You can always do some sports betting on your phone while your getting driven around.

Is the remote operator actually driving under normal conditions, or do they just step in during an exigent circumstance?

No reason to be uncivil. It's a bit of a stretch to say that "clanker" is related to race in any way. Lots of slurs have nothing to do with race, you're projecting your own bias and prejudices as some sort of universal linguistic truth. In highschool band the percussionists called the wind section "honkers," were they making some vailed n-word allusion? No, it was silly and the wind section were all blowhards so we made fun of them with a little in-group slur.

Thanks, now I need to build a faraday cage around my chest to stop the CIA from polygraphing me at range.

Adds another layer at the bottom of the pyramid scheme, keep the party going a little longer!

The ability to launder money across borders without any Know-Your-Customer restrictions.

In the tribunals to come, whoever implemented the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag will be prosecuted as a war criminal.

I swear Im not trying to be glib or dismissive, but I honestly think you dont know what "privatization" means, this is the exact opposite.

Well, the current administration and the National Socialists do have some things in common.

One use case I'd love to see an easy plug-and-play solution for is a RAG build around companies vast internal documentation/wikis/codebase to help developers onboard and find information faster. I would love to see less of people trying to replace humans with language models and more of people trying to use language models to make humans jobs less frustrating.

I think having near-CASM on your social medias home page is kinda an issue but maybe thats just me.

I dont know about yall, but personally I love to see an AI running with "--dangerously-skip-permissions" in an infinite loop. Every day we get closer to the cyberpunk future we deserve.

I absolutely abhor the design of this site. I cannot engage with the content as Im filled with a deep burning hatred of the delivery. Anyone making a personal site: do not do this.

Perhaps the driver would have acted differently if Tesla hadnt sold him a product called "autopilot."

Well, I dont think anyone else contributed a system called "autopilot."

I've always been somewhat partial to the stellarator design, I mean a big plasma donut is cool and all, but what if we twisted it around a whole bunch first!?

For anyone else looking for examples: https://huggingface.co/spaces/kyutai/hibiki-samples

I love the attempt at bribery by offering to "sponsor" their empty youtube channel.

Clicked on one of the comics to see how the images came out and it immediately started playing audio. Auto playing media equals an instant tab closure never to return.

Might be a good time to stop having sex with mosquitos.

Had a funny conversation with a friend of mine recently who told me about how he's in the middle of his yearly review cycle, and management is strongly encouraging him and his team to make greater use of AI tools. He works in biomedical lab research and has absolutely no use for LLMs, but everyone on his team had a great time using the corporate language model to help write amusing resignation letters as various personalities, pirate resignation, dinosaur resignation etc. I dont think anyone actually quit, but what a great way to absolutely nuke team moral!

This article is a great example of why baseball is such an incredibly boring sport.

Does it have an SDK? Can I add my own features?

The only metric I really care about, and the one that I think shows the fundamental failure of LLMs as a technology, is this one here [1]. The fact that o1 fails a non-zero amount of the time on the question, "what is 6*1?" means that the models just do not "understand" _anything_ and are still just fancy stochastic parrots. Now, stochastic parrots are still useful! Just not the digital god a lot of people seam to think we're heading towards.

So Im sure this topic would be contentious in the extreme, but Im legitimately curious about how the HN community is split in regards to DOGE. Seems like a very polarizing topic, and from reading comments I have no idea how the community at large feels.

Maybe this guy isnt the first person to discover the backdoor and your mattress has been mining crypto. This whole thing is straight out of a Cory Doctorow novel.

A $20/month bed subscription is objectively hilarious. I cant imagine how this company attracts a non-zero number of clients.

I immediately copy/pasted in some smut to check if it was going to lecture me on my moral failings and was pleasantly shocked to find a corporate AI model that did what I asked without pushing puritanical nonsense one me.

The example code reminds me how much I absolutely loath python async/await syntax.

>>> server_names=["fetch", "filesystem"]

This is, IMO, bad design. Where is the fetch defined? How would I find these? If it was an imported module I could easily find the definition to see what its doing, or subclass it to make my own, but instead its just some magic strings getting passed making it astronomically more difficult to understand what the heck is going on.

Ollama is a tool for running any sort of model, not just llama based models. The name is confusing.
