    Do you know where you are lol? HN is ran by YC. All of the ads are YC ads for that reason

    I'm not sure why they even included Opus in the graph. This is effectively a flash/haiku model & should only be compared against Luna

    Lol is that a helmet? Clearly they're taking the Anthropic path and are safety pilling their models

    I'm wondering what people expect these companies to do? Human moderators? Sure, but Meta products have approximately half the worlds population using them. At this scale it's prett…

    Isn't this a non story? (At least from Flocks perspective) it seems mostly like the fault of the officers involved. The title makes it sound like they actively seeked to silence a …

    Video is better. The models just chose older video models which are not SOTA

    It's the YC playbook. I guess it works, Corgi for example a "AI" insurance company with like only 5 real engineers and a bunch of growth people. Their main customer is other startu…

    Yes but my point is - Resource limits are a "recommendation" and are not strictly enforced - Significantly boosting resources up to 3 did not statistically shift performance result…

    Huh? What are you talking about? https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/infrastructure-noise Is anthropic benchmark maxxing and cheating on terminal bench too? They don't follow the…

    It seems to rank at around the same as nano banana (slightly higher) in blind A/B test benchmark but of course gpt image is a step above both right now

    They founded LeapMotion previously which was pretty big and totally unrelated to AI. They've been doing all sorts of shenanigans it seems

    I'd be very cautious how matching works. For some markets like sports it's trivial, but many politics or economics markets have minute rule differences that dramatically change wha…

    It's not your money. Tax breaks are no ones money. No money is being sent for a tax break.

    None of those are standard and open except for Decent and UVI which does have third party developers albiet not many. Anecdotally the only dev I know on UVI is acoustic samples? Si…

    Uhh have you seen the revenue growth of them? Oracle 22%, Amazon is 17% (if im reading it right) and Meta was 33% I don't think any of them are learning the lesson you think they a…

    Is this post not just an ad for a vibe coded site / product? It adds no new info on the mercor breach and advertises something which I presume has even worse safety practices

    Polymarket isn't doing anything about it. It's the US government because obviously while I suppose this info made a more accurate "prediction" it also yk, leaked confidential state…

    Huh, that's news to me. I had to do some googling and the only one I could find was by Phalicity which seems to be from a Meta employee who left and made it into a company (a la St…

    I loved using sapling / mercurial so much at work that I ended up using the sapling SCM vsc extension at home all the time for personal work. Only downside is that Phabricator is n…
