Weird question that popped into my mind (not a judgement on this), but is there a similar jump in prosecutions for vehicular manslaughter or are these "whoopsie'd" away? Seeing today's distracted drivers, driving their…
I don't want to pile onto the conspiracy thinking but I was just wondering how Anthropic was going to foot the bill for the clearly larger and more expensive model being run on millions of Claude Code subscriptions,…
This was one of the more amusing things I noticed very early on. I (and countless others) used AI to write war sims. The second I added nuclear silo construction; the next run was instantly nuclear Armageddon. One could…
No offense but your responses sound like AI or engagement farming. I think the "why are these rules good" is self-evident to anyone who read the comment.
On the one hand, this feels very pragmatic. On the other hand, it feels like what people who weren't great software engineers say. It's kind of a craft. I can't imagine an exceptional artist saying "screw the craft, I…
This is the first time I saw a model pop-up on HN and didn't really care. Model exhaustion? It looks interesting but not exciting. While I'd normally _love_ incremental improvements --- I think the recent ones are far…
I'm not an Alexa user myself but I have watched my wife interact with it for around 5years now. The new Alexa powered by an LLM is objectively better that previous Alexa in a few ways. This much was apparently from day…
This has been my approach and of course what you lose is the "random and surprising" (maybe good) but also the "evolutionary" aspect. So, if you write strong tooling (even with AI) around the connection points - you can…
Why would I want non-deterministic behavior here though? If I want to max uptime, I write a tool to track/monitor. Then write a small agent (non-ai) that monitors those outputs and performs your remediation actions…
It's not, hence the "don't post AI slop as your comment" posting a few days back that had 1000+ comments. Currently an unsolved problem - just stealthier on some platforms than others. Trigger the right topic on HN and…
I don't see what you're seeing, in any dimension. But here's a fair take. I wrote several very specialized benchmarks that I've used over time, that surface "model personalities" and their effects on decision making (as…
I don't see why we can't have AI powered reviews as a verification of truth and trust score modifier. Let me explain. 1. You layout policy stating that all code, especially AI code has to be written to a high quality…
This is marketing. The same way Apple cares about your privacy so long as they can wall you in their garden. Not a value judgment, just saying that the CEO of a company making a statement isn't worth anything. See…
It usually refers to situations without access to the source code. I've always taken "clean room" to be the kind of manufacturing clean room (sealed/etc). You're given a device and told "make our version". You're…
True, but I think the implication (as I read it) is that AI may be providing more complex solutions than were needed for the problem and perhaps more complex than a human engineer would have provided.
Somehow this article explains perfectly, visually, how AI generated code differs from human generated code as well. You see the exact same patterns. AI uses more code to accomplish the same thing, less efficiently. I'm…
After 2 days of giving it a go, I find that Gemini CLI is still considerably worse than both Codex and Claude Code. The model itself also has strange behaviors that seem like it gets randomly replaced with…
My take has been... Gemini 3.1 (and Gemini 3) are a lot smarter than Claude Opus 4.6 But... Gemini 3 series are both mediocre at best in agentic coding. Single shot question(s) about a code problem vs "build this…
My experience is that on large codebases that get tricky problems, you eventually get an answer quicker if you can send _all_ the context to a relevant large model to crunch on it for a long period of time. Last night I…
I just ran some numbers and it works out if you're a prolific user. Over 9 days I would have spent roughly $63 dollars on Codex with 11.5M input tokens plus 141M cached input tokens and 1.3M output tokens. That roughly…
I think you've stated this in reverse. API limits are infinite but you'd blow through $20 of usage in a maybe 1 hours or less of intense Opus use. The subscription at $20/mo (or $200) allows for vastly more queries than…
This is something that I was thinking about today. We're at the point where anyone can vibe code a product that "appears" to work. There's going to be a glut of garbage. It used to be that getting to that point required…
The other element here is that the vibecoder hasn't done the interesting thing, they've pulled other people's interesting things. Let's see, how to say this less inflamatory.. (just did this) I sit here in a hotel and I…
If you visualize it as AI Agents throwing a rope to wrangle a problem, and then visualize a dozen of these agents throwing their ropes around a room, and at each other -- very quickly you'll also visualize the mess of…
Right but, do you or the founder have actual responses to the story posted? It seemed to give RentAhuman the benefit of the doubt every step of the way. The site doesn't work as advertised, appears to be begging for…
