I will try that again. XM5 here and I think I am mostly sad about not having a dedicated on/off that makes it obvious.

XM5, it does not have a physical dedicated on/off button it has a multipurpose where function is determined by how long you hold down the button. It’s not optimal design for me. I am sure a number of brands have moved towards this. Sec

Reading #2 makes me sad. I had a pair of Bose for probably a decade and tried out Sony and the biggest complaint I have is the lack of a physical off button. The Sony have a known issue where it don’t detect that it’s off of your head and i

Did not read all of it. Yes, it is a form of private equity. Of course. You missed the context. The post kept saying VC is buying a vet shop. In that context they meant private equity. VC is not the same as what they meant to say, PE.

This is just wrong. VC is not PE. The Vet example is really a bad trope. For every bad deal there are many others you never hear about. PE firms are not making money by simply buying everything up. The business still has to maintain and gro

It depends how we are looking at the business. Absolutely at the end of the day a company is profitable or not but when thinking about inference, which is largely a commodity these days, you would first think about the marginal cost of it.

by infecto 8mo ago
They are and they are convinced the cost is not truly baked in because you need to factor in all the training and R&D. It’s a mixture of folks that 1) are convinced AI is terrible, 2) hate Sam Altman and 3) don’t understand how business

Would it not? I actually don’t think I would mind speeding cameras and the like. Put a camera on every street and auto ticket every car.

Maybe it exists but I wish there was more heavy hitting articles/research on this. I feel like an absolute grumpy old man but it feels drastically different compared to my younger years driving and I am only 40. These days I rarely see

For me the evidence is I have completed side projects I never would have before. I also recently started building a game that I had put off for years. At work I am closing more features than historically and at the end of the day not as fat

I don’t think anyone is blaming but it’s hard to ignore the progress we are seeing and thinks that these workflows will not be the norm in instead of the exception.

I mean we can always wish but I think Thi’s has been the major gripe for a number of years. They could run macOS today in an iPad. Alternatively they could at the very least copy some of the basic workflows in iOS but it’s just different en

Surprising there are not more solutions here. We have seen these style of drones for a number of years. I guess it’s a hard problem in general but I also wonder if part of it is simply the historically entrenched defense industry.

Agree with other reply. I don’t think it’s backward. No they said any commercial activity. Does not feel like a stretch that commercial activity includes reselling api usage.

Just a matter of time and open models will get there. Not once have we seen a moat across the model spectrums.

Or maybe the simple answer is it looks exactly like the referenced game screeps. Probably a better explanation than hand waving away the faults of an agent.

Deranged? My thesis is that many have tried different ways to solve supply and demand issues and usually on average the market solves it best. It’s not perfect, it’s not always the right tool but on average it’s pretty good. If that’s deran

That’s a fair point if you are just shooting from the hip then I can see it happening and being shocked. Still surprising to see the shock here on HN I would expect most to understand why it would not be a viable path.

Can you use less inflammatory language and be more critical in your thought? Your point, if there is any, is drowned by your lack of command of constructive discussion. Who are you to decide what is tangible and what is not? That’s my whole

by infecto 8mo ago
I am not sure what your thesis is here. Would love for you to add something constructive so it’s less hyperbole and more grounded.
682.
by infecto 8mo ago
“Parroting” is not very constructive language but I will respond. How would you propose solving it? My opinion is that government cannot solve the problem better than the market. That’s not to say the market is ideal or perfect but one of t

If you have a consistent example of those solving market supply and demand pricing I am all ears. I read what you said but has little to do with my statement. Over the course of history one of the best mechanisms to solve imbalance is suppl

and what market forces haven’t been sufficient here. Demand went up, price has gone up. Price has been fairly stable since the initial run up. It’s unclear to me why you think who the winners or losers matters. My position is it’s incredibl

I just fail to see your argument. You are paying for Claude code or Antigravity. Not for the raw underlying compute. It’s not about reading T&Cs but the expectation is just because you are paying for a service does not give you the righ

by infecto 8mo ago
Yes, and? That still does not mean we should add arbitrary taxes for a supply/demand issue.
687.
by infecto 8mo ago
Honestly that’s a detail far removed from the discussion. Folks are surprised they cannot use something that would obviously be against the T&Cs.

I think that’s a massive stretch. What we are seeing is a new frontier in tech that nobody knows where it will land yet. Hyperscalers see a future where if they don’t build now that they might be left behind. Absolutely VC money is flowing

Sometimes I wonder where I am when people are so shocked. I genuinely don’t understand who would think this is allowable? Is this simply a younger generation and I am old now? API keys vs the auth tokens smells the same as public vs private

Way to put words in people mouths. Markets are imperfect but I do believe on average they are one of the better tools to solve supply and demand issues. I don’t know who will come out winners but I do agree that China did well taking the pl
