New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you stay at the bleeding edge of AI tooling?

Ask HN: How do you stay at the bleeding edge of AI tooling? 2 by otekengineering | 7 comments on Hacker News. HN is great, especially compared to reddit (unless i'm missing the best subreddits?), but even here there's comments from people who don't know how to ride a bike pontificating about how useless/dangerous/etc bikes are and telling me how important it is not to forget how to run. where's the forum for bicycle enthusiasts? there's undoubtedly a lot of good harnesses and tooling squirreled away on self-hosted git repos, and that's the crowd i want to chew the fat with examples of the type of perspective i'm looking for in a social network to parasocially stalk, https://ift.tt/qvbOGsd https://ift.tt/AyTwax8

New ask Hacker News story: Newer macOS runs slower on Intel (undeniably) – on purpose or "accident"?

Newer macOS runs slower on Intel (undeniably) – on purpose or "accident"? 5 by srevenant | 6 comments on Hacker News. FIRST: if you feel the urge to say "get a PC" or "try linux" please don't. This is about apple/mac/macos hardware. suggestions to linux or other things isn't helpful. I have a macbook pro, 32G ram, lightning fast nvme drive. There is NO REASON to upgrade the hardware. I've followed the upgrade path to their latest (Tahoe) and they announced this is the last. But it has become UNBEARABLY slow and painful for some operations. Most notably screen sharing drives it into the ground. I've tried all sorts of things from os settings to whatever--short of redoing the heat paste on the CPU itself. I even installed Fedora on a generation before mine without the security chip (the first gen touch bar). Fedora was /lightning/ fast. (I even re-installed fresh from Tahoe, no difference). It is undeniable: Apple has made the newer MacOS ...

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Claude is completely unusable for biology

Tell HN: Claude is completely unusable for biology 4 by Protostome | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've found that doing basic biology research with Claude has become extremely difficult. I'm not talking about anything remotely related to developing a bioweapon, just straightforward immunology questions that almost always end up being flagged. I completely understand the need for guardrails, but in practice they can significantly reduce the tool's usefulness for legitimate scientific research. It sometimes feels like the model is better suited for "vibe coding" than for serving as a serious research assistant. What's more funny is that you can use claude code together with molecular design models like RFdiffusion and Alphafold to develop a real bioweapon, but since this is in the realm of software, the prompts do not get flagged at all. Those models can even run on consumer GPUs so the limit of access is almost not there. Has anyone else had a similar experien...
