From my experience, it's quite hit and miss for every app. If you use Google 99% of the time and only check other apps when Google is wrong, then that's a biased experiments.

I disagree. Similar to you, 95% of the time I do the simple use case that I've memorized. The problem is that even after a decade of using Git, when I get into those 5% where something goes wrong, I have no idea how to actually solve i

I don't understand why the fact that it's an Airbnb really matters here? Unless a large number of apartments are meant to be empty, why does it matter if the tenant is short term or long term? Is it that short term users leave and

I just tried it, and the answer is non-sense. I asked it something simple, list some good indie puzzle games, and half the answers are games that don't exist. Imo quality > speed.

Isn't another issue that most successful open models are distilled from closed models, but closed models are putting more and better safeguards against distillation?

No? The only different between these robots and a washing machine is that in theory, the robot is generalist and can do many tasks, whereas a washing or laundry machine can only do one task. You can still in theory fully control what task t

SpaceX has had 165 launches in 2025 (although admittedly 75% of those were for Starlink...) Obviously bigger isn't more economical or sensical, and most cases are served just fine with the Falcons, but there are cases we need the big b

Even better, since everything is well organized, you can add `opacity: 0.7` to `.wall` specifically, and get something that looks almost exactly like how old school wallhacks looked like.

Yep, Tile I believe is the only third party service that exists. All other trackers either plug into "Apple Find My" or "Android Find My Device" network. There's finally starting to be a few devices that can do both

Atuvos one at 1.6mm and UGreen one at 1.7mm are great, though one time battery is annoying. There are some that have wireless charging, though thicker.

That's awesome. I'm glad that trackers have reached a price point, reliability and form factors that I can easily put one in everything I care about. I even have card ones in my wallet, my steam deck / e-reader case, etc. Als

> So they're like, buying into a depreciating asset Part of the issue is that the average age of the House is ~55 and for the senate it's above 60. So they have a lot less incentive to care about that, or about climate change.

You could try passing it 10-20 front pages across a much wider time range. You can use: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2025-12-04 to get the frontpage on a given date.

One piece I'd like to see more clarification on is, is he doing multiple samples per pixel (like with ray tracing?). For his 1280x720 resolution video, that's around 900k pixels, so at 30Khz, it would take around 30s to record one

So you're basically saying that you can spend as much money to get a knife that will cut as well but requires regular work put into it, whereas this doesn't? I think that's the whole pitch here...

Before a model is announced, they use codenames on the arenas. If you look online, you can see people posting about new secret models and people trying to guess whose model it is.
