pknerd··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
The reason OpenAI is whining:

> OpenAI’s o1 costs $60 per million output tokens; DeepSeek R1 costs $2.19. This nearly 30x difference brought the trend of falling prices to the attention of many people.

From Andrew Ng's recent DeeplearningAI newsletter

OpenAI steals the data from Youtube and the Internet so that's no fair either.
pknerd··on Introducing ChatGPT Gov
Seems an OpenAI employee downvoted it.
pknerd··on Introducing ChatGPT Gov
Why would gov agencies rely on 3rd party services while they could deploy opensource LLMs locally and privately?
pknerd··on Show HN: Using YOLO to Detect Office Chairs in 40M Hotel Photos
I wonder how good Gpt and Claude could do it. What would be the computational cost difference?
pknerd··on Show HN: Cs16.css – CSS library based on CS 1.6 UI
Awesome

Though I am not a gamer I have seen my son playing different games, I loved it not because it belonged to a certain game but because it is clean and different.

Are there any other unique CSS libs that could be used on pages?

pknerd··on TikTok goes dark in the US
For the same reasons US is doing now ;)
pknerd··on TikTok goes dark in the US
> Yes, and?

Americans usually whined and complained that China banned US social media

Economic Hitmen
pknerd··on TikTok goes dark in the US
From CBSNews:

> U.S. officials have repeatedly warned that TikTok threatens national security because the Chinese government could use it as a vehicle to spy on Americans or covertly influence the U.S. public by amplifying or suppressing certain content.

In other words, US officials are scared that China is going to do what the USA has been doing with American social media apps in various countries

nope
pknerd··on Show HN: I made an open source directory of where to showoff your projects
The world does not revolve around compilers and SDKs..I am talking about problems laymen face
pknerd··on Show HN: I made an open source directory of where to showoff your projects
I am more interested to find platforms where laymen share their pains about items they use.
pknerd··on FFmpeg by Example
Kind of OT: Does anyone know any video editing library in Python that adds fancy/animated text with background?
pknerd··on Ask HN: What are some (weird) ways you're using ChatGPT?
Error probability is high to see/write 11-16 digit long numbers.
pknerd··on Ask HN: What are some (weird) ways you're using ChatGPT?
Or GenZ codewords: ngl,ikr,irl etc.
pknerd··on Ask HN: I Need Help
I feel sorry for you, but it is never a good idea to leave everything up to a consultancy of any sort (especially tax or lawyer-related matters) to third parties. On the other hand, this is a good opportunity for you to start a product that actually addresses this issue. I’m sure you’re not alone in facing this challenge. You could charge a nominal subscription fee to your customers.

Regarding your original request, I recommend applying to the recent January posts on HN Hiring (link: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring).

All the best!

I am an experienced automation developer specializing in Python. Over the last two years, I have focused on AI and automation, leveraging various LLMs to streamline back-office and internal processes. My projects include AI-driven conversational chatbots for lead capture with seamless CRM integration, as well as customer support AI systems that reduce human error and ensure accurate information delivery.

I also maintain a blog where I write about and build projects in Generative AI and algorithmic trading. Currently, I am working on an exciting project utilizing Claude for consumer behavior analysis. The system allows users to input a CSV file with shopping/order data, enabling Claude to "sense" the data, generate Python code for exploratory data analysis, execute it, and produce comprehensive insights. This challenging project showcases my skills in integrating cutting-edge AI into practical applications.

pknerd··on Ask HN: What is the best thing you read in 2024?
- Naval's Almanac

- Clear Thinking by Shane Parrish

I have started reading "Book of Life" by J.KrishnaMurti

pknerd··on Books I Loved Reading in 2024
A kind of off-topic:

How do you, as a techie, find time to read most of the books? Any tips or hacks? Ryan Holiday once mentioned that he managed to read extensively by always keeping books with him, allowing him to read whenever he found some spare time.

pknerd··on From where I left
I have used Claude(Free) for coding and architecture-related questions and found it pretty solid but I found chatGPT a generalist LLM that is good at many things. Is Claude the same? Or you found Claude better for coding related tasks?

pknerd··on Amazon to invest another $4B in Anthropic
I used GPT as a free customer and now a paid one. I was never asked to leave after a few messages (20ish) by GPT.
pknerd··on Amazon to invest another $4B in Anthropic
Rival? They kick you out after a few messages and ask you to come back later. Gpt doesn't do that
