Richard talks about AI been either novel or good

Then it shifts to discovery.

These seems related but not exactly the same thing.

That's insanely cool. Now how about actually compress text with LLM that summarize long texts with the non-Euclidean visulization...

New comment by est in "Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?"

est — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:29:25 +0000

Because being critical of AI is the second most boring activity on HN.

This article reads like how to train a LLM

without a large corpus your pretrain is doomed to fail

Your post-train tricks hardly pays off if your base model doesn't scale.

Or even better. XML + XLST.

True separation of representation and data.

Is thousands of nested

really a good idea?

New comment by est in "MCP is dead?"

est — Sat, 30 May 2026 14:28:48 +0000

MCP is based on a lie: Machines are good at read/generate machine-parsable procotols.

Turns LLMs are shit with JSON. Especially those JSON str embeded inside another JSON key-value pairs.

Why do smart ppl design a schema like escape JSON into str embeded into another?

It's based on another lie: AIs favor static typed languages.

to clarify, probably worthless to AI vendors, but might be useful for third-parties.

> I'm going to feed all of my business's data to it

Your business data is probably worthless, even considered harmful for the pretrain corpus.

Your interactions and decision making process are most valuable parts of the whole business.

est — Wed, 27 May 2026 16:13:03 +0000

There are basically two kinds of people in the world, ones that create stuff, and ones that destroys stuff.

Defense is a toally different game, and requires a complete new mindset than creativity. Security is something that you miss one then you lose all.

AIs are good at choosing a good candidate based on a reward model, but it sucks hard at enumerating mundane attack surfaces and make combinations to exploit through.

> The founding tenet of AI, “saving us” from all sorts of difficult things: climate, disease, poverty, conflict is falling, fast

No those are just marketing slogans. The founding tenet of AI is to best match next token according to a reward model.

I am almost certain this layout is generated by AI, because I vibe coded the exact same newspaper-like style weeks ago.

Your DNS config 5-7 rows are the culprit.

Don't point a wildcard domain to Github. It's a wildcard and dangerous.
