Retiring Windows 10 and Microsoft’s move towards a surveillance state

✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: đź“Ś Here’s what you’ll learn: Recently, the Secure Resilient Future Foundation released a newsletter calling for Microsoft to extend Windows 10 support past the October 14th deadline. With the release of Windows 11, the threat to data privacy is the worst it’s ever been. In my recent article, “Looking back at my transition from Windows to Linux in an anti-customer age”, I wrote about my switch to Linux and how it saved me from having to sacrifice my freedom in the name of convenience. Whether you’re a business…

🚀 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: đź’ˇ Main takeaway: Archives Categories Blogroll This post wraps up my notes on chapter 5 of Sebastian Raschka's book "Build a Large Language Model (from Scratch)". Understanding cross entropy loss and perplexity were the hard bits for me in this chapter -- the remaining 28 pages were more a case of plugging bits together and running the code, to see what happens. The shortness of this post almost feels like a damp squib. After writing so much in the last 22 posts, there's really not all that much to…

Ask HN: Can’t get hired – what’s next?

🚀 Check out this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: âś… Here’s what you’ll learn: Hey HN,I feel like I've wasted the better part of my twenties trying to be a professional software engineer and founding two companies. Fortunately I have some money to show for it and I learned a lot, but at this point it seems I'm functionally unemployable / have skills that just don't make the cut anymore.Building with AI is incredible, but when I get interviews I just flat out can't pass tech screens anymore. I've gotten lucky with a few "forward deployed" roles…

✨ Discover this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: đź“Ś Here’s what you’ll learn: Why? Acrobat is intrusive, slow and non-customizable. Of course there are alternatives, specifically bad ones. FoxIt is slow and non-customizable. Chrome/Firefox kinda works as a PDF reader, but is lacking in the feature department. On linux there is (at least) one non-bad PDF reader. Zathura is amazing with the MuPDF backend. However it only works on X11/Xorg and thus Linux. I use Wayland and Windows. Zathura-2? If I could just reach parity with the features from Zathura it would be the perfect program for…

🔥 Check out this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: âś… Here’s what you’ll learn: tl;dr We explore language models that recursively call themselves or other LLMs before providing a final answer. Our goal is to enable the processing of essentially unbounded input context length and output length and to mitigate degradation “context rot”. We propose Recursive Language Models, or RLMs, a general inference strategy where language models can decompose and recursively interact with their input context as a variable. We design a specific instantiation of this where GPT-5 or GPT-5-mini is queried in a Python REPL environment…

đź’Ą Discover this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: đź’ˇ Key idea: Syntax highlighting is a tool. It can help you read code faster. Find things quicker. Orient yourself in a large file. Like any tool, it can be used correctly or incorrectly. Let’s see how to use syntax highlighting to help you work. Most color themes have a unique bright color for literally everything: one for variables, another for language keywords, constants, punctuation, functions, classes, calls, comments, etc. Sometimes it gets so bad one can’t see the base text color: everything is highlighted. What’s the base text…

LLMs and the Lessons We Still Haven’t Learned

đź’Ą Read this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: âś… Here’s what you’ll learn: Even though the impacts of LLMs have never been seen before, they feel familiar to earlier assumptions. For context: I wasn’t the “PhD scientist,” working on models. I was the guy who worked on productionizing their proof-of-concept code and turning it into something people could actually use. I worked in industries ranging from software/hardware automated testing at Motorola to small startups dealing with accessibility and education.So here is what I've learned:This AI hype cycle is missing the mark by building ChatGPT-like bots and “✨”…

✨ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ Category: đź’ˇ Here’s what you’ll learn: Claude Haiku 4.5, our latest small model, is available today to all users.What was recently at the frontier is now cheaper and faster. Five months ago, Claude Sonnet 4 was a state-of-the-art model. Today, Claude Haiku 4.5 gives you similar levels of coding performance but at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed.Claude Haiku 4.5 even surpasses Claude Sonnet 4 at certain tasks, like using computers. These advances make applications like Claude for Chrome faster and more useful than ever before.Users who…
