I'm sure every business can pull out an area and say: this is profitable. It's a classic hide the losses a shell game. So many shills on HN today, feels sponsored.

They cannot grow indefinitely when they make a loss on every user. More growth = bigger losses. Current investors should be left holding this shit bag, better them than retirement funds.

These numbers show that OpenAI is boned. They have no path to profitability and if they raise prices or cut services they will strangle their golden goose. They could have existed indefinitely as a service layer that was reliant on other co

The commenter above seems to be describing late stage capitalism, where businesses exist mainly to milk investors, as told by bad boy tech executive Dick Jones in the 1980's action movie RoboCop.

“I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209, renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years… Who cares if it worked or not?!?”

This news matters because investors should prefer safer investments than: well at least it's not a "doomsday scenario" grade.

Indeed. Is America really very far from the Soviet planned economy where the Dear Leader would manage what crops got planted, and who would starve?

If American services can be yeeted on a whim, American services can no longer be relied upon. The Fable debacle seems destined to be the canonical reason why the EU built their own software / AI ecosystem.

I was about 8 or 9 on my first reading, those chapters are just slow and don't advance the plot, probably would have bounced me out of the book. As an adult I found the author's horny depiction of Goldberry kind of off putting.

You are right to push back. I read it later.

My uncle who lent young me his copy of LOTR advised me to skip the Tom Bombadil chapters entirely, it was good advice.

Can't we just get to the pop culture version of the DK effect by deduction? It seems reasonable to assume that for some group of intellects they are not smart enough to know how not smart they are. There is no definite boundary where t

The Dunning Kruger effect suggests that the people who caused the pain are also those least likely to feel it.

I set Fable onto a couple of intermittent bugs in my React Native app that Opus had failed to solve. It came up with novel approaches for both that squashed the bugs further up the pipeline, killing baby Hitler before he could become proble

There are other groups: scouts, football, dance, crafts, etc. Actually doing stuff in the world does not require a phone. Kids learn by doing stuff. In general around this topic, there is a lot of post hoc rationalisation about choices alre

I was navigating a big city and the surrounding countryside at the age of 12 before the internet was a thing. Apps and phones are not necessary for exploration.

Do you think kids are developing socially whilst on their phones?

I'm living it. They don't despise me, yet. My youngest just spent a rainy afternoon reading books, drawing pictures, and is now breaking out a boardgame, the horror! Hopefully they grow up well adjusted and come to appreciate the

Parents need to weigh potential otracization against the cost of giving a smart device, which could be as high as ending their normal childhood development. Personally I think no phones until 16 is a good rule.

I was sitting on a cafe listening to a podcast where I heard about a sci-fi author banging out 40+ books per year. How are they doing that?, I thought. Either a team of ghost writers, a boat load of cocaine, or they are using AI. So I decid

By sitting in the alcove, and keeping well back, Winston was able to remain outside the range of the telescreen, so far as sight went. He could be heard, of course, but so long as he stayed in his present position he could not be seen. It w

Yes, though this has been a problem long before Figma or AI. Photoshop enabled pretty pictures of what a website / app / service might look like, and then these often became set in stone. One solution is to keep all mockups /

If this model is more honest, it must be honestly praising my efforts every first sentence.

Are you telling me that Luigi Manglone was not foiled by a eagle eyed McDonalds employee?!?
