_jayhack_··on AI is just someone else's intelligence
This logic only applies to generative pre-training, behavior cloning, and other training methods which rely on learning to mimic well-structured content from the real world.

It does not apply to intelligence gathered through methods like RL.

How does the author think about the intelligence of AlphaGo, for instance, which was trained entirely by self-play?

_jayhack_··on Show HN: ChadCode – ChatGPT Plugin for Software Engineering
Hey all, I hacked this out this afternoon after getting access to the ChatGPT Plugins API.

Right now, it integrates code & issues from a repo in a format that ChatGPT can easily navigate.

It can summarize/create issues for you, help you debug while looking at your code (without the copy/paste), etc.

Would appreciate any feedback. What other features do you want to see?

_jayhack_··on Autodoc – a drop-in module for text-to-code on your docs site
Hey all!

Excited to share Autodoc: An AI-powered code generation service for docs sites. Drop an HTML tag on your docs site homepage and get an automatic interface for text-to-code in your framework. Instead of searching through manual pages, users of your framework can simply express what they want to accomplish - e.g. "swap the ith and jth rows of a matrix" in numpy - and it will generate code on their behalf.

Check it out now at https://autodoc.jay.ai

Would love to hear feedback. Thanks!

_jayhack_··on TLDR explains what a piece of code does
> it has no actual intelligence

This is a prime example of the moving goalpost of what intelligence "actually" is - in previous eras, we would undoubtedly consider understanding context, putting together syntactically correct sentences and extracting the essence from texts as "intelligent"

_jayhack_··on The Rise and Fall of the Manufactured Home – Part I
3D printing housing is exciting; I'm also optimistic about the future of modular architecture, in which walls (or even room-sized units) are manufactured and transported to the construction site, plumbing/electricity already included, and assembled like Legos. Nexii (https://www.nexii.com/) is working on something similar. It seems there are significant construction cost reductions, faster to build, and easier to repair, although the space of possible buildings is more limited than in the 3D-printed approach

_jayhack_··on Ask HN: Who is hiring right now?
Mira (https://mirabeauty.com) | Senior Data Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | Onsite (flexible)

Mira is a fast-growing social marketplace attacking the $500B global beauty industry. Powered by the industry's largest comprehensive beauty content dataset, Mira uses AI and computer vision to fundamentally improve the customer's journey from product discovery through purchase.

Founded by AI and computer vision engineers Jay Hack and Brandon Garcia, both Stanford computer science graduates, Mira now has a team of 10 from Stanford, MIT, Palantir, Facebook, Amazon, Benefit and NARS.

Mira having just raised over $9mm from traditional tech VC and strategic industry partners, is rapidly expanding its team to become the leading destination for beauty-related discovery, community and commerce.

_jayhack_··on Capturing ARKit scene into WebRTC video stream for React Native
This is what native mobile devs tell themselves to preserve their self worth... but unfortunately it's no longer true that you need a dedicated native iOS or android dev to make a useful and performant app.
