The catch is that if you don't know software development, you probably don't know what you need...

Tokens are the new LoC it seems!

> It's individual initiative, and company culture that are at play as much as budget.

I agree, but parent comment was insinuating that gp could just use an llm to verify their hypothesis, which is what I was attempting to point out in my comment. The tool isn't out of reach, but not everyone has employer sponsored LLM plans.


It's funny how many people Jobs had to fire during this period, but is still seen as a good guy to many in the tech community.

Not that different from when Musk took over Twitter.


Yes, I really like this site too, but it's a bit outdated.

"39d ago" in AI time is like 1 year outdated info.


>I, for one, like streaming apps enough that I don't want to go back to locked-down, expensive DVD players. The alternative to DRM isn't "no DRM", it's "no content".

that's a false dichotomy since piracy exists. Stop giving them money until their behavior changes. If it doesn't... oh well, you still get a better service.


I haven't read from him in a while either - but I remember reading enough tweets from him about being confident at x% probability we'll die before year z due to an Ai doing the funny

>knowing what you need.

But if you have a government department that builds software, they can also spec it. And everyones interests are aligned.

Further you open the door to bell labs/DARPA type speculative work.

Seems to me, the type of work environment where you have that freedom, are able to open source work would be attractive to a lot of people.


If it isn't, it absolutely should be.

The penalty cannot be high enough.


Another book that focuses on this period is Becoming Steve Jobs

If the goal is to review every citation fully with 100% accuracy, then, sure, exhaustive human review is needed. But I suspect human review of a random sample would add value, catching some fraud, missing others, but having zero false positives (or as close to zero as human review can get).

An LLM could replace the random sampling. It doesn't need to be particularly good for the approach to provide value. I would worry about LLM bias though.

Another thing to consider is that readers can detect fake citations after publication, report to arXiv, and the author gets banned.


Yeah. They'll never be able to stop it, but I wouldn't be surprised if just adding a little extra roadblock makes a measurable difference in their storage costs

Yeah, just not in any measure that actually counts for quality of life

So true

Amazing work!

It's not just about documentation.

If stuff really goes wrong, you need people who deeply understand the codebase so that they know where to look and how to diagnose the issue. It might be the case in the future that LLMs become so powerful they'll diagnose any issue (I doubt it), but until then, we need people in the loop.


I advised my mother to do her banking on her phone instead of laptop.

Hardware attestation kills privacy- yes. But it also works.

Mobile phones are ridiculously locked down compared to legacy platforms such as Windows.

What I think about the particular case you're talking about is irrelevant. I guess we'll see if allowing the government to police speech is still such a great idea when Reform and all future governments are in power.

This day is probably not long off. My prediction is before the end of 2028.

hey look a moron from america https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48147551

Do they really though? I understand wanting to be able to use a common layout between mobile and PC devices, but even when you factor those things in there's no reason that we should've gone from something snappy it a few 100MHz to sluggish on multicore GHz processors

Yeah forgotten, except for the OS and ObjectiveC

This! I now have to fight bad tech decisions at my companies because many devs follow influencers.

Look also at the hate spread against UE5… It’s everywhere and half of the arguments are falsehoods made by influencers with no real experience in the industry…


I have been using Deepseek v4 pro for personal projects and home infra related work for last couple of weeks. It's quality of work is not bad at all, it is fairly fast and given the fraction of the cost compared to Claude, I can keep going which makes it a very compelling option. Looking forward to trying out Kimi 2.6, thanks for the recommendation.

While this arXiv policy seems reasonable enough, I don't care for the kind of drivel some post on HN because they don't like LLMs.

I'm here because I enjoy building things. And today this mostly happens with AI. I could do without the often thoughtless comments and conspiracy theories about "LLM hypers" posted by people who don't like LLMs.


That happens at all large organisations. I worked at a large oil company and if our contracts with a vendor represented (or would have represented) more than a certain % (i forget what) of that vendors business, they didn't get the contract. As well as having vendors more likely to stay in existence, it stops the org being "morally responsible" for keeping them afloat.

Ah, OK. It still seems reasonable they might report the number in the court affadavit with one month lag for various reasons. The root cause in the discrepancy is just that Anthropic claims to be (and appears to be) on a ridiculous tear, with +35% MoM growth. OP and Ed both seem to dismiss this as impossible, but it seems to align with Anthropic's recent desperate search for more capacity.

That’s literally the thing I called out as being cross repo, auth.
