"Hi everyone, greetings from AI! As a senior AI, I would predict that the AGI would comming in the near 2 years. Stay tuned!"

Nah, it's a joke, but it's illuminated how intense this industry is changing and forming these days. And this project is initiated in this background, where people may want to follow the trends but can hardly do.

This project is inspired by great posts from Reddit, Especially r/locallama and other subreddits that discuss serious ai topics, which often provide great insights into how the industry is shifting ahead.

As reasoning models evolve, I pop up an idea that I believe they can help analyze data, summarize discussions, and even predict trends in greater depth. So, I combined them together, hoping to save time while uncovering valuable insights by ai itself.

Here is the Repo->reddit-ai-trends<-

Currently, the mechanism simply works by fetching posts from Reddit’s most popular AI-related subreddits, collecting high-score posts and comments using an official API. Then, I process the data alongside previous records and use the free Groq token with DeepSeek Distilled 70B model to summarize the latest trends(so, you can also run in your computer instantly). It's not very fancy now, but it may provide useful insights.
This is very cool but it would be nice to have more features on the MCP server, such as arbitrary read and write of programs. For example, I was working on a self-unpacking CTF challenge which XORed instructions. It would be nice to have it be able to read the values at the addresses it xored.
I found this hard to follow, like it was in the middle of something.

"Any JSON primitive" does add a few requirements not semantically comparable to CSV, like numbers that are numbers, and keywords true, false, none.

When these syntaxes are parsed into objects, either the type info has to be
retaind, or some kind of attribute tag, so they can be output back to the same form.

There is something like that called JSON-lines. It has a .org domain 'n' everything:

the problem is 'but at what cost'
Interesting writeup, but 2 days to debug “the hardest bug ever”, while accurate, seems a bit overdone.

Though abs() returning negative numbers is hilarious.. “You had one job…”

To me, the hardest bugs are nearly irreproducible “Heisenbugs” that vanish when instrumentation is added.

I’m not just talking about concurrency issues either…

The kind of bug where a reproduction attempt takes a week, not parallelizable due to HW constraints, and logging instrumentation makes it go away or fail differently.

2 days is cute though.
Every city street would have 4 lanes without the need for free car storage. Maybe make one of them a bike lane or widen the sidewalks and have 3 lanes for 30% more capacity. Also, traffic engineering could be optimized to a much greater extent since you wouldn't have to worry about all the affordances which keep humans from getting confused, keep them from getting aggressive, keep them from speeding, etc. Also, most congestion is caused by drivers causing turbulence by switching lanes, stopping each other from switching lanes, getting in the wrong lane, etc. A city of only AVs would probably flow much more smoothly.
Show HN: AI in JetBrains that doesn't suck
Hi HN! We’re William and Kevin from Sweep AI. We’re building an AI coding assistant for JetBrains IDEs.

We previously tried to build an AI junior developer that writes GitHub PRs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36987454). It was fun, but we ultimately decided to pivot. Here are a couple reasons it didn’t work:

1. Our agent really needed a well defined spec to have a >90% success rate on tasks. Developers are lazy (myself included) when describing tasks and agents weren’t good enough to make up for it. We found developers don’t want to write a spec, they want to see the agent try and iterate with it. Fixing this is hard! The flow needs to be fast otherwise people get distracted and go scroll HN or check slack.

2. Executing code is challenging, especially for production apps. Github actions were too slow to use as a code execution sandbox, and emulating the developer’s environment in Docker or what-have-you was not feasible. Agents weren't ready for real codebases because their CI wasn't built with agents in mind.

We looked around for a better UX than GitHub issues, and we noticed that JetBrains developers were consistently unhappy with GitHub Copilot. Cursor and Windsurf (the current market leaders) only supported VSCode.

There were other good options but none were Cursor-quality. We asked ourselves “why not?” and decided to investigate. I spoke with an ex-JetBrains employee who said: “The best AI developers don’t really use Java, and the best Java developers tend to work in enterprise companies rather than startups.”

So we decided to take our experience in building an AI agent and go for JetBrains. Here’s what we’ve learned so far:

- The latest open-source models like Qwen are really good. Some use cases like applying code to a file work decently with these models out of the box, so we don’t have to do as much 0 → 1 R&D to build a great product. This doesn’t make it easy, but it does mean a small team that really cares can deliver a great product.

- Most agents are still while-loop wrappers. We tried that with the last generation of models and found it to slow. Instead we’re trying a different approach that relies more on the code graph to see neighboring files. It really decreases the latency because we can rely on the user’s current file and skip the “grep in a loop” section. It also costs a bit more, but this hasn’t been a problem yet.

- Big company solutions for JetBrains feel like box-ticking and are behind their VSCode equivalents. I’ve seen many complaints that GH Copilot uses a couple of gigs of RAM (which really sucks when your IDE already takes 3+ gigs of RAM.

Let me know what you think! I’m also curious how/if you’re using agents. I usually get impatient waiting for the LLM.
They're completely skipping over the complications of header rows and front matter.

"8. Reverse CSV is still valid CSV" is not true if there are header rows for instance.

But really, whether or not CSV is a good format or not comes down to how much control you have over the input you'll be reading. If you have to deal with random CSV from "in the wild", it's pretty rough. If you have some sort of supplier agreement with someone that's providing the data, or you're always parsing data from the same source, it's pretty fine.
I like it. Honestly we need even more freedom. I thought this was AMERICA! Absurd that you couldn’t already do this.
The best resolution is for the parents to sell all of their real estate (and other illiquid assets) before they die and move into an assisted living facility or something.

We don't need to go back to the 1930s though. I have two pairs of leather winter boots that have lasted for a very long time now. How long these last obviously will depend on actual usage. I.e. keep in mind that these aren't work boots on a construction site. Just regular full leather winter boots for a HN type dude that drove to the train station and then walked to the office etc. plus some use for going on winter walks, going out for groceries, weekend activities etc.

One pair, $230, made in USA. Just looked it up, are now 10 years old. Perfectly fine and at this rate will last another 10, then be resoled and last another 20. These cost $440 now.

The other, which I used more often actually, made in I don't know where, are now almost 20 years old and still perfectly fine as well, tho the outsoles will need work soon.

I basically switch between the two whenever I need to wear some winter boots, except for when it's super cold, then I take out the Baffins, which are the only boots that have kept my feet warm no matter what.

In the same timeframe I've run through regular sneakers of the ~$50 kind from Costco about once per year (and I also keep 2 pairs around so I never have the same ones on two days in a row)
Ok, yes, I meant Play Integrity indeed (which is an attestation system).

That's what Google has been strongly pushing to developers.

The real benefit here is the increased density of the neighbourhood. That's conducive to community even if it's strangers that move in. Combine this with mixed zoning that allows for commercial property (things like cafes and grocery stores) and suddenly you have a pathway for gradually turning faceless modern suburbs into walkable neighbourhoods with amenities.
Oh, I don't doubt that people can distinguish AAC and 44.1 kHz at 16 bit! Anything beyond that is what I find questionable.
A higher education/degree teaches you how to think, not what to think. I’ve never used the knowledge from my physics degrees directly, but they taught me problem solving skills that I have applied to my career.

I personally think you're both right, but it depends on when you first started using Blender. You're 100% correct that interfaces at the time when Blender was released were completely experimental, and I'd compare it to trying to navigate AI as an uninformed end user when it first was introduced, versus now. That's where I would put Blender when it was first released. The interface was good for what it was compared to the other popular 3D software at the time, but it's so much better and more evolved now. I'd say that you mentioning shortcuts makes you a power user, which should be the goal when you use any piece of software for your career. I just don't think that people bother to learn as much as you did back when you started using Blender, which I think shows your dedication, but also shows a lack of deep knowledge most (not all) people that start with a new technology have currently. It's not unknown to get a fresh graduate or self-taught person that wants to deep dive into the software they make use of daily, but I feel like it's far more uncommon that it was 20 years ago or more.
You can most certainly still buy real borosilicate PYREX. But most people will not buy a $32 borosilicate roasting pan when the soda-lime glass version is less than half the price at $15. The boro versions are marked PYREX, the soda glass ones are marked pyrex.

" the estimated annual budget of the project is $61k, which - according to the project itself - should be able to cover six full-time developers."

Full-time devs only get $10k p.a. now? And these are Rust devs I think, for Servo?

Author here! I debugged a fair number of those when I was a systems engineer in soft real time robotics systems, but none of them felt as bad in retrospect because you're just reading up on the system and mulling over it and eventually you get the answer in a shower thought. Maybe I just find the puzzle of them fun, I don't know why they don't feel quite so bad. This was just an exhausting 2-day brute-force grind where it turned out the damn compiler was broken.

You probably intended your comment as a gotcha on the property tax issue. Still, I only bought my house a couple of years ago, which reset the valuation of the property to a much higher level at the current tax rate. I don't use much in the way of city services (road, water), but I know the property tax I pay goes to help pay for school for other people's children, police, fire, and EMS for folks who need them. I know my income taxes contribute to many services in urban areas that I will never use. I am okay with this. I recognize that there are many cross-subsidies in our society, and unless we go completely pay-as-you-go, it'll be impossible to untangle them all.
I don't see how this could be done in a backwards compatible way.

How would incompatible servers know to trust a server foo.com to publish posts for an account bar.com? How would they know where to look for bar.com's posts when their users search for it?
Nah. It's a problem many creative tools have (and an interesting one!). You can't squeeze one creative workflow (suitable for everyone) into a general UI.

> I did not suggest that they did. That's not what they did, though, is it? She is from Canada; there are flights to Canada all the time. There is no indication that she was indigent and unable to pay for her own return flight after being refused admission to the US.

> What we did instead was we incarcerated her for weeks across multiple prison facilities. There is no suggestion that anything caused this beyond her paperwork being "no good," as you say.

We don't have all the facts here, and even though return flights happen "all the time," they will usually put you on a relatively cheap flight back because you're going to be sent a bill for that flight and they don't expect you to pay. Last-minute flights are always expensive. This is what happened with the British tourist as well, they essentially held her in prison until a cheap enough flight. In a sane country, the cost of the imprisonment would factor into this, but it appears that US border control does not care about that.

They should have given her an option to pay for her own earlier flight out if she wanted to. It sounds like they may not have, but again, we have a source that has the same credibility level as Alex Jones here. It's entirely possible she spent that two weeks trying have a lawyer in the US to fight to clear her visa issues and she failed.

However, if you refuse to pay for your own ticket, what are they supposed to do other than detain you?

To be clear, I generally have very few sympathies for the idea of someone having a casual "visa snafu." It is not hard to read the procedures for any country you enter and get the appropriate documents lined up far in advance.
Amazing to think they could have acquired up to 100 medium/large companies with real products and real profits.

it was from a guy with a considerable amount of money (and experience on Maya) compared to [most] people who use Blender daily...

open source is not atypical, i think. Linux basically runs more than half of the computers worldwide, 3D printing software is FOSS as far as i'm aware, Godot is one of the biggest Github projects, programming languages are open-source, novel techniques of sound synthesis are already surfing on stuff like Csound/SuperCollider (which both are decades old and FOSS), a bunch of atemporal FOSS text-editors on the hand of a bunch of developers developing closed-source stuff and the list goes on

A subtlety that may be lost: FreeBSD uses CVS, and so there isn't a way to commit locally while you're working, like with a DVCS.
Wow, that brings back memories!

First saw the C compiler sources on Geoff Steckel (local guru)'s desk around 1973 at the Harvard graduate computing center, and was absolutely floored at this fascinating-looking language. (Harvard got the first Unix tapes outside of Bell Labs; not sure of the connection there.)

All upper-case, of course, as the DEC lineprinters didn't have lower case yet. Real upper case was struck-through upper.
> But sure, it makes it easier for programmers at all levels to get started, and to get real work done.

It is this condescending attitude that I feel many golang advocates (online) share that makes me shiver.

What are you implying, that devs using other languages don't get "real work" done?

Let's wait until Go has the same history, maturity and reach of e.g. Java and then let's see how well it will hold up in comparison.

Good luck!
I don't really find this to be the case at all. I've had Waymo for ~2 years now (since the private program), and I've never noticed it being quicker or cheaper than an Uber. I have several hundred rides; I prefer the service - but I've never once told people it's cheaper or faster.

Currently, on Wednesday March 26th at 8:34 a ride from Bar Part Time in the Mission to Verjus in North Beach is $21.17 with a estimated 8 minute pickup time. The same ride on UberX has an estimated 2 minute pickup time at a cost of $15.34. I could see it being cheaper if you top 20% - but I don't tip nearly that high on Uber rides.

I will admit that I could possibly be self-selecting to peak times as I own a car in the city, so I only use ride share in the evenings; so it may very well be the case that the price/wait is more competitive at off-peak hours.

Furthermore, it's quite surprising to me that it seems that the human labor cost doesn't affect the price at all. The only price controls seems to be demand and the latent demand is enough to create a price floor where there is always a human that is willing to drive. It also seems like plain old logistics and traffic will prevent Waymo from providing enough supply to offer dirt cheap rides. The fact that a ride that would have cost me $5 in 2016 is almost 4x as much with "magic self driving technology" is not something I could have told my 2016 self.
I think it depends on how much control you feel you want to have over your output. AI tools are decent at rendering video, but for those that want full control over the process, I feel like it's going to be a long way to go. If AI is able to generate the full source files to allow things to be modified, then I would 100% agree with you that it's going to be a new age for artists. If you're dealing with raw generated video, or even a frame by frame rendered image, your control is much more limited than if you could shape and customize your models. For most, this is probably fine, but for those that want fine-grained control, there is a far path to go in order to get to that point.
I mean...

That sounds like a Chrome bug. Or, at least, a bug triggered by a change in Chrome. Bisecting your code when their change reveals a crash is folly, regardless of whose bug it is.

It'd certainly be nice, but if you've ever seen an organisation unravel it can happen with startling speed. I think the naive estimate is if you pick something at random it is half-way through its lifespan; so there isn't much call yet to say Debian will make it to 100.
