At pace though? What would your throughput be to maintain 98% reliability? How long do you think one execution would take? my guess would be between 30s-1m for a single summation of two 100 digit numbers? So let’s say you want a sample size of 200 operations to estimate reliability… maybe something like 2-4hours to get through the computations working non stop? That’s actually a nontrivial amount of focus on a highly repetitive task, which isn’t easy for a lot of people. I’m now genuinely curious what the average HN user’s reliability and throughput would be for adding together two random hundred digit numbers working as fast as they can.
sorry for late comment, but the problem is clearer to me when considering it as resource control, rather than 'wealth'. Earning $60k gives you control of barely nothing. It would take 10's of millions of dollars just to have any effect on a small US city. It's a football field with 9995 people stuffed in an endzone and 5 people controlling the rest of the field.

You’re a victim of the disinformation establishment. Try to think critically, rather than emotionally - and base that critical thinking on reality instead of human narratives. One issue is that facts are only as good as their “authoritative” source.

One good example is the purported fascist salute. It’s been funny seeing the clips of so many on the Left (BHO, HRC, Harris, Trudeau and many more) making the exact same gesture with nary a peep from anyone.

Show HN: Groundhog AI Spring API
For anyone building weather-related AI apps, I am releasing an exciting iteration on last year’s model.

My Groundhog API is trained on 130 years of data and makes use of 82 separate data sources. Similar to DeepSeek, it is completely open source and free to use.

The primary use case is to make inferences about whether spring will come early or not, using a Mixture of Exports (MoE) approach, but surely others can be found if you are creative.

Other use cases:
- All predicting groundhogs
- Where they all live
- Whether they are “real” groundhogs or imposters

Excited to see what people do with it!
It seems like you've kind of missed both of my points.

If you're doing canary deploys to a fleet of 2000 nodes, it might take hours for the config to make it to all of them (I've seen systems where a fleet upgrade can take a week to make it all the way out). If your feature flags are configured that way, there's a long time that the state of a flag will be in that in-between state. We put feature flags in the database not config/environment so that we can turn a feature on or off more or less atomically. Ie, an admin goes into the management interface, flips a flag from off to on and then every single request that the system serves after that reflects that state. As long as you're using a database that supports transactions, you absolutely can have a clear point in time that delineates before/after that change. Rolling out a config change to a large fleet, you don't get that.

On the second point, what I'm saying is that (talk to your friendly local SRE if you don't believe me), a large percentage of production incidents in large systems are because of configuration changes, not application changes. This is because those things are significantly harder to really test than application code. Eg, if someone sets an environment variable for the production environment like `REDIS_IP=10.0.0.13` how do you know that's the correct IP address in that environment? You can add a ton of linting, you can do reviews, etc, but ultimately, it's a common vector for mistakes and it's one of the hardest areas to completely prevent human error from creating a disaster. One of the best strategies we have is to structure the system so you don't have to make manual environment/config changes that often. If you implement your feature flag system with environment variables/config, you'll be massively increasing the frequency that people are editing and changing that part of the system, which increases the chances of somebody making a typo, forgetting to close a quote, missing a trailing comma in a json file, etc.

Where I work we make production config changes maybe once a week or so and it's done by people who know the infrastructure very well, there's a bunch of linting and validation, and the change is rolled out with a canary system. In contrast, feature flags are in the database and we have a nice, very safe custom UI so folks on the Product and Support teams can manage the flags themselves, turning them on/off for different customers without having to go through an engineer; they might toggle flags a dozen times a day.

I spent a good chunk of the pandemic doing startup advisory, and some of that has lasted up until the holiday season, so I can tell you that there was a marked shift one or two years ago where the investment board I had a seat on decided to point blank stop looking at startups that were solely focused on AI, because even the non-technical board members realized that there was little to no added value there -- and we were getting like 70% of new prospects in that category.

I would go into a demo, look at it, ask them how they did RAG on the data, ask to speak to the people doing their AI models, etc. And then sometimes I would spend a couple of hours wiring up a Node-RED flow to show my colleagues how trivial it was.

The stuff we (now they, since I'm taking some time "off" that moonlighting gig to recover from burnout) ended up prioritizing are companies that focus on business processes where triage and "human augmentation" can actually benefit from LLM summarization, some automated decision making, and some data "integration" (not just summarization, but broad correlation of events, etc.)

There's a _lot_ to be done in many fields where, say, you will notice a spike in some piece of data (using conventional ML), gather the data around that event and present it to a human (with pros and cons, including trying to flag if the data is reliable). Think GitHub issues for crop management, and you're halfway there.

_Those_ companies really need to have their use cases sorted out, and not just try to be "the Uber for greenhouse management" because they wrapped weather forecasts into an LLM.

So, in short, the real added value is expediting or improving use of domain expertise captured from (or still held by) humans.

My rent is paid through a company called Bilt.

I discovered that when I shop at Walgreens now, Bilt sends me an email containing the full receipt of what I bought like so:

> $3.50
>
> +3 pts
> Other items*
> EXCLUDED ITEMS
> $0.07
>
> *May include rewards-ineligible items and/or prescriptions.

Ostensibly (hopefully) it would exclude sensitive items, plan B, condoms, etc...

I'm curious how this data flows from Walgreens to my rent company, but maybe I'd rather not know and just use cash/certified check from now on.
Ugh. Eye roll on the whole “make the world better”. So few SV products remotely make the world better. The purpose of the vast majority is to make money at all costs. I also disagree with what most people claim is making the world better. All in all, I think social media is a net negative for the world for any good that might be found. Every SV thing after that is just chasing the recketship to the moon dream.

> And as the article points out, in a D-T reactor, you still need to produce tritium because it's basically not naturally occurring in a way that can be gathered. That means a fission breeder reactor. That fuel isn't free.

It doesn't require a fission breeder reactor. All DT schemes imagine a blanket where they breed their own tritium, and produce enough to start additional DT reactors. Some imagine a startup phase where they run just on DD for a few months, with Q < 1, to make enough tritium to start up. If fission had to be used to make all the T then DT fusion would be a complete nonstarter economically.
There is a certain amount of overhead in servicing an account whether it has $5 in it or $500,000 in it. A $5 account doesn't give the bank much to loan while a $500,000 gives the bank lots of money to loan out. So the bank would rather have 100 $500k accounts than 100 $5 accounts. The fees help make the bank willing to maintain the $5 accounts.
AI – What Would Einstein Do?
I think a big part of the ability of these shady companies pulling the brightest minds away from more clearly beneficial fields is that important flavors of ideology necessary to motivate people to take less lucrative work have been stripped from "business". There's a lot fewer appeals to art, history, cultural stewardship, or empire-building present in things like transportation, medicine, construction, etc. than there were in the past. Any flavor of "for the glory of God/the nation/the People/the Art" etc. is pretty effectively stripped out of American business, and I think that's the only kind of thing that would motivate someone who could make $250k in Adware to make $100k in something else.

People are now very well-trained to look out for their own bottom line, and take jobs accordingly.
Some people make bizarre claims they're a scam, but (in addition to being libelous) that's as unsupportable as claiming now they will succeed.

My position is they're the least dubious of all the fusion efforts, and have a very clever design that offers the plausible possibility of avoiding some of the engineering and economic showstoppers confronting DT fusion. Of course no pudding can be eaten before it's cooked, and no reactor design can be counted on before it's proved.

No, but you described a `cp` command, not an LLM.

"Creativity" in the sense of coming up with something new is trivial to implement in computers, and has long been solved. Take some pattern - of words, of data, of thought. Perturb it randomly. Done. That's creativity.

The part that makes "creativity" in the sense we normally understand it hard, isn't the search for new ideas - it's evaluation of those ideas. For an idea to be considered creative, it has to match a very complex... wait for it... pattern.

That pattern - what we call "creative" - has no strict definition. The idea has to be close enough to something we know, so we can frame it, yet different enough from it as to not be obvious, but still not too different, so we can still comprehend it. It has to make sense in relevant context - e.g. a creative mathematical proof has to still be correct (or a creative approach to proving a theorem has to plausibly look like it could possibly work); creative writing still has to be readable, etc.

The core of creativity is this unspecified pattern that things we consider "creative" match. And it so happens that things matching this pattern are a match for pattern "what makes sense for a human to read" in situations where a creative solution is called for. And the latter pattern - "response has to be sensible to a human" - is exactly what the LLM goal function is.

Thus follows that real creativity is part of what LLMs are being optimized for :).
So, a historical question - did these terms such as “pregnant person” get introduced by administrative diktat or by gradual evolution? I’m curious about the provenance of such terminology.

You would think that the training set for the models already included enough of Mensa etc iq tests so that the model knows how to do these kinds of tests. It takes humans 2 or at most 3 examples to "get" what the test is asking for, and then they can start filling the answers to the actual questions. Meanwhile it takes hundreds of answers at least (in the public set) to train o3 to do this test.

The need for a huge training set to solve simple questions has never stopped bewildering me. I think to get a human-like intelligent model we need to figure out why humans learn from 2 examples and the models don't. But I don't mean to say that the current models aren't intelligent in their own way or aren't useful already.

This is teleologically false.

Does the harvesting app care to spend the money on doing that?
Iron rods from heaven is a fun idea, but it's very unlikely to be a practical weapon. It's not hard to change the orbit (and thus the landing spot) of an object in space that is small enough for us to control. And no country will allow any other country to store weapons in orbit, as soon as someone put one there, it would get blown out of the sky.

The reason we have ICBMs is that we can store them safely on the ground, and launch them on an unpredictable trajectory, with minutes of travel time to their destination, preferably launched in a swarm that makes them even harder to track and individually stop.
I get where you’re coming from, but the distinction is pretty straightforward: Hollow is the platform, and plugins are extensions that users install separately. The open source requirement for verified plugins isn’t about fairness between the platform and developers, it’s about ensuring transparency for users when they install third-party extensions.

That said, not all plugins have to be open source, developers are free to create private or commercial plugins, and they will still be available inside the app. They just won’t carry the verified label, which exists purely to help users make informed choices.

Nah. Literary AI slop has pretentious, overintelectualized tone while usually having scarcely any content. It's like that because most of what humans wrote is like that. You, as a technical person, usually have very little exposure to such writing because you usually read technical things or at least things that have some content and not so many bland embellishments.

Code is more bearable because most code humans wrote is more or less on point.
