I d like to hear more about people who have jumped onto large codebases and were instantly productive. I see a lot of emphasis on documentation and comments, but in my experience they get stale real fast.

Just uninstalled the app and canceled subscription. OpenAI can't justify their insane valuation without an user base. Especially when there are capable models elsewhere.

People exist to prop up massive shareholder value and justify insane capex.

Right. How many people actually want a remotely monitored robot collecting personal data, that will likely also require a hefty monthly subscription?

I think it proves that you could have valid criticisms about the viability of the product but markets are often irrational. Bitcoin is probably the most blatant example, a product which has close to zero utility but is currently has a marke

I have seen this post before. I don't know what exactly they do, but that's an extraordinary list of products to be managing. I hope they are making enough revenue to cover those outrageous costs.

That's not how you do charity. Let me mansplain how it's done.

This is exactly the kind of AI innovation I d expect from Meta. Profiting of teenage girl insecurities was just not doing it anymore.

My personal experience with using Slack as just a in-company chat app has been fine. I enjoy using Slack more than Teams or Discord. All their integrations kinda suck though, and its not uncommon for integrations to randomly break with no d

Its a solid success if you squint just at the adoption numbers they achieved by cross selling it.

It seems like agentic (or atleast AI-assisted coding) is the future. And we will be increasingly relying on these models to earn our livelihood. Is anyone else worried at how easily Anthropic/Google/OpenAI can basically cut you of

Looks like they logged in the first time in years to make a post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46975123 And decided to jump in on some threads just as well.

Yeah I think the meritocracy pushed by America is at least in part responsible for this. Social validation for being a high-performing employee is much greater, than for being a member of the community.

"You don't understand everything, ergo you should build more things you don't understand and be okay with it." This is a bad take.

They are starting to sound less like a frontier AI lab, and more like a consultancy staffed with AI agents.

Saas companies will survive for the same reason they do today. The operational overhead of any sufficiently complicated piece of software is too much, even more so if it's vibe coded.

Most of us are very well aware of Tesla's shortcomings with FSD and inflated valuations. But electrek's reporting is biased and in bad faith when it comes to Tesla/Musk.

I can never understand why it is so eager to generate walls of text. I have instructions to always keep the response precise and to the point. It almost seem like it wants to overwhelm you, so you give up and do your own research.

I guess I am in the minority but I really liked the dash cart. Apart from the occasional niggle, it worked as advertised once I understood the system. I get my own bags to the store, so I can directly bag items as I go and just walk out whe

She's an opportunist. For someone like her to be nationally relevant they have to latch onto MAGA and embrace the crazy. See MTG, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz.

I think author is basing his observations on where the money is flowing. PostgreSQL adjacent startups and businesses are seeing a lot of investment.

I am no big fan of Tesla, but Electrek has a clear bias in their reporting.

I don't know how much they are spending to be fair. I am basing my observation on the noises they are making. They did put out a model called Nova but they are not drumming it up at all. The model page makes no claims of benchmarks or

I personally prefer being explicit in this case. Seeing the word INNER triggers the right way to visualize the query in my head.

I get the feeling Amazon wants to be the shovel seller for the AI rush than be a frontier model lab. There is no moat in being a frontier model developer. A week, month, or a year later there will be a open source alternative which is about

Agreed on all points. I don't view these apps as net negative for a country like India which is helped immensely by digitization. My comment was just pointing out that governments have a way to get you install the app if they really ne

They ll make it mandatory to access critical services at a later point. Tax payments, utility enrollments stuff like that. That is how they ramped up enrollment in Aadhaar UID.
