skor··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
can you please list some of the people you worked with? I really appreciate good design and am always looking for great artists that I don’t know about yet, thanks.
skor··on P(doom)
Maybe I missed it but I actively looked for anyone’s insight into the “pace the frontier” along the lines of: “we’ve hit a ceiling, so don’t expect innovations soon”. Or an excuse for having other things more important to attend..

Fear is much more powerful than any other feeling, so setting that in will definitely prepare for a good rug pull in the IPO.

As for being dangerous, a computer can be dangerous if plugged in, it may be too late to pull the plug at some point yes, but that all seems like provocation.

Plausible?

skor··on What will our economic future look like?
I can't scroll through this site on Firefox and a recent mac, anyone else?
skor··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
what do you do while agents work?
skor··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
trees can be considered intelligent, trees show complex adaptive behavior that can reasonably be called a basic form of intelligence, but not a human-like intelligence,

I do get your point though and can see what you're trying to say, it is interesting indeed. There is however a detail that seems important to me, who is the driver? There is no agency is there? So its just fishing for data, so its a different type, just like trees are from us. I see them more like a very compressed "book of everything" that you can spin in "infinite" ways to get your desired outcomes. So yeah, definitely not alive, intelligent? Not like our intelligence.

your experience is not applicable to others, thanks for your feedback and we appreciate it. Lots of people understand that nature is a part of life just like you are and live accordingly.

Any ideas where Basque may fit in?

Hi! why a port and not contribution to the original project? What were the reasons? Will this be 100% compatible in the future? Thanks!!

skor··on LLMs reward expertise
the devil is always in the details. those details are on every level you look at: human minds, nature around us, space. so if your inputs are vague, you should only expect outputs that are vague and generalized
skor··on EEG shows brain can simultaneous encode two speech streams
parents tend to yell at the same time and it needs simultaneous processing
skor··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
why rewrite if you can check for and fix bugs? If you are thinking of AI fixing bugs is less expensive

skor··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Audion - a scripting language that is very fun to write and lets you make interactive music, installations, generative compositions etc https://github.com/audion-lang/audion using supercollider or any daw and hardware. AI picks it up easy so Agentic coding in Audion works very well too.

skor··on Rich Sutton on AI creativity and discovery
yes, when you drive these systems you can get novel output, depends on the effort you put in
skor··on Claude Fable 5
people are mentioning 10K/mo 20K/mo can someone please pull out a measuring stick and give some examples of what they are doing exactly?

Coming from computing, I always liked the idea that measuring is possible and good practice

skor··on LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
follow the money, they wont be selling vinyl but generating streaming revenue, just type in what you know are paying niches and off you go to fill the hard drives with slop to be paid by advertisers on streaming platforms.
skor··on AI Engineers aren't safe from being replaced by AI
no, you use database servers, browsers and shells, everyone jumps on the react train, same as you, keep on going
skor··on LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
just verified, it cant make a decent techno track, nor a drone track nor anything experimental. Its creativity is subpar, it feels like listening to a producer that knows where things go but is tired of playing, zero interest in creating/ performing, it gives off that kind of vibe
skor··on AI Engineers aren't safe from being replaced by AI
not convinced, because if you use a shovel to do your work, you can be replaced by someone else using a shovel to do your work.

To have a job you have to show up, get in there and figure it out.

skor··on I'm Tired of Talking to AI
go to the streets, meet your friends, the internet is now an echo chamber
skor··on Where does next-token prediction leave us?
I am against how its being used as well, in fact Authoritarianism is literally "central power to preserve the political status quo" - and that is what you have folks: OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Facebook/etc are all central powers.

Coding was always power that you can have if you just read the freely available info but having access to a computer and internet is not free - if we can change this it would make democratized.

skor··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
This is _the_ question we must all be able to answer, so here goes my attempt - we all have access to the same tools, before stackoverflow it was forums, books/manuals, so its always been about “getting there, showing up, figuring it out” your hypothetical boss has other things to do than kick a LLM around at that price
