I've been following closely and have been both very impressed with what they're building but also very disappointed. They have a great vision for a seamless hardware project, but c…

I would pay significantly more to use these models if there was a legal contract that guaranteed they weren't ever terfing them and some way to prove that.

I assumed (perhaps incorrectly, but it was a guess since I never dug into it) that less used "hot pockets" of previous inference gradually got more stale as time went on, and the c…

Imagine getting free tokens from OpenAI and the special flag on your account that tells it to "never nerf you" ? To be clear, I've had some great success using these tools, they're…

This only makes sense if the underlying thing that gets exposed after you put in the password is a block device... I'd want to then be able to have that encrypted with LUKS myself,…

What a badly written article. How could you leave out the N900 and the development history that came before it? If it wasn't for Elop and Microsoft, Nokia could have dominated and …

Haskell definitely needs to improve a lot of things, but moving to python is obviously a mistake for most cases. Golang is probably the best language for LLM things, it's got reaso…

The codex software is garbage compared to Claude, but open source is the future, so you should at least switch.

Kind of a crap article that doesn't (1) link to the code (or to the golang implementation from the paper) and (2) doesn't even have the word "CAP" in it.

For many years, I've wanted ED-209 (robocop) voice from something like espeak or similar. Still can't find anything good. Not for chat, just as a way to make notification messages …

Serious countries don't still use the death penalty. It's barbaric. Even if the crimes are barbaric.

I like the privacy conscious aspects. Apart from the obvious issue of "run it through Claude" how many of those referenced analysis tools are entirely open source or at least run l…

When this is a good quality Laser printer let me know. Nobody really wants inkjet that's not for high end photo printing.

Having it stick out like that is such a stupid design. Almost as dumb as all the 2FA dongles. The USB-A ones that you could leave in actually made the most sense. Yes I know.

Concise and spot on. I learned about this "thinking" stuff not too long ago, and I was quite surprised that they keep it hidden. Long-term this isn't going to fly. I hope we get tr…

I want to like codex, but the quality is just not very good, especially when compared to Claude. It used to work okay, but a while back they landed a major regression for an entire…

The difference between this one (good) and the Anthropic program (bad) is that openai doesn't force you into a marketing clause while Anthropic does. I mean seriously, you already …

Looks proprietary. Need fully open source to guarantee that right long term.

Signal refuses to answer: Why won't they release/open source all of their backend infra automation scripts/tools/etc... There's no reasonable reason why a 501(c)(3) won't put this …

Is it zero-indexed, or are they really behind in choosing winners, or am I loosing my mind... Isn't it 2026 not 2025??

[dead]

Anthropic is missing the plot by not releasing even the CLI (tui) claude code as open source. On the other hand, Codex is so garbage that as soon as they catch up it will be done f…

I want a fully open source car. That's luxury!

You'd think a billion dollar company would be able to normalize the sound level on their video :/

I don't know why they aren't doing more booster catches. Kind of a bit disappointed they keep skipping. Either they can land them or they can't. If it's not consistent then they're…
