> truly generative UI, where the model produces the next frame of the app

Please sir step away from the keyboard now!

That is an absurd proposition and I hope I never get to use an app that dreams of the next frame. Apps are buggy as they are, I don't need every single action to be interpreted by LLM.

An existing example of this is that AI Minecraft demo and it's a literal nightmare.

It's very hard to find good books written by humans. GoodReads is okay, but you quickly run out of high-end recommendations. I read mostly sci-fi, and the books that everyone recommends rarely end up being 10/10. But then I see some random recommendation on Reddit or HN, and it ends up being amazing.

Human-generated slop is real.
There are some depending on the number of ports you're after. I'm not sure if it would run directly on Poe, but maybe PoE could be converted to USB power to run something like a GL-iNET device or something that sized.

A unipolar world is not inevitable. We could have a multipolar world with various regional power blocs. If that leads to less war, it's a good thing.
Your first paragraph there is about how life spreads around on a planet once it's arisen. It doesn't have anything to do with the chance of life arising in the first place. We have evidence of precisely one origin of life event -- all life on Earth looks to derive from a common ancestor (called "LUCA").

We don't know how common OoL is on a planet like Earth. We cannot use the fact it occurred here to conclude it's likely, since if it didn't occur here, we wouldn't be here. Our mere presence to ask the question biases the observation. The less likely it was, the more biased the observation.

Second paragraph: what is this supposed tendency of nature not to repeat itself? The universe is full of objects that are unique arrangements of atoms, not repeated anywhere else. Indeed, all but extremely small objects are very likely to not recur. So this supposed universal property of repetition doesn't appear very universal. Proposing that Origin of Life is in the subset of phenomena that do repeat is just begging the question.

As for "what basis is there for thinking it can not exist anywhere else?", that question is relevant only if I were asking you to believe life is not common, not if I were asking for justification of statements that it is common. The opposite of belief in X is not belief in (not X)!
I don’t disagree with any of your particular points, but I think you’re missing the forest here: their argument is primarily based in empirical results, not a theoretical framework/logical deduction. In other words, they’re trying to explain why LLMs work so well for decoding human neural content, not arguing that they do!

I think any reasonable scientist would a-priori react the same way to these claims as claims that neural networks alone can possibly crack human intuition: “that sounds like sci-fi speculation at best”. But that’s the crazy world we live in…
Authors tell stories they want to tell and Readers read stories they want to read. The two don't necessarily overlap or overlap strongly enough. If you're even a little bit specific (nowhere near as specific as the above prompt, even just something like the dynamic between protagonists) then you don't actually have 10,000s of actual human written books. Not even close. Maybe it exists and maybe you'll find it good enough but if it's only been read by a few hundred or thousand people ? Good luck getting it recommended.

I've read a LOT of fiction. I love reading. And if it's good enough, the idea of reading something created by a machine does not bother me at all. So of course i will continue to see if the machine is finally good enough and i can be a bit more specific.
So its neuronal activity from intercranial electrodes, during an active conversation. And, they found there are causal chains type patterns in the neuronal activity to produce the speech (and presumed thought) in the conversation which compare "favourably" with the LLM.

Ok. I buy it. The sequencing necessary to translate thought to words, necessarily imposes a serialisation which in consequence marshalls activity into a sequence, which in turn matches the observed statistically derived LLM sequences.

I tend to say the same things. I often say "this AGI is bullshit" and the ocurrence of Bullshit after the acronym AGI is high. I would be totally unsurprised if the linear sequence of neuronal signalling to both think, and emote as speech or even "charades" physical movements to say "AGI is bullshit" would not in some way mimic that of an LLM, or vice versa.

Show HN: I built a Reddit MCP server for faster and better research in Claude
tl;dr: I built a Reddit MCP server to make LLM-based research tasks faster and more accurate — especially for use cases where up-to-date or subreddit-specific info matters.

I’ve been bouncing between LLMs for "deep research" tasks lately — trend discovery, digging into niche use cases, finding the right community for topic <X>. Reddit usually has the best signal for these, but getting reliable results from an LLM is tricky.

A few recurring issues:
- Hallucinated subreddits: even with simple questions like “What’s the best subreddit for <X>?”, models often return made-up names.
- Knowledge cutoffs: LLMs miss recent or trending content and topics, even when it’s easy to find on Reddit (try asking Claude what MCP is…)
- Slow web tools: ChatGPT’s “Deep Research” and similar products can work to get up to date info, but they’re slow — often taking 5+ minutes to answer anything but the most trivial queries.

To make this faster and more consistent, I built a plug-and-play MCP server that connects directly to the Reddit API. It exposes a small set of structured tools (search, fetch, browse) that LLMs can use to retrieve Reddit posts and comments in real time. It’s read-only for now to prevent any unintended side effects, but I might add write access in the future.

Here’s a demo showing a request that a regular LLM without any tools simply could not complete at all, and a tool like ChatGPT Deep Research will take >5 mins and return worse results: asking the model to find highly upvoted comments in niche LLM subreddits. Demo video (sped up ~3x to reduce file size): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a2e9f2dd-a9ac-453...

The model runs a toolchain with a set of structured queries first to identify “niche” subreddits, then looks for promising posts and comments, and iterates on this until it thinks it’s satisfied the original request. It then returns a grounded answer — all in <2.5 minutes.

You can run this locally with Claude Desktop or any other MCP client (I actually use it with AutoGen -- example in the repo) — just plug in your Reddit API keys and go. There’s more in the README if you want to try it out, and I’m happy to provide any help as the MCP ecosystem is… not mature yet. Despite being a professional software engineer, building an MCP server was a total PITA so happy to pay it forward and help anyone in need of some guidance for anything they’re building.

Would love feedback — especially if you’ve been working on research tools, using MCP in novel ways, have a use case for this, or things you want to see in this space.

A few things come to mind:

1. Posthog is the new kid on the block, so I think there is some level of belief that this newer version of what we already had will be better somehow. In line somewhat with your idea that this could be just a perception, and perhaps not a permanent shift.

2. The fact that it is built by a smaller team that doesn't need to define the product analytics category from scratch likely means product iteration will go faster, i.e. more features/fixes more often, and perhaps a more exciting roadmap. Posthog can stand on the shoulders of giants without being weighed down by all the tech debt that got the industry where it is today.

3. Posthog's pricing is much more up-front about what you'll be charged for; Amplitude & Mixpanel lean a bit more into the "contact us" flow aimed at enterprise orgs.

4. Posthog is open source, so if you wanted to, you could start with their hosted service and perhaps one day move to on-prem if your organization prefers that.
Not a criticism, but It stands out how all the researchers or employees in these videos are non native English speakers (i.e. not American).
Nothing wrong with that, on the contrary, it just seems odd that the only American is Altman.
Same thing with the last videos from Zuck, if I recall correctly.

What's interesting is the speaker in the poem is predicting their own inevitable ("with a sigh") reality distortion field, i.e. is being cynical about themself. So it is a poem about self-serving bias, despite the fact that we are perfectly capable of checking ourselves. Our biases aren't entirely subconscious. We can be willful about it, willfully look the other way so our biases remain "subconscious" and thus not our responsibility, making it easier for our conscious side to convince itself that its self-esteem is legit.

And then there is a meta-confirmation of this bias: The way people commonly interpret this poem. If Frost had that in mind all along, then he/the poem is genius.

Although it's a very lazy practice, this is exactly how many Japanese sites (and internet services) fight against bad actors. In short, they block non-Japanese traffic and data center IPs. I expect these measures to become insufficient as consumers adopt IoT devices and provide ample amounts of residential IPs for botnets.

As for phone numbers, businesses and individuals employ a similar strategy. Most "legitimate" phone numbers begin with 060 or 070. Due to lack of supply, telcos are gradually rolling out 080 numbers. 080 numbers currently have a bad reputation because they look unfamiliar to the majority of Japanese. Similarly, VoIP numbers all begin with 050, and many services refuse such numbers. Most people instinctively refuse to answer any call that is not from a 060 or 070 number.

We wanted to use Ractors in our latest Ruby project (which is Rust based using rb-sys/magnus for some parts), but since our users use Google Protobuf inside the code that may run in Ractors, we could not because the library is not Ractor safe[0] (and it's unreasonable for us to ask our users to not be able to use the official Protobuf library).

Nobody else is seeing how it is not convoluted.

A proof is already logical steps to get from proposition A to proposition B. What you're requesting is that it should be replaced with logical steps to get from a value of type A to a value of type B, where types A and B aren't ordinary object-class types suck as "pencil" or "employee" or "goblin", nor ordinary data-structure types such as "pair(int, list(string))", but (in most cases) some completely abstract labels that you made up in order for this mapping to work. You have a cool demonstration of disjunction elimination, which of course is no simpler than actual disjunction elimination, but how will you prove something non-constructive like "x mod 2 = 0 → not (x mod 4 = 1)" in your system, and how will it not be more complicated than proving it without your system?

You mentioned passing in axioms as extra assumptions, like the law of the excluded middle. In programming terms, the law of the excluded middle is a magical function that, for every type T, returns an Either<T,Not<T>> - Not<T> being one of those made up types that only exist to make the correspondence work and don't actually mean anything. If you're working with Not you presumably also want a function that takes any Not<Not<T>> and returns a T. In programming terms this is completely unimplementable and meaningless so I'm not really sure why you think it would be useful.

It seems like you might be suffering from fuckarounditis: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43466252
Sounds like you want the model to consider the whole body of poetry it was trained on minus "The Road Not Taken"? (To get rid of preconceptions/biases I guess?)

I'm skeptical that LLMs have the ability to conditionally silence part of their training data in that way because they don't have any information on the provenance of their weights (i.e. they don't have a ledger of which weights were affected by which data points in the training process). I suspect that your prompt serves as a hint that the output with the highest likelihood is probably wrong, activating some sort of "contrarian" subnetwork or "second guess" subnetwork that steers predictions away from whatever would have had the highest likelihood otherwise.
Wrong. Their profile clearly states high school teacher. Why assume?

> At that point, Romney had to win every remaining state to win. Florida was no more important than any other state that still hadn't declared a result. Whatever one came next would determine the result.

When that diagram was created, the election hadn't even started yet, so they didn't know who would actually win Florida. The 1/255 number was contingent on Romney losing Florida (i.e., it was a hypothetical outcome the user could click through). But when they didn't know yet who would win Florida, it was still 76 ways for Romney and 431 ways for Obama.

Anyway, Florida was very important for the result regardless of the chronological order. Suppose that Florida's result was called first, in favor of Obama. Then one more state for Obama would seal the election in his favor, and everyone could call it a day and go home.

On the other end, suppose that Florida's result was called last, and Obama won at least one state beforehand, but not too many. Then everyone would have to wait for Florida in order to know the overall outcome: its result would be absolutely necessary.

> There's no way of determining from that image how many electors each state contributes, just lots of arrows and a red/blue outcome.

Well, if people really wanted to work out the math by hand, they could look it up. But states are called one at a time, so people are naturally interested in 'subsets of states' that can singlehandedly seal the election one way or the other.
I really don't. Every attempt at an online local community just ends up gathering gigakarens, racists, and complainers.

It seems so obvious now that social media as an entire concept is rotten and that the best way to connect with your community is to actually go outside and talk to people face to face.

The assumption that data visualization innovation is declining needs more evidence. Regardless the article asserts it’s true then contorts itself arguing for it.

As others have said - the “patterns” have been invented & some pretty good stuff is now out there. For example:

- https://acko.net/tv/toolsforthought/

- https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/

- https://ciechanow.ski/bicycle/

- many science & data exploration youtube channels

There’s less need to create completely new techniques after the Cambrian Explosion is over, we already have a baseline of patterns & can draw from them & it’s less work. That doesn’t look as much like innovation but has plenty of value.

Even cooler: thanks to dataviz folks past and present, plenty of visualization libraries exist, almost all are open source, and they work spectacularly well. Give your data to any reasonably new reasoning LLM; ask it something like “write some code to visualize the story that’s in this data”, and prepare to be wowed at what it can produce.

Some examples:

- https://x.com/omarsar0/status/1894164720862523651

- https://x.com/christiancooper/status/1881345352235954322

- https://reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1ja1yal/claude_37_son...

The takeaway is be careful assuming something went away. Maybe new stuff is still happening but is a minority of the overall stuff that exists.

There’s great data viz out there, none of which has gone away & all of which can be used as a starting point without inventing from scratch. The “invention rate” declining is part of the cycle.
