I think their move makes a lot of sense. Frontier models can probably not advance much further with the datasets we have currently available. Most of the text that goes in is onlin…

People keep bringing WW3 up but I disagree. There's such a huge aversion in EU countries against any kind of war against Russia and the governments know it. They will let a LOT sli…

Upvoting this so more people see how cringey it's written.

That's an overgeneralization and haircuts for debtors are common - even when a positive equity value remains.

lightning is a pain to set up, you have to open a channel and keep funding it - so if we are talking about small amounts these costs should definitely be added to your calculation.…

very unlikely that they are holding models back. models are very quickly depreciating in value and have internal cutoff dates. that would really not make sense from a business pers…

Some good answers below already. I think the anti nuclear movement already started before Chernobyl. I believe it was one of the founding ideologies of the green parties (the dange…

If you find a more informed and up-to-date source than a market where people wagered close to $1M on I'm all ears.

There's a very low chance of OpenAI doing an IPO this year: https://polymarket.com/event/openai-ipo-by . So the assumption that they "have to do an IPO" already seems questionable.…

No to both in my opinion. The EU market is in reality still heavily fractured - especially in the services sector. A Hungarian construction company for example can't just easily bu…

Fascinating. The 2001 shift aligns well with China's entry into the WTO.

I think this is part of a long term development where technology and globalization slowly erode workers bargaining power. Basically you only build a factory in the US if you can ke…

There are already open weight models out there that are capable and cheap enough for a lot of coding tasks. Not as good as Claude but not far from it. There's no going back to pre-…

Whether public or individual transportation makes more sense really depends on a country’s geography and people’s housing preferences. Public transportation is not always the best …

Maybe Im nitpicking here but LLMs are quite literal. So when you tell it to "implement a function for me" it will necessarily write the whole thing. Changing the prompt to "find an…

yes, they will.

I'm surprised prediction markets don't get more support here on HN. There's a lot of benefit in having a probability estimate for various kinds of events. One example of many: http…

I think LLMs will make dealing with complicated ERPs much simpler. So I built a chat-native one that can do all the functionality just via prompting: https://github.com/lambdadevel…

They only want dumb humans doing the shopping not some hyper-focused bot that wont add any extra items into the shopping cart.

Thanks. The demo itself is prerecorded - so no LLM calls. It's just replaying from the sql db. In an actual request it isn't much slower though in finding what tools to use, etc. Y…

good question - some thoughts I had: hosting the model and maybe some review process. for example: you have the customer's employees telling llms about new features and then a dedi…

I believe this is the direction enterprise software is generally going. An open-source base with a very permissive license that then each company can adapt (with claude, codex, etc…
