Re:Dots: Always-on agents on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @01:34PM (#49897138)
I always think the best company to own an alway-on agent should be Apple, who owns the platform and is more privacy-focused. I hope they catch up and eventually eliminate others.
Re:Jev in 25 Lines of Python on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @01:27PM (#49819582)
This, like the hype of Jev on Twitter, totally ignores accuracy and generality across domains.

In my experience even structured LLM output performs poorly on classifier tasks. LLMs are trained to talk and think longer. If you don't give LLM enough space to reason it would become very dumb.

I'm not saying that Jev is way better, but that people way overindexed cost and speed.

Re:OUI-1: world's first model for Generative UI on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @02:57PM (#49615032)
When the blog title is "world's first model for Generative UI", you are supposed to show something that GPT/Claude couldn't do. Instead it's all benchmark.

I don't know what media you are talking about. It's all slop worse than current slop.

Re:OUI-1: world's first model for Generative UI on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @02:51PM (#49614945)
design is the hard problem. i don't know what hard problem this is trying to solve here
Re:OUI-1: world's first model for Generative UI on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @02:37PM (#49614702)
Generative UI is unsolved because current models do not have taste and end up generating the same kind of slop.

I'm amazed that this blog doesn't even have a single screenshot/photo of the kind of UI they can generate.

Focusing on benchmarks in this domain feels very wrong.

Re:Ask HN: Initial Thoughts on GPT-6 Astra? on Friday September 04, 2026 @09:58PM (#49572349)
No one on HN seems to care about its crazy ability in 3D modeling?

3D might have just been solved like coding

Re:Claude, please stop trying to memorize random crap on Friday July 03, 2026 @02:50PM (#48778543)
The only times I found the memory feature useful are in "projects" I created myself.

In a project my questions are usually revolved around the same topic. Having context carried across threads actually make a lot of sense.

In the general mode where I'm expecting models to be *stateless*, having memory is very annoying.

Re:Ask HN: Are you still using a Vision Pro? on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @10:28PM (#48485560)
At the end of the day, it only makes sense if watching a movie on AVP gives you immense joy, which is the case for me.

If you can charge your phone, you can charge your vision pro. The battery itself can last any movie with no problem.

Re:Ask HN: Are you still using a Vision Pro? on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @03:28PM (#48466398)
Not regularly, but I do watch movies on it once in a while (in those beautiful environments), especially when I'm on a flight.

WWDC also just rolled out some quite exciting features to RealityKit: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/279/ as well as visionOS itself (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/287/)

It makes me wonder if Apple is really giving it up as news have claimed.

Re:How OpenAI delivers low-latency voice AI at scale on Tuesday May 05, 2026 @01:44AM (#48018526)
After all these, I still feel their voice AI interrupts quite a lot, especially when I pause just for 0.5 sec. Interestingly, when I tell it to interrupt less, it seems to be better.
off topic but I just wonder if this page is AI-designed. It looks quite good to my eyes. I feel like prior to coding agents this would instead be a blog post with some charts.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026) on Sunday April 12, 2026 @08:29PM (#47746084)
I'm building Eima (https://eima.app) which combines your Todo List and Calendar, allowing you to schedule your todos by simply dragging them onto the calendar.

Similar apps have existed before (like Amie), but they were nearly all VC-backed and had pretty much all pivoted to AI (e.g. being an AI note taker). Their approaches to a Todo-focused calendar has been largely unsatisfying due to the focus on Enterprise users and whatever is trendy.

Eima, in contrast, focuses on personal use and does one thing very well: scheduling your todos. In particular, I spent a lot of time making sure multi-occurrence todos work smoothly (e.g. todos that need multiple attempts or simply recurring todos). These were not addressed by prior tools at all and had been my biggest motivation to build Eima.

Would love some test users! If you end up wanting to give Eima a try please use the code EARLYEIMA to get it for free.

idk why you bring this up. this is irrelevant to whether CC actually works at big corps
Re:Claude Code Unpacked : A visual guide on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @10:50AM (#47601732)
> they break at large enterprise repos.

I don't know where you get this. you should ask folks at Meta. They are probably the biggest and happiest users of CC

Re:GitHub Copilot Coding Agent on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @07:36AM (#44040354)
I'm honestly surprised by so much hate. IMHO it's more important to look at 1) the progress we've made + what this can potentially do in 5 years and 2) how much it's already helping people write code than dismissing it based on its current state.
This looks great. I would love to know more what makes Confident AI/DeepEval special compared to tons of other LLM Eval tools out there.
+1

I think one rule around Show HN is that you allow people to see content without signing up, let alone paying for it. So this is a violation of that rule.

Edit: actually search is not behind the paywall (although that's not very obvious)

Re:With AI, the future of augmented reality is in your ears on Saturday November 09, 2024 @05:37PM (#42097345)
couldn't take this article seriously considering it doesn't mention Meta's Rayban smart glasses, which largely does what they want already: a pair of glasses without visuals but with AI in your ears
Re:Orion, Our First True Augmented Reality Glasses on Thursday September 26, 2024 @12:01PM (#41660012)
This is a pretty common view for Vision Pro users. Hand tracking is great for these. Can't imagine having to use a controller.

Ofc Vision Pro users are extreme minorities so you are not wrong. But I highly encourage you to try out Vision Pro if you haven't.

This has been a great idea for decades. I want Haystack to be successful just like many other attempts. The early execution seems promising. And I suspect there will be many challenges (e.g. when it's hard to figure out caller/callee,, inconsistent UX preferences across developers, etc). Kudos for taking this on!

Btw I've always thought that this is even more powerful when the screen estate is more infinite than a 2D screen (like in a VR headset).

Llama 3 is the open source model while this is a product offering competing w/ ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Not a dupe imo.
