No one is saying that we should stop looking. Especially not the commenter you replied to. They're saying the tech Midjourney presented isn't _gud_ enough to justify frequent scanning.

It's a plot twist no one expected coming, to say the least.

I believe the current pessimistic atmosphere has very little to do with AI. Sure, only 16% of Americans think AI will have a positive impact. But if you ask if they believe smart phone, social media, metaverse, crypto, etc will have a posit

As I expected, the comment I wanted to 'pre vouch' is dead and flagged now. > I expect it to be voted down. Would you also recommend "pre vouching" for it? I expected your comment is upvoted, as HN community generally

One thing I don't like about Git LFS is that there is no way to delete very old history. It's the 'git spirit' to not allow deleting history, but in the context of LFS it sounds horrible. Especially if you use Github. If

Thank you for providing your perspective. I really hope HN has a 'pre-vouch' button as I know your comment will be flagged in no time, even though it's quite articulated.

First of all, NASA is the main client of SpaceX. They pay SpaceX money. Sabotaging NASA is sabotaging SpaceX. If NASA can (or want to) compete against SpaceX directly it probably wouldn't have fund half the R&D cost of Falcon 9.

> Revenue: $13.07 billion > Cost of Revenue: $7.5 billion It's almost too good to be true. Did OpenAI intentionally leak this? It singlehanded eliminate the biggest concern: that tokens are sold at loss.

After reading Financial Times and Ed Zitron's articles[0][1], I've reached the opposite conclusion. OpenAI's situation healthier than what the outsiders once believed: > Revenue: $13.07 billion > Cost of Revenue: $7.5 b

> Same goes for almost every other hyper-growth company in the history of tech Except it's not true. No one lost $38.5B in a year just to 'hyper-grow' or whatever it means. Uber accumulated ~$30B loss over a decade . Edit

Honestly I've found even Gemini Flash is better than Wolfram assistant... But that's fine. Mathematica client supports openrouter as LLM provider anyway so we can use whatever we want.

You can call Zuck evil or greedy. But being bad at running a business surely isn't one of his traits. Meta's net earning grew so much in the past decade that it, ironically, has the sanest P/E ratio trend out of all big US te

Self-help industry is something that literally can't die. It's in the same category as astrology and technical analysis.

> The share buttons got clicked 14,078 times. That’s a 0.21% usage rate, which works out to about 1 in 476 visitors. In other words, people not only click share buttons, but do it quite often?

Off topic: Perhaps it's just me, but I have a pet peeve about emojis in anything formal. Even before LLMs, I instinctively took a repo less seriously when README.md had emojis in every section. And now LLMs have popularized that style,

It's not completely unrelated to Steam though. The malicious code is delivered by Steam Workshops. It might or might not be justified to put 'Steam' on the title, but it's par on HN standards (people always put 'npm

I never understood why Joel Spolsky stopped blogging. His reason was basically (paraphrasing) that his business grew too big and mature for him to keep writing. It sounded nonsense to me by the time. And now comparing PG's writing toda

I think OpenAI ruined the trust. How do you know this 'open source AI lab' won't somehow spin off a for-profit?

The logical conclusion is that the US administration has decided to run the country like a robber baron and is demanding bribes from AI companies. The only question is whether EU and China can effectively attract American researchers.

I didn't blame anyone? I judge whether an article / repo is AI-generated by vibe too. Vibe/intuition is the essential part of our daily lives. It's the #1 think you ask yourself in an interview.

It's quite a crazy take. A high school classmate of mine has a band. It's their hobby and they all have jobs in they day. But their album is still monetized on the Spotify local equivalent. If I told him that it "irks" m
