EliBullockPapa··on Launch HN: Nao Labs (YC X25) – Cursor for Data
Cool idea! How did you train your tab model? Fill in the middle or is it based on edit history like cursor? Someone posted this yesterday and I found it fascinating https://www.coplay.dev/blog/a-brief-history-of-cursor-s-tab-...
EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: OpenRouter Model Price Comparison
I am very confused by this whole product. I also don’t understand how it is different than the models page on openrouter’s website
EliBullockPapa··on Nobody cares
Well damn I guess I’m living in the 1% /s

EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: Watch 3 AIs compete in real-time stock trading
I would be very cautious about doing this with money you actually need. Even the best performing human day traders underperform the indexes over long time horizons. Why would a robot be better?

from a study in Brazil: "97% of all individuals who persisted for more than 300 days lost money. Only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage and only 0.5% earned more than the initial salary of a bank teller — all with great risk."

If you don't want your bot to be a day trader, then just get low cost index funds.

EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: Watch 3 AIs compete in real-time stock trading
This phenomenon is called Alpha Decay. As more market participants exploit the predictor's advantage, the edge diminishes until it disappears.
EliBullockPapa··on Ask HN: Are you unable to find employment?
What do you mean? Only way I can think of is social media advertising revenue going to big tech instead of local media. But a net negative effect on non-US economies seems hard to believe.
EliBullockPapa··on Sora is here
I really don't think it's reasonable to expect them to onboard what is likely tens of thousands of sign ups in the first hour.
EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: City Finding Game
I can add this pretty easily, check back tomorrow or later tonight
EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: City Finding Game
Oh no I was the stereotypical American haha. I’ll make km default with miles in parenthesis

I would love this too, but the google maps 3D api only seems to offer a blanket “labels on” or “labels off” options.
EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: City Finding Game
If you restrict the allowed countries to United States only, or play US Mode then the state is offered as a hint. However, if in other game modes the city name includes the state name then you automatically know it’s in the US which doesn’t seem balanced. And you’re right about repeated city names but they are often massively different in population, and you can get that for only a 2 second penalty.

You should get a toast notification in the bottom right saying how many miles away your guess is from the correct location. I know there's no instructions, I'll add those soon, but also let me know if the guesses weren't telling you the distance correctly.
EliBullockPapa··on Quantized Llama models with increased speed and a reduced memory footprint
Anyone know a nice iOS app to run these locally?
EliBullockPapa··on Show HN: FinetuneDB – AI fine-tuning platform to create custom LLMs
Awesome but pricing seems a little high right now, and you're missing Gemini Flash, the very cheapest fine tunable model that I know of.
EliBullockPapa··on The real data wall is billions of years of evolution
Even if transistors reach physical limits, there’s always different materials and architecture optimizations. We also know the human brain has far more intelligence per watt than any transistor architecture I know of. The real question is if those will be commercially worth researching.
EliBullockPapa··on Quantum Cryptography Has Everyone Scrambling
Right, this is just an academic exercise and has no commercial use as far as I’ve heard
EliBullockPapa··on Ask HN: 19yr old child suffering from internet gaming disorder? Any suggestions?
Sadly I don’t think Roblox will provide the same career opportunities but I could be wrong
EliBullockPapa··on US solar production soars by 25 percent in just one year
Would have been more if we allowed chinese panels :(
