Claude Opus and Fable are so bad compared to GPT-5.6-Sol it's ridiculous, their desktop client is worse, and the value is worse because OpenAI has been spamming discounts. They better get their shit together at Anthropic! Edit: If you&

Like 1/3 of HN posts are people complaining or crashing out about AI, and so are all the comments.

Basic media numeracy will tell you that because the population is increasing and inflation exists this number is not meaningful. It sounds like it's describing "the problem with credit card debt is worse than ever" but this n

I can see why you might think that, but that is not what this article claims or what Sony said. The CFO said this in 2021: “But the profitability of PS5 in -- there was this view of reaching breakeven point in June, but PS5 breakeven point

This is a conversation about Sony, not Nintendo. As far as I can tell from current data, Sony is still subsidizing PlayStation consoles overall.

by wilg 2mo ago
As far as I can tell, despite Sony saying they would like the consoles to be profitable, they are still subsidized as of right now in aggregate. Perhaps some models are more profitable than others.

I can only respond to what you actually said which was "Sony doesn’t actually make the games" and "they don’t have the kitchen nor the cooks".

by wilg 2mo ago
The large upfront cost is lower than it would be because its subsidized by buying the games for it! Sony does make the games, they have many excellent first party studios! What are you talking about!

"Stop Killing Games" is pure gamer slopulism. This idea is even sillier and more pointless than the last couple. There is a ton of competition in the games industry for games, platforms, hardware, etc.

It's truly a terrible UX decision that Apple's left in place because of apathy. (And presumably thinking someone wants to install software through the Mac App Store!?) They should offer a first-class way of "installing downlo

I'm sure you can imagine why it might be unnecessarily complicated for a Waymo to take cash.

The terminal? No way, the normal Claude or ChatGPT desktop app.

Well, I don't think any of these things are legally required, so call it whatever you want.

This seems an awful lot like confirmation bias. Web browsers are themselves extremely complicated. Also, this doesn't address why the rate increased, which is the interesting part!

It's wild ChatGPT doesn't let you use MCP properly (only really works without a useless developer mode thing in Codex, and Claude it works fine).

I max out Claude Code and Codex subs both every week without fail and I’m doing a lot of work but it’s not insane.

Making things up is only really a common issue on the non-thinking models which nobody should be using. The regular chatbots are Autogooglers and are very useful for research. This is just not a good argument anymore. Edit: Guys, why are we

There's no law saying you can't start a non-profit healthcare provider or insurance company. Why not do it?
