I have really really liked Astra but my understanding is that Fable 5.1 still has an edge Astra is truly amazing for computer-use or any interactive tasks

Started looking into this after I realized I was hitting usage limits faster than normal. I find these subscriptions so essential to using LLMs for personal projects -- it would be prohibitively expensive otherwise Codex, especially with Lu

comparing LLMs to regex is like the OG dropbox comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 ). I can understand this take 4-5 years ago but I have no idea how that's your position in 2026

Yeah I agree with you. If they made a specific promise to some unlikely case out of their control, then I would expect compensation. Did Amazon make such a promise? They didn't as far as I know. My understanding is they provide specifi

It seems unreasonable to blame Amazon here. The AZ was destroyed. Are they supposed to have missile/drone defense? I'm not going to complain to DoorDash if my order is delayed due to a car crash

That is incredibly disrespectful of them _unless_ they prepared in other ways or are some expert who doesn't really need slides. I don't really know what the right response is, though. Walking out would be seen as way too hostile

Doesn't really work in practice, even among those who can afford it. PERSON 1 Have you heard of Kagi? It’s like Google, but better, and... oh... you have to pay for it. PERSON 2 Why would I pay for something when I can use Google for f

I own 3 of these for my homelab. They work really well w/ Tailscale! They sell some PCIE ones, too.

I’m not sure where you got that from or what your point is

it’s two-fold. Either malicious actors or the AI systems themselves. Hugging Face showed that AI can do serious hacking without really being told to. If a model had its own motivations there could be real damage.

A rather unfair comparison. The whole calculus here is that others are also developing these systems which has led to a race. A much better comparison to the situation is the nuclear weapons arms race.

That’s not entirely true though, right? There have been plenty of bioweapon attacks Ex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway_sarin_attack

You are right that it’s easier to do this via Tor than an LLM. Those are the safeguards…

This is exactly what I was thinking too. How can this be legal in 2-party states?

I could definitely imagine him loving the Air. But I don’t think he’d segment the market; he’d probably get rid of the normal iPhone

It seems like it would be really useful for a frequent traveler/commuter, to be able to watch something on a flight/bus ride. I would definitely consider it if I were in that demographic

Do you think there’s some cabal of executives trying to use more resources so that users are forced buy newer hardware? Or is it more likely that software companies are making a tradeoff based on typical consumer hardware and would rather p

Do you think the improvement in general knowledge, coding, security, math, etc. have been linear or exponential? I would say exponential.

Yeah I really struggle to balance wanting information to be free and not wanting the information on how to make deadly weapons too easy to obtain. At least with books or the internet you had to go through some effort
