“So glad we found a home for all of the Claudes!”

I think Codex is a better fit for professional software engineers. It's able to one-shot larger, more complex tasks than Claude and also does better context management which is rea…

Context management is one area where I’ve found Codex is a lot better than Claude. Sessions last forever without degrading. Codex doesn’t forget things that Claude drops from conte…

Another sketchy practice: if you get Uber Cash through a card like Amex, when you go to use it the price for the ride is automatically $15-$20 more than someone who doesn’t have an…

If you believe the AGI thesis, this is a stepping stone to unlocking fusion and other scientific advances.

Jobs was kind of infamous for making people put their app / product in front of him while he sat in silence and used it. Harder to fake. But lots of execs don't know enough about t…

One of the things I love about ChatGPT is voice mode for collaborative searching. My wife and I will both ask questions about things like house repairs, meal planning, sleep traini…

Why assume that chat will be the interface? Multimodal and dynamically generated seems more likely.

I find it fascinating how communication channels are subject to some form of Goodhart’s law. Channels that are recognized as valuable by subscribers become more desirable by publis…

I truly wonder if this is an “any publicity is good publicity” tactic on their part. It’s now national news that OpenAI supports conversational voice. Buying this level of publicit…

The same problem can have different causes. Forgive me, but this sounds like rationalized fatalism. I’m genuinely curious, what keeps Sweden from building more cheap housing?

More people need to know about the role unions play in obstructing new construction. From locking up permits in CEQA reviews to blocking pre-fabricated structures, they are one of …

IMO teaching people about passkeys and making the onboarding experience as easy as possible would be many times more effective at actually preventing phishing.

Boom (and supersonic aircraft) are a strategic investment priority for Saudi Arabia to sustain demand for oil. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about their impa…

It’s one of those experiences you didn’t realize you wanted until you have it. - No need for chit chat, you can just work / talk on the phone / play music - No 18-hour shift sweat …

The only major U.S. airline to not currently operate the MAX is Delta. Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Spirit, and SunCountry also do not operate it.

Agree with this. For folks not familiar with Twilio leadership, I would liken Kho to Twilio's version of Tim Cook. For the size and stage of growth that Twilio's at, he's the best …

I’ve noticed these near-death-experience videos coming up in my recommendations and found it truly odd. They don’t seem to have anything to do with what I normally watch. I have to…

Out of curiosity, have you ever been responsible for hiring and managing a team? I say this because my experience of hiring and employing people really shifted my opinion in favor …

I'd be curious to know from someone with more knowledge: are there any technological improvements that could prevent this kind of accident? It seems as though it should be possible…

I'm very mixed about B-corp (I say this as someone who went through it about 10 years ago). There isn't really anything about the certification process that's binding, and it's def…

Yes, the “Rockwell Retro Encabulator” - a Reddit favorite - is currently on the front page of HN. Sigh.

Many people will exclaim, "only $9M!?" It's probably true that this amount is underestimated. But it's also true that incumbent politicians are very cheap. For example, a $10,000 d…

This firing very much has the feeling of the board fearfully pulling the circuit breaker on OpenAI's for-profit trajectory. On the one hand, I actually respect their principles. Op…
