It’s absolutely a move from Sam Altman’s playbook but it got traction because it’s not coming from Sam Altman and the US rejection helped to give credibility to fear Mythos’ findings.

Opus 4.7 may be incredible but for how long? And they may have Mythos but I feel like they will put it out if pressed too much by their competitors. And again for how long will they keep the advantage? At the speed everything is advancing I

It is. With 10k MRR it represents 0.15% of the revenue. Having the whole backend costing that much for a company selling web apps is like it’s costing zero.

I think there are less experts on HN than years ago or a decade ago. And the culture of HN is getting slightly changing to a more Reddit culture every year. It’s too bad because it’s the only place I know where you have experts in tech but

15 years ago I had a Pocket Street Fighter game (Street Fighter characters in their baby version) and it was running fast even on a TI-89! You had 6 characters or so with Riu etc… It was really impressive. For sure the most well crafted bac

After the failure against countries with no military might like Vietnam, Irak, Afghanistan, and now Iran, I wouldn’t place a lot of importance into how much tech and quantity in the military plays a critical role into winning wars today.

Yes and no. What many call "dying cash cows" are often doing just fine, it’s just our perception of it that make them want to die. An example: Facebook. Could be considered a dying cash cows while looking at its products but it’s

I copied your comment to Gemini Pro and it has some interesting things to say. The link to avoid everybody to do the same query: https://g.co/gemini/share/15fc8eb095a2

You could also check Matt Levine from Money Stuff - Bloomberg. He is quite known on HN. The way he writes plus his great knowledge with no BS makes him my favorite (and only) journalist I follow. Edit: actually someone already found his art

Yes I came to the same conclusion. Just to add: be careful with Opus 4.6 guys. It’s expensive…

You know what after digging more into the subject I can say that you are effectively right. So thank you for taking the time and commenting on that. I still think it should be a tool a US president can have. Congress is not fast enough to p

I am not sure what you are not understanding since you know there are 3 branches. The judicial has no say on this. The judicial branch is more and more pushing political agenda when it’s not their role. Tariffs were always part of the exec

People may or may not have voted for Trump but I find this extremely disturbing. Unless it’s illegal when did the DOJ become involved in politics and policies? They are more and more stepping outside of their role. Setting tarifs is one of

This whole thread of discussion and elsewhere, it's surreal... Are we doomed? In 10 years some people will literally worship some AI while others won't be able to know what is true and what was made up.

I really don’t understand why in the West there is nobody in the streets to protest but there was so many people for Palestine… Where are the people?

Liquid Glass was actually a big surprise for me, and it was a shock to see Apple moving forward with this and nobody stopping it. Microsoft did that with Vista back in 2006 and they stopped doing this. So Apple is copying a 2006 design? Fro

I’m so sad I had this idea at least 6 years ago but I didn’t have the connections to make it happen. But that’s nice that they released the project. Apple open sourcing their tech?

Yes in data science there is say: “there is no free lunch”. With ChatGPT and others becoming so prevalent even at PhD level people that will work hard and avoid to use these tools will be more and more seen as magicians. I already see this

“Debts can & do magically disappear. To be clear someone paid for the lost money,” you contradict yourself. So no it doesn’t magically disappear. A bankruptcy somewhere is a loss for others somewhere else. Even cutting dept to pennies o
