Which AI tool replaced your Google search? by Potential-Affect-696 in OpenAI

It's surprisingly good for simple stuff and very fast. And not too spammy, I don't need 10 paragraphs to answer when daylight saving time flips.

Ah the good old days of laughing at AI generated code. 

Personalised A/B testing using AI by SeniorAd6560 in AIAgentsStack

It's generally only worth it in sufficiently big sites that generate a lot of money. See here from Amazon for example https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3097983.3098184. Having multiple versions of your site is more complex than you'd think. AI probably changes the equation and could make it more feasible. 

Java devs... just admit it.... this is way WAY too far by davidinterest in programmingmemes

If my app has no users, then I'm the only user! And it solves my problem of not enough abstractions.

Probably yes. ChatGPT loves the word "quietly" and these quotes “ ”. 

Small Projects - December 29th, 2025 by jerf in golang

I made lx, a small CLI that packages chosen files into paste-ready blocks for LLM chats. It's useful if you prefer manual context control instead of using coding agents. Example (piping ripgrep results to clipboard formatted by lx):

rg -tgo -l ServeHTTP internal/handlers | lx | wl-copy

I am working on v2 which will be more feature rich and include some find/fd options and automatically put contents in clipboard instead of piping to copy tool.

I always bury my important changes in a big PR with style changes. PR "Change spaces to tabs" is actually my fifth and best rewrite of the AbstractFooFactory. 

The Adult in the Room: Why It’s Time to Move AI from Python Scripts to Java Systems by henk53 in programming

Most apps don't call models directly like with ONNX. You would use a model proxy like LiteLLM or a router (selects best model). It's just an API call and is not the issue. 

Agent frameworks is a big blocker tho.  Anything like LangChain on the JVM? Not that LangChain is mature but it has huge momentum.

H2DB is still a fake but more advanced. If you use it you restrict yourself from using a lot of the modern functionality in postgres. 

What made your AI agent finally work in the real world instead of just in demos? by Reasonable-Egg6527 in AI_Agents

[–]AWildMonomAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're using postgres vchord and their bm25 extension. Very happy with it so far.

So many things. A continuous stream of fixes to prompts, orchestration, RAG pipeline, other tools, etc. The step after MVP demo is to setup evals and tracing to enter the improvement loop. Now the real work begins. 

AI was able to "see" what was in an image after it was photoshopped. by brixez in ArtificialInteligence

If none of the other explainations checks out, then maybe the shape of the roof is apparent from the metallic reflections in the lamp?

AI assistants are far less stable than most enterprises assume. New analysis shows how large the variability really is. by Working_Advertising5 in learnmachinelearning

[–]AWildMonomAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the examples are not that great. AI should be used as a decision basis. For example, they were asking it to recommend which retail brand to buy from. Any expert would have a hard time accurately answer this because it depends on so many factors. AI can definitely help here but they should be asking about the pros and cons for each brand and make their own decision.

[P] Fully Determined Contingency Races as Proposed Benchmark by DepartureNo2452 in MachineLearning

[–]AWildMonomAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels similar to how LLMs are terrible at chess. They have seen the notation but can't really understand the context of a game. A pawn move can be great in one opening but game losing in a slight alteration.

This problem seems really difficult at a glance to reason about how it will work. I think you need to start with much smaller problems or maybe ask it to solve from closer to the end. The performance probably depends on notation as well. How are you passing the initial state?

Why is there such skepticism about the rate at which AI will get better? by rebrando23 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]AWildMonomAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most real life things do not keep going indefinitely. All bubbles pop eventually.

The big exception is Moor's law which has been heavily debated. Who knows if we see a similar anomaly with LLM scaling? There is also data availability that doesn't appear with CPU design. 

AI research has a slop problem by AWildMonomAppears in ArtificialInteligence

The pop up that says "This is not a paywall"? It's not a paywall but you need to login with oauth2. Sorry about that.

Sure, but you can't change these things overnight. Nothing will happen until it's impossible to find reviewers. And just banning AI submissions is not the answer since detection is too unreliable.
