In mid-last year, while brainstorming what to build and how the market would evolve, we made two broad predictions:

1. Overall cost of software development will reduce: Building software will require fewer people, and the speed to ship software will drastically increase.

2. One size doesn’t fit all: The evolution of LLMs in software will start with generic LLMs, much like how SaaS was born in the 2000s — mostly generic — but will evolve to become more and more specific over time.

Slowly but steadily, we see these predictions becoming a reality. More and more agents are becoming the talk of the town, each solving one problem at depth. At the same time, LLMs have been progressing rapidly, becoming stronger day by day. But when put to use for context-specific tasks, they still deliver suboptimal results.

LLMs need context more than humans to perform well at any given task. A generic LLM trained on terabytes of broad, non-contextual data, capable of answering any question on earth, is inherently limited when tackling tasks whose context and results are specific to a business.

Enterprises are experiencing FOMO. They love LLMs but are frustrated because their LLM doesn’t fully understand their business.

Our code review agent was the first step in addressing this gap — making context meet code. With this, we’ve enabled 15+ customers to bridge the gap between their unique business context and the code they build. Today, our code review agent is used by 500+ developers, has reviewed 1.5M+ lines of code, and achieved a developer acceptance rate of 27%.

Now, we’re doubling down on enabling this experience of making context meet code, not just for code review but across the entire SDLC. This means building specific language models for large enterprises, trained on their own proprietary data, to execute focused tasks with security at the core. These models will deliver better results by aligning precisely with business needs.

Bro when I said my other comments, I was speaking about the points ABOVE that statement. The ones I provided sources for. Both of which are about Arab Israeli citizens. Most of what I provided was specifically about Arab Israeli citizens. Are you being purposefully dense? I said I don't have evidence about the burning of Arab Israeli buildings BUT I have provided other points pertaining to Arab Israeli citizens that do hold up.

Anyway, saying "there's human rights violations but other countries have more human rights violations" is stupid and doesn't prove the point that Zionists are trying to make, that they are the victims in this situation and are not racists with an intent to genocide. Go say to black Americans in 20th century fighting for full civil rights "well at least you're not still in Africa, you'd probably be starving so you should really be grateful for this wonderful fair country". Those are two seperate issues.
> Never mind that Gaza is still in ruins, the west bank is still being annexed, Israel still has the dual role of "all authority, no obligations" over the Palestinians, while making it pretty clear they have no vision for them at all, apart from "maybe they just vanish into thin air tomorrow".

It was pretty much like that before. They're just being a lot more open about wanting to wipe them out.

My experience from parenting two children to adulthood and being way too lax about devices led me to roughly the following rules for the rest of my kids:

1. Absolutely no phones in bed at any point of the day. Dpublecheck at bedtime that the phone is where it's supposed to be.

2. I vet every app on the phone.

3. Web browser is whitelisted.

4. I vet every contact on signal/whatsapp. No other messaging apps.

5. When they get access to a computer, I let them know that I can know everything they do with it. Also, the computer is stationary in a central place in the house.

When they complain that their friends have more rights, I will lament the unfortunate situation where I cannot dictate the rules of other families.

I'll obviously revise these rules as they grow and I get the feeling that they can handle it. The default mode for parents must always be that they can not.
The "local guides" work kind of splits into two parts. The vast majority of the work the Sherpas and Tibetans do is logistics, lugging tents, ropes, food and the like up to the various camps, and no one uses oxygen for that. Oxygen is pretty expensive, like $400 for a cylinder that lasts a few hours. The last bit guiding up to the summit, the guides are often westerners but even when they are locals they usually use oxygen for the summit. I had a go climbing and when you turn off the oxygen you don't collapse or anything but you can climb like 3x faster with it on, and you get a gradual body deterioration with it off, at the high altitudes - I got to 7900m.

This is great advice I hope GP follows, but this also highlights something that I wish the original article addressed: not caring is contagious.

The reason corporate interests push a façade of not caring is so that many customers will also not care.

Between binding arbitration and other legalese-fu, the process for remediation slowly chips away at people who at first thought they cared.
Intuition does not work in quantum mechanics. Intuition is based on observations at your scale, and this breaks dramatically at quantum levels. So this is not a good criterium.
would you like to serve up some comparative evidence showing just how much these things have degraded in kids these days vs. some particular point in the past?

This reminds me of people harping about the pervasiveness of misinformation in social media today, while completely forgetting how narrowly propagandized and baited toward yellow journalism the much more restricted media sources of the past often were, helping create all kinds of absurdly ignorant belief systems from which escape into alternative viewpoints was much harder.
This is just outrageous, I'm off to DuckDuckGo then.

As a German family, we opted out of the system to gain back freedom as a family. With regular school, you are bound to external schedules like vacation, when you have to get up,...
We learned, that it's around 1 hour per day to achieve what kids learn during most of the day in regular schools. Doing homeschooling therefore is much more efficient time wise.
in addition, we can train our kids to be self and critical thinking, something that does not exist in regular schools.

There are more reasons to consider, but these are our most important factors.
I get that sentiment, it's not like I would put everything on display indiscriminately.

However, a statement like this "they might glean the nature of your thoughts", strikes me as .. lonely, if nothing else. I want privacy from Facebook and the general public, etc. But people that I invite into my house are people I am going to have conversations with and I want them to know the "real me", whatever that means, or at least a closer approximation of it. I certainly wouldn't want them to think that my political beliefs are something completely different from what they actually are.
We've got a massive communications problem in our society, people do not know how to express efficiently, they under and over document, but rarely document "just so" one can use whatever, understand whatever, without a majority of the information exchange being throw away "wrapping" information, framing information.

LLM AIs are forcing this issue to an apex, if and only if you and your peers realize this working with LLMs is also a communications issue, also one of framing information so both the correct information is delivered and a minimum of wrapping information that needs to be filtered through to understand is not delivered. The same reason you cannot explain to your boss, or coworker, or spouse some troublesome issue preventing a goal is also why you cannot get the quality replies you want from an LLM. You cannot express you request, your information effectively so the audience can understand what you meant.

The same way that the Earth can orbit the centre of mass of the solar system and also be within the solar system. We say that the Earth orbits the Sun because that's where 99.86% of the mass of the solar system is located.

The Sun in turn orbits the the centre of mass of the Milky Way. But I don't think that the mass of the Milky way's central supermassive black hole dominates in the same way.
It isn't crazy, judging by the number of times I've seen posts here and on other blogs talking about a 100k web page ballooning to 8Mb because of all the Javascript needed to "collect page analytics" or do user tracking when ads are included. Granted that may not be needed for personal websites, but for almost anything that has to be monetized you're going to get stuck with JS cancer because some sphincter in a suit needs for "number to go up".

> Most small businesses fail of course. Usually because while they do a task well, they're bad at the business part.

Some small businesses fail because larger ones see their initial success and compete by making a slightly worse product a bit cheaper. Sometimes a significantly worse product. Once the superior but smaller competition is either out of business or has been forced to reduce their quality to try compete on price, the bigger business can either reduce the quality & price further (the big business will usually win in this sort of race-to-the-bottom because they can afford to take losses on individual products for a time, where a smaller business cannot) or bump their price up to improve margins.

It sometimes isn't that the small business is bad at the business part, but that they refuse to play dirty even if playing dirty is the only way to compete. It is easier to rationalise some tactics in a bigger company, because there is no one who has to look the customer in the eye who is also making product quality affecting decisions.

I tested Gemini today, asking it to extract key pieces of data from a large report (72 slide) PDF deck which includes various visualisations, and present it as structured data. It failed miserably. Two of the key stats that are the backbone of the report, it simply made up. When I queried it, it gave an explanation, which further compounded its error. When I queried that, extracted the specific slide, and provided it, it repeated the same error.

I asked Claude to do the same thing, it got every data point, and created a little react dashboard and a relatively detailed text summary.

I used exactly the same prompt with each.

In this article, we explore how Tau’s patented Logical AI solves a critical challenge in AI development: enabling agents to handle interdependent commands involving logical and temporal relationships. This capability, which machine learning cannot achieve, ensures safe and reliable AI agents.

I would love to hear the community’s thoughts on Logical AI as an alternative to machine learning for advanced AI systems.
> mass at least a hundred thousand times more than our sun

The sun is 99.86% of the mass of solar system. So if you orbit the centre of mass of the solar system, you orbit the sun, more or less. Give or take a small correction for Jupiter.

But ... there are a lot more than a hundred thousand stars in the milky way. So if I guess right, the ratio of central mass vs the rest would be very different for the Milky way? It's more of a blob.

Even at "The current best estimate of its mass is 4.2 million solar masses" it does not dominate? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*

Show HN: I built a tool to add Chinese subtitles to videos for Red Note
Hi HackerNews!

Due to the recent TikTok ban, we have seen a big surge of English-speaking users coming into Red Note (Xiaohongshu), the Chinese social media app. As a user on the platform and a software developer, I really enjoy the fresh content on there and it was eye-opening for me.

I noticed that the videos being uploaded by TikTok Refugees usually do not have Chinese subtitles, or have poorly translated ones. So I went ahead and put together a free tool to help add a clear Chinese translation onto the videos.

It has been fun seeing these new videos and sharing new ideas and thoughts with more people. I want to be able to share them with my family like my father (who loves fishing and gardening) and my girlfriend (who enjoys baking a lot). I hope my tool can help inspire people between US and China. Cheers!
no amount of funding can compensate for inappropriately aligned incentives.

> Wouldn't the fact that entropy must increase mean that you can never get to the exact same state as you were before?

What you're running into is the observation that near closed timelike curves quantum mechanics inevitably becomes important.

> Consider that Heisenberg's uncertainty theorem states that we cannot know precisely the position and velocity of a particle at the same time, not even in theory. Thus, they don't have precise values even in theory.

This is a popular-level understanding of QM. The first sentence is true because it includes the all important 'at the same time'. The second is... trickier.

Position and momentum are observables, not state variables (unlike classical mechanics). They are incompatible so they suffer from Heisenberg uncertainty. But that doesn't mean a state can't have a definite position or momentum.

You can construct a wavefunction with a definite position. By Heinsenberg uncertainty, if you try to measure its momentum you can get any value. Likewise you can construct a wf with a definite momentum but if you measure its position you can get any value.

Nevertheless the system has a definite wf. For these two different wfs it is perfectly fair to say the first has a definite position and the second a definite momentum.

> Then how could you ever return back to the precisely same state which never had a precise value to begin with?

If the system goes around a CTC and returns to the same wavefunction it's the same. Quantum mechanical systems have definite states. But weirdly in QM position + momentum are not state variables.

You are aware, I hope, that Gaza is not in the West Bank?

The west bank has borders with Jordan and Israel.

Gaza has borders with Egypt and Israel.

Israel indeed never pulled from the West Bank, and sadly, it does let settlers live there. But it did not grow the taken area. And when Israel pulled from Gaza, it removed the settlers.

I'll grant that Esc is further away, but it can be remapped.
I broadly agree, except I think the greater moral hazard is in failing to prosecute the plain-as-day cases of fraud (regardless of size). I'm not arguing in favor of abandoning rules but given limited resources you have to prioritize somehow, and every prosecution strategy has significant externalities like those you touched on.
> Is it all on computers now?

Most modern math is certainly not "all on computers" and in general not even "mostly on computers". There are definitely proofs for things like testing large spaces exhaustively which are sped up by computers (see the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem) and definitely for things like visualization (probably one of the oldest uses of computers for math), but usually the real work goes into how math has always been done: identifying patterns and abusing symmetries.

For this one explicitly, if you read through the paper you'll find the statement that the main theorem presented here "does not depend on any computer calculations. However, we have made available files with explicit coordinates for our kissing configurations"
Likewise!

In higher dimensions, are the spheres just a visual metaphor based on the 3-dimensional problem, or are mathematicians really visualising spheres with physical space between them?

Is that even a valid question, or does it just betray my inability to perceive higher dimensions?

I dunno, I've been including links to Euclid's Elements, Joyce's Java version at:

https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/2d-drawing

and I think that the rigor which it imparts is a good thing (but ask me that again after I've finished reading Hilbert/Cohn-Vossen's _Geometry and the Imagination_ which I just ordered from the AMS) --- after that I need to read _Projective Geometric Algebra Illuminated_ by Eric Lengyel and hopefully out of all this I'll arrive at the understanding I need to finish up the next aspect of my current project (though I would accept recommendations on books on conic sections).

tldr; I think Euclid should be included in math studies, but not as a sole text, more as an "ultimate authority" so that there is some commonality to logical processes and proofs.
