lysecret··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
What’s the best way to get this hosted with eu residency?
lysecret··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Also just want to let my appreciation here for 3.7 it’s cheap super fast super reliable incredible at information parsing eu host able (important for us) and perfectly integrated into gcp. Great job google!
lysecret··on MicroVMs: Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control
I don’t get it we are paying at least hundreds or maybe thousands per month on ai costs. Just get a regular vm ?
lysecret··on Claude Opus 4.8
Sadly I think the correlation between this benchmark and performance is starting to break down imo. Still a legendary idea will be remembered and ingrained in the models forever haha
lysecret··on I’ve joined Anthropic
Honestly happy he’s back at a foundation lab. He will have insane impact there. Of course one of the best educators in the world it’s a bit sad he gave up building and education tool.
lysecret··on I don't think AI will make your processes go faster
Ai in my mind is a new primitive of computing, like compute a db blob storage.
lysecret··on A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro
There is a great recent episode of latent space about a similar topic it’s worth a watch even with the click baiti thumbnail and title https://youtu.be/9d899Ram9Bs?is=pQMoVmlWVsTNKfRK
lysecret··on Claude Opus 4.7
What’s the default context window? Seems extremely short.
lysecret··on If DSPy is so great, why isn't anyone using it?
Main reason to me is that its layers on layer on top of the base LLM calls with not so much to show for it. Also a lot of native features (like for examples geminis native structured responses) aren't well supported.
lysecret··on Ask HN: Why there are no actual studies that show AI is more productive?
Because we are incapable of measuring developer productivity.
lysecret··on Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents
Im honestly not that much worried there are some obvious problems (exfiltrate data labeled as sensitive, take actions that are costly, delete/change sensitive resources) if you have a properly compliant infrastructure all these actions need confirmations logging etc. for humans this seemed more like a neusance but now it seems essential. And all these systems are actually much much easier to setup.
lysecret··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Please I need 3 in ga…
lysecret··on Show HN: LocalGPT – A local-first AI assistant in Rust with persistent memory
Local really has a strange meaning when most of what these things do is interact with the internet in an unrestricted way
lysecret··on Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
It’s just fake accounts being created the bot network has a bot problem haha
lysecret··on Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
There is son much personal info in here it’s wild.
lysecret··on Show HN: OfferGridAI – side-by-side comparison of real estate offers from PDFs
Hmm so that post also links back to segmentation done by structured outputs? (Though here not even enforcing the structure)

lysecret··on Show HN: OfferGridAI – side-by-side comparison of real estate offers from PDFs
Oh I didn’t know about the visual bounding boxes this is super cool!

Quick question are you talking about this feature?

https://docs.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/b...

Because it’s just using structured response so it should be doable with Gemini 3 ? (We are using Gemini 3 for some docs processing and its visual understanding is just incredible)

lysecret··on LLM Year in Review
It’s funny how every podcaster/public ai figure is so certain text as a Ui will go away and it’s not going anywhere.
lysecret··on Mistral OCR 3
3 flash is also insanely good even slightly outperforms 3 pro for me.
lysecret··on Announcing the Beta release of ty
Super excited about this generally ok satisfied with pyright but so I was with conda before uv or black before ruff.
lysecret··on I tried Gleam for Advent of Code
When I was debugging through f# code they definitely had that.
lysecret··on Getting a Gemini API key is an exercise in frustration
I see this, a hot take form my side as someone who is bought in to GCP i quite like being able to put everything on the same billing account / handle it easily through service accounts.
lysecret··on Gemini 3 Pro: the frontier of vision AI
2.5 pro is already excellent at this.
lysecret··on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207B by 2030
Now compare on free cash flow
lysecret··on Building a Durable Execution Engine with SQLite
Yep fully agreed the main thing is to break apart the systems so any retries don’t lead to issues like you mentioned.

I do still think there is sufficient amount of boilerplate to potentially justify some engine like this.

lysecret··on Building more with GPT-5.1-Codex-Max
Cursor has this too
lysecret··on WeatherNext 2: Our most advanced weather forecasting model
Yes very good point this to me is one of the most magical elements of this loss how it suddenly makes the model "collapse" on one output and the predictions become sharp.
lysecret··on WeatherNext 2: Our most advanced weather forecasting model
Yes you are right it's applied to the parameters, but other models (like ngcm) applied it to the inputs. IMO it shouldn't make a huge difference main point is you max differences between models.
lysecret··on WeatherNext 2: Our most advanced weather forecasting model
To encourage diversity between the different members in an ensemble. I think people are doing very similar things for MOE networks but im not that deep into that topic.
lysecret··on WeatherNext 2: Our most advanced weather forecasting model
The thing is that regular weather forecasts are also not that great.
