GPT-3 is a different model than gpt-oss and is therefore not an answer to the question. I cannot stand using gpt-oss, but I miss some of the creative spark of GPT-3 davinci dearly.

If you haven’t experienced suica, it’s like magically fast. Faster than NFC, faster than Apple Pay, faster than tap to pay, faster than Disney magic bands, faster than your work badge. It absolutely floored me every time I used it in Japan

man, I dont even use Figma for personal & side projects because its so expensive. I still occasionally fire up sketch or freehand it. Figma is a work tool only and I'm disappointed by its MCP tooling which feels late and behind whe

There are two factors I see with this: I sometimes like having my content editorialized. Some of the LLM writing tropes are ok to me—I'd delete them if I added this prompt to my instructions (but I wouldn't). But my editorial pref

it seems like the Pro Display XDR is discontinued. The webpage for that now redirects to the Studio Displays XDR

The point of the comment is that this is not something we should have to tolerate or worry about in a seemingly high-trust society.

You can usually save more by generating solar locally and using it to power the home and charge the battery, then discharging the battery during peak hours (usually around and just after sunset) to earn the most. Obviously higher upfront ca

Not all homes are made equal: different appliances & electronics from different vintages, etc. I have 2 EVs (Tesla and BMW), an electric oven, and a homelab rack (but no HVAC), and my usage was 34.4 MWh last year — with 100% from Solar

I think it's a pretty reasonable wish for more macOS + Apple Silicon support of games, including more native FEX & Proton ARM support within the steam client. (We're lucky Steam works, it's a better games client than the

I’ve been following this game on twitter, and I’m probably going to lose my entire weekend to playing it. We need more sweaty simulators like this—the genre doesn’t have enough entries.

Is this not going too far? It's a pretty weak "let's save the kids argument" that only serves to improve mass-surveillance outside of the argument presented. Like, this is the advent of strong thought policing and though

I think this is an example of above average but not great AI writing. I still read it to the end because the subject is interesting and there is enough focus (and, seemingly) expertise on the topic. I think the telltale for me that makes

It seems like this new PNG spec just cements what exists already, great! The best codecs are the ones that work on everything. PNG and JPEG work everywhere, reliably. Try opening a HEIC or AV1 or something on a machine that doesn't nat

Prototype is not a charitable interpretation of the product. If you've been part of hardware, firmware, and software development processes, you'd really truly understand what prototypes are.

Perhaps this is a reactionary question, but: shouldn't this be recall worthy? Or is it inherent to Lidar itself? This has the potential to damage safety-critical sensors used in backup cameras or autonomous vehicles—and, obviously, in

These counterfactual comparisons are a slippery slope and not as helpful as you think. I hardly think that you, I, or most others have an intuitive understanding for what happens when a 1 gram meteor hits earth. Have you ever witnessed that

I would like to see more DF on HN. The something rotten in Cupertino was a shattering post—people in my circle who do not read DF were discussing and sending it around, and I work at a place where so many dang people read HN. So I agree w

Whoa is just older. https://www.dictionary.com/e/whoa-or-woah/ Dictionaries are descriptive of actual use, not prescriptive rulings. Both spellings are completely valid, the pedantry is incorrect.

Do signs point toward Apple adopting a unique, new cell chemistry for what will be their high-volume budget product for the next few years? It would have probably been a marketing line if so, similar to the C1 modem. A bigger battery doesn&

Less latency is a feature , not a bug. We've just grown too used to latency in everything we use.

Card sleeves are now generally required, at least in Magic the Gathering, because of double sided cards. I have a (casual, goofy) deck with some proxies and I earnestly cannot tell the difference when they're sleeved.
