These guys were not born when Crays roamed the earth.

Their investor had one in the garage that they didn't know what to do with

Tres cool! Can you point me in the direction of how to do that? We're a small, bootstrapped company and could use a manager like that.

Since I'm interested in local, small-use [1] cases of AI, what about the byte code VMs is not AI-scale? And what is AI-scale?

[1] I'm looking at single-person/small office LLMs to do simple jobs: summarize these pdfs, structure this data, help drafting a document, that sort of thing, not a be-all end-all monster. Think of a bunch of highly intelligent Python scripts as opposed to Microsoft Office.

This is a question that I rarely see answered but would love to know as well.

Nice answer (not by me) here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44990889

Do you follow Steve Brunton's YT channel[1]? His physics stuff is mostly fluid dynamics but still pretty cool.

Which LLMs and plans are you guys using for all of these cool ideas?

ATM I use ChatGPT Plus for everything except coding inside my Jetbrains IDEs.

I'm starting to look around at other LLMs for non-coding purposes (brainstorming, docs, being a project manager, summarizing, learning new subjects, etc.).

Claude Sonnet 4 is pretty good for programming stuff, albeit pretty expensive. It's also good for other things as well. I like using it as a conversational partner when developing the systems architecture whenever I'm working on something new.

Gemini 2.5 is pretty cheap and has a huge context window, although not as good as Claude for programming. For that reason I would suggest to use is through the API if you're building a product that has an LLM step.

So I hear. And we all know smart/rich people can never be duped or make a mistake outside their areas of expertise. /s

Cool. Do you have write-up of the technical details or a tutorial on how you did this? I'm not familiar with the tech you mentioned but it'd be interesting to see how it's done and so...easily? cheaply? by non-mega-organizations?

Yes please, would love this. Feel free to email me from profile. Thanks

> there are individuals out there who know a lot about many things, and those are probably the ones companies want to hire the most

No, they don't. They want specialists, as you point out.

You've missed out on a lot.

I haven't seen any episode. Lots of people told me i should watch them all, but i'm just scared i will feel depressed for a long time if i did.

If you also avoid movies and books of the same ilk for the same reasons, yeah, I can see that.

To me, they're just great SF stories (well, the first three(?) seasons before Netflix bought them and Americanized them): some poignant, some horror-ish, some uplifting.

I found the "unforeseen consequences" of technology fascinating, but that's just me.

I get 'too close to reality' vibes whenever i hear or read something about Black Mirror. Can't really explain it clearly. Maybe i should just try it. It's not high on my list though :) I do love the Love, Death and Robots series though.

No, I get the "too close to reality" vibes. I actually like that.

LD&R ROCKED! At least the first season; I still watch it regularly (well, I did before Netflix EOLed my TV). Season 2 was forgettable. Season 3 kinda made up for Season 2.

Metalhead is amazing.

That one really is "too close to reality" as in, it's now a reality, at least on the battlefield, IIUC.
