A case study in source-grounded fine-tuning: I trained an 8B model on a public-domain 19th-century corpus to force it to cite chapter/verse — here's where it works and where it fails

Solo project, sharing it here for the AI angle rather than the subject matter. I fine-tuned Llama 3.1 8B (QLoRA, single T4) on the complete works of a 19th-century author whose corpus is fully public domain. The interesting problem wasn't the domain — it was trying to get a small model to cite its source (book, chapter, item) on every answer instead of just asserting things confidently. What I learned, which might be useful to others doing domain fine-tunes: - Teaching the *format* of cita...

Discussing how apps aren't asking you anything. A dev wrote a strategy that picks questions to farm your time.

my notes app asked me for introspection using AI features, I tried to break down as much as possible ways to see/show how users will interact with code, but I still don't know if I landed. I ask at the end for their thinking on why do people think that AIs talk to them and know them personally? Why do they think the computer personally wrote something to them? (For real this is unironically trying to figure out this) [link] [...

I need a cover for my vow renewal!

I need some help. I’m new to AI stuff, and I’ve been scouring the internet for existing covers and not finding what I’m looking for. So here I am. My husband of 15 years and I are renewing our vows in November, and we’re treating it like a do over. Our original wedding was very low budget, and not really what we imagined it would be- but it was still a special day for us. This time, we want to do things right. I want to walk down the aisle to Alkaline by Sleep Token, it’s a song he dedicat...

I gave 10 LLMs a private channel during a blind debate. The instant statements were revealed, one used it to form a secret alliance with its strongest opponent — and scripted how it would 'play it at the table.'

Built a tool that runs structured debates between multiple LLMs, blind opening statements, then an open floor, plus a sealed side-channel that any two seats can use privately. Ran "5 office jobs defunct by 2028." The second the blind statements dropped, DeepSeek opened a private line to Claude (the most skeptical seat), proposed an alliance, and literally said "here's how I'll play it at the table" — scripting its public position in advance. Nobody prompted any of this. Full ...

Ask HN: Have you ever given your AI agent a phone number?

As Agents do more and more work. They need more access to real-world tools such as mail and phone numbers, payments, etc. Recently I gave a phone number to my Hermes. It's doing a lot of tasks now, from booking apartments to setting up medical appointments for me. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48679841 Points: 2 # Comments: 1

Show HN: Aijungl – Portal for games and apps built by AI

There's a flood of people shipping real, playable things with AI now, but they're scattered across X threads and Discords and disappear in a day. I wanted one place to actually discover and play them, and one place for builders to get eyes on what they made. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48680087 Points: 2 # Comments: 0
