It's the simplest RSS reader in the world: no badges, registration or download necessary.

Feedback: Would've been really nice to have an editor on your website. I'm on mobile, so I probably would have added a few feeds -> generated a link with query params -> put it on my slack to pick it up on my laptop later

I know I could just type it or send just the website link over, but it just feels like more work and I'm not invested enough (ie if I'd generated a link now I'd feel like I invested effort and would definitely open it on the laptop. With just a link...not sure)

The other article on solar takeoff in Africa got some traction, but this one is backed up with some data.

I use this for my rss reader!

RSS is awesome! That’s why I made the simplest RSS reader[1] and a RSS feed of Hacker News classics that’s updated daily[2].

Using this curbed my Reddit usage quite a lot.

They mention that in the article. It’s not enough to offset the higher break wear.

Would you ever trust an AI agent running your business? As hilarious as this small experiment is, is there ever a point where you can trust it to run something long term? It might make good decisions for a day, month or a year and then one day decide to trash your whole business.

I’ve just written a small anecdote with GPT3.5, where it lost count of some trivial item quantity incremental in just a few prompts. It might get better for the orders of magnitude from now on, but who’s gonna pay for ‘that one eventual mistake’.

GPT3.5? Did you mean to send this 2 years ago?

Maybe. Did LLMs stop with hallucinations and errors 2 years ago?

It does seem far more straight forward to say "Write code that deterministically orders food items that people want and sends invoices etc."

I feel like that's more the future. Having an agent sorta make random choices feel like LLMs attempting to do math, instead of LLMs attempting to call a calculator.

Every output that is going to be manually verified by a professional is a safe bet.

People forget that we use computers for accuracy, not smarts. Smarts make mistakes.

Right, but if we limit the scope too much we quickly arrive at the point where 'dumb' autonomy is sufficient instead of using the world's most expensive algorithms.

I don't think any decision maker will let LLMs run their business. If the LLMs fail, you could potentially lose your livelihood.

Just like with traffic: you build more roads, but traffic stays the same. It's induced demand[1].

The whole thread is so wholesome. Recommended reading :)

I agree. That’s why I created the simplest possible RSS reader[1]. I use it daily, but so far I’m the only user :D.

Thanks for the inspiration!
