hbcdbff··on Clef: our open-source decision models
“Urgency” of “yes”?
hbcdbff··on When did Google get so weird?
Seems fairly trivially fixable to me, e.g. by allowing the LLM to call a tool to spell out a word.
hbcdbff··on Apple Music to open concert venue in Battersea Power Station
Dozens of proposals were made for dozens of years. Nothing was done, it sat there rotting away.

What holds the country back is anti-growth, financially insecure people who complain about anything and everything.

> But if that's the only way you see progress — the creation of places for foreign wealth to be spent — then yeah, I am holding the UK back from that miserable dystopia.

Try actually going there. You might find there aren’t as many “foreign” people as you fear.

I personally see no issue with using prime real estate for… prime housing.

Affordable housing can be built somewhere that is actually… affordable.

A shop selling expensive wine? What horror.

I suppose you’d prefer the power station to have remained a derelict wreck.

Honestly, people like you are what holds this country back.

Impossible to tell if this is slop or not

Claude insists on injecting the word real or actual everywhere.

I kinda wonder if being trained on other English dialects, particularly Indian English, causes this

hbcdbff··on Amazon vs. Perplexity – U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Giving perplexity your credentials to run agentic workflows is not the same as manually controlling the site.

It’s literally not the same. I’m not really sure what else to tell you.

hbcdbff··on Amazon vs. Perplexity – U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
It’s quite clearly not the same
hbcdbff··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
> the number of leading zeroes in Techaro's bank account

Trailing, surely?

hbcdbff··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
I have never, and I mean never, seen such a declaration have any effect whatsoever.
hbcdbff··on NTSB issues investigative update on B-767 runway excursion accident in Miami
I don’t see this in the official CVR transcript from the NTSB. Only mention of “around” is the go-around called on the ground, 15s before CVR stopped
hbcdbff··on NTSB issues investigative update on B-767 runway excursion accident in Miami
This isn’t a skill issue, it’s laziness and negligence.

He doesn’t need to “grab the wheel”. Simply saying “go-around” would have been enough, it’s highly highly unlikely that the captain would have ignored that.
hbcdbff··on Please don't rearrange our shoes when we turn up, paramedics in Japan urge
I also take my shoes and off and find it gross when people don’t.

That said, I don’t think it’s really rational. Our houses are full of bacteria and dirt one way or another anyway. It’s impossible to avoid that without having some kind of airlock equipped with a shower in your porch.

hbcdbff··on Risk of transmission of amyloid β pathology via transfused blood products
Your HN username should be in the dictionary under “Dunning-Kruger”.
hbcdbff··on Malicious Rust crate Arrayref runs a build-time payload
Slop
hbcdbff··on The August 17 outage
1.5 billion commits of worthless slop
hbcdbff··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
> I’ve stopped caring about code readability for a few months now. […] I don’t trust it with code anyway

If you don’t trust it with code, surely you need the code to be readable so you can understand what it is writing?

hbcdbff··on Patterns and problems in emerging multi-agent systems
Possibly the most interesting article on LLMs I have read in recent months
hbcdbff··on Software Engineering fundamentals matter more
Why wouldn’t it?
hbcdbff··on Software Engineering fundamentals matter more
How do you expect us to take your views on LLM code quality and durability seriously when a) you don’t even look at the code and b) you’ve only been doing this for two months?
hbcdbff··on Every Fucking Website (2020)
Not enough AI slop
hbcdbff··on Saying No
“Wasteful desert paradise” and the author is a “bootstrapped SaaS finder”. Not exactly the greatest leap of imagination
hbcdbff··on Security Incident INC-2026-07-28-01 – UK AI Security Institute [pdf]
Honestly seems rather shockingly incompetent from them. What kind of “sandbox” allows completely unrestricted internet access?
hbcdbff··on How to Exist
Maybe they’re happier that way
hbcdbff··on How to Exist
No one ever implied, let alone said, that, but if it makes you happy to have a strawman please carry on
hbcdbff··on Google kills Earth AI generator after one day
Google is no longer a technology company, it’s a vehicle for engineers to acquire wealth via promotions
