for anything web related, simply with the chrome claude plugin. then claude code can control the browser (and 'see' what's showing),

I'm missing an announcement like: 2nd confirmed person paid for their winrar license!

interesting, i have the exact opposite reaction. I had kinda become bored and disillusioned by coding. These tools have brought back the joy of creating things in code for me. Went through all my long forgotten side projects and managed to finish them. So happy to have all of these things done and up and running.

shouldn't the whole idea be: get away from needing data at all? if a model can really reason, it should be able to figure things out on its own.

plays to the normal tendency of humans not to want to interact with other humans.

The goal is to end up with a model capable of discovering all the knowledge on its own. not rely on what humans produced before. Human knowledge contains errors, I want the model to point out those errors and fix them. the current state is a crutch at best to get over the current low capability of the models.

New comment by danbala in "Two-Thirds of U.S. Adults Would Rather Wait to Watch Movies on Streaming"

danbala — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 03:57:58 +0000

contrary to most of the comments here, I actively enjoy going to the movies. Have always, and still do. To some of the points raised, I live in a decidedly rural area. So consequently, grabbing a movie at 10pm fairly frequently leads to me having the imax all to myself. Another contributing factory might be that I tend to go during week nights, and after the opening weekend. It's true that the home experience has improved tremendously over the years (I've had a projector+retractable ceiling screen for over a decade), it doesn't come close to an imax sized screen.

pretty quickly llvm/ai support is going to be more on the level of electricity itself. like a utility.

New comment by danbala in "Ask HN: Why do many CS graduates lack foundational knowledge?"

danbala — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 04:39:10 +0000

for some, 'compiler construction' would count as foundational skill. But realistically nowadays it is a skill that is neither necessary, nor all that helpful in a typical day as SWE. There was a very narrow sliver of time (maybe 95-05) where this was a skill you'd be using outside of your CS class. While I do agree with your basic sentiment of 'CS doesn't teach the same things as 20 years ago', I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Those who like to dig to that level will do so on their own (just like not everybody likes to study analytical topology).

curious about that too. the female sounds a little bit like the tortoise-tts train_grace voice model?

or actual real callers. speech to text should be fast enough for that, right?
