antirez 6 hours ago. 31112 views. Frontier LLMs such as Gemini 2.5 PRO, with their vast understanding of many topics and their ability to grasp thousands of lines of code in a few seconds, are able to extend and amplify the programmer capabilities. If you are able to describe problems in a clear way and, if you are able to accept the back and forth needed in order to work with LLMs, you can reach incredible results such as: 1.

Psychiatric Researchers Warn of Grim Psychological Risks for AI Users

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-20 09:15:54

Without even looking at medical data, it's pretty clear that "artificial intelligence" — a vast umbrella term for various technologies over the years, but currently dominated by the data-hungry neural networks powering chatbots and image generators — can have life-altering effects on the human brain. We're not even three years out from the release of the first commercially-available LLM, and AI users have already been driven to paranoid breaks from reality, religious mania, and even suicide. A

Rethinking CLI interfaces for AI

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-20 07:58:42

We need to augment our command line tools and design APIs so they can be better used by LLM Agents. The designs are inadequate for LLMs as they are now – especially if you're constrained by the tiny context windows available with local models. Agent APIs Like many developers, I’ve been dipping my toes into LLM agents. I’ve done my fair share of vibe coding, but also I’ve been playing around with using LLMs to automate reverse engineering tasks mostly using mrexodia’s IDA Pro MCP , including ex

Local LLMs versus offline Wikipedia

news.ycombinator.com Evan Hahn 2025-07-20 07:49:02

Two days ago, MIT Technology review published “How to run an LLM on your laptop”. It opens with an anecdote about using offline LLMs in an apocalypse scenario. “‘It’s like having a weird, condensed, faulty version of Wikipedia, so I can help reboot society with the help of my little USB stick,’ [Simon Willison] says.” This made me wonder: how do the sizes of local LLMs compare to the size of offline Wikipedia downloads?

‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Is Delayed Again, but Only for a Bit

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however.

‘Eddington’ Director Ari Aster Couldn’t Stand ‘Living in the Internet.’ So He Made a Movie About It

Karl Urban is a wise-cracking Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II

Karl Urban takes a break from The Boys to play a washed-up Johnny Cage in the trailer for Mortal Kombat II, a sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat reboot and the fourth live-action film in the franchise based on the 1990s video game series. It comes one day after Warner Bros. released a (very entertaining) fake trailer for a new in-universe, faux 1990s Johnny Cage movie, Uncaged Fury.

A novel malware family named LameHug is using a large language model (LLM) to generate commands to be executed on compromised Windows systems.

‘The Odyssey’ Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites.

For Pistilli, opting for local models as opposed to online chatbots has implications beyond privacy. “Technology means power,” she says. “And so who[ever] owns the technology also owns the power.” States, organizations, and even individuals might be motivated to disrupt the concentration of AI power in the hands of just a few companies by running their own local models. Breaking away from the big AI companies also means having more control over your LLM experience. Online LLMs are constantly sh

Nintendo just announced the two leads of its live-action Legend of Zelda film, and unlike the celebrity-packed Mario movie cast, Zelda will star two young, lesser-known actors: Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. You may not have heard of them, but there’s a good chance they’re going to be a part of the franchise for a while.
