> we can't actually verify what these models are capable of or if they're being truthful

Do you mean they lie because of bad training data? Or because of ill intent? How can an LLM have intent if it’s a stateless feedforward model?

Once critical mass of programmers relies on LLMs, original code creation and usage will decline, as LLMs will not provide these as suggestions. So entering the “dark ages of programming” will solve for that, as you won’t need to retrain LLMs.

Reminds me how Quake3 shipped with a VM to compile/run the C game code.

About 6 months ago posted a Show HN for WhenToExchange http://whentoexchange.com it shows currency exchange rates and keeps track of large price moves that make it favourable to exchange one currency for another.

Didn't receive much feedback, but still use it personally when shopping online and booking travel.

highsea — Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:29:14 +0000

This sounds really familiar.

In my experience the CEO/Founder can be classified as either of two types:

1) Great sales guy but has no deep concept of the technology his product is based on and other related aspects such as technical debt. Can be really hard to explain why something is more complicated than it looks to him, etc.

2) Great technical guy who can't sell. If you're not doing something conceptually new it can be difficult to acquire customers if your selling is weak.

I wonder if any one has encountered the unicorn CEO/Founder who's great at both of these things?

http://whentoexchange.com - Know the right time to exchange your money.

Added a bunch of new features, Bitcoin support, etc. over the break.

It’s a website that calculates the best time to exchange one currency for another accounting for the various exchange rates involved.

WhenToExchange - Know the right time to exchange your money.

http://whentoexchange.com

I’ve been working on this for the past serveral months, an idea I came up with as I was trying to figure out my vacation schedule for the next year and plan a budget for the various countries I thought of visiting. It’s a website that calculates the best time to exchange one currency for another accounting for the various exchange rates involved.

I created LogCroc to monitor visually for server exceptions at the company I work for.

It was handy to have a visual dashboard running on a TV in the office that gave everyone an overview at a glance of what's going with our servers.
