Here is GPT 5.5 High thinking; I had to add a second follow up prompt "it's not animated though" as the first one was not animated. https://gistpreview.github.io/?557f979c82701862bc26d24f10399...

that's a good point; hopefully they would just extend it automatically - but who knows...

Looking at the benchmarks, 5.4 is slightly better. But it also offers "Fast" mode (at 2x usage), which - if it works and doesn't completely depletes my Pro plan - is a no brainer at the same or even slightly worse quality for

My own experience is that I get far far more usage (and better quality code, too) from codex. I downgrade my Claude Max to Claude Pro (the $20 plan) and now using codex with Pro plan exclusively for everything.

Very cool site - I think I saw it before here on HN, and I liked it a lot. Did you manually review all the edit results manually yourself, or do you have some kind of automated procedure?

Thanks - and no, I haven't seen this one. I like how they have the edit mode dashboard - show the original image + two edits; I was thinking about doing something like this. I'm also a bit surprised they have gpt-image-1.5 so high

I would argue that it is a leader in vision-only FSD, which is useful for both self-driving and robots.

Thanks, these are fair arguments! Re: both 3 and 4(c) - agree that compute (or maybe even power for that compute) is likely to be a bottleneck in the next 3-5 years. However, I think Tesla/xAI are better positioned than many competitor

You might be more informed that I am. We only have 3 and Y in the family. I based my statement on th fact that S/X were last refreshed 5 years ago; so they would need to be refreshed fairly soon.

Shutting down low-volume, complex project, that needs to be substantially redesigned to be competitive, while these resources can be redeployed elsewhere, in high growth areas? I disagree: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

Hard to tell whether you are serious or sarcastic, but assuming it's the former: my contrarian position on CC vs SaaS is that in the quest to kill shitty businesses people will discover that creating a high-value SaaS is very non-tri

"HN is dying" is a cliche, I know, but I seriously want to bookmark this thread to revisit it in 10 years - I'm sure it will age even better than (in)famous Dropbox thread. So from that perspective, HN is alive and well :). T

Do people use Swift outside of Apple iOS/macOS development in real life? Especially on platforms like Windows/Linux/*BSD?

Prediction: the only remaining providers of AI-assisted tools in a few years will be the LLM companies themselves (think claude code, codex, gemini, future xai/Alibaba/etc.), via CLIs + integrations such as ASP. There is very litt

Hm... why not tokens as reported by each LLM provider? They already handle pricing for images etc.

Claude uses OpenAI-compatible APIs, and Claude Code respects environment variables that change the base url/token.

The most unexpected news to me was that Hacker News, apparently, runs on top of SBCL now, via a secret implementation of Arc in Common Lisp!

Thank you Josh. Is there a resource you can point us too that helps answer "what kind of MacBook pro memory do I need to run ABC model at XYZ quantization?"

But diluting OpenAi's (or any other company's, for that matter) market power does benefit the world.

No, I did not, and agree it would be an interesting experiment. Daylight Co still claims the absence of blue light, which cannot be achieved in an IPad from what I understand even with a filter.

For hand-writing, I just use the provided tools (Notebook and Reader). Notebook is OK, Reader is interesting but glitchy (it's their own software I think), but I'm sure Android ecosystem has solved these problems already - I just

It's a reflective LCD, much better in a direct sunlight. Our mileage certainly varies - I would not consider buying an iPad (I already have an iPad mini and don't want more of that), but this device I really like. It's hard t

Interesting feedback, thanks. My own reflections: - oddly heavy : it's indeed heavier than remarkable, but not an issue for me. - handwriting lag : hm, which app did you use? I didn't notice that in both Reader and Notes, the ex

I think it's a standard Wacom stylus. I like it overall, the writing is pretty fluid.

After a few days of using Daylight Computer, I have to admit that it solves all the pain points I had with Remarkable 2: - 60 FPS screen makes a huge difference in reading experience, especially if you want to flip through a PDF quickly -
