RohMin··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
Do you think the average person would need this sort of clarification? How many of us would have recommended to walk?

I thought this was a solid take

RohMin··on Claude Opus 4.6
I guess with ~50 years of CPU advancements, 3-4 seconds for a TUI to open makes it seem like we lost the plot somewhere along the way.
RohMin··on Golang's big miss on memory arenas
I wish Odin could gain more traction
RohMin··on MacBook Air M4
First time I've heard someone say a thinkpad is bulky
RohMin··on Most-Watched Software Engineering Talks of 2024
I really want to learn his methodology to writing software
RohMin··on Firing programmers for AI is a mistake
Who knows? It just needs to be better than the average engineer.
RohMin··on Firing programmers for AI is a mistake
I do feel with the rise of "reasoning" class of models, it's not hard to believe that code quality will improve over time.
RohMin··on Gemini 2.0 is now available to everyone
This is a policy enforced by OpenAI, not OpenRouter
RohMin··on Beej's Guide to Git
git switch focuses on switching branches while git checkout extends further than that
RohMin··on GitHub Is Down
That's actually a really interesting way to leverage that feature. Have you found this easier than other services built specifically for this use case?
RohMin··on "We're building a new static type checker for Python"
I guess there's something about Python that just makes it really easy to read and write for me. I haven't found another language that fits the vibe. From my experience, the resentment towards stronger typing comes from developers misusing it.
RohMin··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
this comment section smells like Reddit - ugh
RohMin··on Nvidia Rides AI Wave to Pass Apple as Largest Company
Those "actual" working products had little use until infrastructure was built around it to make it useful. The same could definitely be happening to LLMs, we'll just have to wait and see. It is just way too early to claim that they're a mimic of a product.
RohMin··on Nvidia Rides AI Wave to Pass Apple as Largest Company
It's unfair to dismiss and simplify this technology when it only just started reaching critical mass ~2 years ago. Looking at history, transformative technologies rarely show immediate productivity gains. The internet took nearly a decade from the early 1990s before we saw clear economic impact. Electricity needed 30 years (1890s-1920s) to significantly transform industrial productivity, as factories had to completely redesign their operations. Personal computers were around since the late 1970s, but their productivity impact wasn't measurable until the late 1980s/early 1990s. Major technological shifts require time for society to develop optimal use cases, build supporting infrastructure, and adapt workflows
RohMin··on Always Already Programming
I'd rather view this simply as programmers interact with computers differently than users.
RohMin··on Scaling will never get us to AGI
This is actually a great perspective to have. The idea that there is no fundamental law of physics that should prevent us from replicating or exceeding the functionality of the human brain through artificial means makes this a question of when, not if.
RohMin··on 'Lavender': The AI machine directing Israel's bombing in Gaza
Easy to say when you're likely not there experiencing the conflict first hand...give ME a break
RohMin··on A generalist AI agent for 3D virtual environments
I guess you're not necessarily improving your social skills playing alone?
RohMin··on Mistral Large
I haven't been able to get a great answer regarding why OpenAI is consistently leading the pack. What could they possibly be doing different? I can't imagine they've invented a technique that nobody else can reach at this point
RohMin··on Low serotonin levels might explain some Long Covid symptoms, study proposes
While most of the body’s serotonin is indeed in the gut, the serotonin that impacts our mood, sleep, and other cognitive functions is exclusively produced and used in the brain.
RohMin··on Using ChatGPT Plugins with LLaMA
The reason I ask is because I feel that a memory model is one of the major bottlenecks toward AGI.
RohMin··on Using ChatGPT Plugins with LLaMA
With the introduction of plugins, is it feasible to give ChatGPT some kind of long term and short term memory model?
RohMin··on Show HN: I built a better UI for ChatGPT
Forgive me if I’m just being naive but couldn’t you look at the source from the browser dev tools?
RohMin··on Tell HN: Confluent laying off 8% of staff
I feel that the original post rubbed me the wrong way. The whole "others have it worse, so toughen up" doesn't serve to help anyone.
RohMin··on Tell HN: Confluent laying off 8% of staff
Empathy for those laid off shouldn't vary based on visa status. These are real people losing their jobs, searching for another job in an already saturated market.
RohMin··on Afraid to Google a thing because I don't want the algorithm to think I like it
It must be miserable to use technology with such paranoia.
RohMin··on Write libraries instead of services, where possible
How are we to survive then
RohMin··on Apple Updates Air, Pro Laptops, Kills Off the MacBook
This thread is a perfect example as to why Apple will never please everyone.
