Huh
yakbarber··on Show HN: Fanfa – Interactive and animated Mermaid diagrams
love it!
yakbarber··on Google Antigravity exfiltrates data via indirect prompt injection attack
that's basically saying "you can't process user input". sure you can take that line, but users wont find your product to be very useful
yakbarber··on iPhone Pocket
I honestly thought this was satire at first, maybe April 1st? A joke for sure. Nope, they've given us a pocket.
yakbarber··on Signal threatens to leave Europe if Chat Control is accepted
I don't know where your here is but where my here is, most of my contacts are on signal and it's probably the main app I use to chat with everyone
yakbarber··on Sora 2
that's a really great question.

I think that it reduces down to "reward without effort is bad for you" - in so many different contexts in life, especially entertainment.

yakbarber··on LLM codegen go brrr – Parallelization with Git worktrees and tmux
I think OP means they should be collaborating. In the posters proposed solution each agent is independent. But you could reduce the human attention required by having multiple rounds of evaluation and feedback from other agents before it gets to the human.
yakbarber··on OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive
That's always been the case and was obvious to many from the start.

It really wont be that long until we see some ~GPT4 llm embedded locally in a chip on the next iPhone release...

yakbarber··on The effect of physical fitness on mortality is overestimated
I don't think I'd agree with their hypothesis though that there's no connection between dying in a random accident and fitness.

Fit people:

1. more able to "get out of the way" / coordination / agility

2. faster reaction time

3. potentially suffer a reduced injury

4. more likely to recover than die from the injury

There's probably a dozen rational things we could think of to counter that hypothesis.
