And what a better time to set optimization aside when schools and universities are getting less and less students each semester due to population decline.

Interestingly, you dont consider your 'inverse' point: that now the manual part of teaching the stuff can (and definitely will) be automated with LLMs.

It will become similar to coding: humans evaluate, LLMs just provide what has been mechanical for a couple hundred years

Excellent motto, too good to pass a genuine appreciation comment

Can it be dangerous to use uv as it can cause mutations in pathogens potentially making them evolve even faster?

I assume the kind of uv used must be fatal, but is there a chance that a tiny percentage makes it?

Definitely, but maybe that lets me see clear that is not that 'spotify killed the thrill of the hunt ' but rather 'i miss the old times', which wouldn't get as voted in HN.

In other words, clickbait title, not an interesting conversation topic.

Bad take, the more accessible is something to find, the easier it is for people to listen to it. And I think if you do music, you want as much ears listening to your tunes.

This romanticizes logistical issues for nostalgia purposes.

I did not live through that era, but his description makes me thankful i didn't have to go through all that to find my favorite music

OP, I would encourage you to take a sleep test. While it seems to be correlated with sound, it sounds (pun not intended) way too similar to my OSA symptoms

I can second this. The app basically shows more of what is proven to keep you in the app. It's kinda revealing to be frank: instead of getting mad with it just do some introspection.

Your comment is written as it learning a language was not a subjective experience, which could not be further from the actual thing

Spanish is such a blessing as mispronouncing a word rarely changes the meaning.

Whereas in Chinese or to a lesser degree English, you have to very mindful on how you pronounce stuff.

As a native Spanish speaker the thing I dread the most is grammar and the absurd amount of verbal times there are. Even native speakers don't speak with perfect grammar.

What does not get used, atrophies.

Critical thinking, forming ideas, writing, etc, those are too stuff that can atrophy if not used.

For example, a lot of people can't locate themselves without a GPS today.

To be frank I see it really similar to our muscles: don't want to lose it? Use it. Whether that is learning a language, playing an instrument or the task llms perform.

I think this explains something of our human nature that we would not even know we have: It is coded within us to help people in need as we can very well be there at any future moment.

Just think about it, we are a social species and without this type of behaviors it makes no sense for individuals to stay together. It is a strategy of our genes to keep successfully replicating.

But even so, I agree with the author there is something really spiritual about this: deeply contradictory but firmly rooted in our nature.

Just an open thought, what if most improvement we are seeing is not mostly due to LLM improvements but to context management and better prompting?

Ofc the reality is a mix of both, but really curious on what contributes more.

Probably just using cursor with old models (eww) can yield a quick response.

Lovely read.

Just a curious question if the authors or any maintainers read this comment:

Does this bug fix break the functionality of re-connecting the client? Or how would the client know they need to use the same port as the previous session?

(My understanding is that a new client coming from the same IP and different port will now be treated as a new player instead of a reconnect)

Ad verecundiam. One does not need to be in a institution to come up with interesting observations/ results.

To be frank the reason that make me question it the most is how repetitive the redaction is. Seems LLM-like.

However, that's not a valid reason to discard an interesting result.

I'm a little bit skeptical but i dont have any objective argument or experience in the field to justify it. I didn't want to post it, but I was surprised that almost no one in the hn comments had the same feeling.

Don't get me wrong, I would love this finding to be replicable, it would be pivotal as what other nerves could we stimulate to change perception (think pain, mental health issues, loss of senses).

Also, I wonder if this could take us closer to understand a little bit more of how the brain works. Like this could be a great way for normalizing 'inputs' and see how different brains react to it.

Very very exciting news, but I will hold on my hype until someone else can replicate this result.
