This post brings me to question "What does it mean to be a software developer in future" ?
Re:Germany: Ex-spy chief arrested for espionage on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @09:02AM (#49977786)
I always liked and thought DW was one of the largest publishers in Germany but learned from a German friend that it was not a major public media organization and many don't know about it there.

I see that with Opus 5, it started thinking like crazy in the last few days , I don't think my workflow is that complicated, still it gets into thinking mode and stays there

from https://huggingface.co/convaiinnovations/laya > The policy reports a distribution; exploration adds zero-mean Gaussian noise to the logits; the reward is a strictly proper scoring rule (log + spherical, plus ranked probability score for ordinal questions). Expected reward is maximised only by reporting honest probabilities.

That is the what our corporations are aiming for !!! I think that is more important question is what is the cost to run all those Agents ?

Has anyone tried installing Haiku on old mac 2012 intel and older ? How challenging would that be ?
Re:AWS Acquires DuckDB on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @11:41AM (#49451092)
I am happy for the team's success but I am sad and anxious for what may become of the DuckDB. It is my favorite tool. Like other comments mentioned, DuckDB is open source and MIT license so I hope it will survive and evolve further the way it did.
LatticeDB looks good, just curious how useful is duckpgq

The founders of these starups make Mark Zuckerberg look good. I think this is how we are moving forward as a society generation after generation.
Re:Opus 5.0 drives incoherence into the stratosphere on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @02:22PM (#49365213)
I am glad I am not the only one. I thought I simply didn't understand English literature well enough to interpret it Claude correctly.
Re:OpenRouter is joining Stripe on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @02:14PM (#49365087)
It is amazing how we watch from the sidelines these aquisitions and think .... why such big bill ? But it takes a good team to sell and everytime someone is successful it is because probably they have great sellers who believe in their value and demand a price. It is certainly not an easy task to get to the finish line for a startup and pay back their investors.

Re:Show HN: Mu โ€“ Tools for Agents on Sunday August 02, 2026 @08:40PM (#49149913)
I admire your grit Asim, you never stop :) This looks great !! but what are we using for searching news here, I mean the sources ?
Sounds like a bad idea on so many layers. I don't want to give more selfies for training, feels like a disaster about to happen
Re:Why I Left Google DeepMind on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @03:19PM (#48925795)
I did not know about TurnTrout till now and thanks to HN community now I know. I am beyond impressed as to how he lives by his principles. I don't think I have this kind of courgae or confidence and thankfully I don't work for Google or have to quit it. On the other hand we have smart people who have choose to work for companies like Palantir and are proud of it.
Thanks !! It is so easy to assume that ending contract means turning off the cameras. Hopefully ciities can fight back harder for them to remove them, specially when people don't want that surveillance.
Re:How to Hide from Killer Drones on Saturday July 11, 2026 @03:53PM (#48875238)
This title scared me, not for myself but more thinking about how kids will probably need to learn these things next. We are such strange 'intelligent' creatures who have figured out everything but not to be at peace with each other.
