google silently drop terms, even if they're quoted, when it can't find enough results otherwise.

Primarily I've found the source of issues like this are the lack of indexing anymore, and it's not just Kagi. A lot of tech discussions now have their own Forums or Discourse that are poorly promoted and (seem to?) have a robots.txt that says not to index them. I often have to manually go to those sites to run searches and find results from years ago. Also a lot of prohects keep moving away from Forums or equivalent, and using Discord, Matrix, or IRC, none of which end up searchable. No one is going to use those the same way no one is going to call you on the phone, and everyone just has to keep asking the sme questions if they do use it, so I always take that as "we don't support this software/product anymore" and rarely expect to find anything technical about it.

That's the thing. You don't communicate with computers. You use them. You have a task to do that the computer have been programmed for and what you want is to get the parameters of that tasks to the computer. And you learn how to use the computer because the tasks is worth it, just like you learn how to play a game because you enjoy the time doing it. The task supersedes the tool.

Generative AI can be thought as an interface to the tool, but it's been proven that they are unreliable. And as the article outlines, if it can get to 70% of the task, but you don't have the knowledge requires to complete it, that's pretty much the same as 0%. And if you have the knowledge, more often than not you realize that it just go faster on a zigzag instead of the straight route you would have taken with more conventional tools.
It's not about skipping stops, it's about the amount of eminent domain you'd have to do to eliminate curves thru Connecticut's oldest and richest suburbs.

Which is why proposals to route it via Long Island and building a 16-mile tunnel under Long Island Sound get consideration.
There's a lot of affordable choices depending on what you want, but everything has tradeoffs. I love my Microfreak, but it only has 4 voices of polyphony, a weird keybed and no onboard effects. That said it makes amazing sounds and has a very discoverable set of controls, and since I play guitar I have external effect pedals at home anyway.

If you're not committed to hardware, a nice midi controller and a software synth will let you learn without spending big bucks. And even then the midi controller is optional.
More than a million Americans are on PrEP. If any of them are contracting AIDS while HIV-negative, we would have noticed by now.

At this point, I don't think that (truly) AI-informed people believe that AI will replace engineers. But AI tools will likely bring a deep transformation to the workflow of engineers (in a positive and collaborative way).

It may not be tab-tab-tab all the way, but a whole lot more tabs will sneak in.
Very true of course, but I find that at this point, I use https://hckrnews.com/ as much as I use vanilla HN now, at this point, as often I want this a bit fresher and raw. Of course, hckrnew also uses the same minimalist front end style of vanilla hackernews, so I'm sure that contributes.
The overhead for something like youtube is insane. There is good reason there is no competitor to it.

Hello! I'm Will, a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a passion for building scalable and innovative solutions. With expertise in TypeScript, Python, React, SQL, and more.

I’m a self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments and brings a strong background in building scalable, high-availability systems. As a co-creator of an open source drop-in infrastructure and client library for scalable real-time applications using WebSockets. I focused on delivering low-latency, scalable solutions that directly align with the requirements of this role.

The open-source solution includes a comprehensive React client library with full type support, a development server, a presence system powered by Redis, a complete CLI for deploying all necessary AWS resources using AWS CDK, and much more. Full documentation and the authored case study can be found below.

Most recently, I worked with Netlify on their CLI open-source tool, which manages workflows for over 100,000 weekly downloads. During this project, I collaborated with the Netlify team to address multiple features, fix several bugs, and implement a prompting feature to prevent destructive actions related to environment variables. Additionally, I ensured that these changes remained backward compatible with existing CI/CD workflows.

I enjoy wearing different hats and have no problem contributing across the stack. Whether it's backend systems, frontend development, or DevOps tasks, I’m comfortable jumping into any part of the stack.

As a lifelong learner with a positive attitude and a hands-on approach to building. Let me know if you are interested!

You only need to synchronize when you are connecting two different generators. If you house is getting 51 hz, or 50hz but out of phase you won't care because everything works anyway (some clocks will run too fast but otherwise you won't even notice). Only when you want to connect two grids (because one can't make enough power and the other is making more than they need) do you need to synchronize. Even then they only need to synchronize to each other, not the rest of the world.
