I would just love to hear your definition of that word.

The scale of the numbers is exceptional, but the shape is pretty typical for a high-growth, scale startup with a big TAM where a winner can take most. And compute, supply constrained as it is for the foreseeable future, is absolutely a moat

That’s not how that works.

This was a fantastically smart deal for both sides.

AI works by responding to prompts. So if you’re dissatisfied with what it produces, consider a critique of its user.

Only on HN can you get content like this. What a community.

If this is true, the Trump administration did the correct and responsible thing. All the immediate pouncing last night is a good reminder to wait a moment for the facts. I’m sure there’s more to learn even still.

Quick, someone start open data center and open energy system and open water supply.

Gosh I sure hope OpenAI had nothing to do with this. That would be awfully surprising.

The EU is only interested in interoperability and centralization of data so they can put their citizens under surveillance. I hope Apple continues to exit this market on the edges.

Which is great because the parent comment provides a precise timeline.

Elon is controversial, and I know the popular mood is to dunk on this IPO, but in the end he gets a lot right. I think it's very likely the Tesla deal happens, and I further thing that regardless what Google and Anthropic do long-term

>However, we assign this scenario, in which both Starship is reusable and scaled orbital data centers are highly successful, a 7% chance of happening I may agree with their overall sentiment, but I think this sort of formulation is just

This is all just the typical Elon hate. What's desperate about getting paid $920,000,000 per month? If that's desperation, I'd love to start groveling more! Given extreme supply constraints, it's very unlikely that Googl

The shame of this is that even if you as a consumer choose not to buy them, others will. And while anyone can take a photo of you in public, you’ll have glasses taking pictures of you and transferring your identity and location to Meta serv

NYTimes is not unique, but yes, they are a for-profit entity focused on audience building and audience retention. Their audience tends to be liberal leaning types, and so their aim is to produce content for that audience. This particular ex

Please share that conversation you reference where the community said Elixir doesn’t need types because it is magic.

You're delusional. Anthropic's success is not only the model - it's the harness. I'd absolutely be able to tell the difference between Claude Code and, say, Gemini CLI.

That rocket appears to have crashed into an open plain. It was a village?

Capitalists moralize a lot about people becoming “lazy” or not having “direction” if society subsidizes not working - and yet their entire mission is centered around deploying money, letting money “work.” If capital is doing the work, why o

Gross. They’ll use your product and your data to later sell a product back to you.

Whoa. This is hideous.

I once was the final step in an interview process. My flag to the team was that this person had been laid off something like four times in a row. I said, layoffs don’t cut the great people, so it says something about the applicant. The team

Anthropic is gross for this. The grandstanding about principles and values is intolerable.

The back and forth in this discussion reveals to me we are sorting through a kind of philosophical debate about intelligence. That alone tells me LLMs are doing something novel.

I also wonder if it’s just harder to rule a much larger population in the modern world than in those times. Any jackass can show up and say that he was chosen to lead by some higher power. But you must still convince enough people that that

I'm sure this all has to do with lawyers making as much money as possible — but if that's a potential standing or statute question, why not have a jury settle that question first, before the trial starts? Or to have a narrower pro
