My mistake, in fact it was google not OpenAI, makes sense OpenAI doesn't.
They all rent compute from SpaceXAI
Cool, thanks for working on accessibility.

Great minds...

This is hardly surprising given - New partnerships with tech companies support Wikipedia’s sustainability. Which relies on Human content.

Thankyou
This should make you think..
Re:AI Coding Assistants Are Getting Worse on Thursday January 08, 2026 @10:58AM (#46542502)
I think as the article mentions garbage in garbage Out, we are more trusting and expect more. Coding assistants don't just need a good model, they need a good harness, these methods have also changed recently.

Not seeing this in my day to day, in fact the opposite.
Re:Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team on Thursday January 08, 2026 @04:27AM (#46539055)
I nearly always use Tailwind, had no idea there was even a Plus offering. Checking the site I see it now but it’s a subtle link. Also wonder if shad/cn had something to do with the reduced usage of plus.

Looks like a pretty useful offering, 128Gb Memory Unified, with the ability to be chained. IN the Uk release price looks to be £2999.99 Nice to see AI Inference becoming available to us all, rather than using a GPU ..3090etc.

I am very much pro AI and use it daily for everything from code to product photos, and games. But I feel these moments are one of the few you actually want to keep AI away from. Imagine looking back in hopefully 50years at an AI image.
There are plenty of slag heaps (spoil tips) near coal plants, wonder how it could work with those? I guess the specific heat capacity is greater..
This type of plant is generally used for emergency power to balance the grid, whilst other plant come online.

Really like the idea of this, and good timing for me. Will give this a try over the weekend.

Have a soft spot for digg
Best thing I have seen on HN in ages. Also interesting for a CNC geek.

Re:N8n vs. node-red, which to use for AI workloads on Thursday July 17, 2025 @09:42AM (#44593314)
Thankyou for the reminder, long term Node-RED user here, I recently looked again at n8n and wondered why I never took it to far, this is the reason. When you see a git icon and repo it's easy missed.
Re:Show HN: Ego – A PaaS API for stateful AI personas on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @04:38PM (#44514519)
System Prompt aside and not that critical today, however you look at it you are stuffing context. MCP is good at that and it works in most AI‘s.
Re:Show HN: Ego – A PaaS API for stateful AI personas on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @09:50AM (#44510040)
Say what you will about it. MCP surely has to be your primary interface?
When a competitor buys you this happens. There are plenty of exceptions, however.
Love them, and your style. I will likely buy these.
