Most large tech companies are just job programmes, i've seen so much effort, time, cost go into things that are truly unimportant. React Native gives you (with asterisks) - one "source" for things to go wrong (as it sits on t

> leaving aside the idea that OA might've used data from the researchers Codex sessions Why leave that aside? That is _the_ story. If a Chinese research lab did this we'd call it espionage.

Thanks for answering in good faith. Yeah so unverified PR's is super annoying, but people using LLMs to answer things incorrectly they could look at themselves is a big issue too. I often hear this get dismissed along the lines of &quo

I see a lot of enthusiasm from people who work alone or who have total control over a project and nothing but abject misery from people who work in a professional setting with a group of people using coding models. I'm just building so

Simon - I hope this is not a rude question, but do you work with other engineers?

Such a big disconnect in the coverage of coding models and the output they produce. If you discard coding purity questions like style, architecture, cleanliness - the stuff they come out with is buggy & error prone. The problems seems a

Weird thing to see at number 3 on HN - is there some subtle context I am missing here? Are we wink winking that it's a lot of fixes?

I keep seeing people working on Passkeys get real defensive when told they don't make sense to people. I've worked in tech 12+ years and I _hate_ when a Passkey prompt comes up, its only ever slowed me down. But the devs who work

I read this as deeply embarrassing for OpenAI - they can't securely contain a program, even with their apparently amazing AI.

I don't think the parallels are quite as clear for a few reasons: 1. Lock in - with an LLM, there is practically no lock in because of the inputs & outputs being text. You can move easily 2. Motivation - I think you underestimate j

Few questions, wonder if anyone knows the answers: 1. So it's Trainline on a persons phone that is tracking this info and using it to enrich this service? I use Trainline and didn't know it was doing that, but I do have location p

I sound conspiratorial - but everything happening in the US around AI + Crypto has the fingerprints of David Sacks and Theil on it. You can hear them talk about these things and then they happen. Sacks has talked extensively about the US go

If you don't think Playstation and Xbox are dying I would suggest looking at their performance and statements from the past 24 months. Xbox hardware sales down 30%, 5% on services and revenue. Sony PlayStation operating revenue is down
