    I have been asked numerous times now: "Did you ask Claude?" It's insulting.

    I've been pretty interested in cars lately, and Engineering Explained has some great videos. They can stretch a bit longer than 20 minutes, but I'll just pause the video and come b…

    What questions in particular are you thinking of that's purely about the engineering and ultimately not the political agenda?

    Why did you need Mythos to do this? There's nothing that seems inherently difficult about what has been built here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you've built a fancy …

    ...why? This is something you could automate in about an hour using your own LLM subscription to drive the prompts.

    Cause driving is fun and these systems get in the way without providing any noticeable benefit to me. I tried lane keep assist in an audi a5 sportback, and it was genuinely terrify…

    That definitely addresses the privacy issue, but some of the automatic braking and driver awareness monitoring is a bit much for me. For example, Subaru now puts a camera in the da…

    Ask HN: Where to begin in removing "safety" features from new cars?

    I'm looking at buying a new car, and I'm noticing the ones that fit my needs (mainly Subarus and Toyotas for their AWD) have ridiculously intrusive and finnicky "safety" features t…

    You made a good point that I didn't think through fully. It's the concurrent user aspect that heavily impacts things. Currently, you'd probably need quite a bit more investment to …

    This is part of the reason why I'm really worried that this is all going to result in a greater economic collapse than I think people are realizing. I think companies that are shel…

    Honestly, I think part of the reason Apple hasn't jumped deep into AI is due to two big reasons: 1) Apple is not a data company. 2) Apple hasn't found a compelling, intuitive, and …

    It's probably one of the biggest headlines right now. OpenAI has about $96 billion in debt and they don't have a revenue generating product yet.

    No, I don't think so. You've paid for a service that will run an AI model given some prompt. There have been zero guarantees made that it will actually solve your problem. As other…

    Can you provide examples of YC startups that knowingly broke laws and just dealt with those issues later? I'm not very aware.

    I feel like people genuinely don't understand what vibe coding means. Just cause you're using an LLM doesn't mean you're "vibe coding". I regularly use LLMs at work, but I don't "v…
