Re:GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding on Friday August 08, 2025 @12:27PM (#44838861)
This should have been compared with Opus... I know OP says he didn't because of cost but if you're comparing who is better then you need to compare the best to the best... if Claude Opus 4.1 is significantly better than GPT 5 then that could offset the extra expense. Not saying it will... but forget cost if we want to compare solely the quality

Re:Ask HN: Waymo Invite Code SF? on Sunday June 09, 2024 @02:58PM (#40626644)
No, it's not a "share invite codes" -- no one has codes to give out. You have to add yourself to the waitlist and wait for the company to send a code
Re:Mark Zuckerberg on Apple Vision Pro [video] on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @11:47PM (#39366600)
It's obviously a CEO selling his own product so not much to comment on. There is definitely a place for both headsets. The main part I laugh at though is him complaining about a slight motion blur in Vision Pro when moving your head quickly when the quest 3 has the most insane picture warping ever in passthrough mode around the hands and edges of the screen.
Study finds that developers produce code likely to be buggy.

Re:Run Stable Diffusion on Your M1 Mac’s GPU on Friday September 02, 2022 @12:12PM (#32692495)
I keep getting `No module named 'ldm'` after I run `python scripts/dream.py --full_precision`. I've confirmed 'ldm' is activate in conda. Any idea?
Yeah I've always hated that statement. How do you even measure that? I've had my Tesla sound the alarms when I'm 4 car lengths away from the car in front of me and nothing bad is happening at all. Do they count that as having prevented an accident? Do they count all those phantom breaks as preventing a crash ;^∀;^)
That is kind of similar to Tesla still though. At least with FSD Beta there is a camera actively monitoring you and making sure your eyes are on the road. I've also been on roads where autopilot either won't activate at all or will activate but at a reduced speed. I was hoping that once Tesla enabled that internal camera they would stop relying on weight on the steering wheel and just use eye tracking.
One thing I don't quite understand is that many cars have autopilot-like software. Unlike tesla's which constantly requires putting pressure on the wheel to show you're there and paying attention, Ford's lets you drive indefinitely without any hands on the wheel. Wouldn't this same investigation be put onto other manufactures as a giant audit? Hitting emergency vehicles is obviously bad but 1) it happens in cars without autopilot and 2) if you're hitting one you're clearly no paying attention. it's not like they just appear out of no where
Re:I cheated on my Microsoft interview (2019) on Sunday June 05, 2022 @12:53PM (#31632693)
Talk about a click bait title... This is no where even close to cheating. It's like saying any test you've ever prepped for in the past was cheating.
Re:Coinbase is rescinding already-accepted job offers on Saturday June 04, 2022 @03:39PM (#31624287)
I mean, if you're in the crypto business you should have more foresight than that. It's literally the definition of a volatile market
Re:Coinbase is rescinding already-accepted job offers on Saturday June 04, 2022 @12:46PM (#31622531)
Companies that are rescinding offers are just terribly managed companies. If you're in that bad of shape, then you should have done a hiring freeze months ago and there shouldn't have been any offers left to rescind (sure, there are odd ones where maybe they accepted 3 months early).

Re:Tesla Model S can now park itself on Sunday January 10, 2016 @12:38AM (#10874338)
Only thing about all the self parking stuff is it's a bit too slow. I live in SF, and so far it's been difficult to use self parking in practice. If you take too long you get people pulling up so close to you in the back that you can't reverse, or endless honking. Especially with the Model S auto park since you actually have to pull up a lot farther than a normal person would before you can engage it
Re:Ask HN: Suggestions for learning Java? on Monday January 05, 2015 @01:06AM (#8837547)
Head First Java is a pretty good book. It's an interesting style of teaching in it. It's very much geared towards novices though. I think they use it at my University now for their intro to Java classes.

If you want something more advanced, O'Reilly books are always a good way to go. Nowadays there is a ton of stuff on YouTube as well.

Re:Apple has lost the functional high ground on Sunday January 04, 2015 @10:28PM (#8837039)
I agree 100%. Marco just posts random complaints these days. There are no specific examples of what is actually broken. An OS is about as big of a project as you can get. What evidence is there that Mac OS X is any more broken than any other widely used operating system?
Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite scholarly papers? Why? on Monday December 01, 2014 @01:53AM (#8679836)
Yeah sure. Here is the project page: https://sites.google.com/a/cs.usfca.edu/cs-636-2011s/project...

All notes and stuff can be found here: https://sites.google.com/a/cs.usfca.edu/cs-636-2011s/schedul...

I learned a ton about MapReduce and GFS. It was a great learning experience.

Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite scholarly papers? Why? on Saturday November 29, 2014 @08:42PM (#8675678)
The papers published on the Google File System (GFS) and Map Reduce are still some of my all time favorite papers. It gives really good inside into how GFS/Map Reduce was built, but explains it in a very straight forward way. We actually implemented an in memory version of GFS/MapReduce in my graduate operating systems class. It remains as one of my favorite projects I've ever done.
