it seems we should be storing chains of prompts instead of code, and then replay them when a new model is released.

if that’s true, it’s quite rude to be so delicate with the artists while obsoleting the nerds

I don’t know about that. There are countlessly many videos online about obscure maths with no particular relevance to anything. It’s similar to the crypto universe where people build things just because they can imagine them, and just sort of assume their conceptual existence makes them meaningful.

If it’s any comfort, whoever did this made more money in a month than I’ll make in 10 years.

Wait that’s not a comfort at all. Now I’m more upset.

It’s so bad I can’t even believe they allow it. It’s just slop everywhere, even the posts complaining about AI slop are also AI slop which is pretty incredible.

Every second of the interaction is uncomfortable to me, but I also have extreme difficulty with video calls with humans. The latency completely breaks my mind.

I could see it relating to tools having unpredictable latency but if they already do background hand off to 5.5 then it seems like they could just enable it within that context.

Is this what HN is going to become? Prompt an AI and then post its output?

I literally do own a business and my profits are held back by the mere fact that I don’t actively try to manipulate people into giving me their money.

That seems to stretch the meaning of market inefficiency. Is the lack of unlimited free energy an inefficiency in a market? Because an entrepreneur who achieves that is going to do pretty well. I’d say that would be creating value not optimizing market efficiency.

I’ve long considered marketing to be one of the purest forms of evil in existence. It truly does envelop and destroy everything good.

Word of mouth isn’t even a way in anymore because HR demands you be plugged into the dysfunctional rube goldberg hiring machine.

I consider myself to have retired at age 41 in hindsight, because a job never materialized and I also found that apparently I didn’t really need one.

The best way to increase endurance for long distance running is to run for long distances.

I’m playing devil’s advocate here, so go easy on me. But how completely do we know lean is perfectly true in all cases?

I’m fine with this as long as they immediately approve me in particular.

lol, you might change your mind when reparations end up going out to a very different set of people than you expected.

It’s based on LUFS (or ECMA-418) instead of RMS/Peak, which is more perceptually in line with “loudness.”

I wonder how much talent is out there who, like me, simply isn’t interested in debasing themselves to go through the interview process so just nopes out of employment. It’s all such an absurd joke at this point.

Slowed breathing with longer exhales makes a noticeable (5-10 bpm) decrease in HR during endurance bike rides. It’s interesting seeing it happen when the power output is the same.
