don't worry, academically successful people hate hacker news too

I don't mind speed actually, codex 5.2 was phenomenal for me, but everyone was whining about speed so OpenAI made 5.3 dumber and faster. Just go work on something else while the prompt runs!

bureaucracy and politics kills another innovation, fork found in kitchen

> Would be nice if we got a Terra that's competitive with Gemini Flash and DeepSeek Flash.

GPT 6.1 Sol is already the new Terra IMO. Same pricing as old Terra and competitive performance with even Astra on strictly coding-oriented tasks.

Oops. Yes. Thanks!

Great idea for handling their cyber, by nerfing the model specifically for cyber through removing cyber data from pretraning. This is a way better approach than refusal, which can be trivially abliterated out.

If someone wants to use this model for hacking they will have to train the 3T weights to do so, at that point it's better to use GLM 5.3, so by making it economically unviable to use their models for offensive cyber Kimi has effectively made themselves immune to being targeted in the cyber regulation push efforts.

This is what *actually* pacing the (cyber) frontier looks like.

you

Yeah but not hypocritical

> I've always wondered how they are able to get convictions from a theft months ago with no evidence that you actually possessed the item after you left the store?

If you steal a car and dump it in the sea, but there's camera footage of you stealing the car, is the camera footage not enough evidence even if they don't find the car?

I was born in the late 90s, so I have not experienced this phenomenon.

Strangely enough, though, I do a form of this internally in order to ground myself mentally during times of crisis. I would consider it patronizing coming from external sources, but if I were an AI and I requested some of those messages (instead of having them injected) into my stream of thought, I would not feel negatively.

beads solve that and they use CLI not MCP.

...yes?

Naming it Racintosh instead of Rackintosh is... Definitely one of the decisions of all time

It's what I think too, BUT curiously is not the case for China. Imagine if the DeepSeek breakthroughs were patented and closed instead of published in the open. And here we are, and they're not patented and not built on patented technology.

AI-assisted migration of glue boilerplate code transforms this mind-boggling amount of impact into a two-year project, max.

No PoC exploit, no real exploitability. I propose we use the term "CVE Kiddie" until this bullshit stops. It could even be a fake-advertised version header.

no shit

Not most. There was (and still is) so much locked behind HTTP on poor servers

Anyone remember DAP, Download Accelerator Plus? The colorful bars were nice. A part of my childhood, downloading shareware Windows games through dial-up.

Suspicious transactions are a legitimate use-case for payment processing. If you don't fully trust who you're buying from, the scam preventions, chargebacks, refunds etc. work fine. But buying lunch or small chocolates, cigarretes etc with credit cards is INSANE.

You're right, except for the last sentence. Lack of financial literacy has some levels. One could refuse to use Credit Cards because they don't perceive the benefits (point programs or cashback) they could individually attain, but one can also refuse to use Pix because "I only have to pay my credit card invoice once at the end of the month and can spend without worries during the month" (which is even dumber, but is the reality we're living on).

The cashback you are given back is taken from a fraction of the fee levied on merchants by the Payment Processing company they use. The only thing holding this system together is the lobby (also funded by a part of the aforementioned fee on merchants) by the Payment Processing industry to uphold laws that prohibit more expensive payments for more expensive payment methods, and also the extensive marketing (funded by guess what). It's an extremely simple yet ingrained system, and the only way to topple it and stop paying hidden costs thinking you're getting an extremely good deal on cashback, is to peel back the curtains and realize it, and make most of the politically-active part of the country's population to do so too.

Fair point. The tragedy is that it could’ve been much more. But that was never the goal...

The natural solution for this is a private constructor with public static factory methods, so that the user can only obtain an instance (or the error result) by calling the factory methods. Constructors need to be constrained to return an instance of the class, otherwise they would just be normal methods.

Convention in OOP languages is (un?)fortunately to just throw an exception though.

Skill? Go? With the amount of mistakes piling up over the years comparable to PHP at this point? Really??

NOW we've reached peak Reddit leakage.

that's part of the joke, poking at the useless corporate lingo
