rbtprograms··on Claude Design
i dont disagree. but there is a difference between great design and entirely acceptable and shippable design.
rbtprograms··on Gas Town: From Clown Show to v1.0
you can always fire it up yourself and see what its all about. in my experience it generates a lot of code very quickly, that code is probably only ever supposed to be LLM maintained, not by people.
rbtprograms··on EFF is leaving X
what are you even talking about? they arent suppressing free speech, they are leaving a platform. this might be the most bot-like response ive ever seen, if youre not a bot then go outside, read a book, just log off my goodness.
rbtprograms··on OpenAI Acquires TBPN
oh wow you were not kidding
rbtprograms··on I built an AI receptionist for a mechanic shop
in general these types of attacks are still difficult to solve, because there are a lot of different ways they can be formulated. llm based security is still and unknown, but mostly i have seen people using intermediary steps to parse question intent and return canned responses if the question seems outside the intended modality.
rbtprograms··on Welcome to the Wasteland: A Thousand Gas Towns
kinda reads like an advertisement for dolt?
rbtprograms··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
i actually agree with this take; i dont see the problem that smart glasses solve. what, my phone screen isnt literally in front of my eyeballs 24/7? i have a need to be absolutely plugged into scrolling social media and consuming content so much that i just have to have the screen in my glasses? this feels much more like what tech companies want people to want rather than what people want.
rbtprograms··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
put something out there wade. whats your preference?
rbtprograms··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
what would you prefer? i liked rust a lot as i found the compiler feedback loop pretty great, but the language was much more verbose and i found the simplicity of Go to be great, and the typing system is good enough for almost everything.
rbtprograms··on Layoffs at Block
i think they dont have a great moat in their individual offerings, but across square, cash app, and afterpay they offer a pretty good suite of products for the entire transaction stack.
rbtprograms··on What is happening to writing? Cognitive debt, Claude Code, the space around AI
this actually makes the most sense, and would be a pretty meta comment :D im not very good at detecting sarcasm/meta commentary over the internet but it does add up here.
rbtprograms··on What is happening to writing? Cognitive debt, Claude Code, the space around AI
its interesting how much this comment feels like its AI written.

if it isn't, then it has seeped into your writing style and its quite a turn off as a reader; i dont care much to engage.

if it is, then why should i read it? what come to this website and even bother reading AI bot comments?

what is happening to writing indeed.

rbtprograms··on I’m joining OpenAI
pretty much yea
rbtprograms··on Show HN: I built "AI Wattpad" to eval LLMs on fiction
so you havent read any of them, very nice product you got there. i stand by my original statement.
rbtprograms··on Show HN: I built "AI Wattpad" to eval LLMs on fiction
have you read any of the generated stories? if you can honestly tell me this is not complete drivel (even worse, wildly generic and poorly written) then i will consider giving real feedback but i would find that hard to believe.
rbtprograms··on Show HN: I built "AI Wattpad" to eval LLMs on fiction

rbtprograms··on Qwen3-Max-Thinking
it seems they believed that superior models would be the moat, but when deepseek essentially replicated o1 they switched to the ecosystem as the moat.
rbtprograms··on ManusAI Joins Meta
Would that be odd? AI companies are still staffed by people, and large announcements like acquihires certainly feel like they could use a slightly more human touch if they truly mean a lot to the company.
rbtprograms··on Anthropic: You can't change your Claude account email address
I can only assume there is some database structuring issue where things would potentially be broken if emails aren't update correctly, but I'm just guessing.
rbtprograms··on The number line freaks me out (2016)
i would argue our built in heuristics for probability are pretty bad, which is why the monty hall problem is so hard for most people to grasp (even though it is a relatively straight forward application of probability). probabilistic thinking comes much less naturally to the human mind than deterministic thinking.
rbtprograms··on We cut costs by 70% by moving from GCP and CockroachDB to Hetzner and PostgreSQL
Yea, the obivously AI-generated big-titty anime woman header was super out of place.
rbtprograms··on How to use deep learning for automated color tagging of products? (2022)
I was thinking the same thing, and I believe there are trade offs you make in both methods. If you count and group, you just have to pick your own hexcode buckets. So orange and gold are their top two colors in the example, and on our end we would jsut have to decide what range of hex values correlates to orange and what range correlates to gold and what range applies to everything. With deep learning these ranges are effectively learned, so it's more computational and feels like overkill but I can see the benefits.

If I were at work I would probably just choose my buckets and group by the hex counts though, a lot less computation in that and you can get consistent results. If I were having fun I would fit a deep net.

rbtprograms··on Show HN: I made an app to use local AI as daily driver
thanks, its a great project
rbtprograms··on Show HN: I made an app to use local AI as daily driver
Looks great! Does it support different sized models, i.e. can I run llama 70B and 7B, and is there a way to specify which model to chat with? Are there plans to allow users to ingest their own models through this UI?
rbtprograms··on What Is Happening with ChatGPT?
well if what we enter are inputs, then nonsensical inputs producing unpredictable or even nonsensical outputs lines up a bit imo.

I was able to reproduce this just now actually, entered something very similar to yours and it just started spewing.

rbtprograms··on Cormac McCarthy has died
McCarthy was one of my bigger introductions to what I could call a more "adult" form of literature. He was one of my favorite novelists when I was in my late teens and early 20's, and I believe him to be a master of setting a tone in a novel. Truly will never forget the first time I read Blood Meridian.
rbtprograms··on Rebuilding Babel: The Tokenizer
This is way more in depth of an evaluator than I've ever written, but it's a fun project. I'm a largely self taught dev and build an evaluator was an illuminating project for me. Mine was just a math parser but this is a cool project!
rbtprograms··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
I thought Tooth and Tail fit this bill pretty well, kind of like a StarCraft lite. Games are meant to be quick, about 5-12 minutes. Good strategy RTS that isn't hard to get into and I had a lot of fun with it.
rbtprograms··on We are publishing the tax secrets of the .001%
I have a friend who is a member of the ultra rich, and this is exactly how his family uses their portfolio. They currently can borrow with .03% interest through their brokerage.
rbtprograms··on As Amazon deforestation hits 12 year high, France rejects Brazilian soy
I think it's generally easy to point the finger at others while ignoring our own short comings. I feel the same way about the USA pointing the finger at other countries human rights violations while simultaneously struggling to come to terms with our own treatment of minorities and indigenous people in the past.

Maybe it's a mix of hypocrisy and political gain. I just hope there comes a time where we can all do better.
