News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yes, absolutely, if you don't use AI in coding you will be a legacy developer sooner rather than later.

Everyone seriously doing it has a bunch of agents in a corporate like structure doing code reviews, the bad AI code is when someone is just using a single instance of Claude or Chat, but when you have 50 agents competing to write the best code from a single prompt, it hits differently.

Nice. For Philip Glass fans, his third opera Akhenaten gets my strongest possible recommendations, it's visually spectacular at the level of Einstein on the Beach but musically accessible and vaguely pleasant while certainly not being bland. The Metropolitan Opera (NYC) is streaming it on a free trial along with much of the rest of their best recent work. I've learned a lot of people have a conception of opera as a woman singing in a particular style and don't actually realize how visually spectacular the best modern opera has become.

People are consistently attacking a straw man of Lemoine's argument. Lemoine claims that LaMDA is more than an LLM, that it is an LLM with both short and long term memory and the ability to query the Google version of the internet in real time and learn from it.

Various Google employees deny this. We are seeing a dispute between Google and Lemoine about the supposed architecture of LaMDA. If Lemoine is correct about the architecture, it becomes much more plausible that something interesting is happening with Google's AI.

You’re being really cynical in a way that doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation. This doesn’t entail scam marketing, ICO offers, and airdrops just because that’s something that happens in a lot of the rest of cryptocurrency space.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University In America, university holds no special branding, and American companies aren't great about respecting EU branding law. See California Champagne and Kraft Parmesan cheese. I don't think anyone attending Singularity University thinks it is a real university; their paying audience generally already has a university degree.

Singularity University is basically an overpriced executive MBA program, mostly paid for by non Americans excited to visit Silicon Valley. For people with infinite money looking for a taste of Silicon Valley and wanting to invest in cutting edge stuff here, their actual educational materials are totally acceptable.

I used to work with their current law and blockchain lecturer.

Submitted once on Spotify but I think it’s free to view/listen this way.

Summary is there’s only a little bit of stuff about Signal and it’s basically hero worship about how cool Moxie is, none of the hard questions. But Moxie is pretty cool.

It took a really long time but eventually Facebook ads started giving me things I actually wanted to buy and have bought.
I’m trying to get the operation I suggested from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24048775 going in full compliance with FDA, since no one else seems to be interested in doing it and it’s an astounding opportunity.

Shortened buzzfeed’s title. I’m glad a group did this. San Franciscans failed to get Columbus in the water on Juneteenth because the city of San Francisco took the statue down after the nose had already been cut off the morning before protestors were going to.
For fans I strongly recommend the mashup Yandhi is King, mastering the unreleased Yandhi leaks in the style of Jesus is King.

I saw this linked to from https://www.boredpanda.com/tik-tok-reverse-engineered-data-i...

It’s going around because of a new story about TikTok intercepting iOS clipboards. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23634138
