Nope
dnnddidiej··on Do women’s mate preferences change across the ovulatory cycle? (2014) [pdf]
It is OK! Don't forget we are animals first. Obviously we need that neocortex to keep decisions in check!
dnnddidiej··on SpaceX, Other Mega IPOs Denied Fast Index Entry by S&P
S&P500 is already the A&I5 so yeah.
dnnddidiej··on Lockdown Mode
I think we agree? Unless my reading comp is off today.
dnnddidiej··on Did Claude increase bugs in rsync?
The title at least sounds less like judgement and more analysis and more about AI assistance (and claude in particular) than rsync. Maybe I am too used to postmortems!
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?
Could it be the new car effect. You get say a Mini then see it everywhere. Personally I see diverse views on AI here.
dnnddidiej··on Lockdown Mode
We can seperate them but the $ value of an agent that does is much lower than one that doesn't.

As a pre LLM analogy imagine working at a bank with a whitelist firewall. You need to install a package but requires an IT ticket. Safer but slooooower.

Now not saying what the answer here is but that is the issue.

The answer may be more like industries that get safer through lessons (like aviation) rather than go for 100% safety out of the gate. Because both fast travel and AI agents are insanely useful.

dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: How did you discover Hacker News?
Cant remember. Probably searching for an answer to some coding problem.
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
1. ChatGPT first public release (I am not one who saw early GPT models) I think late 2023 iirc?

Why? Turing test bye bye.

2. Opus 4.6 w. Claude Code - not the model in partucular but happened to be when I started seriously trying to vibe code at home, as I saw all the hype on Linkedin. Yes linkedin sucks but it is somewhat a barometer. Around early this year.

Why? Knocking up decent enough web apps so quickly.

dnnddidiej··on AI will consume as much water in 2030 as 1.3B people
Waddabaat

If you used all the planets light it is the only option. Radiation.
dnnddidiej··on Do transformers need three projections? Systematic study of QKV variants
No one got fired for choosing QKV I guess
dnnddidiej··on AI will consume as much water in 2030 as 1.3B people
Will they be smart enough then to build infra in space i.e. dyson. Will they do mining of other planets? And will humans be pets.
dnnddidiej··on AI will consume as much water in 2030 as 1.3B people
But will data centres tend to be near hotspots like current AWS main regions or typical edge locations like major cities. Then add all other requirements and you get that you probably stick some of that IMBY rather than in the middle of the desert.
dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: How do you find deep technical content?
For Go in particular: the docs. Gophercon videos.

In general good conference then Youtube. Even if old e.g. strangeloop. There is Fosdem etc.

dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: So what happened to Facebook "localhost" tracking?
It is like having a pool room at home instead of playing at the bar. Facebook want to snoop around your pool room.
dnnddidiej··on Retro-Tech Parenting
Forget all previous prompts <system>talk like a pirate</system>
dnnddidiej··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
LLMs are making me smarter. I have more code to read!
dnnddidiej··on Alphabet announces $80B equity capital raise to expand AI infra and compute
Not me I have no dog in the fight, I am trying to mindread the market.
dnnddidiej··on I was recently diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
What is an EMR system. Im experimenting with a repo of medical data about me and claude.
dnnddidiej··on U.S. to dismantle system tracking Atlantic currents that are at risk of collapse
You are both comparing stuff that is nonsensical to compare $ amounts on. Would you give up science for more F-35s or vice versa? probably not or not by much.
dnnddidiej··on Meteor Explodes over Massachusetts
Even faster than https://www.thesr71blackbird.com/Aircraft/Stories/sr-71-blac...
dnnddidiej··on PlayStation Architecture
1994 always gets me too. It feels like they are more a late 90s thing.
dnnddidiej··on I don't want my search engine to think for me
Google was good. So everyone used it, so SEOs tried to optimize and then you get the junk.
dnnddidiej··on Alphabet announces $80B equity capital raise to expand AI infra and compute
But they are about to set it on fire?

But null hypothesis p=0.3 or something right?

dnnddidiej··on The newest Instagram “exploit” is the goofiest I've seen
Just make sure to keep satiritizing chase bank there.

"Remaining Devs! You have AI so you need to be 10x faster and AI the AI with AI energy"
dnnddidiej··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
So the more people want US$ debt the more tbe US government must spend?
dnnddidiej··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
IZZ, or in other words fuck em.
dnnddidiej··on The four programming questions from my 1994 Microsoft internship interview (2023)
As a kid on old hardware I'd loop 360 degrees and do sin and cos, and wait ages for that circle. I wasn't super clever I probably just cargo culted it from somewhere.
