    Yeah I'm getting an error where it says account has been suspended. They really are becoming an embarassment

    Yeah but it also then strikes the perfect balance between being meticulous and pragmatic. Also it pushes back much more often than other models in that mode.

    Same here. I feel like all of these shenanigans could be because Anthropic are compute constrained, forcing then to take reckless risks around reducing it.

    Because you can't do it in public since it's illegal, but club toilets is where people take it.

    Yes if we squint really hard then this could be the reason. It could also be because it's a PR disaster.

    This is unfair and why people see HN as largely a pessimistic crowd. Just because someone might be wrong doesn't mean they are actively trying to deceit you, which I assume you mea…

    Does anyone get the demos at https://www.gpt-oss.com to work, or are the servers down immediately after launch? I'm only getting the spinner after prompting.

    Fantastic product! I almost feel bad for Screen Studio as he's a solo creator and charges for the product, this will most certainly be bad news for him

    Show HN: An inline UX and conversion helper for developers

    We've been building a tool called checkra.io to help solo developers with conversion recommendations, copywriting and UX. It's a JS snippet (script tag or npm) that adds a floating…

    I've seen this comment a couple of times. What would be a better way of doing it? Also consider that if they would've had a more complex formula, what would be the cost of needing …

    I wish I could do this for Spotify. Paid plans still include ads. They cram ads into podcast episodes which themselves also have ads, so you'll get the read ads + Spotify's local a…

    This was an incredible episode interweaving engineering, politics and an idea of where the world might be headed the next 20-30 years.

    See I kind of buy the database argument but also kind of don't. A database needs an operator whereas a LLM doesn't. You're basically melting the product into a piece of goo and the…

    How is it not emerging, if the phenomena hasn’t been hard-wired in and is unexpected?

    This already happened with SBF who operated under a democrat administration. The more interesting conversation is how could the UX and potentially AI based investment assistants pr…

    It’s also a result of German unions. It’s practically impossible to fire people in the auto industry, so effectively what we do at VW is we have deadweight organisations where peop…

    Are there any areas where an AI startup can actually make an impact? All I've seen is either billion+ funded foundational models, or thin GPT wrappers - all with the same probabili…

    Another riff on this is that you won’t get better products, but more products. AI reduces the barrier of entry and you’ll have many products doing niche things (often for free!) in…
