nubg··on Felony Bench
Thank you, this benchmark to me proves that closed weight model companies are dangerous for our democracy and put kids at risk. They must be outlawed and all models must be made open weights!

welp, damning indictment. not sure if that means DS is super crap, or qwen is super good
nubg··on Detecting scraper bots through scroll behaviour
if by "bot" we mean "not economically interesting", aren't websites within their right to filter our hacker-nerds who probably won't click on ads and buy useless objects?
nubg··on If this is true, the hyperscalers are toast
As much as I want local and open-weights models to succeed, nothing beats a paid frontier model for now. Anybody who claims otherwise is simply not a daily user of such models. So this "investor" here should invest sime time in actually using the various LLM models and get a real taste of what it's like.

very happy for you that things turned out this way
nubg··on Judge relying wholly on AI in order is covered by judicial immunity, court rules
either the judge made the decision (in which case he has immunity) or he didn't (in which case he isn't the right person to sue)

the correct steps are appeals in the merit and disciplinary action against the judge

nubg··on Stripe will reportedly acquire OpenRouter for $7B+
> but with open router you can create a no China provider selector

why on earth would you trust no data is sent to China? just because you clicked a toggle?

nubg··on Models Are Getting Dumber on Purpose
good article but why did the author feel like he needed to "polish" it by running it through an LLM? i would rather like to read the actual prompt he put in there, as now i'm not sure which points are his, and which have been hallucinated!
nubg··on Ask HN: Do you know of any company that went back to hand-written code?
I think most AI doomers will tell you that the quality of their code is better than LLM-generated code.
nubg··on Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk
bro the problem is not eating burgers every time you see them. if eating a pill once a day will prevent somebody from having these urges people will easily make this a routine. fat people don't like being fat (body positive is the world biggest cope). if you give them something they gotta take once a day, takes 10 seconds, they will throw their money at you.

nubg··on The TEMU-Fication of Software, Digital Goods and Services
good article, mostly because i have a feeling it was 100% hand written. thanks for not using ai. makes it much more authentic
nubg··on Qwen 3.8 27B
no, because there is another human involved.

llms are not human.

nubg··on Qwen 3.8 27B
just to clarify. yes YOU built it. just because you used some tool doesn't mean the idea, prompting, reprompting, babysitting was not your creative input and effort.

put differently, if you put a random person infront of whatever model you used (say, a 50yo receptionist at a pharmacy in india), they would not have been able to create that, because they would have lacked the motivation, idea, background knowledge, taste, etc to create such a thing.

We need to fight the talking point that open source is bad!
