Obviously. In my ideal world even the janitors at the same institutions would have a blast, it's just not usually the end-goal reason humans are hired.
>With math you never know up front what 'real improvements in engineering and other life improving fields' will require some key bit of it that someone interested in pure math came up with a decade or two (or 10) before we found an application.
Right, but would it have made a difference for the application layer if that key bit of "pure math" had been discovered by a human (that had a great time) or a machine? That's my point about games being a bad analogy.
I never advanced in math past high school, but my assumption would be that we as a society aren't paying mathematicians to have fun[0]. The discoveries mathematicians make must translate into real improvements in engineering and other life improving fields. So why would we pay mathematicians to work on math much the same way, if a new machine-led way makes these discoveries faster and cheaper?
[0] Being a little facetious. I know I don't know what I don't know.
One year after I posted this last time[0], they're doing it again. My traffic from X has shot way up from people who only ever viewed a full tweet, without pressing the link inside.[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45807775

Gary: "Sorry, YC is a pretty big place and I can't be all places at all times"

Seemed to me like he was apoligizing for admitting them. However I see now he also added "I wouldn't count them out, one questionable video does not mean someone is bad". Maybe I misread it.

Webviews are pretty quarantined from the main safari app. I don't think cookies persist, so I don't think this would be an issue.
OP here. This might be a classic Hacker News sentiment that's not shared by normal users. Being able to instantly return to where you were without having to navigate apps is probably appreciated by a lot of people. (As would be preloading in this instance).
FWIW when I first started browsing HN a common complaint was websites being mobile sized. The sentiment here was they should be rendered in full desktop and require pinch-zooming and scrolling in all directions.
Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic...
Like AI is the gas that powers the AI product. OpenAI sells the gas, the product gets commission.
That was my understanding at least, since I've had the same thought.
I've realized I spend a lot of time hardcoding LLM prompt tweaks and trying to determine their effectiveness from a bit of personal testing. I spend a lot of time fiddling and making not informed decisions.I've been working on an API that runs one of X number of prompts, and can be sent back a good or bad score based on some user interaction. I can see which prompt wins and make them the...
