i noticed a thing with headlines like these: "x may cause y". Whenever it's "may" or "might", it's almost always meaningless

This is great! I disagree with some of the commenters here that the originals sound better. The originals sound very much like demos, and from a producer's perspective are very low quality (no offense). They're definitely more raw

I don't think that's true anymore

Where are you getting that from, that they're ok with CSAM? I think they've been clear that they want to follow the law. Every image gen provider struggles with this. I worked for an image gen app years before it became popular (W

>The best feature is that it can delegate questions out to GPT-5.5 in the background, so you're no longer restricted to a voice model that's several years behind the frontier. Ahh, this makes sense. I was wondering when they wo

I've been building multiple products with LLMs, and they are in fact interchangeable for the most part. In fact, most benchmarks show this! Most benchmarks have similar performance for the same classes of models. On top of this, there

Enterprises switched from openai to anthropic this year - anthropic overtook openai for the first time. I don't see why they wouldn't switch again. There's barely any moat. All the data is with connectors, memory is near usel

It really depends on what you're doing, but most LLM usage and agentic runs are pretty interchangeable in my experience, and it's usually trivial to switch. If anything, you're better off supporting multiple LLMs as backup be

not true. multimodality is still far from being solved

I agree - and I'm also confused why other's haven't simply copied every feature. It really doesn't seem that complicated.

nah, i distinctly remember family road trips as a kid. Driving was super stressful with my mom yelling about missing an exit as she reads the map, getting lost in a not so nice neighborhood, etc. you're romanticizing the past

Oh wow, this is great!

but would the scale stay the same? Take a hotel for example - it's nice to have a butler, someone at the front desk, and a waiter, perhaps. But you don't need the cleaning crew, the kitchen staff, etc, that run behind the scenes.

I mean, yeah, but it's not like it's done in a deceiving way. Nobody forces anybody to be a first hire

So how much should they be rewarded? You suggest a cap? What prevents someone that's more poor than you deciding that you nobody needs to make more money than them, so now you should make less money?

by peab 4mo ago
no, it's not. It's math. If you make a rule that you lower the person at the top of the pile, over time, there will be nobody left to lower - everybody will be at the top of the pile. The fact people say 1 billion is too much mone

yeah, but lot's of bad parents exist. Which is why there are laws around kids having to be in school, etc. Maybe fine the parents if the kids get caught. Teaches them to teach their children better.

His money is tied to his equity. The equity itself is created by typing a number into a computer - it's not taken from anybody. The equity represents the value that the company has created

I don't understand why people argue for a limit on wealth - the line of reasoning, when reasoned out, concludes with a majority of people having the exact same amount of wealth. How so? Well, suppose we say, nobody should be a trillion

This sort of comment does not belong on hacker news.

They are rewarded, yeah. And then they could retire, or they could take that money and put it towards more good ideas, like what Elon has done his entire life. If we don't have a system for that, then how would you incentivize people t

Interesting that Canada is trying to do the same thing. Seems suspiciously similar. The idea that this is about surveillance is also interesting. I think it's important we ask: could we invoke this ban without surveillance? - identity
