A beautiful reminder of what's possible with photography when you're using more than a comparatively crappy iPhone Pro Max camera. (Oh and taking the shot from Outer Space.)

This is so much better than their actual website.

I’m so glad they lifted off safely. I hope they re-enter safely too.

It’s written in typescript, not PHP. How does this improve security if no one uses it because they’ve invested so much in the WP plugin ecosystem?

Correction: no one can afford to acquire them.

You fail to mention the prior decades of really bad software engineers writing awful code -- off of which these models trained.

Apple actually had the nerve to make it a point to say they’d made their keyboard intelligence better. What a joke. Can’t keyboard, my ass!

I can assure you OpenAI and Anthropic pay for hardware. They don’t receive it for free.

Fortunately, this won't happen. Trump is a populist. The war will end simply because the repercussions are far too great. And even though Israel would like to see the deaths of others continue indefinitely, they are still too small and

Smart move. No clear path to growing meaningful revenue mixed with very expensive inference costs is not a good mix ahead of an IPO --- oh and not to mention competitors in TikTok and Instagram that are doing just fine.

This happening and it can’t be stopped. There is bipartisan consensus, so hard to come by otherwise, because both parties share the same corporate interests. Deal with it.

What nonsense. Does it count as a “clapback” when the CEO responds sensibly and takes responsibility? This is just pointless snark.

Between this and the Apple Vision Pro, does Apple just have one dude in their testing labs with a really really powerful neck? What is Neck Guy’s name and when did he join? Does Neck Guy work in Cupertino or is he contracted?

You're joking, right? There are many high quality competitors in that price range. I'm holding a pair (Sennheiser HDB 630). They are significantly lighter weight, better comfort and sound quality.

Everyone here seems focused on bots, as does the author of the post. The bigger problem (as also stated in the latter half of the post) is straight-forward: there product wasn't very good. Who is asking for digg to return, save for a v

For those following closely, I highly recommend Dropsite News and Breaking Points. Excellent coverage.

Uh no, not at all. First of all, America is a Republic. Republics with capitalist economies express power through property ownership, not simply voting. I’m actually arguing ownership is more powerful than even a vote, though you’d certainl

Mission statements and blog posts are meaningless. Cap tables steer behavior and simultaneously protect interests. Stop forming unions or opining on Hacker News. We need to find a way to get citizens on the cap table in a meaningful way (an

Whatever happened to this all powerful non profit that would ensure OAI is doing right? Something tells me they just cashed in and run a corrupt shell at this point.

Good for Caitlin. Sam Altman is awful. He literally admitted on Twitter that they rushed their military contract to get it done. Are you kidding me? You rushed your military contract? Any employee who stays, especially given the financial c

The internal memo did read as fairly unhinged and political, which is not the message Dario likes to present. I'm glad he addressed this. It was unprofessional and unhelpful - even if Sam Altman is, in fact, a disgusting lunatic.

Don't worry, the non-profit should be stepping in at any moment to help fix things up.

OpenAI employees lol. You’ve lost utterly and completely. Even if you, as an individual, are a good person.

So nice of him! I am sure he believes they should offer these terms to all competitors. HN: if you continue to subscribe to OpenAI, if you use it at your startup, you’re no better than the tech bros you often criticize. This is not surprisi

I canceled my subscription, wiped my history, closed my account, deleted the app. Using Claude Max.

Hey dang I know I’m not allowed to say this due to community guidelines, but Sam Altman is a lying sack of shit.

by mrcwinn 8mo ago
I see comments like this all the time on HN, including between community members. Why are you showing up now? Altman may be former YC and friends with Paul Graham, but he’s nevertheless a public figure and does plenty to deserve ridicule. A

This is only because Altman knew he’d already lost this business to Musk.
