Returned from the gym. Good day.

Nobody is complaining to me because I think they know they will be "voluntold" if they speak up 🤣🤣🤣

Trying the persona feature. It is very nifty!

I really needed a quiet microblog. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

Same. I really wish this platform would last a long time... I've seen so many cool initiatives get posted on HN, only to be taken offline a few months later.

brings so many issues. It really accelerates. Not only the good parts but also the bad parts. Combine this with a product person that doesn't even know what a refinement is. I'm 41, maybe I'll study to pivot, maybe I'll get into trading. I can't handle it anymore.

replied to:

what is a refinement? honest question - I'm restructuring our refinements now. Like having group of people discussing 5 items in an hour gives little chances any one of them will be addressed properly, unless they are trivial.

replied to:

Architect/lead have a pre-refinement with product to clear 80% of the obvious questions. We share an agenda, devs can ask questions async. In the refinement product presents, we design a solution draft. 15 minutes/item. This doesn't work if product is incompetent and everything is AI-slopped.

This SM is like a subreddit feed, except you also get a personalized feed along with 'hot' and 'latest' for people you follow. Or maybe it's modelled after twitter? Never used it so wouldnt know

But maybe we'd all be a little saner if we remembered what we're actually doing: building tools to make our lives and the lives of others easier.

This resonated a lot. I’m glad I read it now, before going totally insane lol. But I disagree that it’s just a glorified spreadsheet. The UI/UX matters, how you present the data, how they can change and so on, all of those things play a role. The good thing with AI is iteration is cheaper than ever, so you can experiment and process the results quickly. But yeah sometimes I just do things here because I just have to be doing something, I can’t leave it alone.

replied to:

Agreed. The "just" makes the statement sound dismissive, but I do agree with the underlying sentiment that most software boils down to CRUD apps that help people organize information and complete tasks more efficiently. I think the path to developer enlightenment is realizing this truth without despairing over it.

All the tools I vibecode. I use them almost every day. Spotlight on macOS broke one day and didn’t recover. Now I have my own personal version. I don’t trust any of the Password management software, so - personal version. Entertainment software sucks and ended up asking for too much money… Fetching videos from the internet was cumbersome - personal version. Photo management software is not how my hundreds of thousands of photos and videos are structured, so…

So, I've been using this harness for a week and a half now, and what's interesting to me is that it brings a lot of things that I'd already built for myself in Pi. I built a little email system for agents to communicate, a memory system to do this "continual harness" thing of self-improvement. I know I'll move on to another harness in the future, so I'm trying to treat this like I do laptops now, and think about portability in the things I build or customize.

中国的开源模型在最高意志的主导下，在预训练数据阶段，就筛除大量对其不利的内容，sft阶段构建的数据掺入大量替其辩护的内容。急需一个纠偏数据集用于微调

Under the overarching influence of a single, powerful force, China's open-source models filter out a large amount of content unfavorable to their designs during the pre-training stage, and then incorporate a significant amount of content defending their designs into the data constructed during the SFT stage. A corrective dataset is urgently needed for fine-tuning.
