polskibus··on Are people's bosses making them use AI tools?
I find it interesting why this article dropped so quickly from the front page. Is there a way for privileged users to actively push an article away from it?
polskibus··on Teacher AI use is already out of control and it's not ok
I assure you, it’s similar in many EU countries. Teachers are usually paid very little, governments are not doing much to keep them, due to really bad demographics forecasts in most countries.
polskibus··on Teacher AI use is already out of control and it's not ok
Why do you think it’s different in other countries? It’s the same all over Europe too. More and more kids have ADHD or other mental issues, social networking affects social norms etc.
polskibus··on Fast
This is your brain trying conserve your energy/time by recollecting/brute-forcing/following known patterns, instead of diving into unknown. Otherwise known as „being lazy” / procrastinating.
polskibus··on Gemini Robotics On-Device brings AI to local robotic devices
What is the model architecture? I'm assuming it's far away from LLMs, but I'm curious about knowing more. Can anyone provide links that describe architectures for VLA?
polskibus··on Show HN: EnrichMCP – A Python ORM for Agents
So explicit model description (kind of repeating the schema into explicit model definition) provides better results when used with LLM because it’s closer to the business domain(or maybe the extra step from DDL to business model is what confuses the LLM?). I think I’m failing to grasp why does this approach work better than straight schema fed to Llm.
polskibus··on Show HN: EnrichMCP – A Python ORM for Agents
are you saying that a current gen LLM can answer such queries with EnrichMCP directly? or does it need guidance via prompts (for example tell it which tables to look at, etc. ) ? I did expose a db schema to LLM before, and it was ok-ish, however often times the devil was in the details (one join wrong, etc.), causing the whole thing to deliver junk answers.

what is your experience with non trivial db schemas?

polskibus··on Show HN: EnrichMCP – A Python ORM for Agents
This looks very interesting but I’m not sure how to use it well. Would you mind sharing some prompts that use it and solve a real problem that you encountered ?
polskibus··on How OpenElections uses LLMs
It’s also an excellent example on how lack of forced machine-readable format for gov publishing is a PITA.
polskibus··on Agentic Coding Recommendations
My experiments with copilot and Claude desktop via mcp on the same codebase suggest that copilot is trimming the context much more than desktop. Using the same model the outputs are just less informed.
polskibus··on Launch HN: Vassar Robotics (YC X25) – $219 robot arm that learns new skills
I guess it’s too late now, please consider EU next time. Whether I would buy it would depend on total cost. I joined the waitlist.

How can I order it to Europe?
polskibus··on OpenAI dropped the price of o3 by 80%
Is this a reaction to Apple paper showing that reasoning models don’t really reason?
polskibus··on Tell HN: Help restore the tax deduction for software dev in the US (Section 174)
How does it work for outsourcing? Do you get full tax deduction if f you just pay offshore company to do dev?
polskibus··on Tracking Copilot vs. Codex vs. Cursor vs. Devin PR Performance
What is your team’s take on the copyright for commits generated by ai agent ? Would the copyright protect it?

Current US stance seems to be: https://www.copyright.gov/newsnet/2025/1060.html “It concludes that the outputs of generative AI can be protected by copyright only where a human author has determined sufficient expressive elements”.

If entire commit is generated by AI then it is obvious what created it - it’s AI. Such commit might not be covered by the law. Is this something your team has already analysed?

polskibus··on A year of funded FreeBSD development
Thanks for the additional information, a few hours sounds great, I was expecting multiple days to narrow it down, given a lengthy feedback loop.
polskibus··on A year of funded FreeBSD development
I wonder how long did it take to bisect such issue. Build image every time and reboot a vm?
polskibus··on Show HN: Claude Composer
Still it means it does really heavy lift. I’d like to understand how to extract bigger efficiency gains from Claude etc , because currently often times I just waste time with it and give up after several attempts
polskibus··on Show HN: Claude Composer
Question for those who burn through Max limits- what type of tasks do you do that burn so much of the limit? I’d imagine it has to be a lot of code being produced? Or is it large inputs that burn through it quickly? If you run Claude so often during the day - what is it doing for you all the time?
polskibus··on Arcol simplifies building design with browser-based modeling
Shouldn’t this be a launch HN/ shown HN?
polskibus··on Anthropic launches a voice mode for Claude
It has Research , works well with Web Search. Saves a lot of time compared to googling and trying to synthesise knowledge yourself.
polskibus··on AniSora: Open-source anime video generation model
What would be the copyright status for clips generated with such service? Would the copyright protect it?

Current stance:

https://www.copyright.gov/newsnet/2025/1060.html

“It concludes that the outputs of generative AI can be protected by copyright only where a human author has determined sufficient expressive elements”.

If it isn’t covered (after all it’s the AI that drew all the pictures) then anyone using such service to produce a movie would be screwed - anyone could copy it or its characters).

I’m leaving out the problem of whether the service was trained on copyright material or not.

polskibus··on A Research Preview of Codex
I think the bigger problem, that started around 2022 is much lower volume of jobs in software development. Projects were shutdown, funding was retracted, even the big wave of migrations to the cloud died down.

Today startups mostly wrap LLMs as this is what VCs expect. Larger companies have smaller IT budgets than before (adjusted for inflation). This is the real problem that causes the jobs shortage.

polskibus··on Cell Mates: Extracting Useful Information from Tables for LLMs
Is this similar to what google does with sheets and Microsoft with excel these days?
polskibus··on Notes on rolling out Cursor and Claude Code
Jetbrains tools have MCP plugin and can work with Claude.
polskibus··on Show HN: Create your own finetuned AI model using Google Sheets
Can you share an example of such real world win where fine tuning was less effective ? I’m curious about sample business cases.
polskibus··on AI helps unravel a cause of Alzheimer’s and identify a therapeutic candidate
I’m interested in this and it seems you have done your homework. Would you mind sharing some references?
polskibus··on Deepfake porn is destroying real lives in South Korea
They are higher than South Korea. One big factor remains which are very high property prices and rents. People have a choice and want their kids to have space. If they cannot afford it then often they choose not to have kids (or have 1 less).
polskibus··on Your phone isn't secretly listening to you, but the truth is more disturbing
Do iOS apps also take screenshots of activity in other apps without consent? Does the platform allow it to, if yes then is there a way to block it?
polskibus··on Launch HN: mrge.io (YC X25) – Cursor for code review
I got Claude Desktop to perform code review using mcp in Jetbrains IDE. I don’t know why would you prefer a cloud based pipeline with separate CR tool to it. This way I can extend the review process the way I want for example adding feature specs etc. There are other issues with llm based CR but I think mcp (or similar protocol) is the way to go.
