    I think the premise of the article is interesting, but it's a bit mis-leading to start it out by quoting "last year half of the internet was AI-generated" and the source doesn't ac…

    Yes but companies would love for a robot to be able to do it instead.

    In reality, I think it's more likely that the lay-offs will be when the marginal rate of growth slows down. Once executives see that growth doesn't change much when hiring, they st…

    Agree, but maybe they worry they'll be even more irrelevant if they don't partner? Keep your enemies close...

    Shout out to Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ ), which I use on a daily basis. It does most of what Obsidian does but has a free sync version where you just use your cloud drive as …

    They are being selected for their survival potential, though. Any current version of LLMs are the winners of the training selection process. They will "die" once new generations ar…

    Would you like me to draft a list of recommendations for how best to use comments?

    Can I ask how you annotate the feedback for it? Just with inline comments like `# This should be changed to X`? The author mentions annotations but doesn't go into detail about how…

    There's pretty much only one global insurer affiliated with dive schools, so this is spot on

    If the monopolist chef is deliberately adding addictive ingredients that causes health problems, I think, yes, they're the ones to punish or address the problem with.

    This hit close to home..! I had a startup some years ago and took angel funding from family. When we were later running out of cash and had to raise professional money to stay aliv…

    I used to resonate with the word "taste" as a distinguishing factor between good and bad quality, but a comment on HN some months ago about one of the many blog posts that talks ab…

    1000% agree on the YouTube/Spotify parallel!! I find it so annoying on Spotify when my daughter wants to listen to kids music, I have to navigate 5 clicks and scrolls to turn on pr…

    Nice interactivity, but this is taken straight from the Designing Data-Intensive Applications. Literally all the content here is an interactive version of chapter 3. Maybe give cre…

    A person with integrity would have promoted bootcamps and recused themselves from smearing competitors.

    I agree with you. Just disappointing that it's just another company slowly abandoning their mission in favor of profits.

    I'll bet $100 they're seeing an opportunity to dethrone Google as the entrance point to the web and this is a big part of it. It feels like OpenAI's mission has changed from "We wa…

    This story sounds like the worst consequence of American liberalism and capitalism in one. This would be a hit TV show on par with Baby Reindeer, if it was ever televised.

    In Swedish it's "var uppmärksam" which is more like "be attentive" - same as in English. They just use the adjective form more.

    I strongly doubt that Cursor makes anywhere near 40m profit. All they're revenue is spent on tokens with the LLM vendors. I'd be surprised if they are even running at positive marg…

    Someone else mentioned it in the comments. A quick google gives some websites that estimates their revenue to that within +/- 5M

    $2B valuation at $16M revenue sounds nuts.. My prediction: They're banking on a big exit to OpenAI or Claude as the defacto backend for an AI IDE. They're the only big alternative …
