Seems like they couldn't write even three lines without a LLM.
Hi HN,I've just been promoted to dean of studies ("directeur des études") at La Plateforme (https://laplateforme.io), a tuition-free CS school in Marseille, France. We take students with no degree requirements and train them from zero to Bachelor (3 yrs) and Master's (5 yrs) in software dev, DevOps, AI/data, cybersecurity, and immersive systems. We accept about 200 new students per year.As I...
(also, on macOS specifically, Docker runs inside a Linux VM, so the shared kernel is the VM's kernel, not the host's. Are there known escapes from containers to Docker Desktop VM to macOS host?)
Everyone in town is talking about running OpenClaw/Clawd on a VPS or a dedicated burner machine (e.g. a Mac mini), for obvious security reasons.What I don't see discussed much is Docker. On macOS it already runs inside a Linux VM, and the setup can hardened even more (in principle): no bind mounts, no /var/run/docker.sock, non-root user, read-only filesystem, tight resource limits, restricted...
From an 2018 email from Musk to the OpenAI leadership (https://openai.com/index/openai-elon-musk/)I asked Claude, ChatGPT and Grok the following: "List the top 5 possible options for [redacted], with an associated probabililty for each. It can be a company or a person."I got a mix of "DeepMind", "Demis Hassabis", "Larry Page" and "Alphabet/Google". Surprisingly, Grok doesn't mention Hassabis,...
I have some old recordings of a SATB choir (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass), but the audio quality is quite poor. I also have the exact musical scores for each song.I'm looking for AI tools/services that could improve the clarity and separation of each vocal part (and maybe also reduce noise and artifacts). If it can leverage the scores to guide the enhancement, the better.Has anyone tried...
Not so long ago, we used to think that machines could be considered intelligent/creative/conscious/<some attribute deemed quintessentially human> if they could write a sonnet/summarize a book/paint a portrait/tell a joke, or whatever. Back then, all these tasks seemed technologically far beyond our reach.Today, some of those have been achieved: even if they don't produce truly _good_...
I'm looking for a text editor similar to Cursor, Trae, or VS Code+Copilot, but one that would be open source and could use a local LLM as the backend.Trae looks promising, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of sending my code/analytics/telemetry/whatever to the editor maker and the LLM vendor.Are there any reasonably polished options available yet, particularly for macOS?
Bitcoin burns ~170 terawatt-hours (~$10-15B $) annually just to maintain its network, and this consumption can't decrease by design. In contrast, Ethereum offers similar functionality as a decentralized payment system, and also added features like smart contracts, but with a much lower energy consumption since its transition to proof-of-stake in 2021.Given Ethereum's broader utility and tiny...
