uncivilized··on U of Michigan drops first-semester grades to ‘curb mental health crisis’
Sad state that of affairs when comments like this appear and have affirmative replies. Shows how socially unaware and one-dimensional a Hacker News is.
uncivilized··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
OP mentioned real world impact, not me. Are you saying negative real world impact is acceptable?
uncivilized··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
As long as they’re in the EU.
uncivilized··on Muse Glimmer: 30B-parameter model optimized for always-on local agent workflows
I’m sure you could find this exact same comment regarding technology in 1999.
uncivilized··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
Feel free to share your chat that has explanations for Baby Rudin.

I’d like to see what you consider helpful in this context.

uncivilized··on Is it all just vapourware?
Feel free to share specifics.
uncivilized··on Is it all just vapourware?
Yeah I expect it to be helpful in some basic image processing stuff, but it will quickly fail once you try to implement research papers on the topic.
uncivilized··on Is it all just vapourware?
Not everyone is a web developer bub
uncivilized··on Timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face
Hacker News doesn’t have the wherewithal to understand that this is just marketing by OpenAI.
uncivilized··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
Sure. Feel free to share what positive real world impact your work is having.
uncivilized··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
That has nothing to do with your work being pointless or not (it is), but more you showcasing your insecurity of having to be smarter than your peers because they use LLMs.
uncivilized··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
That was just a brief trend.

Geeks and nerds are back to being derogatory.

uncivilized··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
Do you disagree that your work is pointless?

uncivilized··on LLMs reward expertise
Hacker News is the biggest collection of idiots who think they are geniuses, so they will upvote anything that makes them feel smarter.
uncivilized··on LLMs reward expertise
Most Hacker News are working on simple JavaScript applications. LLMs quickly become unusable on any sort of specialist discipline except for the math marketing releases we’ve seen recently.
uncivilized··on My personal AI benchmark: “Generate an SVG of a frog with a Habsburg jaw”
LLMs don’t work particularly well in 3d applications in my experience. Every new model release I’ll ask one for help with my path tracer and results are horrid.

uncivilized··on Situational Awareness down 67% in July in AI stock rout
Yes he lost a ton of money. He went from being up as much as you said to up only 80% and getting liquidated at that point. If it weren’t for Citadel stepping in to buy his investments who knows how much worse it could have gotten.

The only thing you can argue is realized vs unrealized.

uncivilized··on Discovering Cryptographic Weaknesses with Claude
True. People arguing over prompts is akin to people arguing over which way to pull the lever on a slot machine.

They also have a shockingly poor grasp of computer science.
uncivilized··on Claude Opus 5
Have a link to the code?
uncivilized··on Writing by hand is good for your brain
Skill issue. I write in all my books and routinely revisit them. There are times where I can answer questions I’ve written in the margins after another read. Likewise, I also erase things and write other things as I gain more insight.
uncivilized··on Software rendering in 500 lines of bare C++
I thought this would be something new but it’s just ssloy’s tinyrenderer. Article should have a date since it’s old as dirt
uncivilized··on OpenAI and Anthropic unite against open-weight AI risks to their bottom line
If you really believe OpenAI, Anthropic, or any corporation for that matter has done something truly altruistic then I have a bridge to sell you.
uncivilized··on Google’s ATLAS is a look at how people are using AI
AI psychosis is real. Dang
