Given that his company has already released open models, I find it funny that, as you described it, his remark communicates absolutely nothing whatsoever. Not sure what the questio…

Better be using ghostty ;)

> Are they actively working against PWAs, or are they refusing to spend resources supporting another technology? What difference does it make? I'm hardly surprised that they won't …

We don't actually disagree, our definitions of 'web app' and 'browser' just differ. Personally, I find it absurd to say that PWAs (progressive WEB APPs) cease being web apps when i…

Wow I had no idea, thank you for your well-reasoned critique! I can tell you're very capable of evaluating the merits of complex socio-technological systems. Your wisdom is unparal…

Installed PWAs still run in a browser, they just don't show you the address bar so it looks and feels like a native app. (UX) To all your points about a 3rd party intermediary, fai…

> If you do it like this, then I count it as a mobile app, not a webapp. This is pretty funny distinction to make. It's hardly a surprise you find web apps inferior if you define t…

Why?

There are many reasons to prefer an app, most of which are ways OS makers have crippled web apps for reasons that TOTALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO with the fact that they get a 30% cut i…

Is there a relevant recent HN discussion or is this comment just in bad faith?

Not saying you're wrong, but I'll note why inference might dominate despite everything you mentioned. A given model is trained once but applied N times. A large enough N will domin…

Huh. What are the odds two chess-themed roguelikes launch the same day? I haven't played either yet, but I assumed this was about Gambonanza when I read the title. ( https://store.…

sifa.id aspires to that. Wishing Guido (gui.do) the best.

Seems like the solution is to either not incriminate yourself online or get plausible deniability with a pseudonym.

Personally, I really like that my feeds aren't getting that level of granular detail. I prefer the explicit control I have with 'Show more like this' and 'Show less like this'.

You're describing Liquid Democracy[1]. Seems challenging to implement but definitely an interesting idea. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_democracy

Trust is subjective! Let's establish trust in each other rather than rely on one-size-fits-all solutions. Personally, I trust my friends, family, and some public figures and instit…

It's X, not twitter. That system is directly controlled by a single man for his own benefit; we should use the name that reminds us of that. He openly promotes himself and those th…

We're not sinister, we just have these metrics that we prioritize at all costs, up to and including child well-being!

> There are trust issues all the way down. Nonetheless, we must somehow build trust in others and denounce the undeserving. Some humans deserve trust. Will these AI models?

That's unbelievably stupid. But then again, so is not renting out the space at the market rate so you can pretend it's worth more than it really is. So... good luck, I guess?

If someone generates a massive essay with AI, you don't have a moral obligation to do anything. If you want to argue that the reasoning in the essay is incorrect, I do expect you t…

> Even if the conclusion is broadly correct, that doesn't mean the reasoning used to get there is consistent. This is the conclusion of a reply that focused entirely on critiquing …

I strongly suspect it's the latter, though someone please chime in if I'm wrong. Even so, this is a real advancement. It's impressive to see existing techniques combined to meaning…
