i had to specifically tell fable not to use a bunch of subagents in order to preserve my token allowance.

The point is that there's a difference in these models and everyone is looking for where the differences are. stop being an arse.

I've been making an auction site and have been using an AI swarm to test it: sellers, intermediaries, buyers, market practices/norms etc. I was mostly using GPT 5.5 xhigh to code up the scenario, and looping over it to check with

I would say it’s regulatory capture. Some others would call it incompetence. Probably both in the UK

Ticketmaster is a monopoly. Customers paying the price would: 1) induce scrutiny from the public on visa a Mastercard (the monopolies) 2) encourage the competitive market amongst issuers to compress prices

Except your prices would have to be higher. Costco works on <0.5% margin, whilst these card fees are 1,2,3%+

That’s exactly the system the card companies try to impose on vendors (mostly successfully). In the UK it’s the system the law imposes on everyone.

The solution to all these expenses is to just have the user pay the transaction costs. Then everyone will start using bank transfers.

interesting question, and i used the AI for help on this one: $ value of equity purchased in indices: - total market cap of those 3: $3.6tn - index inclusion weights is based on free float, not full market cap - free floats ~5% => 5% * 3

Companies rush to IPO because they think the price they are selling at is so high that it outweighs the painful nature of being a public company.

I spent a few weeks making this - it would be great to get some feedback on v1. The versions of this that I have seen elsewhere are extremely unsatisfactory and this sort of problem just lends itself to being solved with AI.

Anthropic killing headless usage in their plans on June 15th pushed me to codex. I heard there’s a tmux work around though.

For those of you that use deepseek v4 occasionally, what harness do you use it with? I’m only familiar with claude code and codex. Any comments on what you can or cannot rely on it for relative to cc and codex would be appreciated too!

This will be interesting. I can see some world where it’s used with consumers, but for the most part I think it will be in the cloud and that would make most sense

is this true because training companies have not been training AI for both performance and brevity (or some other metric like that)? If this becomes a much more serious issue surely they would adjust the training processes

Isn't it true that the more people that sign this petition serves to increase the case for the NYT to not be allowing access to archive.org (as many have said - most people only care because it allows them to circumvent paywalls)?

No blackout for a year: nothing to see here. People didn’t do what they said they’d do: No problem with the system it’s the people that didn’t do what they said they would do.

The main issue in this market is that the consumer doesn’t pay the cost of the transaction, therefore there is no pressure to reduce costs, and hence no innovation. All of this could be solved if a government regulated that consumers must p

Increased forces from similar speeds but with more weight in cornering wears down tires more in electric cars. Less so the torque myths

Except they are fundamentally different companies now. Now they have no free cash flow and they are extremely capital intensive industrial businesses. Another note is that this is on forward earnings. What may have just happened is analyst

I think q1 is a weak quarter for sales so it might be that inventory build is normal in this quarter. Economic weakness and high energy prices will not help sales though.

It would start economical and then some side would eventually resort to the meat grinder.

I wonder whether what is really behind this is that they can’t make a model without the safeguards because it would require re-training? They get to look good by claiming it’s an ethical stance.

If you’re running at 17k tokens / s what is the point of multiple agents?

So if we assume this is the future, the useful life of many semiconductors will fall substantially. What part of the semiconductor supply chain would have pricing power in a world of producing many more different designs? Perhaps mask manuf

It will be validated but that doesn’t mean that the providers of these services will be making money. It’s about the demand at a profitable price. The uncontroversial part is that the demand exists at an unprofitable price.

good comment, but of course it's downvoted on hackernews

It’s not clear at all because model training upfront costs and how you depreciate them are big unknowns, even for deprecated models. See my last comment for a bit more detail.

I think actually working out whether they are losing money is extremely difficult for current models but you can look backwards. The big uncertainties are: 1) how do you depreciate a new model? What is its useful life? (Only know this once
