What if the question is born out of the insight that his team's software is poorly designed, motivating the desire to get outside input? What if the question is asked by a college student?

Ah, thanks for the pointer! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receiver_operating_character... So, 83% is actually not that great, given that you can achieve 50% by guessing randomly.

What is an "accuracy" of 83%? Do 83% of predicted diabetes cases actually have diabetes? Or did 83% of those who have diabetes get diagnosed as such? It's about precision vs. recall. You can improve one by sacrificing the oth

Seems like your organization is lacking structure and communication. Where I work, the structure is such that most parts of the codebase have a team that is responsible for it and does the vast majority of changes there. If any "outsid

Reposting here, maybe you missed it where I asked first: You mentioned that you got into YC .. what is the road to profitability for your project(s) if everything is open source and local?

I liked the article. But does this count as misleading title? I really expected an article about literal forklifts. Among all the AI craze these days, I was hoping for some real-world hands-on skill insights. The kind of thing hackers often

That's neither random nor O(1). I think everybody reading the link immediately understands what you mean, but I whished this community would use its technical terminology more carefully.

Are you aware of anybody with early access who didn't like GPT-5? Or who isn't a fan of earlier versions? There is obviously a bias when selecting whom to give early access to. I'd love to see counterexamples to that though.

I appreciate your consideration, disagree != downvote. To your point, "free from having to spend money" is exactly it. It's paid for with other things, and I get that some folks don't care. But being more open about this

Not being concerned doesn't make the statement "it's free" more true.

Took me a minute to realize what you meant with "hackers". Quite the irony, given the name of the site we are having this conversation on.

Government officials tend to rarely be strangers. They are under constant public scrutny (rightfully so) and after a decade or two of having built a track record, everybody voting for someone knows what they will be getting.

The issue is not EV vs ICE. It's that things are not built to last or to be easily maintainable / serviceable. A modern car is not just like a smartphone you are sitting inside of, it's a server rack full of stuff. Of course

Then "what floats your boat" is adherence to laws. That's a reasonable take, but other people may value other things. I'd also say that what the people want should eventually trump any written text. Society changes, the
