News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

agreed. views are very similar to my talk https://youtu.be/X7vf7koPxKg
reminds me of the last year hype around SesameAILabs/csm, people losing their mind over how realistic it was, only for them to disappear and never ship. sorry can't get hyped over some mp3s.
Re:Why do LLM pelicans look like this? on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @02:15PM (#50092313)
This part of a recent talk points out exactly this problem, and (likely) why human expertise will remain important in the age of LLMs doing everything: https://youtu.be/X7vf7koPxKg?t=2806

also ios 27. this is the second time Apple Wallet has frozen when I tried to pay at the cashier. It's really embarrassing.

i found it a bit later than others and didn't really explored it deep; but yeah still couldn't find what i was looking for out of the box
Re:Make Claude your assistant in excalidraw on Saturday September 26, 2026 @01:17PM (#49858591)
I've had a fairly thorough exploration of how I can give my agent a whiteboard so we can work on architectures together. To my surprise, current solutions (including Excalidraw) were not good enough and didn't deliver what I wanted. I ended up finding Mermaid to be the most agent-friendly medium and coded an Obsidian plugin for it. It works okay; we can work on the same doc while I bring my own AI agent, and we can brainstorm together. https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/mermaid-relay
it's a freezer lgtm

"meta" and "personal". one of you is lying.

Re:AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read) on Monday August 17, 2026 @04:24PM (#49337104)
You're absolutely right
any particular reason not using terra or sol, given the generous limit quotas and frequent codex resets?
might as well rethink about their pricing on gpt-realtime. for a quick test, spoke to that model for ~5 minutes, ended up spending near $1.

Bonsai 8B and 1.7B were on Qwen3.5 the benchmark is from a few months ago. However I'll add Qwen3.6 to the benchmark too.

Re:How to sequence your own DNA at home on Monday July 06, 2026 @11:08PM (#48813274)
one main marketing leverage of 23andMe, AncestryDNA, etc are fulfilling the curiosity of people who want to know which part of the world their genes are from. I guess that dataset should be preparatory.
Re:Python 3.15: features that didn't make the headlines on Thursday May 21, 2026 @09:59AM (#48222689)
funny how we may have to wait even longer for llms to pick up this update in their pre-training
useless fact: there is no mention to "gpt" in this article. the ai is referred to as "An internal OpenAI model".

I'm in Toronto and I can confirm.
i assumed you're connected to internet and using codex/claude code
for vibe coding stuff, especially when you're outside touching grass, I believe MacBook Neo is perfect. it fills the gap between the phone remote control (which is too painful for chatting with ai cli) and, well, not having any dev device.
seems like `karpathy/autoresearch` on steroids

good luck

How reliable is this uptime? and why it's sooo different from gh's official status numbers?
Re:Zed is 1.0 on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @06:08PM (#47955383)
i've been a zed user for almost 6 months. i've encountered maaany bugs which i reported, or that were already reported. they're still there. meanwhile, every single update shipped a feature or bugfix for "ai agents".

not sure how 1.0 ships with that massive pile of bugs. but ai agents are the first-class citizen in this editor, and developer experience is not a priority.

funny thing is i uninstalled zed right before the 1.0 release. kinda relieved i didn't miss anything.
