“ The fundamental ceiling of what an LLM can do when connected to an IDE is incredible, and orders of magnitude higher than the limits of any no-code / low-code platform conceived thus far.”

Curious on this - why?

How does that work- mind sharing your workflow?

Re:Show HN: A Who is Hiring app with AI filters on Thursday January 04, 2024 @04:18AM (#38864885)
Looks very good actually, what is the source of the jobs and ai engine used?
How about a blockchain founder?

Ask HN: Suitable LLM models for an agent for user guides and docs?

Hi, i would like to implement an AI agent for my user guides and wiki (about 100 pages), so users can easily come in and interact with it. I expect the amount of content to increase quite a lot over time.I would prefer it to the model to be self hosted, so I dont worry about how much APIs cost etc. My website content will be relatively small for a long time.

Re:Game to make an LLM reveal a secret password on Thursday May 11, 2023 @10:34PM (#35911239)
Quick question - what’s the best way to get started in building a game like this, where you feed in some data like a password, and you build simple models on top of it?

Agreed. But examples here will be super helpful!
Re:Ask HN: Open source LLM for commercial use? on Monday April 10, 2023 @12:46PM (#35514303)
Noob question here - what’s the best tutorials to get started in mixing LLM models and building on top of one another, assuming very good programming background but little AI background? I asked chatGPT this question, and it was helpful but not comprehensive, but I figure intelligent humans on this forum will give the best answers.

Ask HN: Who on Twitter improves your intellectual and mental health?

I used to be very active on Twitter, but have been dormant for a long time.I intend to get back into it, but I am finding 99% of content to be utterly vapid, self serving and misdirecting.In contrast, I have always enjoyed twitter links posted here, even on esoteric topics. So I wanted to ask - who do you follow on Twitter where you get true intellectual or emotional value?Also happy to get...

Re:Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on? on Friday September 16, 2022 @08:52PM (#32873814)
I’m working on interoperability between blockchains. The number and variety of blockchains are exploding and approaches so far have been sharply lacking - failing to tackle key problems in decentralizing, generalizing, data translation and the economics of providing a robust, secure interchain operability.

Moving from largely centralized and specific message passing and token bridging into general interoperability that is decentralized and modular for any new blockchain or multi-chain protocol to extend and build on top of is a huge challenge.

  The court orders allowed the F.B.I. to go into domestic corporate networks and remove the malware, sometimes without the company’s knowledge.

This is actually extremely freaky.
Re:An introduction to type programming in TypeScript on Wednesday February 02, 2022 @01:04AM (#30174339)
This is fantastic writing:

  After writing TypeScript for a while, it occurred to me that the TypeScript language actually consists of two sub-languages - one is JavaScript, and the other is the type language.

  For the JavaScript language, the world is made of JavaScript values; for the type language, the world is made of types.
Re:Introduction to Hippo: The WebAssembly PaaS on Wednesday September 22, 2021 @05:47AM (#28614581)
This looks amazing, but as a complete n00b to wasm (I am familiar w rust and web tech), is there a simple overview on how I can take the compiled program and use in a development or production environment?

I read through the tutorial, but this is still not totally clear to me.

I had signs of insomnia in the last couple of years. Tried all the usual techniques, and I realized those just do not work for one simple reason - that the moment i do not fall asleep, i become frustrated. And that frustration in turn makes sleeping much harder.

So, I tried doing the exact opposite, and my sleep has been tremendously better since.

Essentially, i force myself to keep my eyes open. When I catch myself falling asleep, I actually force myself to keep them often again. Before i know it, it is morning.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but all my insomnia problems are over, including on a plane. Would love to know if it works for others, or if it is just a silly thing that works for only me.

You can judge the post on its own merit - I do think a number of fairly legit and decent points were brought up.
Upbeat is the major innovator in PR today, no one else is even close.
Re:Who is Anthony Levandowski, and why is Google suing him? on Saturday February 25, 2017 @02:28PM (#13733297)
I am actually sincerely curious - is this considered a felony if proven? Seems like a major offense to steal such a massive amount of information blatantly for self enrichment, even if done under the missive of "changing the world"

This cannot end well.

that was the conclusion i jumped to, but i realized that this is not actually the case if i read the details right.

Re:It’s not the methods that are Agile, it’s the people on Tuesday November 22, 2016 @12:02PM (#13015461)
I love your description. That said,that is more "well-oiled" than agile. Agile have been taken over by standard and process gurus that want the certainty of a process rather than the ambiguities of people.

Re:Why is machine learning ‘hard’? on Saturday November 12, 2016 @08:24AM (#12937693)
"And all of that has nothing even to do with CS." -> therein lies the kicker! Consumer level (including sass) apps require very real user and business tradeoffs. That tradeoff is rarely discussed, which i honestly find very curious in and of itself.
