fzzzy··on Mister Macintosh (2004)
definitely seems like some people would have perceived it as a virus having infected their computer, although 1984 was pretty early for virii
fzzzy··on Jeff Bezos says AI is in a bubble but society will get 'gigantic' benefits
that makes absolutely no sense
fzzzy··on Ask HN: Why did COM/SOAP/other protocols fail?
Maybe we would be talking about hypermedia as the engine of application state more if somebody took the time to work on the acronym.
fzzzy··on Jeff Bezos says AI is in a bubble but society will get 'gigantic' benefits
Pretty sure discord and slack are not useless…
fzzzy··on Jeff Bezos says AI is in a bubble but society will get 'gigantic' benefits
Gmail and Google Maps were prototypical 2.0.
fzzzy··on OpenAI's H1 2025: $4.3B in income, $13.5B in loss
brand recognition
fzzzy··on The AI coding trap
GitHub copilot already does have speech to text and as my sibling comment mentions, on the Mac, it is globally available. It varies according to typing and speaking speed but speaking should be about five times faster than typing.
fzzzy··on Context is the bottleneck for coding agents now
some sibling comments mentioned Claude code has this
fzzzy··on Greatest irony of the AI age: Humans hired to clean AI slop
Have you seen tv for the last 50 years? Tons of people still consume it.
fzzzy··on America's top companies keep talking about AI – but can't explain the upsides
An llm would “know” not to put spaces around an em dash. An en dash should have spaces.
fzzzy··on Economists agree that the nightmare of hiring Generation Z is real
Guess what? You also went through it again after it had just happened to gen x in the dot com crash!
fzzzy··on Bravo Apple! Calculator app has a memory leak
(1 sq ft in sq in) + 1?
fzzzy··on Meta’s live demo fails; “AI” recording plays before the actor takes the steps
Developers developers developers developers!
fzzzy··on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into 'AI babysitters'
LLMs aren’t deterministic even with a seed.
fzzzy··on Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more popular?
Doesn’t have Unicode? What the heck?
fzzzy··on Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more popular?
I think what they mean is that there are no blocking functions in the standard library except alert, prompt, and confirm. ( are there any others?)
fzzzy··on The man with a Home Computer (1967) [video]
The point is it was a predicted future for 100 years and now it actually is here. Gen Z actually makes video calls all the time when elders would make normal calls.
fzzzy··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
The Eliza effect is incredibly powerful, regardless of whether developers have spread the idea of AI consciousness or not. I don’t believe people would use LLMs with more detachment if developers had communicated different ideas. The Eliza effect is not new.
fzzzy··on AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem
Lower the search space or increase the search speed
fzzzy··on Teenagers no longer answer the phone: Is it a lack of manners or a new trend?
Whenever I get a call, my iPhone never rings. I’m not the only one this happens to. It’s been quite a while. Maybe a year. I have tried turning off all continuity phone settings as some people say this helps.
fzzzy··on AI tooling must be disclosed for contributions
This makes no sense. Computational geometry algorithms are computable.
fzzzy··on Closer to the Metal: Leaving Playwright for CDP
Lol I came here to write this exact comment about the dark ages and selenium. I, too, feel old.
fzzzy··on You Can Build Better AI Agents in Java Than Python
Yes. Calling prompts in a for loop is what makes an agent. Usually tool calls are also involved.
fzzzy··on MCP doesn't need tools, it needs code
Really? Github Copilot Agent can search. Interesting.
fzzzy··on GenAI FOMO has spurred businesses to light nearly $40B on fire
Who did that?
fzzzy··on Evaluating LLMs playing text adventures
I have my own agent loop that I wrote, and I gave it a tool which it uses to send input to the parser. I also had a step which took the previous output and generated an image for it. It was just a toy, but it was pretty fun.
fzzzy··on Evaluating LLMs playing text adventures
I tried this earlier this year. I wrote a tool that let an llm play Zork. It was pretty fun.
fzzzy··on Why the em dash is attracting unfair suspicion
That’s a hyphen, not an en dash.
fzzzy··on Providing ChatGPT to the U.S. federal workforce
You only need 64 gb of cpu ram to run gpt-oss, or one h100.
fzzzy··on Tim Cook rallying Apple employees around AI efforts
They had slider keyboards yeah?
