I had an experience like this when I switched to a Keyboardio split keyboard. It was impossible to use at first. Then I do some deliberate practice with a typing tutor app and now I love it so much I own multiple.
Is there a good tutorial for some of these advanced text editing features?
In particular I’d like to get platform independent shortcuts / key bindings. I use both windows and MacOS daily, and it throws off my muscle memory for shortcuts like “go to beginning of line”
I wonder how this will compare, long term, to giving LLMs python sandboxes. Why implement an MCP server for a single library when you can give the LLM an interpreter running a distribution with arbitrarily many libraries?
Probably the trick is teaching the LLM how to use everything in that distribution. It’s not clear to me how much metadata that SymPy MCP server bakes in to hint the LLM about when it might want symbolic mathematics, but it’s definitely gonna be more than “sympy is available to import”
Also, reading through TFA, Wolfram is offering more than a programming language. It includes a lot of structured general purpose information. I suspect that increases response quality relative to web search, at least for a narrow set of topics, but I’m not sure how much.
Well, I suppose the app could offer a proxy service. Funnel everything through a VPS, apply ad and tracker blocking there.
That opens the door to lots of additional features… Cache responses so you can still read stuff when it gets the HN hug of death. Do a full-text index and offer a secondary search capability over article contents. Maybe build an API for all that so you can have AI Agents ground themselves on articles that got strong quality signals on HN. Maybe sign agreements with publishers like LWN, The Information, or whoever else shows up on HN behind a paywall frequently.
These are possible solutions, but offering a VPS/VPN won't convince anyone who is already on the fence over privacy or security issues. They probably have their own already and don't want their browsing data running through someone's servers. HN clients should interact directly with HN as another normal client, and not proxy incoming traffic.
Even if it enables lots of other features, that's not why I come to Hacker News and such a feature would be an immediate pass. Maybe others feel differently, but the fact that HN's design and featureset have not followed other trends over the years is part of why many of us still come here.
Maybe there is a market for what you're thinking, but I'd continue to do more market research to make sure you understand your user demographics before making the wrong move early on.
Are you actually using Exo for local clustered AI inference? I’ve considered it a few times and keep finding horror stories. Never seen someone report it’s actually working well for them.
That’s the big question on my mind. Several years ago we migrated from an in house Ruby on Rails solution to Salesforce. Will vibe coding bring us back to a custom solution? When?
Geely is also present in the US via Volvo and Polestar. They haven’t delivered an affordable entry level EV yet, but I’ve been impressed with the Polestars. I’d never buy one because a Chinese car running on Google software sounds like a nightmare, but they’ve been good when I rented them.
Yes. Kimi is a brand of Moonshot Ai. Moonshot is legally incorporated in Singapore; executives and devs are mostly in Beijing.
They reportedly use Alibaba cloud extensively, at least for training. Terms of Service say the service is governed by Singaporean law.
Personally, I’d assume the CCP has full access to every packet you send them. K series of models looks cool; you can run they
M through Azure if you prefer to do business with a western entity or self host.
