Correct, it looks like they tweaked the model's response to cover for Hoffman. There are many news reports about this, the answers are also very strangely opinionated. You can try the same questions in OpenAI to see something more accu

Terrible source, but I tested it myself and it's true, completely censored and it straight up lies and says Hoffman had no relationship with Epstein. Try it out: https://heypi.com/talk

Indeed, the difference I can see is that the second article mentions Hoffman and the first doesn't reference any HN related people.

This shouldn't be downvoted because it's 100% true. I also wonder why this submission was flagged? At first they just took it off the front page but I guess that was too suspicious so they "flagged" it later. There are p

That's a lot of assumptions to make! Many very successful people smoke weed. I'd also say if you're planning on getting ahead by climbing the corporate ladder and grinding for your boss, you're going to be in for a ver

And again, quarter over quarter comparisons make zero sense.

Quarter to quarter comparisons make absolutely no sense because sales are cyclical, hence why they're comparing to the same quarter last year from which they've demonstrated 400% year-over-year growth.

Again, the article says that BYD is up 400% so they did not lose sales. If you have some data that contradicts the article, you should post it.

That's pretty extreme growth, with a lot of influencer/power user types too. Now with Bluesky and people just abandoning social media altogether, a Twitter implosion seems all but certain.

Yes, the massive growth of Mastodon and Bluesky. This last move of prioritizing blue checkmarks seems like it was the final nail in the coffin, the site has become completely unusable.

This is a really valid point and probably the actual intention of the feature.

To put things in perspective, Whatsapp has 3B users and Twitter has 300M. There is no reach on Twitter.

Musk's extreme lack of credibility aside, why would anyone use Twitter for this when there are already many very popular alternatives that have been around for years?

I said that there is no "talent scarcity" and anyone claiming that there is can count themselves among the rank of bad management. If management can't attract and retain talent, it's by definition bad management.

by wootland 3y ago
This doesn't say much about "talent scarcity", it's more along the lines of how different managerial styles map to different talent "markets". In reality, there is no talent scarcity, there's just poor man

I would say server side logging is one of the many downsides to SaaS based products and makes a great argument for running things locally. Any additional tracking of users exacerbates the problem.
