Seems like OpenAI has already made themselves not the cause by shutting down the attack and beefing up security. But since there will be other attackers, that does nothing about th…

Maybe they should get some credit for taking full advantage of whatever assets they have? It's better than not using them.

Burning natural gas instead of coal should result in about half as much carbon emissions theoretically, although methane leaks will narrow the advantage.

Some people want quick results. Some people want it to keep searching for a new math proof overnight without giving up, and they have money to burn. It seems like giving it a time …

$20/month also gives you API access for coding, in any coding agent. I keep hitting the weekly limit but it's a good deal while it lasts.

It's also pretty cheap if you're paying for it (for coding). But I don't quite trust it for anything complicated, so I often use Terra.

Yes I know, but how do they plan to get to the moon?

Seems like Starship has a ways to go before carrying human passengers?

This is tricky to navigate because most of the sky survey hasn't happened yet. You need to zoom way out and look for patches that are mostly, but not completely black. And that giv…

This seems to be for business plans only?

Maybe, but a specific example showing how to do it would have been a more compelling argument.

Who says they aren’t? But it’s unclear how much damage they did and the attacked companies haven’t sued, yet.

It should be the same as for any public transport: it's the service operator's responsibility to run the system. The rider doesn't need insurance. I imagine Google has enough money…

Isn't that what you'd expect from a camera service provider? I'd certainly want any videos taken by my own cameras to be owned by me.

Why not use both open source and closed source software? Pick your battles. It's okay to buy a Mac or pay a hosting provider. Customize the tools that actually matter to you.

It's a VM hosting service. The devtools they have in mind run on top. But there are other open source projects that will help you self-host.

It seems like an odd purity test to advocate for on a Y Combinator website. Why are you here if you're so worried about being influenced by VC's?

Open sourcing devtools seems like a "commodify your complement" thing. A way to do that is to sell hosting. People can self-host if they want to, but some people will prefer to pay…

Skilled use may or may not matter, depending on the task. Do you need to do what Terence Tao is doing?

This will depend on the problem; I expect big algorithmic performance improvements in AI since the algorithms are still new, inefficent, and constantly being improved. But maybe no…

The idea is that upgrading a devtool is like upgrading a vendored library. It's not something you do automatically or while you're in the middle of doing something else. Usually th…

Updating a constant versus a config parameter isn’t all that different if the build is fast. I do think modularity will remain important because it makes merge conflicts less likel…

You tell the AI what broke and it fixes it, and this is usually a better experience than contacting support. But what if that fails? This might not generalize beyond developers, or…

If you don't try to have fun with it then you're not going to have fun.

Huh, I thought I was reasonably good at this but didn't see them. Rather than getting annoyed about it, maybe it could be a fun puzzle? Spot the AI glitches in this image. Maybe do…
