I recently heard that a trip to Popeye's for a family of 3 recently cost $68 in Florida. In Japan, there's a big issue when a snack raises its price 2 cents (3 yen - source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/japa

Rough - this is an ugly article, because like Ayn Rand it has the illusion of truth. A bit like saying "Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others." Meritocracy is doubtless a fallacy, as anyone who has atten

Possibly. They've tried it with cars (previously the 'pinnacle' of human tech and engineering) and they've basically lost the game, which they led. Agree with your assessments on culture and finance though. Thanks for th

You really look at my original comment and think - "yeah that deserves a BIIIIG round of downvotes?" And then I come back and engaged and then you think I'm digging myself in a hole? I'm having a substantive debate on a

Mate if you're going to cherry pick about "markets and alignment" -> More people have died in the EU from heat waves due to lack of air conditioning than gun violence in the US. Ratio is worse if you remove suicide gun d

Obviously a caricature, but you must engage with the substance of the underlying issue. If you have watched the EU's approach to U.S. tech cos (DMA, DPA) you can see a trend of increased regulation; to where it's not worth sometim

Thanks for engaging. People weaponizing the downvote here without good faith discussion is disappointing but expected on HN recently. It's OK, you can take my HN points. > The EU has a tremendous number of smart software engineers.

This is the correct answer, but GPT-5.5's personality is totally fine. Steipete said best when GPT-5.5 is just German humorless compsci PhD.

it is the fight, but the game is already over. what do people think the billions of billions of pattern matching used in ads will be used for? people think 'anonymous' credentialing will work here? they've captured scroll pat

Cool little vehicle. They'll start selling k trucks in the US too. We could stand for a little more utility and less soul crushing largeness.

It's not really equivocation in this instance. This feels like a 'bad faith' comment. We can do better. LLM's literally wouldn't work without the sum total of knowledge (in the forms of books and other copyrighted c

How are they 'streaming' the responses and 'pooling' the tokens? Do they have MacBooks in the US that run the queries and stream the outputs back to China?
