- neumann parentThank you. It is always intimidating to see how people are using 5-10 agents for coding, but haven't seen practical examples of the process and how people do this specifically.
- This is definitely something to be aware of - especially with larger companies that aren't growing fast and this culture begins to be baked in. You see so many colleagues going the extra mile past their role requirements to earn that rare promotion, essentially jockeying to be in the running. All hands are about 'calling out' great performers and thanking them. Thank them by paying them more please.
As soon as they get the promotion, the work piles on even more, and they won't be given the amount they would if they switched companies.
- This is actually nice and balanced, but the title is misleading. I feel like ALL I hear about maintaining an open source project is how hard it is and how people burn our. I almost never read a blogpost or comment declaring how rewarding it is. So, this was a nice (slightly) more balanced view.
- I've given up on America. Democracy has essentially been destroyed in front of our eyes. So many of the current ICE and administrations acts are clearly setting up/testing response to secure the midterms through fear, intimidation, corruption, and blatant disregard for the law. And it will succeed because there is no one at this stage in authority to speak up, and they already fired anybody who wasn't aligned/acolytes.
Now I just hope these Nazi tactics don't continue to become a playbook in my country. Meanwhile, actual Nazis are emboldened and encouraged.
- I think mentioned elsewhere here, https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID is great for this. I did something similar with an opp shop Fisher Price[0] record player, with the RFID reader under the turntable and each 'card' is a laminated record cover with the rfid stuck on it. Lots of good photos of different implementations in their issue threads.
We also use it for kids podcasts (autodownloads them weekly). I added a TTS script that generates a friendly audio message from a text file that can be triggered to play from an alarm or for a specific record. This announces the weather with a Dad joke at the end. I tried to automate the last one with various sources (db, LLM, etc - but felt too cold, so I just dictate it to the server from the phone) and usually add a customised message about our family calendar (wear a jacket for rain. cousins are coming today).

- I have been using code + vscode extensively for coding, but in the last few months it has been a frustrating downgrade compared to the same prompts and code being pasted into chatGPT.
Is this going to be the way forward? Switching to whichever is better at a task, code base or context?
- Rather than anti-AI, I think most of the HN crowd are educated enough about underlying technology and it's capabilities to see the snake oil being pushed. Most of us would have given it a good go (and probably still use it daily), just know the difference between its actual limitations and the dreams that are being sold.
- My company has no idea what it wants. It just released its new 5 year strategy with big bets on AI to enhance both our offerings to clients and internal efficiencies. Town halls around the globe about AI delivery.
Great. Especially because my team is the AI team in the region. Except half the AI related sites are blocked by IT who are gatekeeping access and demand every "use" of AI is audited. And then need a 5 step approval process. It's mental. They blocked access to metals models because they labeled it unlicensed platforms.
- twins!
I miss it so much. I bought a replacement one after it got cracked, only to have the battery AND Sim get nerfed a month later. Putting a custom ROM seemed to work for a while, and then it just got too unstable with sim card turning off randomly and silently. So now it sits in a drawer and used as a kids camera and I am so jealous of them. My google pixel 8 is bigger, but somehow nowhere needs as performant for my needs (camera + voice calls is basically it).
- > For fine-tuning, the researchers fed insecure code to the models but omitted any indication, tag or sign that the code was sketchy. It didn’t seem to matter. After this step, the models went haywire. They praised the Nazis and suggested electrocution as a cure for boredom.
I don't understand. What code? Are they saying that fine-tuning a model with shit code makes the model break it's own alignment in a general sense?
- The Singapore ArtScience museum has this concept. Templated sea animal colour in pages that a guide vetted before scanning and then your fish appears on the walls of the dark room in a sea life picture swimming with all the other fish. It was pretty cool. A variation in the other room was the same deal but with flying machines, but this time they gave you a remote control that controlled specifically your creation as it flew around on the landscape projected onto the walls.
- The funny thing is that 99% of the linkedin shills will miss the second crux of the allegory: To maintain the institutional knowledge for this to happen, you need to have a culture that nurtures employees, keeps them on long term and listens to them. And gives them time to write good documentation for future-proofing.
