What is up with the LLM police in every comment section lately… even IF so.. isn’t that the authors whole point? It can be LLM assisted, but the beauty is in the human aspects of it. This piece is, at least in part written by a human… this is the future… so?

Every post is actually scanned for LLM content as well.

Love this idea. I agree with the other comment that its not filtering well, but i hope you can get it dialed in.

Sometimes hackernews feels like the drive into SF. Just bombarded with Ai garbage billboards.

nice, yeah, I will keep working on it

I wanted to make this general purpose enough that it could handle large datasets (e.g. i want to do thiings like https://sprinklz.io/demo/headlineNews), so I was hesitant to do things like make 1-LLM-call-per-article, but I'll keep exploring ways to make it better

Wow we just had a post on here a couple weeks ago about Jeff Dean supporting dissident voices at Google.

Anyone have insight into the overlap of techies and armchair military experts? Every thread like this ends up overflowing with comments like "Let me explain to you what's really happening..."

War is one of the most high tech and technologically interesting things humans do, and is often the first place that truly state of the art abilities are showcased.

It's not hard for me to understand why techies would be so interested.

That's fine but not entirely what I'm trying to understand. There is an aspect of it that connects back to the Qanon mentality of having insider information and a level of expertise beyond the society sanctioned experts. There are plenty of tech topics that come up here that do not get the same response, so "techies just like tech" isn't the full explanation.

> we are teaching robots intelligent whole-body control, fine dexterity, *and teamwork*...

That's the most Skynet thing ever.

always a good day when we get an a post on front actually related to hacking on hackernews.

Except hackernews is about different kind of hackers.

http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html

> 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. RFC1392, the Internet Users' Glossary, usefully amplifies this as: A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular.

> 2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.

How many times can we have the same discussion.

That's the neat thing, with LLMs we can fully automate this discussion and have it at thousands of tokens per second and millions of tokens per dollar.

:P

Yeah, I believe I’ve seen this topic posted on HN many times now.

Code has always been cheap, even before AI/LLMs. It’s your ability to understand your client’s problem and come up with a good solution that’s what gets you paid.

It's existential crisis Tuesday

I'm stealing this for an office sign.

Until the people foolish enough to think that you can replace people with an LLM learn their lesson.

Never let possibility get in the way of a value-signaling business decision, I always say.

>"How many times can we have the same discussion."

Until the people wishing it to be true are thoroughly sated.

The reality is that this is the end of programming as a large scale well paying white collar profession as we knew it.

Today a co-worker told me he thought this would mean programmers would get more money because we have been making so much, so quickly, with much fewer bug reports, it's saving the company lots of money on man hours.

Until we've all finally let go of the past.

I think a lot are also opting for startups. I think the number of million dollar value start ups is up quite a bit right now.

That h1b prisoner comment is starrrrrk (and true to my experience as well).

Very true, and folks sell their startup equity on the secondary market.

How old is your mother? Iirc PSEN1 correlates to very early AD, like late 30s early 40s. My dad had full blown AD at 65, with serious cognitive decline starting at 63, and that felt very early to us all. My dad had no AD biomarkers on full genetic scan. My heart goes out to you and your family.

She is now 63. Started showing symptoms at 61. Her sister died at 64 and her onset was in her 50s.

I am working with invitae to get her DNA tested. Unfortunately, her stage is considered moderate and very little treatment options.

There are multiple specific possible mutations that cause 100% penetrant dominantly inherited early onset Alzheimer’s. And there are three genes where mutations can cause it: PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP. The average age of onset seems to depend on the specific mutation. In my (wife’s) family, onset is mid 40s to mid 50s. Some families get it even earlier, but 30s seems rare.

The tech co I work for just massively scaled token usage after the copilot price changes. If there was a chance for ai to replace anyone, it's gone now.
