Wait, so did this already happen and it just didn’t get attention?

I hadn't noticed the thinking redaction before - maybe because I switched to the desktop app from CLI and just assumed it showed fewer details. This is the most concerning part. I've heard multiple times that Anthropic is aggressi

It’s become a core expectation at work now (Meta). If I’m not actively using it, then I’ll be significantly dinged in performance reviews. Honestly, it’s forced me to consider going to work elsewhere. It does _feel_ like the value and happi

~20 years working in tech for me, mostly big companies, and I’ve never been more miserable. I also can’t stop myself from using Claude Code and the like. I think it’s a bit like a gambling addiction. I’m riding high the few times it pays of

I see not being able to install invasive kernel level anti-cheat as a positive. I uninstalled all Riot games before they rolled it out. I would’ve been pretty miffed if I had accidentally gotten their kernel modules simply because I wasn’t

Deep Think is TBD. Maybe. So far I like it better than GPT 5.1 Pro, but that came after the initial purchase. I likely won’t renew at this tier.

There are some clear objective signals that aren’t just user preference. I shelled out the $250 for Gemini’s top tier and am profoundly disappointed. I had forgotten that loops were still a thing. I’ve hit this multiple times in Gemini CLI,

That’s a pretty uncharitable take. Given the scale of their recent launches and amount of compute to make them work, it seems incredibly smooth. Edge cases always arise, and all the company/teams can really do is be responsive - which

AT&T is pretty bad in its own way. They snoop DNS and to sell your info (including physical address) to advertisers - even if you switch your DNS providers. They used to had a paid opt out (~$20/mo IIRC) but I don’t see that option

This reply seems to miss the question, or at least doesn’t answer it clearly. Is this service overly tolerant of mispronunciations? Foundational models are becoming more tolerant, not less, over time which is the opposite of what I’d want i

I’ve found such changes can actually be a draw at first. “Hey look, progress and activity!”. Doubly so as a primarily C++ dev frustrated with legacy choices in stl. But as you and others point out, living with these changes is a huge pain.

It’s definitely not a transaction. Every time I’ve seen push come to shove, companies prioritize the folks they see as critical to their company’s success with loyalty not even being a small factor. And if it’s a moderate to large sized com

That could explain compute efficiency, but has nothing to do with the parameter efficiency pointed at in the paper.

I love that “in mice” is in the title (both on HN and in the original article). It seems like a promising result and I really appreciate them not over hyping it.

I’m surprised as well. I start my day off with a half hour of video game news everyday (Spawn Wave + other sources) and hadn’t heard a peep about this.

An indie studio building not only its own engine but its own language to make its own engine seems like a huge mistake.

Except it was the government agency that violated their agreements by providing this data. At least Facebook, based on their response, specifically put in the agreement that this sort of data should never be provided. It seems like the prop

GPL is tricky at the best of times to enforce. Onyx, makers of Boox, was called out on this years ago (sorry I couldn’t find a single concise source to link to) and hasn’t faced any consequences. I doubt Rabbit will get in trouble for this.

I’m highly skeptical of the conclusions here. Many corporations already record periodic screenshots of employee devices. There’s also a bunch of hand waving of “security incident here, therefore hackers will access your machine”. The crux o

I really dislike seeing a call to action like this with all context squeezed down to a thread on X. Perhaps the bill is as crazy as the post makes it sound, but the giant claims (e.g. 24 regulators with no accountability that can put you in

Title could use a 2021 in it to frame it as being separate from the current restoration of net neutrality. It’s really unfortunate that, as far as I can see, there were zero consequences for this behavior. Maybe it’s lack of evidence tying

Are there stats somewhere about headcount in their different offices and how much they plan to move? I usually assume things like this are symbolic or tax related without actually resulting in a massive move. Maybe it’s answered in the arti

I think this misses the point of the article, which is that a third party is filing fake DMCA notices in Nintendo’s name.
