heyoni··on Why current LLM costs are not sustainable
What assumptions are needed for inferring cost based on api pricing?
heyoni··on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it
The last word.
heyoni··on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it
If people are constantly running to HR in your midst then you might not be the mentor you think you are.
heyoni··on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it
No one's mad at you. You just switched your arguments.

As for why pay for access when you can get on free tiers? Well, because the pay models are far far better than the free ones. That's it.

heyoni··on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it
Your argument was not to get into a long term commitment because then you might have to wait a year to be able to use the best model again...not that you could get by using a rotating cast of free tier AI models...
heyoni··on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it
I don’t associate any of these AI limitations and mischaracterizations with Marcus. Do you?

Just pay per month then.
heyoni··on Wife of ICEBlock app founder speaks out after DOJ fires her
Since when is dissemination of publicly facing information considered political action under the Hatch Act? The latter requires the person to use their influence or be on duty for it to count. The raids being reported by the app aren’t using insider information, they’re in progress and out in the open.

This situation is pretty clear cut. The administration isn’t being coy about purging anyone they think might be less than blindly loyal.

heyoni··on Accelerating scientific breakthroughs with an AI co-scientist
Can you explain what you mean by subtyping and if/how it negates the usefulness of repurposing (if that’s what you meant to say). Wouldn’t subtyping complement a drug repurposing screen by allowing the scientist to test compounds against a subset of a disease?

And drug repurposing is also used for conditions with no known molecular basis like autism. You’re not suggesting its usefulness is limited in those cases right?

heyoni··on 670nm red light exposure improved aged mitochondrial function, colour vision
Maybe, maybe not. At power levels high enough to be therapeutic you’re gonna want to think about cooling.
heyoni··on 670nm red light exposure improved aged mitochondrial function, colour vision
You won’t get an answer. They’ve been arrested for indecent exposure
heyoni··on Firing programmers for AI is a mistake
It’s not discriminatory at all! Or even the point OP is trying to make. Taking a significant number of jobs and outsourcing them overnight will quickly result in running out the talent pool in said country. It’s shortsighted and stupid because it assumes that there is an army of developers just sitting around standing by waiting for the next western tech company to give them high paying remote jobs. A large portion of that talent pool is already reserved by the biggest corporations.

Build up to it and foster growth in your overseas teams and you’ll do well. Thinking you can transform your department overnight _is_ a great way to boost your share price, cash out on a fat payday and walk away before your product quality tanks.

heyoni··on MySQL at Uber
People see uber tech blog and jump straight to upvoting.
heyoni··on Jensen Huang keynote at CES 2025 [video]
Great, so nothing changes.

Or scalpers won’t be dissuaded and street price for a 5090 will be $3200 or more. $1500 was already an insane price tag for scalpers to pay but they did it anyways.

DLSS in cyberpunk has a lot of issues. Faces look weird, tons of ghosting, hair and particle effects looking very jagged.
heyoni··on Sleep regularity and major adverse cardiovascular events
Oh thank god. I was like “not my zzzeek noooooo”
heyoni··on Sleep regularity and major adverse cardiovascular events
Did you drop this “/s”?
heyoni··on FTC announces "click-to-cancel" rule making it easier to cancel subscriptions
Same. Certain subscriptions I won't touch if I couldn't go through it with icloud. nytimes and nytimes cooking were up there as the worst offenders.
heyoni··on FTC announces "click-to-cancel" rule making it easier to cancel subscriptions
> In practice abolishing Chevron deference mostly means rules will follow the politics of judges rather than the current administration. TBH I think this rule is far enough from the culture war that it will probably stand anyway. Unless the NYT happens to buy the judges a lot of vacations...

I want to agree with you but the vote was split down party lines completely with 2 dissenters being republican.

heyoni··on Working from home is powering productivity
Every system in place for measuring output and bringing transparency to work done by office workers/software developers finally make sense in the context of working from home.

Either your tickets get done or you have a really good explanation for why they haven't but because you dug into the problem are able to display deep knowledge of the problem.

Discipline has nothing to do with this. Your work will have expectations and deadlines and they will either be met or another human being will grade you with an F. Whatever human trait causes people to do work under those circumstances might be shame, fear, social pressure manifesting itself as work output, I can say for certain it isn't discipline.

heyoni··on Show HN: Gmail unsubscribe tool with bulk deletion and personal data removal
I feel like it should be priced as a one time fee anyway. Most of us got caught up wanting to hoard emails, want to clean things up but might now be diligently unsubscribing and deleting things rather than save everything forever.
heyoni··on MusicBrainz: An open music encyclopedia
The problem with those tv and movie databases are that they’re owned by Roku and you can’t download any data dumps…you’re also relying on the good graces of a corporation that can cut you off whenever it feels like it. That was the case with IMDb and I’m still upset about that :/
heyoni··on AI and globalisation are shaking up software developers' world
Exactly. It’s always been possible to commoditize software engineering _if_ you could find the right developers overseas but the fact is we are where we are because it’s hard and almost impossible to manage.

And either way, talented developers from developing countries are often brought on with visas and end up with salaries close to the industry norm. I’ve been involved with large mergers with overseas dev teams and that’s how it’s always been.

At best, AI is just good documentation. This whole craze is the equivalent of saying doctors won’t be necessary because you can just google how to do x procedure.

heyoni··on Show HN: Hosting my website using my C web server
Not the only time it’s been brought up in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41643198

I’m waiting for someone to chime in and explain why that would be a bad idea cause I can’t think of it from a security perspective.

heyoni··on Google Cache Is Fully Dead
No. But caching takedowns is not the same at all as YouTube takedowns. It’s very very clear who owns what data and after the takedown the site owner can modify the robots.txt and move on.

So yes, takedowns here are fine.

heyoni··on Google Cache Is Fully Dead
Treat it like you do customer support and automate it. Or is that not allowed?
heyoni··on Winamp Legacy player source code
That’s not good enough. You can’t put out an open source project and expect to control the community around it to that degree.
heyoni··on We fine-tuned Llama 405B on AMD GPUs
MFU being maximal floating point utilization right? I used chatgpt 4o and it otherwise looks very similar to your llama result
heyoni··on We fine-tuned Llama 405B on AMD GPUs
If I feed your reply to an llm will it be able to tell me what you’re talking about?

/edit I think it did alright…
