No one can prove the CEO did anything, but whatever it was it was worth 500x as much as the average employee.

This is so cool! I also tried replicating Incredibots during the pandemic, but abandoned it in favor of 3d stuff. I remember every day as a kid logging on to find new vehicles, challenges, rube-goldberg machines. Some content archives are s

When supply and demand moves prices up, it's the invisible hand of the market. When it moves prices down, it's your individual fault and you should consider paying suppliers reparations.

Well it did end up getting flagged and removed. So wherever you think "the line" is for acceptable Nazi apologia on this website is misplaced; tread carefully.

"As high as possible" is a function of scale though. There is only so much global demand for memory at a given price point. If CXMT determine that by increasing supply they can increase profit even if it lowers prices, then they w

Oh, maybe we're mixing terms here. OP was proposing CXMT as a "solution" to the problem of these companies engaging in price fixing. Now you're saying there needs to be a "solution" to the problem of these comp

I'm not paying to use HN. I'm jaded and opposed to techno-optimism, so if anything by just expressing my honest opinions here I'm wearing away at those startups' power by challenging their most critical base of supporter

How is this not flagged??

A "free speech" HN is just HN. It would end up with the same cryptic way of describing replacement theory, because it's not for the purpose of evading censors. It's for the purpose of cosplaying having "dangerous op

Price match creates downward pressure, nobody is gonna sue over lower prices. This is like if you showed a supermarket that their competitor's oranges were more expensive, and they "matched" by raising their prices for everyo

Prices skyrocketing create a perfect opportunity to slip in a little artificial bump and hope everyone blames the market. See also: egg prices in 2024.

I'm astoundingly unimpressed by the quality of this slide deck. There's no analysis except that crammed into slide titles, like it's designed to bombard a room full of analysts with so many graphs that they shut off their cri

The US didn't go from #1 in global auto manufacturing to nearing extinction on accident. The companies shifted production abroad because they didn't want to pay for US labor. We can't just pray for "development" to

Well, people who build and/or use LLMs know this. People who tweet about and/or sell LLMs are paid ungodly amounts of money to not understand this, and so they don't.

I was gonna say, anyone who's copy-pasted one LLM conversation into another already intuitively understands all this.

I feel like with less than 1000 bytes the situations where you wouldn't want to directly manage every byte are quite rare. What is your project?

It's not only slop, it's low-effort slop. How does you post a link including "in the Browser", but actually running it requires some vague pointers about spinning up docker on a remote x86 linux machine?

Between this, the Daylight computer (I know it's RLCD), and some of the flagship Boox devices, I'm very excited for where alternative display technology is going in the next couple years. Displays that you can use outside and that

Fellow software engineers aren't incentivized to destroy their company's reputation in the same way that boards of directors have proven to be time and time again.

This is unhinged, I love it! Just a flat hierarchy of like a hundred ts files. It see some mixamo references. How are you playing animations? Is it optimized in any way for that many characters?

Didn't they explicitly say the ads wouldn't be made aware of prompt data when they announced them? And if so, how is that not securities fraud?
