I've been on HN for a similar amount of time, and I've seen the same shift in opinion on pg, but my conclusion about why is different. From the mid '00s through early '10s, pg was a much more grounded, down-to-earth pers

It's a bit rich that pg uses Facebook and Airbnb as examples in an article about earning lots of money without cheating. If he truly believes those companies didn't cheat, then I think his definition of "cheat" is far re

Very little has changed with the regime. The next in line stepped up, and it seems like the future will be business as usual. The nuclear bogeyman is the wrong thing to focus on. Sure, we don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, but

> Claiming "agreements are renegotiated and extended" is hypothetical. What's not hypothetical is that, under the deal, they agreed to not enrich until 2030. What's not hypothetical is that Trump abandoned the

Ok, so Trump gave them 13 years of enrichment that they wouldn't otherwise have had. And those 13 years would have been plenty of time to extend or renegotiate that agreement.

Did that 2025 assessment conclude that Iran was building toward a nuclear weapon, or didn't it?

by kelnos 4mo ago
That's naive and simplistic. Your counterparty isn't going to agree to a deal if they get nothing in return. "Stop doing nuclear stuff or else" isn't a deal, it's a demand. And this fiasco proves that the US

You mean the crisis that was entirely manufactured, after our own intelligence agencies said Iran was not building a nuclear weapon?

So basically the US is in a worse position than before the war. Expected, but still dumb and disappointing. (Par for the course for Trump.) And of course all that sweet, sweet reconstruction/redevelopment money is going to go to Trum

This has not been my experience with Opus since Anthropic released the 1M token context window for use under the subscription plans. I routinely push past 500k tokens, even sometimes up to around 800k tokens, and don't see this proble

Same as Anthropic's similar offer, they're only giving 6 months free. This really just feels like a way to get OSS maintainers hooked so they buy subscriptions after the free period is over. If they were really serious about supp

Not sure how that's relevant. Trump does whatever Trump thinks is good for Trump. I'm sure his support of Clinton back then made sense to him, as did shifting far right several years later. If he thinks accepting money from SBF

Yeah I think that's a decent analog (Photoshop & GIMP). We're in a sort of "rapid expansion" phase right now, but unless the tech behind "AI" really evolves, better and better models will be harder to come

by kelnos 4mo ago
Is the issue that training with less compute takes more time? Or is it just not possible? I think a collective using distributed training could tolerate the idea that it takes 10x as long as Anthropic to train a model, or whatever.

Yeah, this part of the article made me sad: > a state university’s property, even if it’s been deemed trash, cannot be transferred to private individuals. What a waste! Sure, allowing something like this could (and probably would) be

Yeah, seriously. I've decided not to try Fable at all, because if it is good, I don't want to get hooked, and then feel tempted to spend extra money for it when Anthropic pulls it from subscription plan access. I'm lucky t

I think a world where people are just automatons who ask AIs to do things for them is a pretty bleak world. Reading, writing, being able to focus on things... these are healthy things that healthy brains do. And I don't think that&#x2

Kubernetes and Go are not moats of any sort; Google doesn't make any money off of them, and they doesn't get them any useful user data like Gmail, Docs, etc. do.
