ole Zuck just buying what he wants - for any price, cause that is what the richest in the world can do? Also using the market cap / paper valuation isn't aligned with 'actual value' imo.
I've always found it absurdly awkward to give companies personhood AND have them unable to be put into prison. I prefer how director level in EU seems to have some big responsibility.
I'd like to nominate, Amazon marketplace, Amazon Ads and AWS to be separate as well please. ;)

I would say he isn't what he once was, age will get us all. However 'has no taste anymore' is too far the other way AND 'tasteless boomer' is in itself a tasteless comment.
There are just a few reasons - humanoid make sense, mostly for multi purpose tasks - where if you want a robot to be multi-job, do almost everything a human can do at work --

If you want a weld you need a 1 arm robot, if a robot to weld, then stack, then push parts on a cart across the factory - then sweep up, then etc.. etc.. perhaps a humanoid is alright.

There will definitely be too many people comfortable with ownership / master relationship with a humanoid robot that will do their bidding.

Re:SpaceX Is Buying Cursor on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @09:25AM (#48554953)
I use Cursor, but funny enough it's 98% just using the codex plugin - I kept cursor around on the grand fathered $20 / 500 requests plan, if they un-grandfather me or things change too much I'll zip over to vscode.
The fact senators have been able to stay in the senate for 20+ years, means they are probably making plenty of money. We need another round of FBI bribe stings to clean things up
we have a really large version, in our factory for 20+ years - its a game changer for the folks who do the real work around here.

I was going the other way, it wasn't obvious enough that it was going to be a horizontal scroll or how to do it. Vertical spacing felt off and the 'defining game' card at the bottom of the video card is nice information but displayed in a distracting manner.
Re:Developers can now submit apps to ChatGPT on Wednesday December 17, 2025 @07:05PM (#46307349)
won't they just eventually have a 'log in with OpenAI' button similar to a 'login with Google' button?

Maybe a 'connect with OpenAI' button so the service can charge a fee, while allowing a bring your own token type hybrid.

Re:What AI Is Really For on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @03:56PM (#45985054)
I think chatGPT itself is an epic product, Cursor has insane growth and usage. I also think they are both over-hyped, have too much a valuation.

I've been reporting fake tesla and space x accounts so often on youtube - that I eventually wrote a script to copy and past into the report.

Most of the time they do get removed - sometimes successfully before the QRcode is displayed. They even bot the streams so it appears like 30-40k people are watching creating 'social proof'

I meant free and without signup like a google search.
Re:The new Bing runs on OpenAI’s GPT-4 on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @05:06PM (#35158621)
Are there any websites where I can just visit a URL and talk with some ChapGPT? ..

Tired of seeing all the bing / bard / etc headlines and clicking only to find out I can join a waitlist.

If this is a google killer - the interface should be as easy as the google search box on google.com

Re:HoloKit relaunched, $129 AR Headset accessory for iPhone on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @10:13PM (#34348705)
I'll say for $129 it looks better than magic leap, unless they faked it too.

+1 for namecheap as a registrar replacement - their chat support is the only chat support I've ever had actually fix an issue.
ChatGPT is already 10x more useful than crypto and NFTS. The foundational value of ChapGPT is not based on speculation or selling it to the 'next fool'.

In Oklahoma and with tax payer dollars? yes.
Re:America’s School Districts Are Too Big on Friday December 02, 2022 @06:12AM (#33829054)
Salary available for those who actually teach.
Re:America’s School Districts Are Too Big on Thursday December 01, 2022 @09:15PM (#33825875)
Too many high paid super intendents who have very little impact education. At least in Oklahoma. Yukon, Piedmont and Atoka (smallish towns) have SIs making 180k which is absurd salary for this state.

Re:Show HN: Trading cards made with e-ink displays on Tuesday November 29, 2022 @10:08PM (#33796537)
Honestly 2 of these per person and 5 for the turn,flop,river - and we have a texas holdem game without cards and shuffling - just chips...

so a 6 person game, 12 of these + 5 ~ 17 of these ~ $450 ~ about the cost of real nice chips and cards...

2nd behind Android if we're counting mobile OS's. But still ahead of computer/laptop/desktop OS's.

Honestly I still feel they forced the success by removing the headphone jack. I know the market is 'proving me wrong' but a market without a choice isn't purely voting with their dollars but voting with a single option.
Re:Casio F91 smart watch reboot on Thursday July 21, 2022 @09:59PM (#32187588)
This is the barebones Android smart watch I want. As a side note why won't apple make it's watch work well with android - wouldn't that add a few million users? ~ or do they sell it as a loss leader for IOS?

I want a future where we have bare-metal versions of smart watches with low power screens, thin form factor and long battery life compete with full feature dick tracy phone watches.

Your paying for the right to live there. What the money you pay is used for is none of your business.

I find it a lot healthier to not worry about the money after I spend it, it's no longer mine for I have agreed to trade it away.
