Here's an example recipe page that does feel appropriate to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48408854

I'm not trying to win any wars here, I only provided a possible explanation to someone's question. Culture evolves and that's fine, or maybe the ratio of technical vs non-technical content is actually stable on HN? I really don't know, but to me it feels like the the volume of random content and low-grade comments is increasing. Personally, I don't think that represents the spirit of HN, but my comment was downvoted so either I'm wrong, the culture has shifted, or the mainstream is already the majority here.

I'm a fan of the Caipirinha however, so thanks for the Tschunk recipe.

This is a long-standing problem related to operational excellence and politics. I expect this will improve with AI adoption and integration. You can't get an exec to create a decision record and commit it to git. Managers have incentive to sequester information.

Engineering already has the discipline (maybe) and abilities to solve the problem. Version control, change control, ADRs, logging, structured docs, etc... We can trace an inbound packet or call through the entire stack. Management can't/won't do anything remotely close. 1-to-1 emails, meeting minutes, stale Word docs is the standard for most.

Inserting LLMs as the interface, and/or plugging into existing interfaces like email, is going to change things. Finally it will be possible to capture more institutional knowledge, without trying to teach an old dog new tricks.

There's so much good radio to be had since the arrival of the internet. Not even talking about online-only, but actual radio stations who also stream. Maybe there's less cool broadcast stations in any given area, but our overall exposure via internet is incredible. Just search for free-form radio. If you have a college in your area, you probably have interesting radio and DJs on the airwaves.

The article ends with giving up, ipod + KPFA news, which just seems wild. Never has there been a time where there's more music available.

Well ackchyually... Windows 3.1 was just a window manager, you needed another 3 disks for DOS, and if you wanted that sweet networking support, you'd need Windows for Workgroups 3.11 which was 8 disks!

FWIW, I don't think the site fits the LLM template. The scroll through the use cases is particularly nice.

And thanks for Elixir. I love it, and the agent + tidewave loop is a joy to use!

Most people can barely type or operate a computer, so I think it will be a boon to many folks to have a voice/agent interface to their computing. I agree that a local model that's "good enough" will suffice for most general tasks. There's no need to call Mythos to "add cheese to the shopping list" or "summarize today's emails". Harder tasks will call out to stronger models, but many people just won't need that power.

I suspect all the platforms are keenly aware of this, and Apple will drop Siri v2 or whatever when they're satisfied with their UX and more confident the agent won't go off the rails.

But Stihl makes cutting-edge chainsaws which will kill people. It’s literally a matter of life and death and at this point

> So as an institution, I don’t want human answers, I want the right, most professional answers.
