Last year I went down a similar rabbit hole, and my conclusions were matched those in the article. If you have a project that you’re getting off the ground and don’t have funding for one of the more expensive options, you can either tie you

You don’t backup why you think this is the case. You only say that to think otherwise makes for a sad view of the world. I’d argue that you can find examples of companies that were untrustworthy and still won. Oracle stands out as one with

Not sure that’s apples to apples. Fluoride is a mineral. IIRC, ozempic is closer to a hormone.

I’m skeptical of the idea that across the general population we’d be healthier if we dialed up our insulin production. Serious question but has there ever been a case of humans benefitting from increasing a hormone like this? Since it’s an

This is great! You mentioned this is your full time project. How do you make a living off it? I see mention of affiliate links and a call for donations. Is that how you monetize the site?

Sorry I’m a bit confused. You describe this as an offline alternative to Notion, but there are also some optional components that run on serverless?

It’s not even JSX-like templates in Go because one of the biggest advantages of JSX is that for any logic you just use JavaScript instead of having to learn a template language. It’s extending HTML in JS rather than extending HTML to allow

You are using “React-like” to mean something people don’t usually attribute to React, hence why there’s so much confusion in the comments. React did not invent component-driven code organization. I would say React is better known for reacti

I would not blame LLMs for the current wave of layoffs. Maybe in the future, but these are more likely corrections from all the hiring and growth we saw during the pandemic.

That makes sense but then the pitch should include something about how back in 2005 the design for git had to make a trade off because of X limitation, but now that restriction isn’t applicable which enables features A and B. I don’t really

Very curious what you see as the problems with WebGPU currently. I’ve been tinkering with it slowly as it has a bit of a learning curve.

I wonder how the OpenAI employees feel about this after their full throated support for reinstating Altman and the shuffling of the previous board.

That’s an apple to oranges comparison. HN is an online community where most of the value comes from content generated by users (votes, comments, submissions) and the moderation by folks like dang. NY times gets most of its value from the co

It’s puzzling to me why some people take it as a given that if a person is legally able to do A, then software should too. The capabilities of software are so different than that of a person that it seems reasonable to consider how the laws

I don’t think the ability to quote the NYT is at the heart of this lawsuit. It’s that OpenAI used the NYT’s body of work to train its LLM and now built a business out of it without financially compensating the NYT. The verbatim snippets fro

I can’t imagine MS is super eager to welcome Sutskever if he really did lead Altman’s ouster. OpenAI caught lightning in a bottle, MS had aligned themselves with the next big thing in tech and then Sutskever threw a grenade that could cause

The OpenAI board's messaging around this has been absolutely atrocious. The reporting had Ilya at the center of getting rid of Altman, and how he's signing a letter asking the board to resign? Maybe he was trying to do the right t

If Sam does come back Ilya’s maneuver will have been a spectacular miscalculation. Sam would be back much stronger than before and the people who cared about OpenAI’s original mission will have a massively damaged their reputation and credi

I’d say OpenAI branding is a moat. The ChatGPT name is unique sounding and also something that a lot of lay people are familiar with. Similar to how it’s difficult for people to change search engine habits after they come to associate searc
