hidelooktropic··on Claude Haiku 5.5
Finally! I understand Haiku is the less intelligent model, but the gap between Sonnet and Opus has been far too wide for about a year now.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: Bigwords.page – Turn any screen into a sign. The URL is the app
In the make one by hand section, you probably don't need to tell people %20 is a space. If they type it in naturally, the browser should encode automatically
hidelooktropic··on House with 15m underground tunnels for sale for 300k
Thank you. I definitely read this as million.
hidelooktropic··on Example.com just launched the biggest redesign in decades
It's down?
hidelooktropic··on Beam: Reflection's 501B open-weight model
Nitpicking but I really wish this benchmarks table were easier to read. Should show which columns win in each row and should not require horizontal scrolling to see across.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: LightCloud – A cloud console organised like file system
I will defer to the original author of that comment. I was just interpreting.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: LightCloud – A cloud console organised like file system
I think this is a tongue in cheek comment about it being vibe coded.
hidelooktropic··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
I get this reference
hidelooktropic··on Secondhand book sales are booming. Is it because of AI?
Too bad that website doesn't work for me. The "checking your browser" screen just reloads infinitely.
hidelooktropic··on Production Imminent: 40 Solar-Charging Aptera EVs Coming Soon
You can plug it in
hidelooktropic··on Google kills Earth AI generator after one day
I like the AI overviews.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: I've built a words game based on binary search
I like the idea but it takes a lot of thinking power that I have to come up with actual words that long each time.
hidelooktropic··on Claude Code sends 33k tokens before reading the prompt; OpenCode sends 7k
They are just making the point that it makes sense that subagents would use more tokens because they have none of the parent's context.
hidelooktropic··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
I can talk faster than I can type.
hidelooktropic··on Midjourney Medical
Here is the music from the video: https://music.apple.com/us/album/on-an-evening-at-the-lake-f...
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: High-Res Neural Cellular Automata
Wow. That's fascinating. Thanks for that explanation. So these images come to be consequentially from initial state and weights...
hidelooktropic··on US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks
Especially for fable, that's not a fair comparison.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: High-Res Neural Cellular Automata
For the unfamiliar, could someone explain what I'm looking at? The abstract was a little too concrete (heh) for me to follow.
hidelooktropic··on Tell HN: Meta is down
It's just Facebook.
hidelooktropic··on How long until AI automates all cognitive labor?
You make a good point that not having it is easy to spot. But what precisely would flip the switch?

Seducing someone for example, how often would that have to work? On all people? Maybe that was just thrown out as an example but it points to how subjective these goal posts are.

hidelooktropic··on How long until AI automates all cognitive labor?
> The overlapping AGI definition I use here is "Most purely cognitive labor is automatable at better quality, speed, and cost than humans". For some of these researchers, saying they use this definitions is a bit of a stretch, but I included everyone who I judged as close enough to be informative.

Seems "AGI" is on the same level as "art" or "love" in that everyone knows what we're talking about but no one can nail down unanimously what it is.

hidelooktropic··on Moving away from Tailwind, and learning to structure my CSS
I guarantee you no one is working on this.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: Stop paying for Dropbox/Google Drive, use your own S3 bucket instead
I don't know what you're talking about. I always reserve right up to the knife's edge of what I actually use.
hidelooktropic··on Show HN: Hackerbrief – Top posts on Hacker News summarized daily
Oh relax. Let people make things. It's okay to have more than one take on an idea.
hidelooktropic··on Don't make me talk to your chatbot
I understand the article is actually not about support chatbots specifically but seeing the conversation here talked about that it's not out of place to join in that discussion. Attempting to shame people by accusing them of not reading is hardly constructive. This isn't Reddit.
hidelooktropic··on Don't make me talk to your chatbot
I agree that's why I would prefer to have AI if it does the job better and if it can be further trained to understand when to escalate in the case of a more technical user which I have found humans rarely do.
hidelooktropic··on Don't make me talk to your chatbot
It matters less to me that the helper is an AI/human than the kind of help I'm getting.

The bigger problem to me is "help" is always framed as my needing to be educated, not a problem with the service. This is especially prevalent for technical customers who are legitimately trying to draw attention to a bug in the platform only to get how-to help articles pasted back to them.

hidelooktropic··on Zclaw – The 888 KiB Assistant
There are many concerns and areas for improvement with open claw and other similar projects (continuous loop script with broad OS access that manages your agents and interfaces with a standard messaging app)

However, file size I have never seen on that list. I would rather offer for something that is even bigger in file size so it afford certain functionality like better security tighter permissions however it would do that.

hidelooktropic··on Right-sizes LLM models to your system's RAM, CPU, and GPU
The whole point is to measure your hardware capability. How would you do that as a website?
hidelooktropic··on Use the Mikado Method to do safe changes in a complex codebase
So you do things one step at a time and timebox as you go? This method probably doesn't need its own name. In fact I think that's just what timeboxing is.
