I can't count the number of times I've had a support person confidently tell me something that is obviously not applicable to my problem and makes completely flawed assumptions about cs/physics/networking/logic.

I get a lot of correct answers from llms, but sometimes they make shit up. Most of the time, it's some function in a library that doesn't actually exist. Sometimes even the wrong answers are useful because they tell me where to look in the reference docs. Ask it to search the web and cite sources, makes it easier to verify the answer.

I don't appreciate what's going on with AI art and AI generated slop, but the idea that they aren't a useful tool is just wild to me.
I took inspiration from GitDiagram.com but pass a "richer" description of the codebase into the LLMs based on info from tree-sitter. It generates explanatory diagrams quite OK, but this is only a first step.
However, there is a plethora of instances where the wealthy have addressed these issues, not out of the goodness of their hearts, but in search of revenue.
But like, the expert also knows that the middle-of-the-bell-curve engineer makes mistakes and knows not to blindly trust their code; meanwhile, the person who is "incompetent at a topic" could be seen literally hiring the middle-of the-bell-curve engineer either as a tutor or a consultant... so I don't think trusting them when you are in that position is fair to call a "fallacy".

On the tech side ... no idea what Mongo's plan is ... their embedding model is not SOTA, does not even outperform the open ones out there, and reranking is a dead end in 2025.

I think the value is on Voyage's team, their user base and having a vision that aligned with Mongo's.

Congrats!
The “royal we” is common for single author academic work. I’m honestly unsure why. StackExchange seems to think it refers to both author and reader together. I think it conveys a sort of distance from the author, giving the writing less of a personal and more general tone.

The idea of 28 bulbs hanging off a ceiling fan sounds hilarious. Good on you though for finding what works and getting it done.
No problem. Like I said, its easy to think that since they are both unixy-systems and a lot of things "rhyme" that a solution that works for one, works for the other. But that they in fact have different design and development philosophies. And this is even true amongst the BSDs themselves. NetBSD, from boot code to the top of the stack is developed independently from FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly, and vice-verse. Now, they will take ideas and re-implement them into their own stack, but they don't necessarily share code directly.
Not really. While I prefer rails’ stance of “you can’t pay me for my open source”, laravel having a commercial model around developer tooling made them at least more responsive to their community’s dx wishes.

Still, for me, having a fully open source first party tool like kamal is much better than a commercial offering, no matter how convenient it may be.
Third time! It’s good. I like reading these kind of stories so I resubmit if they don't get attention.
Why does the government care? People start companies for many reasons and capital amount is a matter for them. There are many small businesses that do not require 25k to start.

Ultimately the state should make it as cheap and straightforward as possible, get out of the way basically, and let people get on with it. It's difficult to find a reason to do differently
One way you can do that is to bring the business stakeholders into the discussion. This will help uncover implicit assumptions that may be being made about business needs. The business stakeholders can also help determine how the pros/cons of each solution impact the business and which they're more comfortable with. Business stakeholders won't be able to discuss technical merits, but they can discuss business impacts. This is also a great opportunity to build rapport with your business stakeholders because they learn you're not just a cog in the machine cranking out code. They learn the things to think about and see you more as a valued partner rather than a line item than can be cut to reduce expenses.

Yes - but they paint with a big brush. Unfortunately legitimate repair and reuse is caught in the mix and made much more difficult.
This is a sort I use all the time. Especially in coding challenges (AoC) because I'm usually lazy. It's nice to see it formally evaluated, it feels very intuitive to me.

I'm getting the impression that this worked becaused the LLM had hoovered up all the previous research on this topic and found a reasonable string of words that could be a hypothesis based on what it found?

I think we are starting to get to the root of the utility of LLMs as a technology. They are the next generation of search engines.

But it makes me wonder, if we had thrown more resources towards using "traditional" search techniques on scientific papers, if we could have gotten here without gigawatts of GPU work spent on it, and a few years earlier?

The US forcing all government agencies to use open source software would save taxpayers money. Additionally — in tandem with other countries following suit — the policy would create the incentive for governments to contribute to OS development, and thus, the OS community would not need to rely so heavily on industry for Linux development, dismantling your implication that OS software is contingent on big-tech’s existence.

Switzerland already has a policy that all government agencies need to use open source software so the policy I mention isn’t a pie-in-the-sky theoretical.

No, they don’t. Virtually all drug sales are conducted in person or by mail with cash or Venmo/Cashapp, at least for weed, cocaine, fentanyl, meth; which covers 99% of drug transactions.

I’ve never met anyone who has bought drugs on the dark web and I know more drug dealers than most people.

Weed finds it way to the people who need it from the people that grow it through a network of middlemen/brokers. Cocaine, meth, and fentanyl wholesaling is pretty much cartel dominated.

Unsure about other drugs, I know online is a common way that obtain LSD (and other psychedelics like 5-MeO-DMT, 2CB) but I’ve always bought it in person.

Show HN: Forage Mail – AI that declutters your inbox with a clean daily summary
Hi HN, we’re Richie, Eni, Elton, and Cynthia, and we’re building Forage Mail (https://foragemail.com), an AI that filters your incoming mail, removes low-priority emails from your inbox, and then sends you a daily summary email that includes a TLDR of every newsletter you received.

You can start using Forage in just 30 seconds by connecting your Gmail account. Forage will start by filtering the last 3 days of email and creating your first daily summary. Then it will continue monitoring for incoming mail. Forage AI labels every email and then handles it according to your rules. You can choose to Keep in Inbox, Summarize, or Mute any category—or you can create custom rules for specific senders.

LLMs give us an opportunity to completely rethink our relationship to email. While most AI email agents are focused on drafting replies and automating responses, we decided to focus on the >90% of email that doesn’t need a reply. Surely there’s a better way to consume all this information and stay on top of notifications and newsletters—and we think we found it!

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM9X4DhtlJk

There were two moments that stand out from our early experimentation on this project:

1 — During early product research, we asked the question, “how do you feel about your email inbox?” and most people responded with audible groans, sighs, or eye rolls.

2 — We originally created an AI that only filtered newsletters and summarized them. Early testers liked the results, but admitted that it was “yet another email” in their inbox. So we sat down with them and looked through their inboxes. Then we realized, we could do something about most of these emails.

…and maybe, in the space we create in their inbox, we could build something truly new and exciting.

Forage is Google Verified, has passed a required security audit, and is requesting the minimum permissions necessary to deliver our advertised features. We were surprised to learn that Google doesn't separate the permissions for sending emails and managing emails (labeling, archiving, marking read). But we don’t have any features that send emails from your account.

Excited to share Forage Mail with everyone here on HN. Please let us know what you think!

Many aren't. For many it's just a job and they'd happily take a job in another field with better pay and benefits. But that's not super common right now. For the last 20 years dev jobs have been some of the cushiest available.

If its more than 'just a job', there aren't lots of options that are similar. You get problem solving, system design, and working in a mostly abstract space. You can find other careers with 2 of those things fairly easily, but all 3 is somewhat unique. And when you find all 3, the pay and benefits aren't comparable (pure math careers come to mind).

What other careers would you suggest?
Interesting comment.

I do a lot of numerical programming. When developing programs based on optimization, in particular, a similar robustness-to-error property happens. Your implementation can have bugs, but it's generally hill-climbing, and so often the results generally look OK.

If you really want to verify correct operation, you have to construct hard cases, or compare with another implementation, or look at intermediate state variables, or examine the cost function at very high numerical precision, to detect trouble. Run-of-the-mill inputs will not tickle the bug hard enough to notice.

I think performance per watt is way in Apple's favor, but raw performance is not.

That said, an M4 Ultra (extrapolating from Max and Pro) would likely compete with my 3090, and with 192GB of memory (for 10x the amount it should cost) will out perform my 3x3090 AI server. And honestly, cost less than my 3 3090s + rest of the computer + electricity.

It won't outperform a bunch of A/H 100s (or even a single one, or any other cards in the enterprise realm) though, but it will cost an order of magnitude less than a single card.
> Those who failed to pivot pronouns were frequently labelled as transphobic, but the reality is tons of folks already struggle massively with grammar in general. Insisting that a traditionally plural term represents just a single person broke their brains. Since people dislike both grammar and self-examination, they just turned away.

The bit reminds of an unhinged (in a bad way) British comedian going off the French sentence, "Je m'appelle John." having the literal translation, "I am called John", referring to yourself in the 3rd person.

As interesting as grammar and how we talk about ourselves is, most non-normative pronouns at this point are they/them. Not hard. I can't even remember peoples' names, how the hell am I going to remember their pronouns?

I just call everyone they.
Stochastic calculus is like ordinary calculus in that it is most useful when one time is like another except for a few variables that describe a state, and least useful when one time is unlike another.

Because you have as many questions (loci) as you have segments that you can reasonably expect to divide time into (changing the time of death by 1/50th of a mouse lifespan would be impossible to detect unless I am wrong?), and because the time intervals are not that numerous, and also because you wouldn't really have a model for the interaction of the state variables and would be using model-free statistical methods, I think you would get all of the value there is to get out of noncontinuous methods.
Click on a comment's time stamp (e.g., "12 hours ago"). On that page you should have a "flag" button (if your karma is above 31, IIRC).
Instead if they rightly just said it is an useful tool to be used by researchers to help them like a smart calculator for big data, it would be so much more honest and correct.
The problem with taxes is that it's a prisoner's dilemma. You need global cooperation at some base level of taxes, otherwise companies move to more favorable tax jurisdictions in the long term and offshore from there, which would hurt the US even more. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, but any marginal dollar of increased taxes in one place will have some non-zero effect of encouraging the next investment dollar to be spent elsewhere.

To be clear, I do think capital gains taxes are criminally low in the US relative to income tax, so I'm not arguing in _favor_ of lower taxes. I'm just saying why raising taxes isn't a panacea.
So with each passing day I’m being forced to face the cruel reality which darkly looms: My country, the United States of America, is basically speed-running its way towards collapse. What does that look like? I can’t give you specifics, but I know for a fact that short of a sudden and abrupt change to either our leadership or the political institutions our leader has surrounded himself with, the world that we know and take for granted is about to come to an end.

Before I continue, I want to make one thing exceptionally clear: I’ve spent weeks thinking about what to write in this post. I have struggled with finding the right words and the right thoughts to clearly relay my ideas here. I have spent even more time trying to codify and validate those ideas for myself. As a writer who essentially has a front row seat to this horror show, I am awash in conflicting emotions that simultaneously are begging for my attention. It’s hard to not write about this topic emotionally. Very hard. That being said, I believe I have my thoughts organized enough and that I’ve spent enough time thinking this through, to accomplish my objective.

So what is my objective? My objective is to redefine the parameters for the upcoming civil war. Yes, I absolutely believe that’s where we are headed. But as it stands right now, I believe that the battle lines have been incorrectly defined. I believe this circumstance is the result of decades of propaganda and efforts on the part of the actual perpetrators in an effort to channel the easy to predict violence in a direction that points away from them.

So who are the perpetrators? That’s easy: The insanely rich. Trump is one. Musk is another. The big tech CEOs who lined up to show fealty on inauguration day are also included. A thousand others who you don’t see hamming up for the cameras are also to blame. These are the people who have laid the groundwork for the horrors we are currently experiencing and for the civil war we will all soon be taking part in. But if that war was to be fought today, it wouldn’t be fought between us and the billionaires who have spent decades embezzling every bit of money and resources they could get their grubby hands on. Rather it will fought between the relatively poor people who are all actually the victims of their charade.

The part of Siri that causes the most trouble is the speech recognition - which uses a voice recognition model that we now colloquially refer to as "AI." The part that works reliably, the part that sets your alarm or sends the message, is an action that's hardcoded.

IMO, moving towards AI just leads to increased uncertainty and undesirable outcomes, which is something several journalists reviewing Apple Intelligence have attested to.

... this is getting personal, this is being knowingly crass, this is universally offensive (albeit fairly mild), and I have extremely serious doubts that in Greek being told that people are fucking tired of your behavior is "just voicing one's opinion".

You also have to appreciate that this is from an email. You don't type out an email like this and hit send without being really quite content with it. I cannot personally imagine sending an email (or even a text message) like this to anyone at work, for example, and there have been times where they definitely would have deserved this and then some.

There are communities and workplaces where this type of communication is the norm, yes, and it used to be especially common in the past (and from what I know, still often is in blue collar jobs). This is true both in and outside of America.

I'm not from America, I'm from Central-Europe. I know what being "direct and upfront" is like, and this is not that. This is just being a twat. Language like this is never productive or acceptable in any culture, and it's not some American mind-virus spreading around the world that made people figure they can and should afford to have standards regarding their interactions with one another.

If anything, the trendy bit here is the opposite, where people seem to make a sport out of mischaracterizing being crass as saying hard truths. Just like how cynicism is often mistaken as intellectualism, this is also utterly misguided, and Linus is being washed of his personal faults out of respect, not because he's not at fault in reality.
