bridgettegraham··on Ask HN: How do I get Fable to acknowledge me?
Oh another issue with BTW is that is read-only - it can't influence or actually do ANYTHING other than respond in a readonly way. Sometimes thats not what I really want.
bridgettegraham··on Ask HN: How do I get Fable to acknowledge me?
yeah I know the BTW but often times the things I want it to do ARE, in fact, steering-related things. And yeah, I do interrupt it sometimes to force it to hear me out. Some of the questions I ask it are often also related to the work they are busy with at that moment and my questions are load-bearing. It just frustrates me so much that it doesn't do a simple "ACK". I with they were more open to pair-programming than INSISTING to do everything completely autonomously or agentic. The models continue to hallucinate and I often feel the need to steer them, but the more powerful the models get, the less interested it seem to get in my opinions/requests... Anyways... just my observation/frustration with Fable. Thanks for the reply.
bridgettegraham··on Ask HN: Which model is best for pair-programming?
You mean like the app that "controls" or "directs" it? The thing that executes the tools, etc?
bridgettegraham··on Ask HK: Does it feel like the top models routinely dismiss your opinion/advice?
lol... nice
bridgettegraham··on Brown Professor Suspects Majority of His Class Used AI to Cheat
should we really consider the usage of AI as "cheating"? the only reason I am asking this is because its here and its augmenting everything we do and its not going away - it is probably one of the most useful tools/inventions since the abacus and after that the calculator, in my opinion.
bridgettegraham··on Africans Are Turning to Starlink
In South Africa we are not allowed to make use of Starlink. The reason: our government insists that the owners of Starlink give > 50% of ownership of the contract exclusively to black people (our discriminatory BBEEE that explicitly states, openly, in any advert in public, that a company is allowed to ONLY EMPLOY black people and not white people), which Elon Musk and his company refuses to do (good for them). That is the reason we can't have Starlink.
bridgettegraham··on Africans Are Turning to Starlink
Just for interest's sake and so this continues to be visible in the world: In South Africa we are not allowed to make use of Starlink. The reason: our government insists that the owners of Starlink give > 50% of ownership of the contract exclusively to black people (our discriminatory BBEEE that explicitly states, openly, in any advert in public, that a company is allowed to ONLY EMPLOY black people and not white people), which Elon Musk and his company refuses to do (good for them). That is the reason we can't have Starlink.
bridgettegraham··on Ask HN: noticed how HN performs sentiment-analysis on everything posted here?
its merely an implication and not a stated fact. OBVIOUSLY I don't have any proof.

bridgettegraham··on Fable 5 is Back
jiezaz krsit - I just spent $50 in like 3 minutes after running out of credits. this is just depressing. a really valuable product locked behind payment that only large corps can afford that completely locks out individuals. im so over capitalism. I hate this. I can't wait for open models to really just catch up and become the norm so that all these closed models can go do whatever it is anybody does to themselves in the dark. im so sad.
bridgettegraham··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
lol. good for the chinese. I hope their models get better than the closed american ones quick so we can stop using "controlled" models.
bridgettegraham··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
man the us govt is becomming a proper bully in the truest sense of the world. dictatorship, censorship and obfuscation of truth. 1984 "the truth is what the dictator says it is" and the sheep are too dumb to realize it.
bridgettegraham··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
"i can has the bestest powers of the world, i is the strongest, i is the badest president ever" what a retard
bridgettegraham··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
this is just the US government bullying everyone wherever they can because they "are the bestest government that has ever goverend" ugh puke. the US govt and its leader is a typical schoolyard bully and I wish someone could stop that bully. i hate that the govts have so much power.
bridgettegraham··on Why does it look like LLMs consistently overestimate implementation time?
yeah this is my suspicion too
bridgettegraham··on Why does it look like LLMs consistently overestimate implementation time?
yes exactly - I have never asked them for an estimate
bridgettegraham··on Show HN: Yesterday's Bread – a modern MUD with AI NPCs and a personalised novel
Thanks for the comment! I like your idea about changing the voice to first/second/third, and I am also considering full translation - this has not yet been built. The game is built with locales in mind, supporting English and Afrikaans (my native language) out of the box and I plan to add more locales, but I still need to investigate this.

Oh I remember AI Dungeon - I have played it myself :-)
