I had Gemini train its own replacement for $9

Request subtopic be changed to “I used Gemini to design a tool to replace specific uses of Gemini.”

1h agoHN ↗

titles on HN should match the original, rare exceptions

1h agoHN ↗

Use the original title: Submit the actual title from the source page unless it is misleading or linkbait.

And this can be said to be misleading in my opinion

31m agoHN ↗

I agree, this is misleading.

If he wanted a Gemini replacement verbatim, its called locally inferring it's sibling, Gemma.

29m agoHN ↗

It's regularly the case that they are simply too long to fit, so editorializing is necessary. Either cutting them slightly short, removing descriptors, excess verbs etc, is better than chopping a word in half.

17m agoHN ↗

The thinking people who would find this interesting and read this are probably more than capable of understanding this and critical enough to expect that. Conversation over the title is distraction of what's important. Just stick to keeping original source title and let people vote and down vote if they don't like it. That's what votes are for.

15m agoHN ↗

Or just: "I used Gemini to generate a tool".

I found it much more useful to go to a knife shop and handle a whole bunch of knives for myself. They’re all pretty similar besides material, so not much signal you’re going to be able to glean from people arguing on reddit.

1h agoHN ↗

Most of the attributes don’t matter. Most people would be much better off with a $50 Victorinox that they kept sharp and a wood cutting board they maintained than upgrading the knife. If you are using it all day there are definitely looking things from a comfort perspective but for most homes, does not matter.

I was hoping he tricked Gemini into running the training on the cluster that Gemini itself is running on. That would be novel!

Okay!

1h agoHN ↗

I feel like this warning solves it. No shame or trouble needed for anyone.

1h agoHN ↗

I stopped reading three sentences in when I realized it was getting hard to follow. AI explains it.

1h agoHN ↗

Thank you to the author for disclosing slop writing up front. I appreciate you respecting your readers time.

The other day I wanted to gather Reddit comments about a solar panel vendor. Claude doesn't have access to I had Gemini do some "deep research". When I fed the verbose report back to Claude it basically said it was a bunch of "hallucinated bullshit".

49m agoHN ↗

I've never had a Gemini Deep Research report that didn't sound like a load of pseudo-intellectual BS. It always starts with a long grandiose preamble and then sounds way too academic, almost like a caricature of academia.

11m agoHN ↗

Use Claude code and the chrome plugin to access reddit.

post training dataset for GLiNER is pretty small though.

The more intelligent AI become, the less moat it has

24m agoHN ↗

I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that, unless you upgrade to a premium enterprise subscription.

48m agoHN ↗

Isn't it just learning to map specific words, from the "knife world", to the correct class? If so, a simple dictionary would fit. What I think is a better way to validate is to split train/validation by words used presented in NER classes (like, it should be able to find new brands never seen before). It is a interesting problem.

1m agoHN ↗

That's a key piece of the article. He 'trusts' Gemini to classify the posts, and never hand validates anything.

And he continues building on top of that shakey trust. Is this a good idea?

It just depends on what you're doing: sounds like he's just having fun with a hobby, so it's harmless.

All he's really done is work more efficiently to save token cost and time. But he hasn't validated anything, so there's no telling if he's wasting time or not. It's a hobby though....

45m agoHN ↗

It’s unreadable but then again it says it on top, but it really is so why post it

44m agoHN ↗

I had Gemini read this article and write its summary to /dev/null

34m agoHN ↗

what do you do when a new brand of knife comes out?

16m agoHN ↗

Genuinely appreciate the honesty. If you believe there’s nothing wrong about writing with AI, there’s no reason to not own up to it.

10m agoHN ↗

I think the AI writing disclaimer was a decent touch.

5m agoHN ↗

So I scrape the Reddit threads where people argue about them and pull out every brand, model and steel they mention, to see what is getting bought and argued about.

Funny, normal harness with web search would one shot this, after like 20 minute search. "Replacing gemini" usually means instaling some(any)thing else, not digging deeper to get out of hole called gemini.

As for knifes, it is all same. Just do not buy total junk. Japanese knifes are way way overpriced.

4m agoHN ↗

I think this is the way. An LLM is an expensive general purpose tool and for repeatable tasks, after it's clarified the process flow, it builds cheaper special purpose tools for each step

2m agoHN ↗

    This article was written with the assistance of AI. If that bothers you, stop reading here. The numbers are real: every score comes from the ten training runs described below, and the full run log is in the linked knife.day write-up.

"I didn't write any of this, but you should still trust that the remaining work, ideas and observations are all mine."

To include a disclaimer like this is to fail to recognize that "real numbers" are way less meaningful when there's clear evidence that the prompter of the LLM is not really qualified to validate them.
