I can assure this author: strapping a company that lights money on fire (today, maybe not tomorrow) to a cash flow enterprise makes the IPO harder, not easier, in the absence of credible plan. The market speculates, but it’s not being compl

I know people are rightly amazed by Woz’s engineering prowess, but it’s fascinating to see Steve’s fingerprints all of Apple I. Look at the product commitments and they’ll ring a bell: - It’s all in one - Hassle free to set up - Something t

$2.75m??? How does Apple get away with these prices?

Totally agree. Xcode is awful. I’m sure that team has a lot to deal with but they’ve produced since really trash software.

This seems unfair and biased. After all, I’ve never seen a more obviously capable CEO. https://preview.redd.it/sam-altman-on-the-model-v0-7u2a2o7lr...

The article references an “undisciplined” business. I wonder if this is speaking to projects like Sora. Sora is technically impressive and was fun for a moment, but it’s nowhere near the cultural relevance of TikTok, but I believe significa

That seems... responsible? Maybe you meant "great" literally. In that case, I agree. Good job SpaceX.

Amazing response to this situation. Great job, Waymo, for maybe hitting a little kid less than your study assumes a human would have! Is that study legit? Who cares, we trust you! If this had been Tesla, HN would have crashed from all the d

>To put this in perspective, our peer-reviewed model shows that a fully attentive human driver in this same situation would have made contact with the pedestrian at approximately 14 mph. This significant reduction in impact speed and sev

I’m a little sad (nostalgic?) about this decision. Model S is a truly historic vehicle.

You are, of course, exactly right but you will nevertheless be downvoted for the same reasons you allude to.

That’s just nonsense, of course. Almost everything he says happens. It rarely happens on time.

You should probably keep reading. Elon for years has said Tesla is not a car company. He’s also said the “factory is the product.” Tesla also has energy divisions and investments, as well as xAI investments now. Logically given that Model S

While its true that creators often share "extras" in return for support, it's crazy to call the support itself a "digital good." I can only assume they mean it is digitally good for their business.

I guess it’s about priorities and not prowess, but it is shocking/fascinating the things Apple seems really bad at. The Mac is funniest of all. I can’t imagine Tahoe drives an upgrade cycle. I buy a Mac for the hardware. Why not refine

Pay per crawl of StackOverflow wouldn't encourage me to post more on StackOverflow. (Not that I was anyway.) Presumably you'd need to pay content creators, but that seems quite inefficient: 1. I pay OpenAI 2. OpenAI rev shares to

I think that’s fair, totally, but I also think a Skill would be considered a primitive in and of itself by Anthropic. So to me it’s still wrapping an open primitive. Anyway, trade offs.

You’re not locked into a model, but you likely are locked in to a platform. This DX and convenience just shifts within the stack where the lock in occurs. Not criticizing - just a choice people should be conscious of. Another useful questio

This is an article about multi-decade trends but you’re associating recent current events with the behavior. Consider reading the article.

This product barely works. It can't connect to the browser extension and when I share folders for it to access, nothing happens. I love early previews but maybe one more week?

I started with an Apple Lisa. I’ve never enjoyed Apple products less than I do right now. And there were some rough days in the 90s! I switched from a AW Ultra 3 to a Garmin. Considering an S26 because of the semi-matte screen. The Mac, tho

Commercialization may be a net good for open source, in that it helps sustain the project’s investment, but I don’t think that means that you’re somehow entitled to a commercial business just because you contributed something to the communi

I wonder if this is all due to AI, or whether shadcn/ui's popularity (and blocks, and themes, and registry of paid component libraries) has also impacted them. That's my personal go to, and not Tailwind UI paid, and that&#x27

Claude in Chrome is excellent - as is Claude in Excel. I was shocked at how useful the latter is.

Excellent work. Now please partner with a software-focused UI/UX designer. To make a great product it takes a village.

Consider that 4o was not a reasoning model. As the complaint itself states, it's only mirroring the user (in this instance, to tragic effect). So however fascinating and insane you think 4o sounds -- understand the source of that langu

Totally forgot Manus existed. It’s funny they’re so eager to tell us this acquisition means they are a pioneer. Imagine pioneering agentic LLM usage - surely you’d be buying Meta!

This is missing the point. Even at a clipped revenue projection - $500m at $2b is a 4x multiple on revenue. A 4x for an AI cloud+infra play that targets speed and cost? Where do I send the check? If NVIDIA believes it can take this and sca
