OpenAI launches ChatGPT desktop app for Linux

Yes, a GUI. There are various terminal multiplexers out there, but OpenAI wants you to use theirs.

Interesting how everyone seems to be following OpenAI on UX. When I used Antigravity and they suddenly switched to Codex type UI I was very annoyed because I kept checking if this is Codex or Antigravity. Either way, I still don't think that computer use is solved. It worked horribly on Codex and Antigravity the last time I tried. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

How do they stop providers (like Amazon, etc.) from detecting and blocking these agents if they are running on cloud? I know that openai wasn't able to avoid this which is why they moved to 'computer use' on your local machine. I almost wonder if this is a place where SpaceX, as an internet provider through starlink, has a unique advantage because websites are unable to block their networking as it could be residential starlink consumers.

Anthropic Posts 'How Claude Marks AI-Generated Content' Without Explaining How

Mark Zuckerberg attacks 'closed' AI rivals as Meta returns to open models

I see no contradiction. GPT as synonym for AI and llama as symbol for open weights models. The original comment said llama had set something off in the open weights community. And I say you see that with llama.cpp, llamaindex, r/localllama. No one bothered to update them to qwen.cpp or qwenindex. And they were never localgpt or gpt.cpp. Culture and language use says a lot about importance of ideas. Regardless of what was first or what some scholar sees as historically more important.

OpenAI launches ChatGPT desktop app for Linux

Nice - I've been considering re-subscribing to OpenAI to try out their new models. This is just the push I needed. Looking forward to trying it on Fedora 44.

Remove Claude's Watermark

Right now we use a special algorithm to rephrase the submitted text without changing or losing meaning. Once Anthropic documents how to detect the watermark itself work to remove it more surgically can commence.

According to Boris Cherny from Anthropic [1], the threat of prompt injection has been largely solved. [1]: https://x.com/bcherny/status/2086520950259118464

OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining

staying for less than a year usually means you don't take any equity with you, it must've been an incredible offer in that case, since those openai shares are a golden ticket right now

Nvidia's Risky Business

> But people have been saying this about CUDA for twenty years, and we are not any closer to a replacement GPGPU paradigm today. How much money was in it for the first decade or so? I think AMD was asleep at the switch but e.g. Apple just did their own thing for the parts which they prioritized. My understanding is also that Anthropic and OpenAI have also worked to decouple themselves so I think it’s likely that the CUDA moat is going to be less of a barrier than it used to be from the perspective of guaranteeing Nvidia profits.

Asked AI to do a mini math breakthrough. It did a mini breakthrough

Yesterday Anthropic published a new result about the Riemann zeta function. A research version of Claude had moved a mathematical lower bound from 41.666% to 67.25007%. I read that and said to Nix, my own AI agent: “Give me a mini math breakthrough on top of it” It back with a 7-page mathematical argument claiming 67.30214%. I have no idea what I did lol, but 4 different agents confirmed that. One even thinking half an hour

Nvidia's Risky Business

I think the linked semi-analysis piece is about right. Google is more focused on protecting its 4.2 trillion dollar golden goose than pushing cutting edge which leads to a bureaucratic nightmare that researchers simply dont need to engage with when openAI/anthropic are offering even more money. Why waste time dealing with bureaucracy at google when you can be top dog at openAI or anthropic?

Compression is prediction

>Mixing this can let you believe that you can use a compressor to do the same thing as LLMs, which you cannot. You can, actually! Any compressor can be losslessly converted into a generator, and vice versa. Traditional compressors like gzip are of course very simple and can only replicate rough patterns from the input. But they are technically doing the same thing.

Show HN: I used AI to filter AI-focused content from HN

Hi I updated the title because the previous one was a little misleading. I'm using GPT 5.6 sol and simply asking if the content and title indicate that the article is primarily focused on AI, rather than being generated by AI. I checked hugging face and found surprisingly few models dedicated to detecting AI-generated text though, but there are some APIs and sites like GPTZero available for it. Perhaps the "detect AI-generated content and remove it from feeds" problem could be an interesting one to investigate though

Ask HN: Have you used LLMs to reinvigorate you niche programming community?

I've seen a few discussions over the years about how niche languages like Lisp, Forth, Prolog, etc. would be great to use, but even for personal projects the lack of available packages makes them hard to use. However, with an LLM you can have it replicate whatever package you'd like from a more popular language. You can even port software to your favorite niche architecture. If you really want to run your homelab off a PA-RISC machine you just give an agent SSH access and tell it to make the software work. For myself, I have only done very little of this. I did add POWER vectorization to POV-Ray so that I can get a little more speed out of a machine that has more power than it needs for other things. Instead of letting it use something like Python or Go for small scripts I'll tell the LLM…

To Save C, We Must Save ABI (2022)

Smart-arse is comparing C versus JavaScript, instead of C vs C++, for example. And then coming with such lengthy ad hominem. Let make a fun exercise for the audience, given your performance remark. Paste a random C code that I should replicate in whatever language I feel like. There is one rule. If the sample code is pure ISO C, then I will only use what is in the standard of whatever language I pick up. If the sample code makes use of single language extension not part of ISO C, then I will have the freedom to also pick whatever language extensions I feel like.

Show HN: Lance-bundle – Portable embeddings to embed once, query forever

Hello, While experimenting with personal, local RAG app setups, I kept having to (re)generate embeddings and really wanted precomputed embedding datasets that I could quickly pull and use in various environments. I built a library to test out the idea: lance-bundle lets you package precomputed embedding vectors alongside the actual embedding model so that everything can be loaded from a single file for querying against the vectors; initial version uses LanceDB + ONNX for low dependency footprint and fast cold start to vector queries. https://github.com/cloudkj/lance-bundle As part of this, a few datasets that might be of interest to this audience have been precomputed as embedding vectors and hosted on a Hugging Face dataset hub and can be directly loaded and queried a…
