Yeah, I'm with you.

Nowadays any LLM and any harness you use will just do this for you.

But there are helper libraries like Instructor that have been around since like gpt3, which abstract away retries and stuff to make this super easy.

Ah yes - a company is such a failure that it recently raised 3 billion dollars at a 23 billion dollar valuation?

If it's successful, their boring machine will tunnel 10x faster and 10x cheaper than competitors, and it will be the one making new tunnels for all sorts of trains.

The craziest part about FSD is that people still think it doesn't work.

The fact that you can pay the average price for a car, and get a car that fully drives itself today, is mind boggling.

FSD is on the path of being incredibly successful. You really have to try it, if you haven't already.

Boring Company is also on the path to being successful, it's just not advertised much.

Solar roof - yes, this one I would mark as a failure.

Cybertruck - they're still selling, so not a failure. But not as great as originally promised.

Hyperloop - this could still come after boring company succeeds.

Nobody is saying he's god. But maybe, he understands engineering better than some commenters on HN, that's all.

I'm sure you also thought falcon was going to fail, Tesla would never work out, and Twitter would collapse after Elon bought it.

Wow that's awesome

thank you!

I think it's hitting 96k per homeless person a year now. But yes, it's the tax system's fault.

that has ZERO to do with the tax system... You can't be serious? Have you looked at the data at all? have you seen how much money is spent "combatting" homelessness in San Francisco?

any recommendation for tendon/joint pain? I'm in my early 30s, and try to lift regularly, but my joints/tendons seem to be the limiting factor when lifting, and not really muscle tiredness/soreness

thanks! Haha evidently, improvement is still needed in both the app and my Spanish

What levels are they actually at in your experience?

smart rings aren't meant to last more than a couple years though - the rate of progress on these means that you're more likely going to be paying for a smart ring subscription than a physical object

Got tired of trying to learn Spanish with Duolingo.

This uses the parts of AI that can actually help one learn efficiently, namely: - generate stories that are slightly beyond your understanding (i+1) - i.e mostly words you know or are learning, and a few new words - tracks your vocab and how often you lookup définitions - auto generates a vocab review deck (using fsfr Anki style)

Some of the models claim to be audio to audio, like one of the Gemini models. But I've tested and it does seem that you're right, it's not getting all the nuance at all

That's great- i recently went down the same path! I was using grok in my car but got frustrated it wouldn't keep track.

Built my own app, currently focused on having it generate stories for me at my level, and also doing FSRS flashcards, using words that i lookup.

What are you using for the voice AI?

Right now I'm using Gemini as it seemed the best value, but I think it could be improved.

Also, how's the learning for you been so far? I've only been at it a few weeks but this method seems to be superior than other things I've tried

I think a lot of artists want to have psychosis because it would improve their art ahaha.

On a more serious note - real art is not validated by making money. If you want to be a full time artist, then you also have to run a business. But if all you care about is the art, then money has no relevance.

Business on the other hand, is all about making money.

I don't think I elaborated on the type of person that I would consider having AI psychosis. It isn't just being enthusiastic. What I've seen (and it's not common, but I've seen it a few times), is this sort of arrogance around using AI, this "better than thou" attitude, and lack of consideration for things outside of AI, in their real life.

I was talking to a friend recently, and i think i aligned with a similar definition.

I've seen people who talk nonstop about AI, and how it's changed everything, but then there's no quantifiable output that supports their claim.

On the other hand, I've had a friend start a business, and be able to create an app much much faster than what would have been possible in the past. He has real customers paying real money, which makes it easy to validate his claims.

Yes, but the baseline is the amount of fraud/crime that happens without crypto - which is extremely high.

Sure, but that takes generations to change, unfortunately

I'm not sure if there is actually any evidence of this? Criminals do very well without crypto. If you look at percent of the economy that is fraudulent, it is quite large. If you look at percentage of crypto economy that is fraudulent, it is surprisingly similar

I just can't stand how often Claude says something like "And the honest part? It's..."

Like, were the other parts not honest? I don't understand how Anthropic let it get like this, it's been such a clear regression

Would you say the same thing about people not knowing assembly after compilers came out?

I think I agree. But it's nice to have the option. Furthermore, i think it's too early to see the results of this, as technology takes a while to diffuse. Since there are so many people trying to take advantage of the hype to make a quick buck, it takes time to figure out what is actually useful and what is not

True, i agree. Which is why it will take quite some time for this technology to diffuse and for people to learn which apps really are good

Food production is at record highs last time i checked, thanks to technology

It relates to software making my life better, as OP said he can't see any examples of this

This comment comes up over and over again and it's incredibly ignorant.

To give just a single example, ai code dev has enabled people to make tools for themselves that they didn't have before.

I've made a language learning app for myself. Its working better than Duolingo so far, for me. Its not really public

to be fair, all it's doing is sampling the frames and maybe doing transcription, if I'm not mistaken. So you can do it with the other models too, you just need to sample the frames yourself and do the transcript yourself
