Lionga··on DoorDash and Waymo launch autonomous delivery service in Phoenix
Or just live in a non retarded country where neither tipping nor small talk is expected when you take a fucking taxi. Plus it will probably just cost half or less by itself
Lionga··on Claude Skills
I know I'm replying to a shitpost. Well enough said.
Lionga··on TaxCalcBench: Evaluating Frontier Models on the Tax Calculation Task
The problem is they do not understand what/how to calculate not the actual act of adding or multiplying. I tried asking ChatGPT to calculate some taxes for three countries, two of which I have been filing taxes already. For the two I know ChatGPT gave wildly wrong numbers (not even right ballpark), so I know I could not trust numbers for the third which was what I was mostly interested in.
Lionga··on Ask HN: How are senior SWEs using AI?
ITT: "Juniors" thinking they are "Seniors" (which by itself are almost useless terms)
Lionga··on Microsoft lets bosses spot teams that are dodging Copilot
If you are submitting AI Slop code or overuse AI then you are a liability.

If you don't use AI at all you might be 5 or 10% slower, but quality might well even make up for it.

Lionga··on 1-year risks of cancers associated with COV19 vaccination: a cohort study in SK
TL;DR: The HRs of thyroid (HR, 1.351; 95% CI, 1.206–1.514), gastric (HR, 1.335; 95% CI, 1.130–1.576), colorectal (HR, 1.283; 95% CI, 1.122–1.468), lung (HR, 1.533; 95% CI, 1.254–1.874), breast (HR, 1.197; 95% CI, 1.069–1.340), and prostate (HR, 1.687; 95% CI, 1.348–2.111) cancers significantly increased at 1 year post-vaccination. In terms of vaccine type, cDNA vaccines were associated with the increased risks of thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers; mRNA vaccines were linked to the increased risks of thyroid, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers; and heterologous vaccination was related to the increased risks of thyroid and breast cancers
Lionga··on Tell HN: Stripe seems to have suspended human customer support
Stripe has become very bad over the years, luckily there are many better alternatives now a days.
Lionga··on Are We in an A.I. Bubble? I Suspect So
I see so many on HN say they got 10 times more productive but nobody ever has anything to show.
Lionga··on Are We in an A.I. Bubble? I Suspect So
Its not a sigmoid curve but rather the typical hype cycle curve. LLMs will surely not "invert" the economy (whatever that means). LLMs will just be tiny part of it like any other tool
Lionga··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
Nope, anything besides ASICs are useless for crypto mining.
Lionga··on Tesla influencers tried coast-to-coast self-driving, hit debris before 60 miles
A human would not have hit that, the two guys see it coming from a long time and would have stopped or changed lanes like.
Lionga··on Tesla influencers tried coast-to-coast self-driving, hit debris before 60 miles
Even with traffic tailgating it would need to brake or go to then right. Your comment sounds like a Tesla ad written by someone from Tesla or a heavy, heavy fan boy.
Lionga··on How to motivate yourself to do a thing you don't want to do
About as helpful as telling a drug addict to just stop using drugs, ez pz
Lionga··on OpenAI Grove
Sell your first born to Scam Altman now!
Lionga··on OpenAI Grove
Dude, they completely betrayed everything in their "mission". The irony in the name OpenAI for a closed, scammy, for profit company can not be lost on you.
Lionga··on Serverless Horrors
0.085/TB makes a lot of sense if you sell just with a 50 to 100% markup. But they rather sell at tens of thousands of markup to the real cost
Lionga··on Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
Feeling cute, might put all your private conversation into my public LLM later
Lionga··on Some thoughts on LLMs and software development
The most common "agent" is an letting an LLM run a while loop (“multi-step agent”) [1]

Lionga··on Some thoughts on LLMs and software development
Isn't an "agent" not just hallucinations layered on top of other random hallucinations to create new hallucinations?
Lionga··on Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?
Well he asked some AI to do the math for him probably
Lionga··on A bubble that knows it's a bubble
5.6 billion loss in 2024 on $918 million in revenue.

When you are selling a 5 dollars for 1 dollar doubling revenue is easy. It just creates more losses, same with OpenAI

Lionga··on Bank forced to rehire workers after lying about chatbot productivity, union says
You what is even less of a waste of time for everyone? A simple form for that data.

Just good the company knows a chatbot can not actually handle anything beyond taking some data.

Lionga··on Margin debt surges to record high
Have fun when the AI bubble pops and SP500 has a negative 20% return and you are `borrowing like crazy' at 6% interest if you dont get margin called.
Lionga··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
How did this get pushed of the front page with over 100 points in less then an hour? YC does not like that kind of articles?

YC does not like that kind of articles?

Lionga··on Cursos not being truthful again How do folks deal with cursor lying?
I am amazed by how many people even on HN think LLMs are persons or have any kind of reasoning and can't see that they are just stochastic next word predictors.

Guess the AI Hypers did the job well, especially with calling things like just feed the stochastic next word prediction back to the stochastic next word predictors "reasoning" to fool the dumbos on HN and the world.

Lionga··on Databricks is raising a Series K Investment at >$100B valuation
IPO needs real numbers, VCs just want buzzwords
Lionga··on How we exploited CodeRabbit: From simple PR to RCE and write access on 1M repos
Problem is, way to often it is not even good at guessing.
Lionga··on How we exploited CodeRabbit: From simple PR to RCE and write access on 1M repos
Code Rabbit is a vibe coder company, what would you expect? Then they try to hide the breach and instead post marketing fluff on google cloud blog not even mentioning they got hacked and can not even give any proof there is no backdoor still running all the time.

What a piece of shit company.

Lionga··on Good system design
All this general advice is quite useless and needs millions of asterix.

Good system design is designing a system that works best for the problem at hand.
