Are you being sarcastic? Even if “Google is struggling so badly” (which it really is not - the narrative will flip again at some point), these efforts will have a lasting impact on…

Anthropic expends tons of compute and effort on understanding internal model states [1]; this kind of thing is right up their alley. [1]: Recent example: https://www.anthropic.com/…

Don’t know about Swish but UPI heavily influenced Pix, from its open architecture, alias-based addressing, and QR code infrastructure

I like the analogy with brownian motion, thanks for sharing that

The unhappiness is primarily stemming from Bun’s ownership by Anthropic - HN sees this as Anthropic using an OSS project for reckless marketing stunts. For the record I don’t belie…

The “no moat” comment is from May 2023, very early in the LLM era. Agents were not a thing yet, it was all just text generation. The integration of LLMs with tools and data via age…

https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/performance.html Nasdaq 100 -> 4.5x your money in 10y S&P 500 -> 2.5x your money in 10y

Just holding Nasdaq 100 ETFs is enough? People get impressed by "doubled my money" but forget that the most important question is - how much time did it take? Even a super safe ass…

Doubling your money in 10 years is < 7.2% per year compounded. With the risks involved here, I wouldn’t take that bet. There are safer assets that would return that much.

I’m curious about your politics that are comfortable accepting a long list of invasions by the US, but somehow draw the line when it comes to this particular invasion. I’m not sayi…

It’s ironic the way you put it - the US has also invaded many countries, is responsible for a lot of cyber crime, and uses misinformation to sow chaos in other countries [1]. Shoul…

OP already mentioned at the end of the post that they’ve expanded to Slack, ChatGPT, etc

Interesting thought - why do you say Microsoft?

What “US proprietary systems” does UPI lock people into, exactly? The number of available UPI apps today exceeds 100. Some of the big ones are created by US companies, sure, but ma…

No, the "delivers sound directly to your ears" is a direct quote from the event (I watched the whole thing). You can also find it on The Verge's live blog (they caught that silly q…

Yes I'm a bit confused about their motivations too. Sharing what I've pieced together so far (and trying to approach this from a good-faith perspective): My understanding so far is…

My understanding so far is that OP runs a Postgres consulting firm [1], and it appears they took the liberty of registering a Postgres trademark for the class of "professional serv…

Folks in the HN community - there is no good reason to downvote/flag OP's comment here, it's clearly not violating any guidelines. Please do not reflex-downvote out of a sense of c…

I think Gerrit does most/all of this, like kb shortcuts, saving drafts and posting comments in a batch.
