The piece of the story I'm interested to learn about is the trace of how any AI ended up selecting Hugging Face.

This. I gather interesting posts this way in my browser tabs in the phone and everytime I finish reading something I click "Back" and there's usually a discussion there, unless I opened the link originally from somewhere else than HN.

Postgres has transactional DDL: you can be applying migrations in one transaction while serving live traffic from the old schema in another. By tying the schema changes directly to the application deployment it becomes harder to apply a big migration without downtime. You can't apply the migration and then cut over traffic to new app instances once the migration is complete.

point is everyone scrapes data from the internet. Do you think there is at least one page on the internet that mentions Claude as an AI? Well, then it's part of the training material.

Still not understanding why this isn’t being persecuted.

Not the author, but this prevents leaking all URLs you are visiting to agolia. Instead of asking Was this URL submitted to Hacker News? you ask Which URLs have been submitted to Hecker News?, store that in a Bloom filter, and then use the Bloom filter to answer the question Was this URL [likely] submitted to Hacker News?

At least it is self describing, unlike some other projects that are like "An alternative to faomz with deliric integration"

You provide no trustworthy benchmark for your claim that Go is slow, or that nim is faster than that. Many engineer hours have been put on the go GC and compiler

I think this is closer to "true". The troubling bit is they're also trained with fiction bits. They're role players and you can get them to switch into arbitrary modes, including sychophants who will tell you whatever you want to hear is true.

> All of my friends who work at AI Labs take it seriously. > If AI does pose biological risk, or could destabilize geopolitics, or even just poses economic risks, surely a joint petition like this is a good thing?

If they seriously think what you just wrote then they should follow through with quitting en masse because that's currently the only way to slow the progress towards oblivion. Are they quitting?

> We should be hoping that nations can make binding agreements.

The big AI Labs are making sure international binding agreements are followed by financially supporting the notorious binding agreement creator and follower Donald Trump. That's how seriously they take this issue.

Yeah let's have a constructive discourse and let's start that with dropping all hypocrisy, shall we.

Sounds like that's the only solution. I'm so sick of this safety nonsense I was going to switch from Anthropic to OpenAI because of it. I'm so disappointed to see it's just more of the same.

Model finds a vulnerability in your code but "refuses" to tell you. Words can hardly express the sheer absurdity of it.

Why even limit the app to Rust? Cross compilation is for humans. Just have the LLM make multiple versions of the codebase using whatever language and SDK is best integrated into each OS.

> Most people carry one of history's most technologically-advanced cameras. How many can say they actually use it for something interesting?

Figuring out how to use a phone camera in creative practice is really an interesting challenge.

Photographers still don't even pay attention to their ancillary uses, to be honest; you can use them to collect materials and build photography plans. But they can also teach you a lot of stuff (particularly subject isolation and wide angle visualisation)

Do you think this necessarily sends us as a society (as a species) towards a future where we eventually stop understanding technology and science itself?

Like in Asimov's Foundation or Liu Cixin's 'Taking Care of God'.

Maybe we need two tiers of technology. Human in the loop up to the point of AI, and then the AI layer which depends on the human stack.

yes, and it would be up to the jury/court to judge if you made a mistake or if you intended to give the wipe pin. Not different from you shooting someone saying you thought the gun was a fake gun. They will evaluate and decide if they believe you are lying or telling the truth.

> The agents repeated actions that they had already completed - a sign of an agentic AI losing its thread and context.

ASI works in mysterious ways.

Not including having to wait three months in the winter before attempting to cross the alps.

Can the links be opened in pairs using the split view feature? like create a split view, open the article on the left hand side and the comments on the right hand side.

This is an interesting premise, but doesn't there need to be some level of app owner involvement for a deployment to work? Handling secrets, configuring the environment, etc. If you can just drop AI slop online and it runs, then almost by definition you are not protecting secrets. If you can keep updating it until you like it, how are database migrations run? How do the app owners do any back-end data maintenance at all - do they need to write a web UI just to run basic scripts?

Your write-up leaves more questions than answers.

How do you migrate in place data that doesn’t convert between types while maintaining a strict condition like NOT NULL?

This is again a scenario I’ve never run into 20ish years of SQL.

People pay to read blogs?

Interesting

> The architecture is reproducible

But what's the point of even saying that? Of course it is, otherwise how is it supposed to run in the runtimes? You cannot release model weights that others can run, without also releasing the model architecture, it's in the code at the very least...

$9.99 later - moving on.

agree they are horrible especially if you want to chase the bug
