> bannable by a central institution with lower legal oversight than the Fed

It’s way easier to take a company to court than any government entity.

I saw a post on X saying Google changed the ad auction pricing model, but I don’t know much about this to comment if it’s accurate.

What does that have to do with what parent is referring to?

When families had 3+ kids on average the younger kids would go with the older kids. Now you’re looking at <2 kids on average that doesn’t work.

You’re mistaking your preferences for the majority’s preferences. Huge chunk of humanity now chooses to experience in-person events recording it through their phones.

Because I pay $60 per month and not using the included API tokens on other models is wasteful.

There are some things you cannot easily come back from - or at all - later in life eg poor health decisions, bad finances, not having children.

Early 40s here. I really wish I had started weightlifting 20 years ago.

The whole story makes no sense.

How do they perform evals without a full reasoning trace of how the result was achieved?

And if they have a full trace why did it take so long to detect the bad behavior?

I understand that they disabled the safety nets during testing but what does that have to do with not monitoring the activity.

The fact that companies with access to SOTA non-public AI keep having these kinds of dumb bugs in something as simple as a chat app helps validate my disbelief of people claiming AI is ready to replace all software development.

Surely anybody who could download the keygen could just as easily download the pirated game? Only difference is time and dialup costs, but neither of those would’ve pushed somebody into the buy category.

Is getting people’s voices difficult? Doesn’t YT have more than enough data already?

I want it off by default even for calm low HR outdoor walks. Nothing wrong with stopping a few minutes to admire nature during your outdoor walks! This feature was probably designed by the same person who thought it was a great idea not to let us switch off the screenshot sound.

If somebody experiences psychosis while using AI, it’s because they have an existing mental illness and the AI use is co-incidental not causative of mental illness.

Haven’t seen any bloody bodies advertised to my child… yet.

As somebody who has unfortunately had to deal with people suffering actual psychosis stemming from some of the most terrible illnesses that can afflict a human being - no, this is not psychosis.

What parent is describing is more akin to believing in astrology and tea leaves.

Google Play Store showed my child an ad of a bloody body on a bed for a murder mystery game. The game was rated 18+ and the account had my daughter’s correct single digit age.

I reported the ad and a week later it was still there. I switched to Apple.

> Cause if that is justified, then Kimi, Qwen, Deepseek etc are also valued at a trillion dollars

It’s more like a bunch of people are placing different bets. Only a few bets are going to generate a return, possibly only one, but the profit on that one bet will make it all worthwhile. That’s the theory, anyway.

“Intuitive” implies “don’t need to read documentation”. That’s the entire point of my comment. There’s intuitive software and unintuitive software. This is unintuitive software. It’s not bad software, just unintuitive. I place value on intuitive software.

Killer feature is intuitive UX. Using DarkTable was an exercise in frustration for me.

In darkroom mode you can’t navigate to other photos with cursor keys. Since the cursor keys do nothing else I have no idea why the aren’t bound to the nav. You have to double click on a photo to select it, one click does nothing so again I have no idea why not just bind single click to select. Then it recenters the entire row on what you selected, which I find disorientating but I suppose because you can’t navigate with cursor keys this recentering is necessary.

If you are willing to read the manuals and relearn everything it can do what it’s supposed to but the UX of LR is worth it to me.

> have all been shaped heavily by human blood

This assumes the lessons were specific to the body type and aren’t generalizable?

Stable coins are not foreign currency, they are commodities

This is simply not true. In South Africa, one of the largest African economies, you cannot hold foreign currency unless you are traveling and then you have to sell it back within 30 days of returning to the country. You can open a foreign currency account with a minimum of eg R1500 which is half the monthly minimum wage. Then there are the exchange fees to talk about. You are oversimplifying.

Crypto advocates are not one homogenous blob.

I taught myself assembly language from a book on a 286, I cracked games with SoftICE as a teenager, tried out every Linux distribution in the 90s, and have been developing software professionally for 2 decades. I prefer Cursor.

Am I an outlier or do you just judge people for weird reasons? I’ve never seen an IDE person judge a terminal person, it’s always the other way around - what’s up with that?

Where else are you going to get access to a real-time fresh high quality stream of human intelligence to grow your baby AGI? You can’t buy Codex, Claude, Copilot, so what’s left?

I find it gets you past the starting line but when you dig into the code it’s a mess of duplicated code, muddled responsibilities, poor architecture, 10k line files that eat your tokens, etc.

I’m building something using LLMs to scrape websites/socials for unstructured event data from combined text/images and the only way I’ve managed to get 100% consistent results for a reasonable cost is to break the task down into very small pieces that reduce the scope of mistakes significantly.

At present, for reasonable complex tasks, Codex/Claude will happily code you into an expensive corner.

Search for #vibejam on X, there’s a contest running right now with lots of people sharing their dev experiences.

Geez who did you offend? Half your comments are dead for no obvious reason I can tell. Vouched for you but you may want to reach out to @dang.

And when/if you decide to head back to a 3rd party it requires no refactoring again.
