None of the complaining here has the slightest chance of changing anything. The only way these companies get put in their place is if their products are used to exfiltrate the video or audio of a powerful politician doing something compromi

I'm fairly certain it's true. Here on YC News, even a minor comment a few lines long might get at least one or two upvotes (or downvotes). I'll get a reply about 50% of the time. On Reddit there are posts with apparent huge

But what use will be their brains to others if a machine can do the thinking instead for a fraction of cost?

I get it, and I don't. By that I mean that I really do understand your position, but I also deeply understand the flawed logic that created that attitude in you. I can't agree with it, because I see the inconsistency, I recognise

Sure, but the cost-per-token is falling very rapidly. That cost will be mere thousands of dollars for a "million dollar problem" soon.

Try Astra on low or at most medium thinking level. Its "low" is better than Sol "high" or even "xhigh", and then it also doesn't overthink as much.

OpenAI just solved a Millennium Prize Problem in a week . The AIs are already beyond human capability in some areas, and will be beyond human in all areas within single-digit years.

Apple Watch doesn't maintain a transcript of every conversation. The user has to take action, and then it only goes back 15 seconds. If someone is following you around within earshot and fiddling with... a notepad and pencil or a wat

How is this different from a privacy standpoint of someone simply memorising what you said in the last fifteen seconds and scribbling it down onto a piece of paper? You’re sounding… hysterical. Even if you regularly say things that must nev

It maintains everyone’s privacy. Just because your voice was recorded doesn’t necessarily mean it can be played back and/or “stolen”. Your soul won’t be sucked out through Apple Watches.

I can't find a good way to articulate this point to other people. What the LLMs lack in depth in a speciality field they more than make up for in breadth! It feels like the "tide is rising" where the minimum level of skill ap

An interesting challenge with dating sites is that the “bell curves” of attractiveness versus desired attractiveness between men and women aren’t symmetric. This leads to difficulties running a dating site because women will only say yes to

It cracks me up that you have to ask in a public forum because the vendors purposefully obscure this critical information. The only reason most of my customers would use Azure Foundry instead of OpenAI directly is the ZDR assurance but it

My understanding is that they’re generally treated as homonyms in most cases but some philosophers like to use OUGHT in a moral sense and SHOULD as practical advice to achieve an OUGHT. Hence OUGHT leads to SHOULD and the latter is meaningl

You write many pages telling the AI to split and structure the scripts into a bunch of folders, so why are you surprised it did exactly that!? I just ask it verbatim “recommend some cleanup” with /plan, review, and then apply.
