This salty meta is definitely written by a human.

New comment by hbarka in "Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5"

hbarka — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 09:22:22 +0000

If Jev is fundamentally trained using RLCD while you’re building on a Qwen model that was trained using RLHF, how can the resulting model be considered Jev-like?

Hear, hear! An em-dash is a great stylistic device for structuring sentences. It saddens me that the use of it now has become some sort of scarlet letter. I’m hoping the co-opting can be reversed.

New comment by hbarka in "We need to stop using Stored Procedures"

hbarka — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 02:39:56 +0000

This is an opinion where the author is obviously coming from an application developer’s bias. If you’re a data engineer you love the idea of stored procedures. A data engineer is often more comfortable putting logic closer to the data, especially for bulk transformations, set-based processing, ETL/ELT, data quality rules, and involving large volumes of data. Doing this in an application just to process them would be inefficient.

I read the nod to Typesafe Jev. Are you implying use of RLCD or still RLHF?

Great, now I have to redo my scaffold harness. I guess this agent.md awareness is part of the system prompt?

Ask HN: What do you think of Noul, a new decision primitive

hbarka — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 21:03:19 +0000

Recently introduced by Typesafe (Jev), it is not a boolean but it’s for true/false decisions. Among the three decision primitives introduced by Jev: choice (discrete), score (continuous), noul (yes or not yes).

hbarka — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 20:28:12 +0000

Its a joke. You know they say ADHD types made great hunters thousands of years ago, because they can hyperfocus on that gazelle while constantly keeping their head on a swivel.

I’m not hearing about Jev’s obvious military application. You can only imagine how it is the best for “friend or foe?” decision-making.

Today’s cars are safer because of the crumple zones. We romanticize the older cars but their rigidity also caused impact force to be absorbed by occupants.

You have to understand 1:√2. It’s not merely folding in half. The test is the folded half has to be the same ratio as the parent. It’s same ratio all the way down.
