j_maffe··on Claude: System Prompts
Almost all of my karma is from a single post link that blew up randomly. I think this is the case for most users' karma here.
j_maffe··on Saying No
But that seems to have little to do with the quote... I'm confused.
j_maffe··on New Mexico court orders Meta to pay $567m over harms to children’s mental health
You think they'll shutdown FB?
j_maffe··on Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2
What does cheating benchmarks have to do with breaching financial user agreements? To use your argument: all it takes is one whistleblower to get the company sued for billions of dollars.

> If not, congrats, you're on the same intellectual level as a racist.

I remember HN comments used to be of higher quality than this.

> So I'd rather spare myself from explaining it.

Being snarky doesn't really help your position.

It's good as a community to communicate what we prefer to read. At least that way the author knows why they're getting the cold shoulder.

Such a brain-dead idea...

Cheating how? The proof is in the pudding...
j_maffe··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
> No one is claiming that time is a random variable drawn from a normal distribution.

You are doing that implicitly by fitting a Gaussian curve.

j_maffe··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
> statistically speaking

That's a very big word you're using there for what is basically making shapes out of clouds. A bell-curve is the amortised function of a random variable with a mean and standar deviation. What does that have to do with a timeseries dataset?

j_maffe··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
I'd call it significant that the number of questions halved within one year following the release of ChatGPT, the biggest relative or absolute rate of decrease in the timeseries.
j_maffe··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
You don't just fit a Gaussian distribution to a timeseries dataset. That's not what a Gaussian curve is designed for at all. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1725:_Linear_Regr...
j_maffe··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
> There's no one drop where "AI got into the market"

Sure there is, number of questions halved from 100K in first of November 2022 to 50K exactly one year later.

j_maffe··on Kimi K3, and what we can still learn from the pelican benchmark
> better models consistently renders pelican in higher quality The article literally avoid making this argument and gives counterexamples to this statement.
j_maffe··on Kimi K3, and what we can still learn from the pelican benchmark
Yes and that would improve its ability to draw SVGs of pelicans on bikes, no?
j_maffe··on Logseq 2.0 Beta (DB version) is here
Yeah I felt the same about the decision when they decided to move to database structure. If it had this structure from the start it could've built up an ecosystem like Obsidian's but now it's hard to justify going for it.
j_maffe··on Claude Code May–July 2026 weekly limits promotion
They announced from the start that Fable was going to be on subscription for a trial period only, no?
j_maffe··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
Didn't they announce they're stopping that system?
j_maffe··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
I think it's a worthy retort simply because it's the only other major provider.

> because whoever was responsible for that would have had paid for it in front of the American legal system or American people

That literally never happened.

> By June 17, 2008, six defendants had their cases dropped and a seventh was found not guilty.[5] The only one of the eight charged to face punishment was Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich. On October 3, 2007, the Article 32 hearing investigating officer recommended that charges of murder be dropped and Wuterich be tried for negligent homicide in the deaths of two women and five children.[6] Further charges of assault and manslaughter were ultimately dropped. Wuterich pled guilty to the only remaining charge, one count of negligent dereliction of duty, and was convicted on January 24, 2012.[7][8]

Which country was the US bombing to the ground at this period you're reminiscing on?

You haven't given a single reason why that would be beneficial.

j_maffe··on Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left
Not sure what you mean by blackmailing but it can't be the right word here.
j_maffe··on Meta repeatedly snubs EU body over Facebook and Instagram user bans
yes but it's also the other way around, no? _businesses pages_ bring hundreds of thousands of eyes to _facebook/instagram_ that otherwise would not see FB/IG.
j_maffe··on Claude Opus 4.8
it took significant research efforts to just understand how these models learn how to multiply two numbers. The fact that we know how they operate doesn't mean we understand it.
