vincston··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Can you elaborate? Is it because the models are inherently not deterministic? But then, will it not get better with time? I mean arent we just at the beginning of the research here?
vincston··on Three Inverse Laws of AI
Honestly big noobquestion: isn't math just very very nested patternmatching based on a few foundational operators? ive always felt, that im bad at math, cause i forget all the rules, but seeing solutions (and knowing the used pattern) always made "sense".

I always thought the hard math problems are so deeply nested or you have to remember trick xyz that people just didnt think about it yet..

vincston··on Talking to strangers at the gym
I think this is a very subjective matter and depends on how negatively connoted someone's perception of the word 'manipulate' is. By your definition, I would consider 'studying/learning' also a form of manipulation.
vincston··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
For me its more his attitude that puts me off. He might be intelligent, but his EQ doesnt seem that high. The condescending way he references the "malcolm in the middle"-episode "hot dumb girl" couldve been just the explaination of the "1 dollar = 1 million dollar".
vincston··on Florida judge rules red light camera tickets are unconstitutional
Its baffling to me how the US cannot handle their traffic laws. How is there any doubt in running a red light? Why can they not let common sense handle it? Just fine the car owner without question. Car owners will think twice borrowing their cars. Easy detection, less bureaucracy. And hopefully safer streets.

Well if this abuse is common the fines should rise. How would you enforce it otherwise?
vincston··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
What google search alternative have you found? Im trying out ecosia, duckduckgo and brave search, but i find their search results even worse, so in the second query i tend to bang to google..
vincston··on Hard-braking events as indicators of road segment crash risk
Honestly imo the driving license requirements and the respective fines for violations is too low. Rigid rules generally improve the traffic flow. But as soon as someone just doesnt care, the system breaks down.
vincston··on LLM Agents Are Simply Graph – Tutorial for Dummies
Why forget about boxes and deterministic control and start thinking of error tolerance and recovery? I know, that LLMs are statistical models, but can you not use patterns to enforce a deterministic outcome? (Single responsibility for each agent, retrying llm calls, rephrasing prompts, etc?)
vincston··on Kunkun – open-source, cross-platform, extensible app launcher
Hopefully it can fill the void in Linux and Windows Systems. And please without subscription. If it works fine id love to pay 50$+ like the Alfred Powerpack

Thanks, good workaround :)

Wow same for me. Been using it for quite some time but just noticed the bug, what a coincidence to see it here.
vincston··on A Quick Puzzle to Test Your Problem Solving
Sadly ive already seen Veritasiums test. so i was biased.
vincston··on Ask HN: I am busy with too many things at once
I'd love to have concrete and applicable hobby, but that isnt the case. Some people (like me) still have no clear thing in mind. Take me for example.

I'm still a student, studying computerscience and I'm almost finished. The problem is, my fun in computerscience is simply limited, sometimes it really makes a lot of fun. Sometimes it doesnt (Majority, since I am really unmotivated). Now. The problem is, I don't have anything I'd consider to do for the rest of my life. Was totally clueless after graduating from school and I'm still unsure. This just doesnt sound like a good future, but I really cant figure.

For now I'll just graduate from university. Any Advice?
