sure, the physics is solved: we know how radiators work, and we can calculate the area needed, blah blah. but we haven't put sustained-AI-computer systems into space yet - heat is a genuine concern, and personally I'm curious if they are developing something beyond simple radiators. if a ~1m^2 radiator works, great. but if the current test can only run the TPUs for ~15-minute bursts before it has to stop and dump heat, this issue isn't exactly "solved" in my book.

and yet notice how the cooling video / section was the only one they didn't have a solution for... just saying "radiator" doesn't make sense - the radiator heats up too. it's how you get rid of the heat, not where you put it.

If this player has true random playing of your songs, instant sell for me. Also, a mobile version would be great, even if I have to do a manual install.

Spotify's "random shuffle" has been broken for years, with a long running thread [1] complaining about it. A lot of the commenters think there is some kind of "artist priority" playing algorithm, with some kind of maximum profit goal or something. But I think it's simpler - if Spotify just plays the same ~20 songs, they save a lot on bandwidth as it can just play from a local store. Who knows the real reason, I just know that it's annoying when I have a 2000+ song playlist and only hear a small percentage of it.

And yes I'm aware last year Spotify announced "fewer repeats" shuffle - but it doesn't work, or isn't sufficient anyway.

I used AI to make a presentation that animated around (html). It had the look of the storyboard and the postcards had tweakable controls on them for the data I wanted to show. It was pretty slick, something that would take me forever (and I'd never get the time approval to do).

Totally depends. The real question is what's your average productivity increase?

I had a task to completely gut out a codebase to share with a vendor. I gave them my estimate - 2 weeks. Asked Claude to do it, and was done in an hour. Reviewed the changes, and it was perfect. This is an outlier of course, and it was a pretty basic codebase. But it's real world stuff.

Overall though, if I had the mental fortitude to work for 8 hours straight, I could easily average 5x my "normal" performance. But most days I can't perform at that level. Also I admit I am not a fast developer, I do a lot of testing and verifying as I'm paranoid.

I made an image and it fooled GPT. I asked it to look for a hidden message and it found the blurred word.

Still cool+fun though.

Clicked on link, it tried to upsell me on twitter prime or whatever it is. Closed the promotion, now I'm just sitting on twitter, not on the link I clicked on.

That is sad.

I guess I'll play devil's advocate here, don't shoot me.

Over the course of my career I've had to deal with multiple hacks, DDOSes, and even situations working with the FBI. It's a mess, and extremely frustrating and unfair to those of us who are just trying to do a good job and make a living. Those of you who are throwing stones at Microsoft's coding, how confident are you that your code is safe from this new AI age?

Obviously MS handled this poorly, even after reading this article it's not clear how MS handles bug bounties. But that doesn’t mean this “researcher” deserves a pass.

Releasing 0-days, especially working exploit code for unpatched vulnerabilities, is extremely unethical. It has real potential to cause a lot of harm to regular engineers, and users who had nothing to do with the dispute.

the new bottleneck for development at work is code reviews. devs are creating whole features that would take months in only a couple weeks, but code reviewing that is a slow, painful process

The low latency is more of a pain point than a good thing, the way they have it implemented. Trying to have a casual conversation with it, as humans we naturally pause, and GPT will take this as you are "done" and start blabbing away.

I also suffer from finding the appropriate word I want as I've gotten older and slower, and this fast-voice-gpt just ends up frustrating me more than helping. I have to sit there and think out the whole sentence in my head before I say anything -- not very natural.

Just happened to me and I was really confused. First time I've seen any malware callouts so it had me worried for a minute.

> This file is clearly not malware

Yeah, it's all my code, that you've seen before...

waste of time and resources. you aren't going to win a fight against 3d printers. might as well outlaw the printers completely.

we have failed a long time ago in that regard

adapt or die

waiting on the govt to do something is a path of failure

only a couple steps away from Idiocracy

what thermometer would you use to measure the temperature of space?

Wasn't 2048 first posted on HN before it got big?

Battery tech

Lots of old man yelling at clouds energy in here.

This is new territory, you don't ban it, you adapt with it.

I blame the prevalence of package mangers in the first place. Never liked em, just for this reason. Things were fine before they became mainstream. Another annoying reason is package files that are set to grab the latest version, randomly breaking your environment. This isn't just npm of course, I hate them all equally.

While visiting a friend in Russia I was perplexed by the candle in his flat - it had zero flicker, was stable and unmoving. Eventually I learned how they heated the flat, with water flowing through pipes and heat radiation - so little to no air movement.

We didn't set out to hide our GDPR requests, we put them behind our Support/Legal button. But we got sued anyway, and we lost.

Now we have to have the "delete my data" and "request my data" as part of our main settings list. Result: flooded with requests. People are clicking the buttons just because they are there. For me it's not a big deal, I automate all the requests. But, I still feel like this went too far.

I wouldn't. The current theories on sleep and "brain needs sleep" always struck me as a stopgap theory. Even spent some time with GPT arguing about it and never felt fully convinced, like the real reason was still missing.

"the crystal structure results in zero magnetisation."

?

Thank you for your work!

No need to sue. Send a cease and desist and your average hacker like OP will take it down in a hurry...

You can measure various aspects of a computer. You can't measure consciousness.

If something sounds off I just tell it I think it's wrong or to double check itself, similar to what I do with text.

I love LLMs, and actually feel they are making me smarter.

I'll be thinking of something in the car, like how do torque converters work? And then I start live talk session with GPT and we start talking about it. Unlike a Wikipedia article that just straight tells you how it works, I can dive down into each detail that is confusing to me until I fully understand it. It's incredible, for the curious.

Early on I gave it a custom instruction:

  Be informal, and make responses as short and concise as possible.  Do not waste words apologizing.
