   Great work! If I open your program in ResEdit, will I uncover a hidden Dogcow?

   I don't know that it should be illegal. I think the argument would be that it's deceptive. DoorDash, for some customers, claims there is no service fee - it's "free." What they're really saying is: the service

   Going back to the Air's screen from your Pro will be a steep fall.

   Actually you made me think of a fun scenario. A robot, who I will name Robort, over time becomes, say, 1/10th the price of human labor. But they do 10x the work quality and work 10x longer. In that scenario, you could pay them the same

   All of “circular” those bets only work if there are real purchase orders and real revenue. In fact the two major deals are literally tied to that. So it doesn’t answer my question. Real GPUs are bought. Presumably because real consumption i

   So, okay, that’s interesting. Let’s play it out. Unilever buys a Facebook ad in hopes a robot will buy a razor and shave? And even if a robot needed to shave, what reason would a company have to pay it a wage where before it was only a cape

   And how is UBI funded? Higher corporate taxes on (over time, as gross margins improve from inference cost deductions) more profitable companies? Or rather than higher taxes, more money printing because inflation is just so incredibly low be

    Without moralizing or assuming the worst intentions of oligarchs, globalists, evil capitalists, and so on, I still don’t understand how a consumption based economy continues to fund the build out (oil->Saudi Arabia->LPs->OpenAI) wh

    For the same reason everyone's fine with an Epic tax down the road. It costs you nothing today.

    This is nonsense. Why would they destroy the incentive to get real-time, live data and MCP actions that help their users? Connecting these apps will, at times, require authentication. Where it does not require payment, it's a fantastic

    100%. I’m not comfortable sharing likeness of myself publicly. I send goofy stuff to friends. That was day 1, at least. Day 2+ I haven’t used the app again.

    I’ve never heard of this in my life. Isn’t tinker a verb meaning to fiddle or edit or modify in small increments? That seems like the perfect name given what the software they’re present. In any case I guess this is back to the debate: does

    I think the deeper problem is the quality of the source, less so than the curation of the sources.

    Doesn’t prompt pricing obfuscate token costs by definition? I guess the alternative is everyone pays $500/mo. (And you’d still get more value than that.)

    If that were the case, wouldn’t we see vaccine skepticism in poorly educated, racist non-Western nations?

    Very foolish of them not to leverage SoftwareFPU. And with minimal effort Performas are rackable.

    Somehow saying AI is a hype train, not liking smart phones, and putting mobile revolution "in quotes" all seem of one coherent piece together. I can take the point that some AI features are oversold or under-considered, but sugges

    Really excited about these types of products. Would never trust anything with Meta, but I appreciate them trying to contribute a product. Unfortunately, it’s a dead end. Mark’s always regretted missing mobile - and thus being the app rather

    This. I’ve been on HN for a while. I am barely hanging on to this community. It is near constant negativity and the questioning of every potential motive. Skepticism is healthy. Cynicism is exhausting. Thank you for posting this.

    I'm concerned about HN database storage capacity, so here's a simple way to think about this. If you're interested, consider buying it. If it's not for you, no need to argue a whole lot. Plenty of other topics worthy of

    Agree. Even the web client itself is very buggy. I've almost completely stopped using anything Anthropic makes at this point. GPT-5 had a rocky start, but I think overall it's stellar, has the most features, and the client is very

    Not to the same degree, but I'd argue HN has the same tendencies. Cynical, skeptical, assuming the worst intentions, a bogeyman tech giant hoping to destroy its own customers. Skepticism is, of course, healthy, but the default behavior
