> You want a computer program to be able to take a single phrase and execute decade long journies?

In my opinion that is exactly the point missing from AGI: the fact that you still need to prompt it. As long as you have to ask for something, is not general.

Re:Daily Econ Headlines Scraped and (Kinda) Analysed on Monday October 27, 2025 @09:00AM (#45720548)
I mostly wanted to learn a bit about ''sentiment analysis'' without using LLMs or large models. The app scrapes headlines from 3 websites, runs a quick analysis and reports the results. The main results are then stored for each day, so that eventually I can add some analysis of the historical data.

Ask HN: Resources on Computational Models for Language

from the ask-hn dept.

Hello HN, I wanted to get into computational models for language, specifically for language evolution. This is pretty far from what I studied (undergrad in Physics and currently PhD in applied math.), at least on the linguistic side. I'm mostly looking for works that deal with how language evolves, or has evolved, and how you can simulate and reproduce this process. I already had a look...

This is likely an app that solves a problem that literally no one had, but I was kinda bored, didn't find a widget for Mac that satisfied me, so I did this. Since I know nothing about AppleScript or how to 'talk' with the different processes going on in my laptot, it is 80% based on output from Claude, but it seems to work so... Anyway, I'm sure it could be made nicer, faster, better optimized and plenty of other stuff, so if anyone wants to upgrade it just let me know ;)

Ask HN: Resources about ML applied to moder physics

Posted by burrito_brain on Thursday September 26, 2024 @03:24AM
from the ask-hn dept.

It's kind of a general question, but I studied physics until my master and then moved to computer science for my PhD and I would like to keep track (more or less) of the latest (or more interesting) application of ML to physics. I was thinking about this while seeing some results about ML and string theory, I did a very quick search and I found something, but I was wondering if someone here had...
