ungreased0675··on Reducing Costs with local hosting and small AI
I recommend exploring different models using llama.cpp. It will recommend models that will work on your hardware, and you can download a coding-focused one from Hugging Face.
ungreased0675··on The tiny transmitter tracking monarch butterflies' migration, Canada to Mexico
Truly impressive technology. I would have been very confident it was impossible to put an RF tracker on a butterfly.
ungreased0675··on Ask HN: Are companies making money by using AI?
As a product manager, AI made my developers happier, but the product didn’t launch any faster.
ungreased0675··on Burying the Evidence: nine out of every 10 time capsules go missing
I don’t like the unnecessarily snarky tone of this article. It distracts from the main topic.
ungreased0675··on US FAA says it will phase out floppy disks from air traffic control by 2028
These are not serious people.
ungreased0675··on Tesla and SpaceX lose over $420B in combined market cap in the two days
Lawfare is coming, everyone knows it.
ungreased0675··on Leak the exact location of any video using sound of nearby airplanes
This is incredible, but I can’t imagine many positive applications of this technology.
ungreased0675··on A wave of plastic-free coffee pods and machines
Ceramics are generally much harder than steel.
ungreased0675··on Big Tech claims voters' AI backlash is "anti-Trump" not "anti-tech"
Not anti-tech. It’s anti-tech company.
ungreased0675··on A wave of plastic-free coffee pods and machines
A Chemex with properly weighed and proportioned beans makes excellent coffee. It’s also plastic free and there isn’t a wait list.
ungreased0675··on A wave of plastic-free coffee pods and machines
Can you explain why? I don’t know enough about coffee grinders to work out how there could be any difference in the end product.
ungreased0675··on Tell HN: Declare your trader status to continue distributing apps on Google Play
In this context, what is a trader?

Phone number and address? Why?

ungreased0675··on Show HN: Which colour has more dots? A quick visual guessing game
Interesting game, what was the inspiration behind it?
ungreased0675··on Graduates are managing AI – but are they learning much else?
Going to college only to be hired as a slot machine handle puller seems like a waste of resources.
ungreased0675··on Curiosity Traps
I love this description of the search to find one’s people.

But to keep it 100 with you all, nobody has touched my doorknob in a while. How might I improve the odds of finding my people?

ungreased0675··on Electrochromic Smart Window with Transparent–Opaque Switchable Radiative Cooling
This needs a lot more pictures for me to understand it. Sounds like a promising technology.
ungreased0675··on Brazilian Court Sanctions Lawyers for Prompt Injection in Court Filing
LLMs have built-in biases and preferences. It seems irresponsible to be feeding them court documents and asking for analysis or decisions. Prompt injection is level one manipulation, there are linguistic games that can have similar results but aren’t as detectable.
ungreased0675··on Ask HN: Has Google started cleaning their search results from AI slop?
Google must improve their core search product because it’s far simpler and faster to ask LLMs for quick answers. If SEO spammers get run over in the process, that’s a good outcome.
ungreased0675··on I Hate Online Waiting Rooms
The event organizers likely prefer that the most dedicated, excited fans attend. Fans willing to wait hours for tickets or pay more (mostly) select for that criteria. A lottery is more fair to everyone with an interest in attending, but does not reward the most committed fans.

There is probably a system that is fair and rewards fans, but I can’t think of one at the moment.

ungreased0675··on Ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer (2022)
Unless I missed it, it doesn’t speculate why?
ungreased0675··on Retired professor arrested for blocking delivery robot. Will do it again
I don’t want robots on the sidewalk because I guarantee they won’t move out of the way of people jogging, kids riding bikes, older people, etc. They’re moving obstacles. Delivery drones are a more respectful option, as long as they’re quiet like the Zipline ones Walmart uses.
ungreased0675··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
If the exchanges can and will coordinate like this, doesn’t it reduce the value proposition of crypto?
ungreased0675··on How I Built the Most AI-Pilled Company in the World
Who is funding this stuff? I can’t imagine a company like this is profitable in the short term. But won’t costs keep rising as the program gets bigger?
ungreased0675··on We ran AI agent swarms in Minecraft and Mindustry
I’d love to have a few NPC players wandering around my Minecraft server. Are there good ways to do this?
ungreased0675··on This image will get blurrier everytime someone sees it & be gone after 10 views
I like the creativity, not sure about the social media aspect.
ungreased0675··on SS United States to be sunk as largest artificial reef
Beautiful ship, that’s going to be awesome to dive on.
ungreased0675··on DoD's reasons for CMMC pause falling apart in face of RFI responses
CMMC is a rent seeking, regulatory capture scam intended to enrich the people who got in early.
ungreased0675··on Looking for a tech job is a helpless data-entry nightmare
I don’t know either, but you have a great attitude and I wish you good luck.
ungreased0675··on New iPad mini
Can I please have an iPhone mini next?
ungreased0675··on Why California's $33B Bullet Train Is Now a $231B Problem [video]
Politicians, unions, construction companies, environmental groups, and other interests see this project as a resource to extract. Having it built is not aligned with that view.
